Also curious about Max. He was my go to there and excellent. Followed him from the Greenhouse Spa back in the day. Also curious to know about Niell. Never went to him but heard great things and wanted to try. Anyone have any info?
I have to agree. Jay at Batman gives a superb massage. He used to work at Yeah Man (or whatever the place underground on W4th is called) so I remembered him from there years ago. For me, perfect combination of deep and relaxing. Left very pleased. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
If you’re looking for spas - I always like Thai Wellness Studio when I’m in town. Have never had a bad massage there. Been to see Patrick, Alex, Nathan, and Billy. All a great experience. They have pics on the site when you book. Highly recommend.
The East Village location has men’s only hours on Sunday morning - from 9am to 2pm. If you’re looking for more than just a steam, this is the time to go. When I went it was packed and very fun. The staff is on location to keep things from getting out of control but stuff still goes down. The spa itself is a little run down and gross. But it is what it is and one of the only spots in the NYC area of its kind. At 2pm on the dot, the men’s hours end and the spa goes back to a mixed crowd.
In short, the answer is NO. We don’t really have an equivalent of Century here in NYC. It used to be that Spa Castle had some of the elements but in its current incarnation it really doesn’t compare. Keeping an eye on this feed just in case I’m wrong
Just wanted to share my condolences over Ben’s passing. He’s been such a force in the NYC massage scene and - as the popularity of HK and 27 in this forum prove - he set a very high bar for service and experience. Hoping Yura and the team can keep to Ben’s high standards for his spas, staff, and customer experience. RIP Ben! ❤️
It was a fun experience BUT I still feel like a bathhouse situation is best explored on your own. There are a % of guys who will be into you - just the way it goes - and it’s an even lower probability of people who will be into you and your bf (unless your both essentially the same type). But it was still a fun bonding experience for us both.
Agreed. Went there with my bf during Market Days this past weekend and it was on another level. Packed and something for everyone! Not a BH connoisseur or anything (we don't really have em in NYC) but I have to think this place is one of the top spots in the US. Loved it and would def go back.
Was there a few months ago. Had a great time. Went on a Tuesday night, which is college night (all the Berkley boys get a discount). Crowd was younger (which suited me just fine) and it was crowded. I went at about 8pm or so and stayed till after 11. Would def go back.
