The Spa at Mandarin Oriental New York

Holistic palace delivers the royal treatment in every sense (for example, instead of getting treatments, you go on “journeys”). Who knew you were so well suited to pomp and circumstance?

Mario Badescu Skin Care New York

The first and last word in facials. Mile-long list of impressive clientele. Plenty of products to take home (the drying lotion is a lifesaver).

Juvenex New York

Twenty-four-hour party people are welcome at the Korea Town spa that never closes. Last night’s bender is pummeled into the past, then frozen in the jade igloo sauna. If you end up getting the gyno spa cure (check the menu), do report back.
