Unlike standard poodles, giant goldfish, or competitive bodybuilders, the large version of a small burger is scientifically more acceptable and less socially unnerving. Taste multisize meat coins and more with today's Groupon: for $6, you get your choice of a deluxe certified Angus beef burger, deluxe chicken burger, jumbo veggie burger, or three Kobe beef sliders at EJ's Luncheonette on Third Avenue on the Upper East Side (up to a $10.50 value).
Dishing out classic, American comfort fare in retro diner fashion, the upbeat servers at EJ's charm tables with classic sandwiches, salads, and breakfast plates. Build a burger via EJ's new menu of pattied palate pleasers. The 8-ounce certified Angus beef burger is a meat paperweight adorned with ringed red onions, pickles, lettuce, and slaw or french fries (a $10 value). Diners can appease bovine BFFs by opting for an 8-ounce freshly ground chicken patty (a $9.50 value) or a jumbo veggie burger, which, though smaller than a frisbee, comes slathered with guacamole and layers of tomatoes and sprouts (a $10 value).
Mock white-linen dinering unfolds with three Kobe beef sliders tucked neatly into potato rolls and topped with grilled onions, pickles, and EJ's secret sauce (a $10.50 value). An Upper East Side landmark, EJ's is so old school, it doesn't deal with futuristic credit cards, so make sure you’ve got enough cash for a tip on your journey back in time.

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.
