Be sure to arrive early; each treatment includes access to the vitality pool and amethyst crystal steam room. After you’ve had a chance to relax, a staff member appears to guide you to one of six lavish treatment rooms for services, including the signature Digital Wellness Escape and the Jet Lag Cure."

"AIRE Ancient Baths is dedicated to the relaxation of body and mind in which time does not exist. Inspired by the tradition of baths from ancient Roman, Greek and Ottoman civilizations, the AIRE Experience always takes place in restored historical buildings in the center of cities. Taking water as the main element and creating an atmosphere of pure magic and sophistication around it, the AIRE Experience is complemented by a careful selection of massages and exclusive rituals."

"Step back in time at Aire Ancient Baths, a stunning spa that’s designed to resemble an ancient Roman bath house. This mid-range Tribeca hot spot is one of the most beautiful spas in the city; enjoy the softly lit ambiance as you relax in the saltwater whirlpool or progress through a series of heated baths. During the Wine Bath treatment, you can soak in a tub of wine made from Spanish Tempranillo grapes as a masseuse provides a craniofacial massage."

"There’s plenty of places to get a massage in NYC, but not many where you can experience a massage, an ancient thermal bath, and a himalayan salt ritual. The AIRE Ancient Baths, located in the heart of Tribeca, offer a tranquil repose from the city with Roman, Greek, and Ottoman traditions of setting baths at different temperatures. Give you and your love the gift of serenity with any of their combinations of experiences."

"Great Jones Spa – New Yorkers deserve a cool place to relax and unwind, solo or with friends. Great Jones Spa, with our famous Water Lounge and towering three-story indoor waterfall, is a unique destination hotspot, a vibrant gathering place, a lively resort in the city where our guests can engage, talk and enjoy each other’s company. On weekends, the Water Lounge is a hip, stylish hangout for people watching."

"This downtown staple is the perfect place to unwind among the chaos of lower Manhattan. The first thing you’ll notice upon entering the spa is the soothing sound of the three-story indoor waterfall. Pro tip: Bring a book because you’ll want to hang out all day on a lounge chair in the quiet space after you’ve enjoyed the detox water, steam and sauna circuit."

"A fierce fashion-girl following has earned Great Jones Spa hotspot status, but the buzziness doesn’t diminish its oasis feel. In addition to luxurious facials, massages, body scrubs, manicures, and waxing, Great Jones offers a water lounge and sauna, a hair salon, a juice bar and treatments designed to improve energy and reduce stress."

"It might seem over-confident to call a spa “The Spa”, automatically assuming that this particular spa is the one in mind. But when it’s a spa as wonderful as Equinox Hotel’s NYC Spa Hotel, it only seems fair to offer the name. Bringing together everything a brilliant spa should do and more, The Spa is a breathtaking experience with its infrared sauna, marbled surroundings and tailored spa treatments."

"It’s got a celebrity owner (none other than Robert DeNiro), a prime Tribeca location, impeccable design credentials courtesy of one of New York’s top firms, Grayling Design, and some truly obsessive construction, having something to do with thousands of very expensive handmade bricks. Now there’s no question that all these things make for great press, but do they mean anything to the guests?"

"Shibui Spa at the Greenwich Hotel offers customized facials and a wide selection of body treatments. In particular, its Bamboo Glow treatment helps soften, firm and hydrate your skin using a vigorous bamboo and lemongrass scrub. This is followed by a private shower with yuzu sea algae wash."

"If saving money was not one of your resolutions, then dive into this luxe water lounge in the Greenwich Hotel—the $95 baths can only be booked with the purchase of a full-length treatment. But if we have to sign up for a signature massage in order to soak in the seasonal “Winter Bath” filled with raw spicy ginger root (which helps ward off pesky colds), then so be it. 377 Greenwich St.; thegreenwichhotel.com/shibui-spa"

"Located inside a reconstructed Japanese farmhouse in the basement of the Greenwich Hotel, the upscale Shibui Spa is a total treat. It includes a latern-lit swimming pool and lounge, a traditional Japanese bathing room, and a wide variety of massages and facials. If you're feeling invigorated after all that, you can also hit up the fitness studio for private training, yoga, or pilates."

"Greenwich Hotel, 377 Greenwich Street, Greenwichthegreenwichhotel.com/shibui-spa. Treat yourselves to a variety of skincare, massage, and bodywork. If you’re into facials, select the Oxygen Awakening or Vitamin C treatments for an uplifting experience."

"Renew Day Spa is another budget-friendly spa in New York City, they specialize in body and foot reflexology. They focus more on Chinese stimulation and manipulative therapy, named ‘Tui-Na’. It uses fire-cupping, acupuncture, traction, and an aromatic herb burning therapy ‘Moxibustion’."

"This hidden Financial District gem has been steaming weary Wall Streeters in its three-story subterranean Fulton Street facility for 20 years. Finance bros aren’t the only fans: “We have a lot of celebrities,” says owner Dmitry Lerner, who claims Cynthia Nixon and Lindsay Lohan among the clientele. Lerner suggests the Russian treatment called platza ($45), which involves being beaten by a handful of leafy oak branches while you lie in a sauna set to 194 degrees — the hottest temperature allowed by the city Health Department."

"This bathhouse is larger than most of its counterparts, but people here generally tend to keep to themselves—making this spot perfect for when you're just trying to relax. However, the baths can get crowded on the weekends, so reserve one of the lounge areas ahead of time for just $5 per person. General admission is $40/day, and annual admission, should you want to bathe all year round, is $2,000."

"Williamsburg’s Bathhouse is located in a renovated 1930s soda pop factory (very cool) and combines elements of Eastern European bathhouses with non-typical programming targeting athletes and fitness enthusiasts. Its restaurant arm, Bathhouse Kitchen, is attached to the spa and offers some of the best food you can eat in a bathrobe. Seriously: Bathhouse guests are given plush bathrobes of their choice to dine in."

"The warmest seat at Bathhouse is probably in one of its bathing pools, which remain open for limited-capacity use during the pandemic, but the Williamsburg restaurant’s heated and covered patio, which seats 10, is a close second.

"Another ice cream shop in Brooklyn that has created delicious island flavors is Island Pops. Island Pops uses traditional ways to create the best island experience and amazing tropical flavors. The husband-and-wife duo created this Brooklyn ice cream shop to pay tribute to their home country of Trinidad."

"This old-school soda fountain and candy shop, founded decades before most of its hip competitors, doesn’t put on airs or stuff its homemade flavors full of bric-a-brac that would make Ben & Jerry blush. Here, you can find familiar favorites like vanilla, chocolate and strawberry (along with a few other classics like rum raisin, butter pecan and coffee almond chip) served up in metal-footed ice cream dishes and drowned in thick hot fudge, caramel sauce, homemade whipped cream and nuts. The kids will also love the old fashioned register, cast iron swivel stools and retro storefront."

"Restaurants Ice cream parlors Forest Hills. If you want a real trip down memory lane, Eddie's Sweet Shop is just the place to get your sugar rush on. Scooping sundaes for over 100 years, this Forrest Hills staple's been scooping frozen treats for generations."

"No list of New York City ice cream shops would be complete without the inclusion of Eddie’s Sweet Shop, apparently the oldest ice cream parlor in the city. Eddie’s has been open for around one hundred years. Surprisingly, it doesn’t boast about this fact, preferring instead to let its ice cream do the talking."

"Another option is heading to the venues The Bell House or Littlefield in the Gowanus section of Brooklyn. Both of these venues have music, comedy, DJs, and other performances, as well as dancing and drinks. The Gowanus area is easily walkable from Park Slope and is home to hip bars and restaurants. Stop in at the Lavender Lake for a beer on the patio or if you're looking for a more wholesome night, order an ice cream cone (chocolate lovers must order "It Came From the Gowanus") at Ample Hills Creamery's rooftop terrace."

"Eighties-themed dance parties, comedy shows, feature films, NPR-hosted trivia hours, and literary read-offs all go down nightly at The Bell House—a converted 1920s warehouse-turned-bar and live music venue in Gowanus. Pre-show, grab a craft beer from the 26-foot-long oak bar and cozy up to a bistro-style table in the low-lit front lounge. Then come showtime, it’s off to the main room, where the red velvet curtains go up to reveal a commanding stage."

"The Bell House is an awesome bar/venue in a former warehouse in Gowanus where up and coming talent and big names perform. Be sure to check their calendar to see any special seasonal events or what their latest music, special events, or comedy line ups are. This location also has been used to film Netflix comedy specials!"

"The Brooklyn Academy of Music, or “BAM,” is one of the most remarkable artistic establishments in all of New York. Many creative geniuses and influential figures have appeared here. Since its opening in 1861, BAM has set a great tone for this borough as an area of serious cultural value."

"Tip: Besides the one-and-only Broadway Theater, other theaters of interest to many visitors are the famous 1970s disco, Studio 54 and Concert Hall, Carnegie Hall. Broadway Theater District information."

"The unassuming exterior of New York City’s Saint Vartan Armenian Cathedral, one of the best churches in NYC. Tucked away inside the posh AF, New York City neighborhood of Murray Hill is a stunning, 20th-century replica of Armenia’s Saint Hripsime Church, which was originally built in 681 AD. A building that appears as though it belongs in the rolling hills of Armenia and not in the moderately mean streets of Manhattan."

"This is another beautiful Church at the Upper East Side of Manhattan, very close to St. Jean Baptise Church, few blocks away from the Metropolitan Museum of Art. This Church was Jacqueline Kennedy’s home Church. It is still the home church of many families of Upper East Side."
