I went to Bliss on a gift certificate and had an amazing 75-minute massage. Very professional, a little awkward at first, but then I was so zoned out I forgot to feel awkward. I've had a lot of mediocre ho-hum massages so I think it's best to pay as much as you can afford and go for best. I really want to try the new Korean baths/spa in College Point Spa Castle: http://www.nyspacastle.com/eng/main/main.php

i am going to finally try a platza massage this weekend:
Platza Oak LeafLie down while in the Russian Room and a platza specialist will scrub you (actually beat you) with a broom made of fresh oak leaves, sopping with olive oil soap. The oak leaves contain a natural astringent, which will open your pours, remove toxins, and actually take off layers of dead skin. Some described the platza as "Jewish acupuncture".

also i want to try either tui na or shiatsu soon

Did you ever try the platza? It is quite an experience.
Anyone know a good place in the East Village for tui na?
