Dive Package at Bardessono

During the summer, it's no stretch to say: Wednesday is the new Friday—making it the perfect time to drive up for Bardessono's rooftop pool party and stay the night in a Spa Suite, with two drinks on the house and a three-course dinner for two. If only we could do something about those Mondays…
