Getting a massage can go one of two ways for us at MUS: it can feel good or it can do good. Typically, massages that feel wonderful don't have much long-term benefit [though they may be beneficial to your circulatory and nervous systems]-- and those that elicit more winces than purrs may help heal an injured body. So we list massage separately here for athletes who need help repairing bodies worked too hard in the zealousness of competition. If you're looking to be pampered by sweet smells and a soft caress, we have recommendations for you in the Spa category.

Soho
Soho ("SOuth of HOuston"), formerly home to New York City’s great art scene, has been abandoned by many galleries for more trendy neighborhoods: Chelsea and the Meatpacking District. What remain are reliable restaurants and shops, a great new health club for members, Citibabes, and the Soho Grand Hotel. Whether you want to dress yourself or your home, shopping in Soho can suit you head to toe, or door knob to dining room.
