Hamburger buns are like bookends—they're best used as a pair, often hold life-changing experiences between them, and look more appetizing when hugging ground beef.

Fortago Burger Bar crushes cravings with a monstrous menu of juicy burgers, overstuffed burritos, sandwich plates, mountainous salads, and more. Build your own burger from a selection of beef ($3.25–$5.95), veggie ($5.50), turkey ($5.50), or salmon ($6.95) patties, topped with cheeses ($0.75) and premium toppings, including a fried egg, spicy chili, or two onion rings ($0.75), or be edibly influenced by a list of prebuilt burgers.

Milk shakes ($4.25) keep meals company, or become ice cream-based soup when added to Oreos, Snickers, or M&Ms ($0.76 each), and desserts, such as baklava ($3.50), various cakes ($3.50), and cookies ($2.99 for four), round out effusive feasts.

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.
