The hamburger is widely considered science's greatest invention, outstripping ultimate frisbee and velcro sneakers to assume the title. Toast to edible progress with today’s Groupon: for $3, you get two regular or bacon sliders (up to a $5.50 value) at Mark in the East Village.
Mark’s pays tribute to its meaty namesake by crafting fresh, juicy sandwiches in snack-size servings. Careful attention and dedicated labor goes into the backroom’s burgercraft, as each patty is sculpted from freshly ground beef before embarking on its ancient rite of passage to the kitchen’s old-school cast iron grill. Invite your mouth to a meal of a regular slider ($2) or a bacon slider ($2.75), each served with cheese and onions. Mark’s cozy, red-tinged interior pairs dimly lit, low lying tables with rough-and-tumble bare brick walls and graffiti murals urging you to indulge in a way inanimate paint people never can.

Gayot, Behind the Burner, Thrillist, and Always Hungry reviewed Mark. Google Mappers and more than 230 Yelpers give it a four-star average.
- Low-lying tables and a long bar topped with thick wood almost steal the show from the real attraction: the cheeseburger and bacon burger made from chuck, sirloin and short rib. – Gayot
- Super tasty sliders! The bacon one is REALLY tasty. – Christina F., Yelp, 01/28/11
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.
