Epic is I think the best/furthest uptown. Other than that, there aren't really any options up there.

Has anyone been to 92nd Y? They use to have a sauna but I think it's been closed since COVID. I heard they were renovating it, though.

Went here yesterday and had a fantastic experience. Higher house rate than other spots, but my dude was skilled, thorough, and cute.

Called in tonight, confirmed they have male and female mt available. Rates were cheap and I'm very curious. Any other word on this place?

I'll note I went to SoJo a few months ago which is very much a legitimate establishment. Amazing scrub by a very talented guy who told me to take a cold shower immediately after my time was up. Oops!

Reporting back from a 2nd trip. Called ahead and asked for Peter. Booked 90 minutes. First thing I noticed was that the bed sheets hanging from the ceiling have been replaced with real curtains and I thought, "that's a win!" Host escorted me to the back, and I had a real room. No door, but a big improvement from last time. First guy walked in -not Peter, but it felt fine to start. 45 minutes into it, someone started WRECKING my back. It was definitely a different person than whoever started. By the time I flipped over, it was certainly a different person than I started with, with different hands than whoever messed up my back. Woke up sore the next day. Im happy that whoever is managing is working on improving the space, but this is such a weird way to run a spa.

Went here a few weeks ago and had a similar experience. I did 60 minutes and had no less than 3 masseurs, one of whom I'm sure was a woman. You do get to request male/female masseurs, but they're passing you off while you're facing down so...it's whatever. I didn't notice a smell, it was clean enough despite being overall dingey. If you can get passed all that, the massage itself was pretty decent, and it's a win that I have a spot on the UES. I'm hoping that it improves over time.

Does anyone have a reco for a good table scrub? I usually go to Chelsea MS for a decent one but they only have 1-2 people on staff who are willing to.
