Being that I am a light skinned Indian, have some olive in my skin tone, it is difficult to find a center that knows how to treat my skin. I was told by the lady that does my facials, her name is Mammie and she has a wonderful place, that their is a specific laser for these treatments. She referred Gentle Touch, which was the first place I called. My consultation was great, very informative about the laser types, how I should treat my skin and when I would come in.
I waited a few months before I actually came back, school tuition comes first, but I did decide to go with Gentle Touch. This was about 6 months ago and I have done around 4 treatments on my face. So far the hair is no where to be found. I didn't have a lot to begin with but it was not nice to look at anyway. My treatments were very thorough, I felt super comfortable and they have a clean center. If you are looking for laser and are of the same skin color as me or not, I recommend Gentle Touch.
Pros: Can treat dark skin types

I have been going to Agave for years. The food is always consistent as is the service. I have never had a bad meal there. I recently took my mom there for brunch when she was in town, she loved it...she even had a couple of frozen margaritas so she was feeling pretty good and it made her visit that much more bearable.
Pros: Brunch, lunch, dinner, drinks...all of it!

Timothy John's Salon in Midtown has to be one of the places in NYC that I would die without. I have a crazy schedule, but TJ's always fits me in. It may be with a different stylist each time, but the outcome is always amazing. I have never felt more comfortable going to a salon in all my life. Timothy amazing, and it has worn off on all the other stylists there.
Pros: Price, Location, Style
Cons: can be busy

Had my Birthday Party at Katra on Dec. 12/'09. Thanks to Chris the owner and an amazing and friendly staff, it was one of the best Birthdays I've ever had! The staff is attentive and professional and Chris does a very good job of making you feel welcome and appreciated. I've frequented Katra often and I keep returning because I feel at home and relaxed when I'm there and there's always a fun time to be had.
I highly recommend Katra to anyone who wants to have any kind of party or event in a relaxed and fun atmosphere where everything you need is taken care of and you're guaranteed to have a great time. The music is great, the food is amazing and the service is top notch.
Dohn Solis.
Pros: Great staff and great service.
Cons: None.

Getting facials is part of my beauty care routine. I've been getting facials since I was 20, it's a "must have" for me. I'm a slave to the sun...just love soaking up those rays and I grab every opportunity to lay out. I've pretty much overexposed my skin throughout my teenage years and have definitely done a ton of damage. As I was getting older I could start seeing the effects. My best friend goes to Lia Schorr Day Spa every six weeks for microdermabrasion and oxygen treatments and it's so impressive how she looks ten years younger! Stunning! I'm so jealous ;) I decided to take a break from the sun and experience the real world of facials. I am so happy I did and am extremely grateful to the wonderful owner and lovely staff at Lia Schorr. They were professional, warm, inviting and really made me feel so comfortable. Here's the best part...I saw results in one treatment already! It was surprising to see how quickly my skin responded to the quality care I received at the spa! My skin has regained it's elasticity and smooth complexion. I'm on my eighth treatment now and will never neglect my skin again. Lia Schorr put together an amazing spa experience that was custom designed for me and I have all my confidence in her and her staff and their knowledge of skin care. Can't wait for my next appointment!
Pros: Great Atmosphere and Professional Staff
Cons: None!

I will miss this place. They always had a great vibe. The DJs with some of the best music, great food, fast and long lasting hookah, and a friendly staff and crowd. Everything came together in a large space that felt incredibly unique to New York. Le Souk will be remembered as a landmark that changed the neighborhood.
Whenever I think of hookah, I think Le Souk. Whenever I think belly dancing, I think of Le Souk. Whenever I think of the Alphabet City or even the Lower East side, I think of Le Souk. For me, Le Souk was the place to go for great food, belly dancing, and hookah.
They will surely be missed.
Pros: Everything
Cons: they are now closed

Dr. Tabari is one of the best podiatrists in the New York City area. I had a bunionectomy with him last fall. Thankfully, my recovery was truly spectacular. I had very little post operative pain, and incredibly, I did not even take aspirin following a complex bunion removal. Additionally, as Dr. Tabari predicted, I was back to work and walking within 7days of the surgery. Having had the same problem operated on my other foot about 8 years ago, I can testify this was a far faster, less painful recovery. Dr. Tabari personally called the following day to follow up on how I was feeling. He really provides great, no-nonsense patient care and is the best Podiatrist I have ever been blessed with. In my opinion, he has a stern foundation that makes him superb. If you are in the processes of scouting for a great podiatrist, you can not do any better than him. God Bless you Dr. Tabari. Also worth mentioning is his super professional staff - they are very responsive and go the extra mile to ensure great care!
