Smashburger is coming to Morris County, making its first appearance On Sept. 21 in Florham Park at 187 Columbia Turnpike, with another planned in Morris Plains.

The first Jersey location was in Montclair, which opened to rave reviews and a devoted fan base that’s constantly a-Twitter.

Originally based in Denver, the chain has been crisscrossing the map, and plans to open 500 eateries before the ball drops on 2010.

With so many burger places around – and Five Guys becoming the regular go-to – what’s so different about Smashburger?

Maybe it’s the cooking method. Fresh – never frozen — Certified Angus Beef is smashed on a flat grill to sear in flavor. There’s a variety of toppings and rolls, and the menu moves into a realm of creativity.

There’s the Smashdog, the Taylor, egg, ham and cheese Smashburger, Smashchicken and Smashsalads.

Check out the grand opening on Sept. 21 and let us know what you think. See www.smashburger.com for more information.

In a perfect world, massages would be covered by health insurance and anyone could schedule a session anytime pain, stress and aches got overwhelming.

But this is the real world, and even if a rub-down is just what the doctor ordered, it’s almost always an out-of-pocket expense.

Anyone who’s ever had a full body massage knows it’s practically a cure-all, and it’s an expense worth budgeting every once in a while. A good massage can alleviate back and joint pain, stretch weak muscles, enhance the immune system, reduce spasms … the list goes on and on.

Still. It’s another expense. And who has extra money?

Well, how about this. How about a discounted massage where part of the money benefits the Susan G. Komen for the Cure? Message Envy is hosting Massage for the Cure on Sept. 14. A 50-minute massage is $49, and $15 goes to the Komen Foundation to fight breast cancer.

Get a choice of Swedish, hot stone, trigger point, deep tissue, facial, sports, reflexolgy or Cranial Sacral. There are locations throughout the state and you can sign-up online at www.massageenvy.com.

In Morris County, locations include Chester, Florham Park, Rockaway and Morris Plains.
