Burger Week Bingo
If you've been snoozing, National Burger Day was May 28—but that doesn't mean you can't keep celebrating that delectable marriage of patty and bun. City Weekly Burger Week continues through June 4, with a chance to win prizes for visiting any of the more than 30 participating locations, including Gracie's, Squatters and the newly opened Carnegie's. Just print your official gameboard at cityweekly.net, take it to one of the locations and get a stamp every time you get the restaurant's featured burger; the more stamps, the better your chances to win. That's on top of the fact that once you've enjoyed these amazing treats, you're already a winner.
