Portofino Tanning is the best tanning salon in New York City (perhaps in the world), hands down.
The staff is unusually knowledgeable, friendly and eager to help. They make sure you get the deepest tan possible without burning. They take the time to get to know each customer and always check in with me to see how I like my tanning results. The managers are in the salon on a regular basis and know every customer by name. Walk in the front door and you'll feel like you've stepped into a party with a group of old friends.
The beds are always clean and they have XM radios set up in each room. The have a variety of other services available too like teeth whitening and spray tans, but I haven't tried those yet myself. (I have been meaning to check out the UV free sprays) It IS a little odd that they are tucked away on the 4th floor.
Bottom line: I'll never tan anywhere else!
Pros: great tanning results, employees go above and beyond, clean
Cons: on the 4th floor, hard to find
