Why go? Tucked in the first floor of a nondescript building, this low-key, gender-neutral retreat boasts a long line of massage chairs thinly separated by beaded curtains. Who cares if your neighbor is closeby enjoying a foot rub? Once seated at this pampering throne, you’ll be transported by the knot-melting kneading of your feet in a variety of styles and options—Asian BodyWork (a combination of acupressure and Swedish or deep-tissue massage meant to stimulate the body’s own recuperative powers); hot stones (increases circulation and metabolism); and the specialty of the house, foot reflexology, in which pressure on reflex points reduces stress, revitalizes and balances energy, and creates an overall sense of well-being. What sets this place apart from the more traditional spa? The fact that total relaxation can be achieved (and you can be home in time for dinner) within an hour or less. If you need more than just your feet attended to, add on other treatments, such as a full-out-get-undressed (they can also do clothed) body massage in one of the facility’s four treatment rooms. Bonus: This little piece of foot heaven is open seven days a week from 10 am to 9 pm, leaving you plenty of after-work hours to recharge your batteries and get those footsies back on the pavement.
Plan Your Day: 5:30 pm: 60-minute foot reflexology and 60-minute body massage, $88 (for both!)
