This city can give your feet a beating. And as if the constant walking weren’t enough, you choose to do it in heels.

Yet, for many, pedicures remain a summertime indulgence. But if those piggies are expected to go to the market year-round, shouldn’t they still be treated to some pampering in the winter months, too?

Lush Essential Hand & Foot Spa is not your normal quick-stop mani/pedi parlor. It’s a relaxing yet stylish oasis for those parts of your body that do most of the work but are somehow only appreciated during flip-flop season. Hand and foot treatments on the menu include Grain of Salt (to soothe the ache), Milky Way Caress (to exfoliate and soften), and the luxurious Satin & Silk (to moisturize and protect).

Think of it as therapy for your neglected doggies.

They might still bark…but with considerably less bite.

Lush Essential Hand & Foot Spa, 98 Thompson Street, between Prince and Spring Streets (212-625-1839).
