The Now

This modern, earthy space definitely has the aesthetics of relaxation down: It's minimally decorated with earth tones, potted plants and sleek wooden furniture, and the stripped-down treatment menu is displayed across one entire wall. It's nice to have a spa that doesn't overwhelm you with choices: aside from their signature massage, you can get four other types specifically for athletes, travelers, expecting mothers and one for general healing. There's also a massage for kids 17 and under, as well as one for head, neck and shoulders, and another for legs and feet. Pretty straightforward. The massages themselves are more rigorous than relaxing: you're jostled and stretched and rubbed, and it all feels good and will do wonders for your muscles, but you're not likely to leave feeling like you've just had a nap. That being said, you just can't beat these prices, which work out to about a dollar a minute. Our suggestion? Go from 5-7 for happy hour, during which you can get a 30-minute neck or foot massage and a glass of wine on the cheap.
