This place I tried today. Probably shouldn’t have, I should’ve went to the place I normally go to in the city on 26th in between 7th & 6th Ave. They were extremely loud you could hear them burping, coughing, spitting in sink. Just nasty! They don’t have rooms they just have space wall dividers so you can hear everything. They don’t ask you upfront the pressure massage you want you have to tell them midway in.

Absolutely the worst kind of behavior, massage itself was rushed and poorly done. AVOID THIS...

Superior deep-tissue massage. Ask for Lisa. She is highly skilled and knowledgeable about the muscular anatomy. There were a few outstanding points to this session. Here’s why:

First, the table is heated. During the session Lisa uses a variety of techniques: walking on back, oil and massage, pressure points and hot stones. She hits the muscle from all angles and finds every knot - visiting all major muscle groups twice.

Truly therapeutic and relaxing. A 1 hour session is affordable ~$50 and she earns a healthy tip. Compelled to write an outstanding review purely based on my own...
