For more than 20 years, Croninger’s been meeting with the doctors and diagnosticians who staff this healing spot ($30 for a consultation, walk-ins welcome). “It’s common-sense advice,” she explains, picking up a carton of Flu Away! ($4.50) for the coming winter. Post-appointment, herbs are custom-blended to treat your specific condition. Lin Sister also offers acupuncture and cupping. 4 Bowery at Doyers St

If you want to see what a little traditional Chinese medicine can do for your beat-up body, head over to Yin Beauty & Arts Spa for their diagnosis.
A therapist will give you an evaluation before performing exfoliation… to improve circulation and "release blocked energy." Then they'll follow with a body treatment made of detoxifying herbs and seaweeds and end with a qi massage (qi being your life force, which could use a little pampering right now) to release tension.

Sure the Meatpacking District teems with oh so popular clubs with doormen, multiple levels, celebrity sightings, and overpriced drinks. But for those of us who love dancing but are allergic to MePa's stench of cologne and doucherie, there are plenty of alternatives. Streams of new dance clubs have opened up downtown over the past few years, and those already in existence now curate parties with better DJs and hipper crowds. Nowadays you can see some of the city's most innovative spinners spinning until 4 a.m. every night of the week at some of the following clubs in Chelsea, the West Village, the LES, and Brooklyn.

THANK YOU!

Quite possibly the coolest bar on the Upper East Side (backhanded compliment, I know). Auction House is only a moderate secret, as it gets its share of doucherie by the mid-late hours. However, its relatively small… size, decadent arty decor, and spare seating keep turnover high. Best experienced early or very, very late. [link]
