TOURIST INFORMATION
Late spa: Homme Spa
More of a spa-meets-social lounge, with sauna and steam rooms, massage therapy and a range of skincare treatments offered until late-night.
Basic cut: Astor Place Hairstylists
This East Village basement barbershop is by no means the fanciest of hair salons, but it’s still a New York legend.
Fitness gym: Equinox
You’ll get checked out in the mirror (blame the neighborhood), but for the most part, there’s not a lot of attitude or cruising here.
Top notch gym: Reebok Sports Club
More than a gym, this is really a club with five levels of fitness space, an outdoor track, a pool and a rooftop sundeck.
Boy gym: David Barton Gym
The lighting in this gym could have you swearing that you totally look better than the porn star doing crunches next to you.
Super gym: Chelsea Piers
Everything’s bigger in America, and Chelsea Piers is no exception; this facility is huge.
Gym: Manhattan Plaza Health Club
The 35,000 square foot complex in the middle of Hell’s Kitchen has everything from spinning and pilates to scuba diving.
Queens & The Bronx
So close, yet so far away. Plenty of queens to be found in Queens, while you may want to stash away your in tiara in the Bronx.
Brooklyn
People who swore they’d never live in Brooklyn, now live in Brooklyn and call neighbourhoods like Williamsburg, Fort Greene, and Park Slope home.
Lower Manhattan
Money, yuppies and hipsters make up the bottom of Manhattan, piling into the Financial District, Tribeca and the Lower East Side for work and play.
Downtown Manhattan
Arguably the most picturesque part of New York, but definitely the most happening with the Meatpacking District, SoHo, NoHo, NoLita, and the Villages packed in here.
Midtown Manhattan
Two of the biggest gaybourhoods, Chelsea and Hell’s Kitchen, in addition to the food scene around Union Square and the tourist attractions around Times Square.
Uptown Manhattan
From the faint smell of old money and the typical lady who lunches on the Upper East Side to a bit of rough in Harlem.
