NYC 29th street / 6th ave concentration

[+ Tarte Gogo]

It seems many of the spas are now concentrating within 3 blocks of this spot in NYC.  See image below, each yellow star is a male massage spa. I wish they would spread out, some nearer grand central, some further up, or further south. 
 

They are stepping on each other’s toes, can’t be good

May be a zoning issue involved.

Isn't this the area they call Koreatown or K-Town?

Yes! It centers mainly along 32nd Street between 5th and 6th Avenues but has expanded, with Korean businesses, restaurants, and shops now found on nearby blocks, including 29th Street.

Is it fair to say that there are owners who own multiple spas?

Not quite Patpong Road, Bangkok!

That brings back memories ...

29th Street brings back memories for me--I used to live on it between 8th and 9th Aves. Yes, it was a conveniently short walk from the old Everard Baths on 28th.

We may have been "neighbors"....I lived on 30th between 8th and 9th for years and years.  (Albeit quite a LONG time ago.  LOL!)

We probably weren't neighbors, unless it was a really long time ago--I lived there from 1968 to 1970.
