NYC Guide. When we pitched this guide, it was basically just an excuse to go the spa for work. But having emerged on the other side of our important researchβwith glowing skin and a newfound appreciation for eating in a towelβwe've seen the truth. Some spa restaurants are better than others. Below, you'll find some of our favorite spas in NYC plus two in New Jersey , ranked according to their food options.
So when you call out sick next Tuesday, make it count. Drink green juice in a cafeteria with a million-dollar view, eat some bibimbap while contemplating the East River, or sip beer under a photo of John Belushi. And steer clear of that disappointing buffet. We only rate spots where you can eat a full meal. New Jersey. They have everything from cheeseburgers to bulgogi, but here, we like to order like we're at a wellness retreat in Wyoming, not across the Hudson River in Edgewater, New Jersey.
That means getting a green smoothie and a tuna poke bowl with brown rice, naturally. Find a table next to some people who also aren't wearing shoes, rehydrate with an impressive array of crunchy green things, and then hit the infinity pool on the roof, or take a nap in the relaxation room.
College Point. We like that Spa Castle has options. There are snack shops and cafes littered throughout the massive building in College Point, including a swim-up juice bar.
But as you wind your way up five floors, from the locker rooms, to the relaxation areas and outdoor pools, save your appetite for Sky Garden at the top. Until you get some rice and gochujang on your robe. If taking a midnight nap in a golden pyramid sounds fun, you'll love this Korean spa in Palisades Park, New Jerseyβwhich is open until the glorious hour of 2am.
