They're sending out pics of staff?

Go to Crystal in Palisades Park NJ. It's minimal but basically a bathhouse

He has an interesting breathing technique. Wouldn't repeat.

Yeah that's him. Frankly, a waste of time and money. Phil was also sub par. I have written off Batman Spa completely.

Checked it out. Same location as KTown Sauna for those that went. The wet area is totally nude and has one tub, steam room and an area for body scrub. Was quiet when I was there but played with one guy. It looks like they're opening more communal areas but they have your typical nap room and various jjimjilbang. Little pricey but they had a Groupon promo that the front desk lady told me about. There's nothing else like this in Manhattan - at least I don't think there is - so it's a welcome addition in my opinion.

Checking it out tomorrow (Monday). Will give a review after. Anyone want to meet up?

This spa is terrible. Rooms are small and barely private. The entrance shares a wall with the next door hair salon so if you want to stay discreet - good luck with that. The two masseurs I've seen - Allen and Phil - are mediocre at best. Chunky and in my opinion not attractive. Won't be back. There are much better options to consider.

Phil is definitely in his 40s or 50s. Either that or he just looks terribly old for his age. I don't understand the recent talk about him. He's mediocre at best. Weak massage and in my opinion not attractive or worth the visit.

Got Alven or Allen few days ago. Wouldn't repeat him at all, but keep hearing good things about Phil. Has anyone seen him?

Any spas or providers in downtown Manhattan (below Houston) you'd recommend?

I thought Bert was awful. But guess YMMV.

Don't waste time or money at this place. Around the corner is Chelsea Man Spa on 29th/6th. Always have a good experience there.

Speaking of Alpha, it's been a while since I've stopped by there after a few unpleasant visits. But my last visit this week with Angel / Angelo (he's Italian from outside Milan) was exactly what I needed. A different guy with arm tats - Spanish maybe? (didn't get his name) cashed me out and I'm definitely going to stop by again. Looks like they spruced up their roster from the days of Bert. Although I'll always have great memories of Adrian there. Where did he end up? Anyone know?

What spas in particular?

He's not my type but Rodrigo at Chelsea Men Spa is hairy. He's a big guy - beefy and tall. His thighs are massive and he's got hairy arms and legs. Darker skin, maybe Brazilian? Not entirely sure about his ethnicity.

Alright I checked it out. Good location and they're definitely aiming to please here with a memorable body rub, not massage. In fact there is a sign on the massage room wall that says they don't do massages, only body rubs. So it's that kind of place, as expected. Table shower room barely has a door that shuts - very voyeuristic, but definitely not private. There are two tables in there with a curtain separating the two - my imagination ran wild while I was getting mine that another guy was having one done next to me. The massage table doesn't have a hole for your head which I'm not a fan of at all. I didn't use the head rest that was given at all which was a little uncomfortable. My masseur was decent, on the taller side (5'10 or so) and slim, not overly attractive to me. Plenty more details to share privately. I would go back - but I would call ahead and try a different masseur.

Thanks for the tip. I enjoy a new spa opening so I'll check out and report back

Daniel is also great.

Instantly googling "Chris Meloni house"

What does Sebastian look like

What does Michael look like?

Definitely same experience. Not for me.

Can I go without having a membership? They do day passes?

Best locations?

Who is worth seeing here? Already seen Max and Lucas and would rather not repeat. Message me if you want details
