The male massage therapist.

A real challenge for the sensitive massage lovers among us. Girls get a bit squeamish. Guys even more so. (The straight ones, anyway.)

Time to get over it, because Gregory Krashenny is too good to miss out on. New York’s latest insider secret, he’s an unassuming gentle-giant type who, quite simply, gives the best rub-down in town.

First of all, he will put you at ease with his friendly (no, not too friendly) and respectful manner. Better yet, the man knows from massage. Based at the Susan Ciminelli Day Spa in Bergdorf Goodman, he can work the kinks out of even the most tightly wound body. His forte? Anything you like: hot-stone massage, Swedish, deep tissue, lymphatic drainage, prenatal … You name it. Krashenny began his trade with the Russian Olympic team, then worked at a private hospital and a private health club, so he’s got experience with all sorts of tough customers.

Yes, even ones like you.
