162nd Street...Here I Go...

[Bit]

Grace and Joy share therapists when one is busy and the other is not. Joy stays open very late, whereas Grace has closed a bit earlier. Head to Toe gives a better massage than both, but closes at 9pm on most days. Same menu as reported above.

Cherry Blossom is a bit of a crap shoot. So is the remnants of Lavender.

A lot of the RM info is old and includes closed places like Aroma (they closed about 4 years ago). W Top Spa moved around the same time and I believe is in the Royal Spa location near 150th. I'm sure the ownership changed hands twice since then.

Good luck on your spa crawl

Thanks, Bit
Seems like the 4 I listed at top are the only ones still open that are not already monger-reviewed.

There’s a fried chicken place below Vanilla Spa which has excellent chicken. Many of the amps and room salons order chicken from here.

White Noise is a nice coffee shop to bring your date. Many amp providers and room salon girls come here too.

Park San Bal (박산발) is a nice Korean restaurant that serves only beef soup. Every Chinese and Korean girl I brought here loved it. I also noticed that many Chinese KTV girls come here too. Do NOT come inside and order 15 mins before they close. The owner is a golf fanatic and she plays golf every night once she closes at 7pm sharp. lol.

There’s a bar called “Boomerang”. Don’t go here because young Korean gigolos work here. lol.

There’s a bar called 여우 which means “Fox”. There’s a grand opening sign. This bar also has young Korean gigolos so don’t go inside. lol.
There’s a bar called Zu Rang. It’s a nice place to go and grab a drink and have Korean snacks with your date.

Right next to Zu Rang is a place called Tomato which is a room salon.

Blue Moon Queen Inc is now closed. It was a bar with older Yanbian women.

Best Spa and Head 2 Toe Spa I have never been to.

Amazing Spa used to be called Lavender. Emily at Lavender was my ATF. She is one of the most attractive Chinese providers I have ever met.

Grace Spa, I don’t know.

Joy Spa I don’t know.

Cherry Blossom Spa used to be called something else (Zeng-something). Sasha used to run this place. I haven’t been here in ten years so I’m not sure.

Jasmine Beauty Relax Spa, I don’t know.

Xing Xing Spa, I don’t know.

Across the street from Xing Xing is another amp with no name. It just says “Body Work, Hot Stone” which I haven’t been to.

Floral Spa, I don’t know.

In keeping with the rules posted by the Moderator, all the info below comes from publicly available sources (like walking down 162nd or non-member searches on this site; RM or UG) or from advertising done by the establishments themselves (Per the Mod: "To further clarify, if anyone can't find the info on a public Internet search, that's PRIVATE....")

So, based on the wisdom of others, my 162nd Street research (and one block either way) shows just these places as being unreviewed and probably still open for me to try for the team. If anyone has tried any, please save me the shoe leather:

I walked through the area yesterday: The area is nicer than Roosevelt without the overhead train. But I didn't see anyone hawking wares on the street. The spas were open but I lacked incentive to go in. And it's not really walking distance from the Main St, Flushing stop on the #7, although the LIRR is nearby.
Life continues.

 

[Bit]

it's not really walking distance from the Main St, Flushing stop on the #7, although the LIRR is nearby.

The area is a 10 minute bus ride away from Main St. And honestly speaking, for what we spend in this hobby, an Uber to and from this street is simple enough.

If you need a cover story Uber to El Vicentino at 43-37. It is a good Salvadoran restaurant in the middle of all the action. It is also unique enough to justify repeated trips to the area.

And yes, 162nd is much nicer than under the tracks on Roosevelt. I've said in many posts that you have at least 10 options on this strip, and a few more just beyond this list on 46th and on Northern.

I went browsing there back in May...Wangshun Spa (929-341-6303) on 162 & 46 Ave... elderly lady leads me in and points to the table. I asked if she was the only one and she said yes. I politely excused myself.

Second stop was across the street (646-906-6180). I'm greeted by a stick figure wearing lingerie about two sizes too big. Tells me $40 for the hour and demands that I tip up front. I tell her I'll tip after massage if the service is good. Replies back service is good, you pay now. No...I don't pay now - I leave now.

Good luck!

LMAO this had me dying

 

[Sneakypete3]

Slight update:
42-16 162nd (718-888-0256) (Head to Toe /Best Spa)--reported by fellow monger as Legit
43-17 162nd (347-399-3227) (Cherry Blossom Spa)--not yet hit
43-30 162nd (718-717-9577) (Jasmine Spa)- I reviewed today
160-06 46th Ave (646-961-2127) (Therapy Massage)- closed

Looks like just Cherry Blossom and 162nd Street is totally canvassed.

 

[Bendoverchief]

is Tomato still open? Going there next week to experience a room salon for the 1st time. Anyone know how to get in contact to make an appointment?

Greatly appreciated

I ain't no Page Six celebrity, but unfortunately I am somewhat recognizable to some in Queens. Thus, I spend an inordinate amount of time scoping out locations prior to my hormonally-inspired visits to avoid "the walk of shame" or "the standing outside waiting for the damned door to open" scenario. This usually requires several surveillance drive-bys prior to initial entry. I also strive to be the only client on-premises when I do pull the trigger for the same aforementioned reason. Doing this a long time and this has always worked for me...until yesterday.

Did my scope. Found the "perfect parking spot" on 162nd and all set to try Wangshun Spa (readers of this thread may note it has been reviewed by others but I have not sampled as yet) to finish off the comprehensive cartology of 162nd Street from Northern to 46th Avenue. Scanned the street north and south and the coast is clear. It's 1:00 PM yesterday and have to feed the meter (with quarters of course, no trace of where I been and why and when). That is, of course, precisely when someone exits the black Mercedes parked in front of me and walks directly into Wangshun Spa; precipitating "monger interruptus extremis;" a condition akin to "terminal blueballs" and fatal among mongers of a certain age.

After placing the appropriate hex on this interloping OWSUD (Old White Somewhat Ugly Dude), his ancestors, his progeny, and the Mercedes Benz Motor Company, I exited the vicinity. I'm no quidnunc, but if this individual is reading this, you should be feeling sharp, recurring pains in various parts of your body right around now. And your car's engine should blow in about 3 days...remaining hair should be gone by Monday...and, oh yeah, I hope you had a lousy time at Wangshun...and your boss wants to know where you were yesterday...if I think of more, I'll follow-up...

To everyone else, please excuse the delay in my completing the 162nd Street compendium; I am glad to see someone else took Lavendar Spa as that was also due to be fact-checked. If the aforementioned offender is a member, at least post a review so I know what I'm missing...and can lift the hex...

Was her name Angel or Angela? I remember Angela who also worked across the street in before heading to lavender
