Like fairies, hamburgers are famously difficult to photograph because they can take thousands of forms and wear a variety of sauces. Encounter this illusory edible with today's Groupon: for $6, you get a burger at Heartland Brewery’s Empire State location in Midtown.
Heartland Brewery baits beer connoisseurs and burger buffs with an enticing selection of fresh brews and pub fare in an expansive two-story space. Fit carnivorous fingers with a choice of handheld meat morsels such as the Kobe burger, a tempting patty of freshly ground Kobe beef draped in lettuce and tomato and presented upon a pillowy kaiser roll ($16.95). The grilled turkey burger adorns its poultry façade with a tasty hamburger costume to get invited to bovine pajama parties ($12.95), while the free-range buffalo burger dons Southern sensibilities doused in homemade barbecue sauce ($14.29). A better way to sate seaside hunger than soaking a burger in brine, the sashimi-grade ahi tuna burger is wrangled from underwater plains by manatee mounted cowboys and dotted with wasabi sauce and sesame oil ($14.95). Though not included in the price of the Groupon, bun bundlers can enhance burgers with an array of cheese, bacon, and sautéed veggies ($1.75 each). The pub also proffers its own selection of 16 signature beers, all brewed in New York City, along with an enticing lineup of sweets including piping fresh saccharine circles made by its own donut robot.

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.
