Ummmm who’s Luigi? Anyone try him. Wow.

Agree. Would love to know more about Oscar.

Went recently on a Saturday while in the area. The facility itself is kind of a dump tbh but not the worst. The crowd was a mixed bag of older guys and a few younger guys. I actually found it relaxing and def had a fun time. If you’re nearby I’d recommend a visit (it was pretty inexpensive) but wouldn’t trek out there if it’s not convenient.

Great news!! Would love some recs on who to see there since I imagine many of the previous crew is working elsewhere. Thanks for the intel!

100% on this! I travel frequently for work and my company has no problem paying for an Uber - and I still opt for the LIRR AirTrain option. It’s always a better experience and no risk of traffic on the Van Wyck, which is pretty much a given. If you do that, right near Penn Station (where the LIRR arrives - don’t take a Grand Central train) you have 27 Men’s Spa in walking distance. Search this site for recs on who to request. You can also hike it down to Energy on 23rd. Again search this site for recs on who to request. If you do go to Grand Central vs. Penn Station, there’s Noble Men’s Spa nearby. Search for recs on this site. It is more expensive, though, so might not be the best budget option. Have fun and enjoy.

DirtyHarry - I’m sure 10 things come to mind that he’d rather be doing than massaging you for a $20 tip.

Is it me or does it feel like there’s a bit of a slowdown in great massage options these days. I get it - with the changes at 27 and HK, Paris closing, Seasons changing ownership, etc. things have been a little grey lately. But very desperate to find my new place in the village / Chelsea / EV / WV area. Anyone have any standout experiences lately? Anyone been to the following places and have a review with some names: Why Not, GMan, Seasons, Oasis, Energy Bodywork (on 14th), New Yorker? Trying to break the pattern of the usual and try out some new masseurs. Thanks!

Any recommendations of other places? In the WeHo area. Thank you!!

Ok - aside from their ridiculous website with the mountains out the window 🤣 - anyone have any experience there? Good, bad, indifferent? Any names to mention? Def interested in some newness in the neighborhood!

This speaks for itself. Aside from price if they’re courting parents w kids it ain’t for me.

Pretty sure he’s at Energy on 23rd near 8th. Went there for the first time and was assigned someone named Timmy. Was a younger Asian guy. Nice massage and overall experience. Would recommend.

What happened to Max. He was my go to. Gave the most incredible massage and experience.

Owen is horrible. Zero massage skills.

Same Owen as 28. Def go with Jay!

Thanks so much

Anyone know what’s up with Paris? Saw a few people mention that it closed and I just called and that was confirmed. That’s too bad - had become one of my fav spots recently - especially late night with Maycon. Any intel and nearby alternatives. Loved that they were 24 hours so never had the same time pressure to get there like some other spots. Thanks

Have been to both Terry and Maycon. I’d recommend both. Both massages were skillful and relaxing. Neither of them phone in the massage skills. Left feeling very happy after both. And, for all that’s been said in this forum about the rooms at Paris, I think they’re great. Full privacy with real walls and doors. Comfortable space. Paris has kind of evolved into my go-to - tho always love to explore new places and masseurs.

Ugh. So annoying.

Just looked at the Energy booking page for today. Alvin (who gets a lot of love here) is listed. Then 3 others I’ve not heard about: Bodi Han, Anniel Han, and Leo. Any intel here. Looking for quality - massage and otherwise - but also younger guys. Any help choosing would be much appreciated!

Would love to know as well!

Who did you go to at Seasons? Would love a few details. Feel free to DM if necessary. Thank you!!

Curious about Andy. Is he younger?

Jay’s amazing. Can’t say enough about his massage.

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. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
