There’s no shortage of spots in Berks to share a wonderful time with a loved one if you take the time to consider all the area has to offer. Here are a few to consider…
1. Say “Yes” to a Speakeasy.
Venture to the new “A Light in the Attic Modern Speakeasy” for some delightful dishes and creative cocktails. The West Reading spot on the second floor of 719 Penn Avenue is already a hit with visitors. Says one, “The food and drink menus are unbelievable; one-of-a-kind cocktails and a fusion menu that is mouthwatering. This is truly a hidden gem and a MUST!” facebook.com/profile.php?id=100095503929631
2. Soak up a Salty Atmosphere.
Who doesn’t love a bit of relaxation? Head to Best-of-Berks winner The Salt Lounge in Wyomissing for some halotherapy, a widely used natural remedy that dates back several centuries. Kick back in a zero-gravity lounger surrounded by Himalayan Salt air and listening to nature sounds or whatever tunes you bring with you, for a 45-minute session. You can even pair it with a couples massage. thesaltlounge.net
3. For the Auto Enthusiast.
Head to the Boyertown Museum of Historic Vehicles and explore Pennsylvania’s transportation history in the form of horse-drawn pieces, gasoline and electric vehicles, as well as safety bicycles, vehicle builder’s tools, historic roadside architecture and more. boyertownmuseum.org
