They couldn’t afford clean towels before the pandemic. Kind of doubt they did anything with their ventilation system...

Were you looking on the site after midnight? They hide them at that time, then they come back at some point in the morning.

Maybe I’m misinterpreting what you mean by “spa” in quotes, but if you believe that massages need to be above $80/hour then you’re missing out on a lot of good Chinese-owned places that charge $45-55/hour (maybe the employees aren’t officially licensed, but there are a lot that are well-trained).

I saw Nick recently (at 27 Men) and it was a shorter Asian guy. Kind of average looking, average body, not particularly muscular. But his actual massage skills were really good. I would repeat for that.

Has anyone seen Patrick at 27 Men Spa? Saw him on latest schedule. Wonder if he’s the same Patrick that people talked about at Shangrila that does a Thai massage”

Has anyone seen AndyProTouch in NJ? His ad is a little light on info, but seems cute: https://rentmasseur.com/AndyProTouch

I kind of doubt it. The Fabio on Masseur Finder has good massage skills.

Anyone try him? https://www.rentmasseur.com/PaoloNYC

Any recent experiences at TSMS?

Why don’t you just see the masseur again, contacting him through RM like they expect you to, and then give an updated review of both encounters?

Interesting that they have working dry saunas, although they only allow “one party at a time”. Overall facilities seem to be pretty restricted in terms of how many people are allowed in certain places (which makes sense). Seems like at this point it’s better for someone who wants to go with a partner or small group of friends than to meet someone. Also it would be better if they had same-gender hours. Most of the Yelp reviews are by women.

I was thinking Luis when I read this too. Definitely not twinky.

The rate for TSMS went up a little if you plan on bringing exact change. $65 for one hour.

Yeah he’s really cute. I wonder how long his profile has been up in NY. Haven’t seen him before.

It’s been about a year since I’ve gone to that location, but it had those dividers when I was there. More like a typical urinal divider so it doesn’t give you total privacy. And the space is kind of small with showers facing each other. If it’s not overly busy it’s possible to be discreet and see when people are coming in/out.

I think the people in the videos know they’re being recorded. Their faces are covered and the lights are bright. I subscribe to the OF but am just reminded of my experience with Jason, which was mediocre. In the videos sometimes he just lightly rubs people without any pressure, which is annoying. And most of the guys seems to try to finish themselves off.

It’s to cover the glass of wine you get with your service.? Do any of the places have real photos of their therapists? I do wish more posted a schedule with at least the names, like 27 Men Spa does.

No, she actually tried to bait and switch me too. Told me he would be there when I made the appointment. It was so annoying cause I rushed to get there but when I showed up it was just her. She tried to get me to stay but I told her I wanted the guy and left.

A few weeks ago I went to a legit massage place where there was some potential with the guy, but when I tried to go a second time they were down to just one woman. She told me there wasn’t enough business so she had to let him go. Seems like a lot of places are lighter on staff and need the business...

I saw someone else there recently and also noticed none of them were wearing masks, except the guy I saw (though he only covered his mouth).

27 posted their schedule of who’s available: https://www.facebook.com/27menspa/

Yes, the new location. It looked like it was brand new from the outside.

I walked by there in March and saw a sign for a “Chelsea Men Spa”. Was wondering about it. Is the other one definitely closed? I didn’t mind the facilities but masseurs there weren’t very fit. Two of the guys I saw there were on the husky side.

Do you wear a mask even when you’re face down? That seems counter productive? It could blow your air back behind you toward the masseur instead of toward the ground? I understand while walking in and laying face up, but not so much while face down.
