Parents: Between work, kids and all the other commitments you’ve got going on, it can be tough to take some time for yourself. But for those evenings or weekend afternoons when the kids are at basketball practice, spending the day with friends or staying at the grandparents, we’re here to help. 

Each week, Sharon Patch will tell you about one great idea to give you a well deserved break—whether it’s a fun night out, a wine tasting or a quiet way to spend an hour. 

Here’s what we have for today:

If your muscles are really tight, Grateful Massage & Wellness on Gabriel Road offers appointments seven days a week. Nationally certified therapeutic massage and bodywork professional Jonathan Goldberg's clinic offers Tui-Na and reflexology, as well as light-touch therapies of Zero Balancing, Cranial Sacral and Polarity therapy.

If your idea of getting away is dinner for two with nice atmosphere, try the Assorti Restaurant on South Main Street. Featuring all types of European cuisine, the Assorti offers seafood, fish, beef, chicken and pork dishes.
