I work in the financial district and decided to give this place a try after walking by one day. You may be hesitant at first-from the outside, it seems cold, unwelcoming, and to be honest, somewhat frightening. However, when you get up to the second floor, the dim candlelight, burning incense, relaxing music, and friendly receptionist will allay all your fears. It's nothing too fancy or frilly. The focus is the massage-the best I've found in New York. Everyone is good (this place seems to mandate that-unlike other places). Jimmy is my favorite, though. If you request it, he can step on you. He does it in a very thoughtful, methodical, and effective way. It always helps to loosen up the very tight muscles in my back. I'm so glad I found this place. It's just what I need after a long, stressful day at work and sitting in front of the computer all day.

Economical, yet AMAZING! I was a little anxious when I first went, but if you can get past the front entrance and dark hallway, the elevator opens up to a nice little place. The receptionists are very welcoming. The place has been accurately described in other reviews with only curtains between the separate massage areas. You can hear noise from other clients and sometimes from staff chatting in the back room. But I dont come here for a spa experience. I come here because they make the permanent knots in my shoulders and upper back go away. You first meet your therapist after you are down to your underwear and under the towel and some can only understand Medium or Hard in reference to the massage pressure. It can be a little painful, sometimes hard to communicate with the therapists, but I always feel better. But dont get frustrated a little patience yields a great reward for an excellent price! If you aren't modest, can be patient and want a terrific massage for your money -this is the no-frills place for you!!!
Pros: Excellent Massage, economical, effective
Cons: Noise from other clients and staff, laguage barrier, very limited space
