as you wind your way upstairs it just gets more and more decadent -- you can find just about anything in this store. my favorite part is the second level where you can hunt for accessories and the first level is the beauty products. it's a must see (or more accurately -- a must indulge)!

Cristina Lipka is a certified reflexologist. Many practice reflexology and offer services in spas -- however, after you've been to a certified reflexologist like Cristina, you will appreciate what the art of reflexology (i.e. each pressure point on your foot has a corresponding body part). In addition to a thoroughly enjoyable and relaxing foot massage, she will be able to tell you in great detail all about your aches and pains and relieve them substantially.

Elizabeth Arden Red Door Salon and Spa has truly set the standard for spas. Their flagship location on Fifth Avenue is exceptional. Their technicians and staff are utterly professional.
i've tried them for a number of services -- pedicure (to die for), styling (excellent), facials (the best of the best), and massage (supreme relaxation).
the prices are high, but it's worth it to splurge on a half day package.

located in the benjamin hotel, the affinia wellness spa offers a wide range of treatments and services. it is everything you expect in a spa -- soft music, bubbling fountains and low lighting.
the technicians are friendly and professional and competent. prices are not out of this world. again, there's nothing extra special about this place, but it does the basics well.

this spa falls more into the clinic category. it is not the place to go for a relaxing treatment or facial. that said, you will definitely notice a difference in your skin when you leave.
the technicians are impersonal (read: very clinical), but professional. key though is the consultation they do to evaluate what procedure or treatment would be best for you.
also, they have great products that keep the effect of the treatment going.
note of caution: they require a credit card to hold the reservation -- and they will charge you if you don't show.

while staying at the W new york recently, i had the opportunity to visit this spa and just relax into utter bliss. i had a facial which did wonders for me. the technician was superbly competent and friendly.
they offer a wide range of treatment options and the products are to die for. the prices are a bit high -- even for new york, but what price can you put on bliss?

this is a great place to bring visitors or have a business meeting for lunch -- though make sure the person eats seafood -- they have a rather limited non-seafood selection.
my favorite is the crab cakes, which they only have on wednesdays. but all the staples are on their menu and done to perfection -- fish and chips, clam chowder, grilled fish caught daily. take your pick -- you won't be disappointed!

as for the food, what's not to love, especially when enjoying an authentic caipirinha :) my favorite is the chicken in hearts of palm sauce. follow dinner with a cafezinho.

this charming restaurant in the flatiron district will satisfy anyone's craving for pizza or italian. i came across it after escaping the wait at gramercy tavern just down the street and have been back several times since.
the pizza is the best in new york, in my opinion. their wood-burning oven makes all the difference. their wine list is reasonable. and saving room for tiramisu is a must!

the atmosphere in this tapas lounge is what sets it apart. attached to ABC Carpet and Home, you can wander through for brunch on a weekend or have dinner after an afternoon of shopping. Take your pick from any of the chandeliers -- they're all for sale.
the food is wonderfully flavorful (the spicy calamari one of my favorites). the dessert menu doesn't really have any must-indulge items.
in the summer enjoy eating al fresco
