PLAY Salsa Dancing at Rockafellas Even frequent patrons are sometime sur- prised to discover that every Wednesday night is salsa night at Rockafellas Restaurant in Salem. From 8:00 pm to 11:30, instructor Greg Coles spends an hour on salsa lessons before opening up the dance floor. Bartender Lindsay Meyer says couples, singles, and people of all ages come to the weekly Latin dance party. 231 ESSEX ST., SALEM, 978-745-2411, ROCKAFELLASOFSALEM.COM Photo Safaris For a look at the North Shore through the lens, join Essex Heritage during their spring and summer photo safaris. Each of the monthly events, held May through August, explores a dif- ferent spot in the Essex Heritage Area; among them this year is Lawrence and the House of the Seven Gables, says Emily Levin, project manager of Essex Herit- age. The series is sponsored by Hunt's Photo and Video and a different camera company dur- ing each event. "You get to try out all this camera gear at really cool places," Levin says.
