Burgers are the Cadillac of sandwiches, with smooth, classic bun lines and a massive, American-made BEEF-8 beneath the soft, delicious hood. Peel out on your taste buds with today's deal: for $9, you get $18 worth of burgers, sandwiches, poutine, shakes, and more at Corner Burger, a café located three blocks from the 4th and 9th D, N, and R trains in Park Slope.
Pop into the aptly named diner at the corner of 5th Avenue and 6th Street and give a menu a quick glance before digging in. Assemble a meal with Corner Burger's three-step fare factory, beginning with a veggie, turkey, or beef patty ($6.50 each), layering your selection with one of eight cheeses ($0.75 apiece) and slapping a topping and dollop of sauce on before calling it dinner (nine toppings $0.50–$1.25, six sauces gratis). Sidestep the manufacturing with a signature burger such as the Slope burger (cheddar, bacon, and onion rings, $9.25), an all-beef chili-cheese dog ($4.50), or a brand-new, north-of-the-border addition to Corner Burger's menu—Montreal poutine. Have a classic poutine (fries, cheese curds, and classic gravy, $7) to form a frame of reference, or innovate with a poutine cochon: fries, cheese curds, pulled pork, and warm barbecue sauce ($8.50). Finish up with an old-school chocolate shake ($5) or an old-school adult shake (Brooklyn lager, $5).
Corner Burger's Park Slope location is conveniently close to the 4th Avenue and 9th Street station and spank in the middle of the chic 5th Avenue shopping district. Stop in for a power lunch during an afternoon of commercial conquest, or head over with a Canadian friend to share a geographically inappropriate yet savory meal.
Groupon Says
The Groupon Guide to: Lawful Motorcycling
Motorcycles, though often associated with reverse Robin Hoods, can be fun to ride even for non tough guys. Here's how to harness the speed and loudness of these two-wheelers without becoming a crime criminal yourself:
- Wear a Helmet: Many municipalities require motorcycle riders to wear a helmet; it sends an important message to kids–looking dorky can be pretty cool.
- Keep Your Hands on the Wheel: "Hands at 10 and 2" is even more important on a motorcycle.
- Obey the Rules of the Road: Popular rules include speed limits, velocity restrictions, and laws against driving under the influence of going too fast.
- Stay on the Road: Or, drive on the sidewalk, which is a tiny road for motorcycles.
- Avoid Intentional Crashes: Insurance only pays for three a month.
