I hoped that I'd find this place to be surprisingly adequate. It's unassuming, open long days and fairly priced. I was so surprised to get one of the best (if not the best) massages of my life.
I was visiting family in the area and was feeling even more stiff and sore than usual after days of meandering around Manhattan. Spotted this place while killing time one morning and kept a flyer, just in case. I eventually strolled in on a Monday evening, around 6pm. I was greeted straight away, by who turned out to be Peter, and brought into a cubicle.
The place is bare bones with curtains between tables, but was clean and neither too hot nor too cold. I initially asked for a 45 minute massage, but within 30 seconds of him laying his hands on me it was apparent that he knew exactly what he was doing so I extended it to 60.
It was a fantastic massage. Perfect pressure, found all the knots, not painful but enough to make a difference. He used hot stones at one point to make it even more relaxing. Not every masseuse will know where to find all the little spots and triggers that are making life painful, but he did. Also no annoying chatter so I got to relax.

Complete disappointment. I just got up and paid for myself and my husband because this was suppose to be a treat for him for our date night. I even tipped them but I definitely won’t waste my money here again. I figured maybe a smaller establishment would be more attentive but I was...
Read moreIt’s weird cus it seems like the other people in the room were having good massages but the one I got I thought was going to be good I thought for some reason that it may be a different kind of technique from shiatsu but then I realized it was just borderline strange and the masseuse had no idea what she was doing bending my arms and legs in angles that they clearly should not go in. Thankfully I’m limber otherwise I could have walked out of here in a whole mess of pain, not worth the money unless you know who’s good...
