Just Calm Down Spa
32 West 22nd St.
New York, NY 10010
(212) 337-0032
Why it's great: The luxury of getting a pedicure inside a quaint and semi-private Moroccan tent makes this the perfect respite for best friends or lovers seeking to spend a little “we” time. And if soaking your feet in fresh ginger or ambrosia isn’t enough to make you kick up those heels, then the to-die-for back and body massages from magic finger masseuses Claire and Mya are guaranteed to turn you into a Just Calm Down junkie. Worth every penny!

Juvenex
25 West 32nd St.
New York, NY 10001
(646) 733-1330
Why it's great: Located in the heart of Koreatown, Juvenex is not your average day spa. First, it’s open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Second, it becomes unisex after 7 p.m., so your honey can get in on the act (but no happy endings at this spot). Third, you are loaded with so many mandatory extras—a shower, a hot sauna, a steam and a ginseng- or lemon-soaked bath—before you get your Japanese-, Korean- and Swedish-fusion massage or body scrub that you become delirious with delight. It is truly the experience of a lifetime that can happen during your lunch hour (and a half).
