“After working on a lot of shows and going crazy here and there, I need to relax and rejuvenate my tired, overworked body. I usually go to Rhemedy by Rhed (230 W 13th St between Greenwich and Seventh Aves, suite 1B; 347-284-0086, rhemedybyrhed.com; mention TONY for 20 percent off any service on Mon and Fri, excluding appointments with owner Judie Rhed Yim, through Sept 30) for a full-body massage (30mins $70, 60mins $120, 75mins $145, 90mins $175), which combines alignment with deep-tissue [techniques] and yoga stretches. It’s a bit different from other spas. I visit Rob Gonzalez; he has a calm personality and lets me enjoy the massage without talking to me.”
