Playing the (Ridge)field – City Break

The Bite:
Having commitment issues with the city? Hook up with (at?) the Green Rocks Inn in Ridgefield, CT - a cozy B&B about 60 miles from NYC. It's got flat screen TVs, yoga mats, and iPod docking stations in each room, plus a gratis organic yogurt, muffin, fruit, and fair-trade coffee breakfast (it composts the scraps after and recycles too). GRI's also outfitted its rooms – named Sing, Dance, Live – with organic cotton linens and towels (note: Sing's got a soaking tub for two). After some sleep-spoon time, wander over to nearby Susi Laura Massage Therapy for an organic Sweet Milk and Lavender Bud Facial using Farmaesthetics skin care – it'll freshen up your moisture-starved skin and still keep you faithful to the planet.
Wanna Try: 
NYC to Ridgefield, CT, about a 1 hour and 30 minute drive.

Green Rocks Inn, 415 Danbury Rd., Ridgefield. Map It (203-894-8944). The Sing Room, $150/night. Susi Laura Massage, 20 Prospect St., Ridgefield. Map It (203-438-2900). Sweet Milk and Lavender Bud organic facial, $100/1 hour.

Cocktail Fact

According to a Forbes study, NY ranks second as the best city for singles – San Francisco is number one.

Small Changes Add Up

If 10,000 NY Biters stay a night at a B&B that recycles and composts instead of at a conventional hotel, we'll avert the weight of 1,260 bellboys in waste from entering landfills.

I just wanted to let everyone know how much I adore a massage & facial from Susi Laura Massage. The minute I walk through those door, my shoulders immediate relax and I feel a sense of calm. Not only are the services fantastic but the whole experience can't be beat. I highly recommend getting the Susi Laura Signature Massage!!

Susi gave me the best massage I have ever had. She knew exactly where I needed special attention, and when it was time to move on to other areas. The spa is beautifully done, clean, friendly staff- and a great place to get away from it all for a few hours. I will definitely make the trip back and go back to get more treatments!
