Ever since our ancestors evolved Velcro-tipped tentacles, humans have yearned for the feel of a juicy burger in their bare hands. Bite into hook-and-loop-free nostalgia with today's Groupon: for $8, you get $16 worth of gourmet burgers and milkshakes at PYT.

PYT proffers a mouthwatering menu loaded with colossal burgers and inventive toppings, which helped earn it a feature on Rachael Ray. The buffalo blue cheese chicken burger ($10) pits the tanginess of buffalo sauce and blue cheese against one another on a stage made of chicken. Lemon aioli and a pistachio crust envelop a lamb burger ($12) with savory flavor additions. Veggie options include a portabella burger ($8) topped with goat cheese and caramelized onions, and classicists are sure to enjoy the classic cheeseburger ($6) with a side of hand-cut fries ($3). A host of classic milkshakes ($5) complement meaty marathons (this Groupon is not valid for PYT’s adult shakes, which contain alcohol).
