Habaneros Mexican Food
THE BEST middle eastern food in the area! family-owned, great flavor, and good portions. I got the lamb salad plate and it was bomb. this is also located at Fork Forty (an indoor food hall) so that's fun to have other options if you're with a group!

this place is my GO-TO in the winter! A 45-min session in the sauna literally rejuvenates my soul I'm not even kidding. They're reasonably priced too!
Salt Haven | infrared sauna & salt room
fresh produce, seasonal activities (my fav is their Fall Harvestfest!) and yummy treats. love this spot!
E.Z. Orchards Farm Market
There are a couple of Goodwills and St Vinnies in Salem, but I think SuperThrift is my fav! Reasonably priced and always has some gems.
