Board-certified physician James A. Coomes leads Advanced Anti-Aging and Weight Loss, so it's no surprise that the clinic has a decidedly medical bent. The medically supervised weight-loss program incorporates everything from hormone balancing and Zerona body sculpting treatment to lab-analysis work. ??Dr. Coomes turns to such technological tools as nonsurgical Pixel laser skin-rejuvenation treatments, which employ lasers to create thousands of tiny perforations in the skin, thereby stimulating a healing process that can erase fine lines and pigmentation problems. Microdermabrasion treatments revive skin texture and diminish light scars via apparatus-assisted exfoliation, and chemical peels employ fruit acid, herbs, and antioxidants to stimulate the release of dead skin cells from bodily exteriors and encourage the production of collagen and novelty hats. The clinic also offers results-orientated medical facials to clients.

Raffi's Restaurant has perfected its menu of classic Italian dishes since its founding in 1989. Dinners kick off with appetizers such as crab cakes in creamy pesto sauce and toasted ravioli. Entrees arrive next, pleasing palates with bites of spicy shrimp diablo, rigatoni in a rich bacon, pea, and cheese carbonara sauce, and chicken saltimbocca topped with capers, mushrooms, and thin slices of egg, cheese, and bacon.

Wines complement each dish, as do cocktails from the Palm Lounge, Raffi's full-service bar. During warmer months, patrons can sample the Palm Lounge's stock of fine cigars on an outdoor patio that overlooks a bubbling fountain. There, they can blow smoke at their least favorite Internet memes while hooked up to the restaurant's complimentary WiFi.

At Gatti Town Family Entertainment Center, it's expected that guests will work up an appetite. After all, playing your way through over 100 nonviolent arcade games, leaping into the air on a bungee trampoline, and bashing your friends in bumper cars is hard work. At the center's stocked buffet, a dozen different kinds of pizza, a salad bar, pasta, and desserts await hungry families. Twelve-foot TV screens provide entertainment as diners chow down on hawaiian pizza, chicken alfredo, or cherry-pie pizza. Gatti Town is also a perfect spot for birthday parties, during which guests of honor and their friends receive access to private rooms and the buffet, as well as hundreds of tickets to use for games and activities.

After 30 years of curating and perfecting recipes, founders Linda and Julie unleashed their culinary powers to create a Roly Poly menu of more than 50 rolls and sandwiches, plus a tempting selection of desserts. Slinging sandwiches for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, the sandwich artisans envelop a variety of inventive ingredients inside warm, floury tortillas, from scrambled eggs to pesto chicken to mustard-splashed tuna. Customized sandwiches may also be rolled to suit various diets, preferences, or carbo-loading competitive mimes.

Bright-colored balls have sent pins crashing at Franklin Bowling Lanes for years. Since then, the bowling center has seen several upgrades, including 20 Brunswick Pro Lanes, which replaced the originals. Optional bumpers pop into action to help young bowlers or adults who learned physics from Wile E. Coyote?s correspondence school.

Crazy Chinese Buffet lives up to its moniker by serving a slew of more than 200 daily buffet options. Mongolian barbecue, fresh sushi, a salad bar, and delicious fruits and desserts are always available. The restaurant keeps its doors open seven days a week.
