Amazing massage next to the park!!

by Vintager at Citysearch

I usually don't write much of reviews but I would feel a shame if I don't do for this new (amazing)spa!!I became a fan of this place after my first massage with Kan. This place has a high level of customer service comparing to the prices-- they are really CHEAP!! (yeah!, finally there is a place next to my apt that is good and not rip my wallet). Once I arrive the staff assists me to seat and servers a cup of ginger tea (..good choice for winter) and hot aroma towel while I was waiting before my treatment starts. I have been there a few times now for massage and will continue going there if they are keeping their great values- the first time their I just wanted to try them if they were good since I've been travelling to Thailand quite often and would usually know if a place is the "real thing". Surprisingly, my therapist "Kan" was really experienced and totally worth the money. Coincidentally, she used to work in the Thai Privilege Spa in SoHo where I used to be a client before they closed their doors without informing their clients (I was one of the unfortunates who already prepaid for a package and did not have chance to use it - they really suck!). Recently, I decided to buy 2 spa packages for an Xmas's gift for my parents and told lots of my friends about this place!!

• Pros: Affordable, Great services
• Cons: noise from the salon, shower??

The miracle of acupunture

by Blue rose at Citysearch

I’ve suffered with knee pain for more years than I can count. Yet, despite surgery and physical therapy, the most I got was temporary relief from various pain medications that began to eat away at the lining of my stomach because I was practically eating it like candy.

One day while I was getting my nails done at the Thai NY Spa in Astoria, the nail technician was telling me about some of the other services offered there. She happened to mention that the acupuncturist there treated her for knee pain she’d had for years and that after a few treatments the pain was gone. This piqued my interest and she invited the acupuncturist over so he could answer some of the questions I had that she didn’t know. As a matter of fact, after a while he put me at such ease that I was beginning to seriously consider giving it a try. It was one of the best decisions I ever made. He lived up to his promise to be very gentle and not cause me more pain.

After the first treatment, there was a noticeable difference in the way my knees felt – it wasn’t perfect, but they felt better than they had in years. So good in fact, that I came back to have 3 more treatments. I haven’t had a treatment in 4 weeks now, but I am virtually pain free and able to do things without thinking about my knees, like standing from the seated position and walking for extended periods of time, things I couldn’t do before.

So, if you’re sick and tired of being sick and tired (feeling more energy was an unexpected bonus), get past your fear of needles, if you have one, and give acupuncture a try. The only thing you have to lose is your pain. Highly recommended.

Wow, awesome Thai massages in Astoria!

by macluv212 at Citysearch

I have been wanting to try a Thai massage for years, and finally got the chance when Thai NY Spa opened right in my neighborhood in Queens. (Yay!)

Let me say it was so worth it and very affordable. I had my nails done after the massage. The staff is friendly and the spa itself is charming, clean and so relaxing. A big plus!! You can tell they enjoy taking care of their customers.

I sent a few of my friends over and they fell in love as well.

We're planning on going back as a group real soon!

• Pros: Friendly, relaxing, affordable, attentive
