Despite being great for chasing down taxis and getting your ass kicked in a packed elevator line, NYC can sometimes feel like a cutthroat city. So, if you’re looking to knead out all your knots and return to your natural state of equilibrium, there are plenty of serene spas in town that are ready to help. And while some of them will cost you a year’s worth of MetroCards, others are affordable enough to have you kneading out those knots on the regular.
Located inside The Greenwich Hotel, Shibui is one of the best NYC spas with expertise in tons of traditional healing practices and the belief that everything should be kept in balance. Try out their ‘Oxygen Awakening’ facial or the ‘Omakase Ritual’, which is a body treatment combining various elements and techniques.
This low-key spot in Williamsburg might scream gentrification, but it also happens to have some of the best massages in town, with prices that don’t break the bank. A one-hour Swedish massage runs $80 here and they frequently run Groupon deals and packages.
Located in the heart of SoHo, this boutique spa is the perfect place to relax after a day of shopping or exploring. You can get a full range of reasonably priced facials and massages, as well as a variety of other beauty treatments. But, their real draw is their extensive water lounge that offers a cold plunge pool, hot tubs, a sauna and more.
