Had a massage with Aleks yesterday. He was very friendly, with a big smile. He has a nice space in Hell's Kitchen (it is up five flights of stairs, no elevator, just so you're aware). He gives a good, but very general massage on your back for the first half-hour; once you flip over, the massage is pretty minimal. As has been noted in previous comments, the massage ran short by about fifteen minutes. I guess it's a good thing I went on a Tuesday, which is when he offers a 20% discount. I don't feel particularly motivated to see him again. For my money, there are several other masseurs I would rather patronize.
