So I guess I took one for the team and went to M&J today after buying the three 90 minute sessions for $65 on Groupon. After purchasing, I called and made my appointment. About 15 minutes before I arrived, I received a text from them asking to if I could arrive 15 minutes later as they were running behind. It wasn't a big deal for me, so I said yes. The spa is in a typical Manhattan small office building on the 6th floor. Only one of the three elevators was working so there were a lot of people waiting. Upon arrival, it was nicely furnished and clean. One of the owners, Jimmy, immediately took me to the room. It was clean and decent but didn't look as nice as HK or 27's room. Before we started, I told Jimmy that I needed to cut the time down to an hour which he was happy to do. The massage was very therapeutic and Jimmy definitely gave me a great massage with some sensual elements. It ended in the usual fashion and that was pretty good too. (No extras were discussed). Jimmy is Asian and in his 40s/50s and he obviously has been trained in providing different types of massage techniques (Swedish, some shiatsu too). He was very friendly as well and apologized for running late. I did see another Asian guy in his 20s in the waiting room when I was leaving and Jimmy said that usually there's always someone on staff ready for walk-ins but today he was short staffed. It was a different experience from what I'm used to at HK & 27. I would consider going back because I bought the 3, 90 minutes body work package but only if a) I was in the area or b) if 27 or HK couldn't accommodate my schedule. They also have a loyalty program where if you have 5 1 hour massage you get a free 30 minutes one on your next visit. Hope this helps!

We all know why we go to these gay spas (and they know why we go them), if there wouldn't be an "extra service", it'd be odd. I agree with the above poster that 40 dollars is a good tip. I only tipped 100% one time and the masseur was so taken aback that I think it doesn't happen often. But then his service has been exceptional. I wanna go to whomever you’re leaving that 100% tip for!! Jackus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
