As winter turns to spring, it’s time to try
something new. One of our reporters tried
out Sensory Deprivation Float Therapy at
SacredWaters Wellness Center, which houses
the only spa of this kind in the borough. Read
about her experience to pique your curiosity
(page 16). Spice up your playlists with some
new music, courtesy of a few local bands (page
32). Sample some wine at Basil Brick Oven
Pizza’s new wine bar (page 38). And try your
hand at improv with a local women’s group
(page 50).
