160 Foot Spa — Attraction in New York

Stopped by last night 7pm before dinner. I suggest call and make an appointment, few patrons walked in after and was told an hour wait. Me and my wife have been here a few times and my wife was hesitant to try again because she can't handle the pressure. This time she drew a guy and later found out he is the boss for the place. Was told the boss don't really do massage anymore. Maybe it was a busy time but who knows. His pressure is perfect for her and my guy (Owen) has strong hand. I had to tell him few times to easy on some muscles. FYI, for first timer they massage your lower half of your leg (below the knee cap). We both enjoyed our massage and you can tell they work hard.

Massage was $20/hr which was double than what I used to paid the last time we were here. Still at this price point and the service it is still worth it to me. We both tip $20 each and they really appreciate it. To me it doesn't matter if the price were $20, $50, $100 or $150 (been to other places with different price structure). I personally always tip $20 (15 if the massage is mediocre) no matter if it's a full body massage or a foot massage. Tipping $4 (20%) is unacceptable, you will be surprise how many people say "I paid 20% which is 5% more than I paid at a restaurant". how could someone think a full hour of hard work is only worth a few bucks. Smh.

My tipping method is certainly different compare to a restaurant, my masseuse provide service to me and only me within the hour where else the waiter cater few other tables.

P.S. They accept...

Best foot massage that may have you limping for a minute and then reborn. Everyone is great but Andy has been my recent go-to because he gets rid of my plantar fasciitis every time. Back massage is a hit or miss, depending on who you get, but mostly a hit. Today I got Judy and she was a total hit. One of the best back massages I got. Not sure where they find all these amazing massage technicians. Gets very busy, so call in advance. If this place ever closed down, my life would be a mess.

Oh and people really need to stop whining about the $15 tip minimum. These folks work so hard - way harder than folks at bougie spas - and their prices are already crazy low for the quality you get. A 20% tip on 1hr foot massage ($25) or back massage ($40)? That’s $5 or $8 for an hour of intense, skilled labor. You tip that much for a fancy coffee. Respect the work...

The price you see advertised outside is definitely the lowest you would see anywhere... So even if you add the "mandatory" minimum tip of $15/hour on their services it would still be way lower than most places. The therapists that worked on my husband and myself today were so amazing. We have not had a massage way before Covid started so our muscles are as taut as they could be. The ladies worked tirelessly on the knots. Many times I had to ask her to stop because i was hurting (not her fault, just my body having too many aches) but she didn't relent, instead she adjusted the pressure so that she could continue working on them. "It's OK, it's OK" she kept assuring me as she kneaded the pain away. We did not have the time to get or foot massages this time, but I'm sure we will...
