Charlie from TSMS apparently works there now (since mid last week) but he still calls it Grandee.
I am quite confused about this place. 

Very confusing indeed. And strange that the guy who answered my call didn't say anything about name change when I asked if this was New Hero........

I think Grandee is the most recent name for this place. IIRC, it was Manta, then New Hero and now Grandee. Good to know about Charlie though. Thanks.

I don't think they really care what you call it as long as you come in for a massage. You could probably call it Manta and they'd say "Yeah sure, come on in!" 😂

Has anyone been to New Hero Mens Spa W 56th?  They don't have a website anymore. They are open, as I called, and the guy who answered said he did not know why there is no website now. He quoted me $65 for 1 hour, no table shower option, but didn't offer much more info......

BTW, this is their current website: https://www.grandeespa.com/

Oh yes I forgot about it also being called Manta! 🤣

I remember Kenzo and Lazarus from Manta. lol.

How old is Charlie from TSMS/New Hero/Grandee?

Well, this is an interesting thread.  I went to Shangrila last week and saw someone who I was told was Mike. He was 30s I would say and the whole experience was very good.  I’ve had both Rodrigo and Jorge in the past and it wasn’t quite “that” but still I enjoyed the experience along with the table shower afterwards.  So whoever it is (maybe there are two people named Mike there?) I thought it was fine and certainly better than some others I’ve had here and there for twice the price. I will return.

Now having said that… when I arrived, a bit early, there was another shirtless athletic Asian hunky guy that made a fleeting appearance and so was wondering who that is… like an Asian Jorge. Maybe it was a client, but it didn’t look like it.  So any 411 would be appreciated…

The Mike I had was definitely not very attractive and n his 40s. 
They should use different pseudonyms!

@Kody S- it sounds like you had the same Michael that I had experienced.  It was my first time at the new Shangrila location and with Michael. He aimed to please and I had no complaints.

Hi,

The masseur you’re asking about is Ko. I had a massage with him about a month ago. He’s good looking and knows how to give a proper massage. He talked about his previous experiences in luxury hotel spas. However the ending part was somehow limited. (He’s not into being touched)

Alright gentlemen, I am going to NY next weekend and plan to have my first men’s spa experience there. I’m excited. The big question is: “Where and with who?”
 

I know, I know… But this topic has over 4000 replies and I don’t know if the guys I had hoped to see are still around since COVID. 
 

I had wanted to see Andy at W Men Spa, Dylan at Babylon, Ken at TSMS, Chen at Yeah Man after reading the rave reviews.

Does anyone know if they’re still around? Do you have someone you’d recommend more? I’m looking for a hot Asian guy, not so much into twinks. 
 

Any feedback or tips would be appreciated. 
 

Thanks

I would love to see Chen on his knees but it’s been a long time

Dylan at Babylon is gone.  There have been lots of changes at the spas so definitely call ahead and make an appointment so that you get who you want ready and available for you.  You can count on Andy and Chen still being at the spas you've mentioned.  Good Luck!

With 166 pages on spas in New York over the last 3 years, a person like myself going to New York next month is hard put to come up with a top three list of places to go. Could I get some focus on that please?

Top 3 will vary. Experiences vary

I recognize that there will be different opinions. I will be in Manhattan, I like Asians, but that is not a requirement. A good massage by a pleasant looking guy works for me. I don't need attitude or short timer.

I'll just add that I had an excellent massage from Andy at Utopia last week.  I intend to return next week.  Since there has been a lot of confusion over masseurs with the same name, Andy is in his mid-20s, Asian,  About 6 feet, 180.  A good massage, a nice guy who speaks fluent English, and is generous with his body.

[CHall1226]

Anyone know if Yeah Man closed? No one is answering calls or texts

Had a great massage at 27 Spa. 
with Andy today. Asked for a strong Massage and Andy delivered. He has great  massage skills and Techniques, uses his hands, Knees & Elbows, to ease the muscles with just the right amount of pressure. Felt so Relaxed. 
Andy is very Professional and Experienced 
will definitely go back. Thanks Andy.

Any other favorites at Utopia? Thinking of booking a 4 Hand Massage. Would definitely love to meet Andy. Any muscular masseurs work there?

4 hands is a waste to me but to each his own

Which and who would you recommend for just a 2 hand massage then? Looking for fit or muscular masseurs
