Great Escape! A Day at the Spa

This time of year, we’re betting most of you could use a vacation — preferably to somewhere warm, tropical, and not buried under a jillion feet of snow.

For most of us though, a trip to the spa is a little more realistic break from the doldrums of winter.

Lucky for Slope residents, Venelle Salon and Spa on Seventh Avenue and Lincoln Place has a host of great spa specials in honor of Valentine’s Day.

Treat yourself to a mani, pedi and 60-minute facial or massage for $110 (for her) or a 60-minute deep tissue massage and haircut for $105 (for him). The spa is also offering up a few cute couples deals, including side by side Swedish or Deep Tissue massages for $175.

So go ahead, relax, and imagine yourself somewhere that doesn’t require donning 10 layers before heading outdoors.

Editor's Note: Each Friday we'll highlight a cool nearby spot to take a break from the hecticness of the daily grind. Have a suggestion for somewhere we should feature? Drop us a line at kristen.brown@patch.com.
