anna to satisfy those temptations to explore new and exciting ways to enjoy NEPA? Lackawanna County extends an invitation to discover “unique” recreation specific to the region this holiday and throughout the season. An entertainment epicenter merging the urban accessibility of exquisite theatre, symphony and dance; with outdoor sport opportunities exemplify why our friends at Lackawanna County Visitors Bureau assure this is, “Where you wanna Winter.”
“There’s always something fun going on,” smiles Susan Estler, Executive Director at Lackawanna County Convention & Visitors Bureau.

Keeping where-to-go ideas surrounding Valentines in mind, a variety of celebrations you’ll find from Friday the 17th’s “Winter in the City” in POSH at The Scranton Club; to Clarks Summit Festival of Ice “Ice, Lights, Broadway”

Scranton Cultural Center at the Masonic Temple’s acoustics lends outstanding tone where you’ll sit enjoying Soul Shakers Winter Blues” Guitarmageddon.” This starting 7:30 p.m. shares a combination of blues and funk with R&B from some of the best performers in the region.
February 18, head from downtown to down the slopes with Montage Mountain Resort situated just 10-15 minutes outside Scranton. Familiar with ways to unwind, it’s the date that finds a fun-filled afternoon of live entertainment and prizes, then as the sunsets and moon rises guests can watch the “Annual Torch Light Parade” down Main Line followed by a “PyroMusical Firework Display” outside the Lodge. Whether considering a collage of day into night times make it ALL good in Lackawanna—”Where you WANNA winter.”

sk anyone enjoying a Barley Creek sit-n-eat about the food; you’ll likely get a response repeat of cHere’s where we go to enjoy some of the best dinner and drink. Head there around 8:01 to 11:01 a.m., you’ll hear some new praise on ways of enjoying early days as The Morning Toast brings on eggs, breakfast cocktails, crepes and so on, and so on! “There was more hours in the day,” explains Stephanie Rath on what’s up at the Creek nowadays that inspired the new morning menu and more.
Benedict Florentine
Calling it, “Not your average breakfast,” she tells of a few favorites like Sweet Fruit Crepes and Benedict Florentine sharing that half price Mimosas and Bloody Marys are available 8 a.m. to 9 a.m. Friday to Sunday for a limited bit. With successfully satisfying morning cravings aside, a suggestion to parkit outside and grab Brewtruck meals on the go she reasons is for, “Those who just don’t want to cook!” BBQ based items include Pulled Pork Sandwiches, Beef Brisket and Chicken Salad Wraps, along with sides like Beef Chili, Mac-n-cheese, even Beer Cheese Soup. Familiar
with the need to feed the family; packages with 2 lbs of Pulled Pork or Beef Brisket, 2 large sides, 4 pieces of corn bread and 10 slider rolls really hits a home...run! And let us not forget Barley’s new Distillery started last fall. That seems to bring it all to the Tannersville destination. With a mix of live entertainment, all day menu munchies and unique drink options what more? Sure...we’ll share some ingredients making The Morning Toast menu enticing. But let’s consider obliging with online additions of menus from each?

Set to go out in the snow? Let’s face the facts, as area professionals in-the-know are ready to share the how and why pre-snow track preparation can enhance the situation before...during... and after activities. Fitness aficionados Phoenix Athletica’s Bob and Lindsay Larsen are familiar with more than a few facts as the Pocono Summit facility finds where it’s at, poised for opportune accessibility. Surrounded by tons of mountainous fun, from skiing and snowboarding, to snowtubing the Certified Personal Trainers and Exercise Specialists figure in factors to help with enjoyment outdoors. “Prepping the body is key,” Lindsay says, suggesting, “Concentrating on Core Strength, Balance Work and Back Exercises to warm-up in advance.”
Did you know a foot ache can make you lean to one side? Calling postural imbalances within muscle groups of the body a, “Recipe for injury,” Bob considers personal training a “resource” with individualized attention. Using Corrective Exercise trigger point techniques, the Performance Enhancement Specialist sets things straight noting, “We’re the bridge between fitness and rehabilitation.”
It is about time! The pair shares where this fitness facility excels, telling how often time takes its toll when trying to reach a fitness goal. Squashing any undue setback, they note ways to keep clients on track with in-home and even online interaction! “It’s important to keep it [fitness training] going,” states Bob noting weekly sessions that include homework after. With a National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire required at registration, and physician interaction if needed, Phoenix pros proceed with each client’s need in mind.
Ready Set Go Find Phoenix Athletica on the rise at 2564 Route 940 in Pocono Summit For more call 570.243.8880 Or visit PhoenixAthletica.com
