I've had a lot of massages and reflexology at all kinds of places across New York, including…read moreManhattan, and while their full-body massage is decent, the reflexology is where this place really shines.
The best service, hands down, is the $65 foot and leg combo with scalp massage, which lasts about 80 minutes and includes much more than the name suggests.
It starts with your feet soaking in warm water in a lined basin with textured acupressure bumps on the bottom, which already helps you start to relax. While your feet soak, they give you a neck and upper back massage. Then you move into a reclining chair, where they work from the knees all the way down through the toes. They finish the leg and foot portion with hot stones, then move into scalp, neck, upper back, and face massage. The whole treatment feels far more comprehensive than you'd expect, and it's better than many full-body massages I've had elsewhere.
This is a no-frills spot, not a luxury spa, but the treatment itself is fantastic. If you're cold, they'll give you heated wraps and towels, which makes the whole experience even more relaxing. The music is soft piano with bird song, which is nice, but it can get repetitive, so you may want to bring your own music and headphones instead.
One tip: wear pants you can easily push up past your knees.
Bottom line: not fancy, but incredibly effective, relaxing, and worth every penny. I leave feeling better every time, and that $65 combo for about 1 hour and 20 minutes is a steal.
