"Shop during the week or get here early (8 AM on the dot) on Saturday to avoid amateur hour."

"The CardioSculpt and PilatesWorks classes are great. The one downside is that there aren't a ton of options for weekday mornings; the timings cater more to the UES mommy crowd."

"Great, affordable mani-pedis. Tip well and you'll be treated like royalty. (Avoid Dennis; he can be a bit creepy.)"

"The match strikes make excellent housewarming gifts."

"Great, knowledgeable bartenders (Michael took great care of us), but the crowd is awful. Go on a quiet weeknight and order the fried chicken."

"Absolutely disgusting. Cramped locker room, filthy machines, smells like koolaid."
