Healing Sound

Slip into a state of deep relaxation at Northport’s Kundalini Yoga.

Freshen Up

Gold Coast Barbers in Syosset elevates the buzz-cut experience. Consider dropping by for a beard clean up, like a hot towel shave, that’ll help you start the year fresh. Or, drop in for the hangover treatment (a hot towel treatment, followed by a mini facial and cold towel) that’ll help kick-start your detox. Prices vary.

Hang Around

Flip upside down and stretch your limbs using the hammocks during an antigravity fitness class called Family Fly at Emerge Yoga & Wellness in Massapequa. At 10:45 a.m. each Saturday, families with children ages 6 and older can experience a 60-minute session at a cost of $17 per child and $23 per adult.

Spice Things Up

Getting the kids cooking in the kitchen with you may encourage them to eat more healthfully. At A La Carte Cooking School in Lynbrook, a Grown Ups and Kids class, for instance, teaches a parent/child duo to make mixed garden greens with apples, dried cranberries and cider vinaigrette, Brazilian baked bananas, spaghetti and meatballs and phyllo triangles with rosemary, cheese and prosciutto filling; $120 for two.

Located at 32 Atlantic Ave.; 516-599-2922.

Get Salty

Salt caves are touted as being good for helping heal skin and respiratory conditions — but regardless of possible medical benefits, it can be relaxing to unwind in a soothing room filled with salt. Kids 12 and older can enter the group adult sessions at Healing Grotto in Bellmore, which costs $45 for 45 minutes, or, if accompanied by a parent, $75 for both people. Kids younger than 12 can try a session in a private booth, $40 for 25 minutes, or $65 if an adult enters as well.

Zen Out

Children’s meditation classes help children develop peaceful minds; the Kadampa Meditation Center Long Island in Huntington offers $5 classes for children ages 6 to 12 each Sunday, from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. An adult must remain on the premises, but why not experience some grown-up peace at the same time? Adults can take a simultaneous but separate class for $15. Kadampa’s Port Jefferson branch also offers free meditation for children 8 to 13 from 10 to 10:45 a.m. on specific Saturdays at the Port Jefferson Library, with registration done through the library.

Shoot, Score, Sip

Sometimes, adults forget that playing is not just fun, it’s healthy. Simplay is a 15,000 square-foot indoor facility that gives us reasons to move, such as carnival games and zombie dodgeball and a sport simulator that involves real throwing. Simulated golf is available too, but should the desire for a drink top that, there’s a lounge with a full bar and beer on tap. Simulators run on a $55-per-hour rate, but that can include you, plus four more people. If you’d like to play in private, pay $75 an hour to move your crew into a VIP room that can handle 10 guests.

Located at 180 Commerce Dr., Hauppauge; 631-617-6363.

Curl Away

And now for something completely different: curling. The sport takes place on ice, yet is not a skating sport, and is considered one almost anyone can try. The Long Island Curling Club has winter leagues on Saturdays and Sundays which run until March — but anyone can join at any time. There are spring, summer and fall seasons as well. People with no experience can get a crash course and then start playing — in fact, new curlers (as in complete novices) are welcome; call ahead for current league prices.

Events held at the Long Island Sports Hub; 165 Eileen Way, Syosset; licurling@gmail.com.

Stretch It Out

Like meditation, yoga offers time for introspection, but it also involves exercise, providing an excellent way to inject some health into one’s life. Just Breathe offers classes like Yoga Nidra — which involves guided meditation and restorative poses — and Yin, which entails long-held poses that target the body’s lower half (with the use of props for support). Guests can take part in a “sound bath” too, which involves crystal singing bowls and is said to knock out stress and clear the mind. Drop-in classes start at $19; look for new student specials on multiple class packages; call about unlimited yoga packages.

Refine Your Skills

So many of us will resolve to eat better in the new year, and a great way to dump junk food is to cook for ourselves. The Cook’s Studio offers classes — generally $75 and two hours in length — which also happen to include wine tastings, should you need more reasons to give it a whirl. You’ll work in teams of two (giving friends and couples a chance to work together). All skill levels are OK.

Located at 156A Engineers Drive, Hicksville; 516-439-1355.

Craft It Up

Over in Babylon Village, the Bubble brand is well-known for its incredible toy shop that offers several crafting options for kids — but around the corner, Bubble East is all about adults and teens trying their luck at working with their hands. The calendar is loaded with classes. Advance registration required and can be done online, on the phone or in-store.

Taste It

Events like these are not hard to find as both breweries and beer-minded bars tend to hold quite a few. Long Ireland Beer Co. is set to host its annual North Fork Chocolate and Beer Tasting (1 to 5 p.m. Feb. 8), during which the North Fork Chocolate Co. will provide specialty chocolates to be rightfully matched with suggested Long Ireland beers (reservations not required).

Rock On

Always one of Long Island’s more interesting places to patronize, the Vanderbilt Mansion is hosting an upcoming Valentine Dinner (Saturday, Feb. 8; seatings at 6 p.m., 8 p.m.: $150, $135 for members) that will include passed hors d’oeuvres, desserts, coffee, wine, beer and a mansion tour, and a Comedy Night (8 p.m. Friday, Feb. 8: $25 in advance, $30 at the door; $20 for members) in the mansion’s carriage hour; wine will be available.

Blondie Bars

Chocolate lovers who can’t decide among dark, milk or white can thank Danna Abrams for her Solomonic decision to stud her blondies with all three kinds. The oversized bars are just one of the many mega-chocolate treats at Hometown Bake Shop, once the exclusive province of Centerport, now also in Patchogue.

Located at 16 Havens Ave., Patchogue; 631-654-1102 and 2 Little Neck Rd., Centerport; 631-754-7437.

Sweet Scoop

Is there a greater expression of chocolate than gelato? More intense than ice cream, the Italian confection requires only a small serving to satisfy — though a large serving satisfies even more. Dolce, Long Island’s newest gelateria, does a fine job with chocolate, (as well as pistachio, fig-honey, rainbow cookie, etc.). Eat in, take out and don’t forget: you can have your gelato inside a brioche.

Located at 220 Franklin Ave., Franklin Square; 516-673-4994.

Malted Sips

If you limit your consumption of chocolate malteds to warm weather, you are sacrificing more than six months per year of chocolatey bliss. The Hicksville Sweet Shop makes its own ice cream and chocolate syrup. Sidle up to the counter at this classic luncheonette and help the waitresses with the jumble while you sip.

Located at 75 Broadway, Hicksville; 516-931-0130.

Candy Creations

COCO Confections & Coffee’s creations are almost too beautiful to eat. Almost. The hand-painted candies and artisanal truffles at this newish shop in Sea Cliff might be glorious to look at, but they’re no less delicious than its top-selling Nutella bonbons or almond buttercrunch. Some candies are made in-house, others by great chocolatiers near (Brooklyn’s JoMart) and far — and all are winners.

Located at 365 Glen Cove Ave., Sea Cliff; 516-277-2657.

Cocoa Slice

This humble-looking storefront opened earlier this fall, but the talent behind it is outsized: Baker/owner of Butter Crust Bakery Shanaka Perera has baked around the world, from Sri Lanka to Germany to France. He is fussy about his ingredients, from Valrhona chocolate to Kerrygold butter, and his chocolate ganache cake (a specialty) reflects this care with moody depths of luscious, creamy cocoa. It comes in both micro and macro forms.

Located at 36 Laurel Road, East Northport; 631-651-8899.

Bite-sized Bliss

I always keep dark chocolate in my desk for a late-afternoon pick-me-up, usually chased with sips of hot peppermint tea. Despite the stacks of artisanal and single-origin chocolate that abound in a food writer’s life, it is these foil-wrapped morsels of heaven from Dove that I keep coming back to. They are just dark enough (meaning, barely sweet) and quite literally melt in your mouth. One or two, and I’m set. Find them at just about every major retailer — but look for the bag with the red stripe, because the blue ones will try to kill you with sugar. (Milk chocolate is my nemesis). Dove’s Silky Smooth Promises, roughly $5 for a bag of 28.

Boomers

“I Love Lucy” (Hulu, CBS All Access) The adventures of a wacky redhead (Lucille Ball), her bemused Cuban-bandleader husband (Desi Arnaz) and their landlords/pals Fred (William Frawley) and Ethel (Vivian Vance) Mertz are still a riot nearly 70 years after they first aired.

“Father Knows Best” (Hulu) Today’s parents might learn some compelling life lessons from Robert Young’s Jim Anderson.

“The Andy Griffith Show” (Netflix, Amazon Prime) This homespun sitcom set in the small southern town of Mayberry focused on a folksy sheriff (Griffith) raising his young son Opie (Ronnie — as he was known then — Howard).

“The Dick Van Dyke Show” (Hulu) Sophisticated, classy and well-written: This sitcom balanced the home life of Rob Petrie (Van Dyke) and his wife Laura (Mary Tyler Moore) with his work life as a writer at a TV comedy show.

“The Mary Tyler Moore Show” (Hulu) This is one of TV’s greatest ensemble casts, led by Moore as Mary Richards, a proudly single woman with a career. Hard to believe, but such a concept was groundbreaking for TV in 1970.

“The Brady Bunch” (Hulu, CBS All Access) Here’s the story of TV’s most famous blended family. Watch for those groovy ’70s taste-free touches: oversized perms, shag carpeting, avocado-colored refrigerators, Huckapoo shirts.

“The Wonder Years” (Hulu) The first blast of baby-boom nostalgia: Neal Marlens, the show’s LI-raised creator, mined his own experiences in the late ’60s to recall his adolescence with bittersweet affection.

Gen X

“Twin Peaks” (Hulu) Turn on the series with a cultlike following to head back to Twin Peaks with FBI Agent Dale Cooper.

“Seinfeld” (Hulu) The show about nothing — not that there’s anything wrong with that.

“The Simpsons” (Disney +, Hulu) Maybe you won’t get through all 30-plus seasons that are available for streaming, but head back to the beginning for a nostalgia trip.

“The X-Files” (Hulu) Two FBI agents join forces to solve paranormal cases known as the X-Files.

“My So-Called Life” (ABC On-Demand) You never really outgrow a good teen drama.

“Friends” (Netflix) Binge the one about Ross, Rachel, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Monica — which stretches generations — before it leaves Netflix.

“Family Matters” (Hulu) One word: Urkel.

Millennials

“The O.C.” (Hulu) Let the Cohen, Cooper and Nichol families collide all over again in the elite Newport Beach.

“Buffy the Vampire Slayer” (Hulu) Help Buffy Summers (Sarah Michelle Gellar) fight off the paranormal.

“Veronica Mars” (Hulu) With P.I. Veronica Mars in town, there’s not much you can keep under wraps.

“The Office” (Netflix) In the hands of great writers and a brilliant cast, even day-to-day drudgery at a Scranton paper company can seem hysterically funny.

“Parks and Recreation” (Netflix, Hulu) Sure it’s a funny and incisive show about civil servants (and others) in a small Indiana town, but it’s also highly amusing to see Chris Pratt as a doughy, dopey supporting character, offering no hint of the Hollywood hunk he’d become.

“Zenon: Girl of the 21st Century” (Disney +) Start with this 1999 Disney Channel TV-movie about a teen who lives in a space station and continue your binge with “Zenon: The Zequel” (2001) and “Zenon: Z3” (2004). Oh, and it stars a young Raven-Symoné.

Bonus: “Aladdin” (Disney +) Though not a series, you’ll get sucked in along a path of old Disney classics. Revisit the 1992 original on Disney’s new streaming service and use your three wishes to ask for time to watch more movies. Before you know it, you’ll be making an afternoon out of it as you hop to “Beauty and the Beast,” “Pocahontas,” “The Little Mermaid” and more.

Gen Z

“Hannah Montana” (Disney +) You get the best of both worlds when you look back on a young Miley Cyrus who was doubling as a teen pop star.

“Sam & Cat” (Netflix) Remember when Ariana Grande had stark red hair and starred in a Nickelodeon series alongside “iCarly” actress Jennette McCurdy?

“The Suite Life on Deck” (Disney +) About a decade before “Riverdale,” Cole Sprouse was hanging out on the S.S. Tipton with his twin brother, Brenda Song, Debby Ryan and Phill Lewis.

“Gravity Falls” (Hulu, Disney +) This is the story of what happens when twins Dipper and Mabel Pines summer with their great-uncle.
