Great Escape - A Treat for Valentine's Day

Each week, we'll tell you about one great idea to give you a much deserved break, and make your life a little easier, maybe a whole lot easier.

There are signs of  Valentine’s Day and romance all over North Andover.  You want to to be part of it, and that takes a little planning. Since the holiday falls on a Monday, you have the whole weekend to celebrate.

So first you need to find a sitter; that will determine which night you go out. Next, where to go?  It’s cold outside, and you don’t want the hassle of looking for parking in Boston. Instead, you are searching for that one local romantic place to dine and relax with your honey.

Patch heard that  will be offering Valentine Day specials in addition to its regular menu.  Restaurant General Manager Michael Tynan explained that the specials will be featured on a side panel attached to both lunch and dinner menus.
