The phone number under their poster is not their's, but it is still visible. Do NOT call the number and ask if they are busy or to ask for a massage. That will ruin it for everyone else

I posted a review about Ivy at Joy Spa. It’s only a legit place. And they only play Disney songs. Iol.

I had blue balls so I immediately walked into Jasmine Relax Spa. They have two old (late 50s) women who were not attractive so I just left. This place has a Korean store name which is translated to “Elephant Foot Massage”. Seeing those two, I can now understand why it’s called “Elephant”. lol.

Thanks. Your TOFTT is my “add to the short list”!

I walked into Xing Xing Spa. They have older Chinese women (mid-50s and above). Not attractive so I just left. They wanted 160. I asked if I may use the restroom and I saw a table shower room in the hallway. The lady offered me water and candy and seemed like a very nice lady and told me to please stop by next time. I respect people who hussle and not give up so I gave her a 20 tip and thanked her and left.

Hit Jasmine Relax (again) Review posted. Not very exciting but the joint across the street next to the laundromat seems to be picking up some of the late, lamented Vanilla's business on this freeway of frustration, this boulevard of blue balls, this avenue of adventure that is 162nd Street.

Not yet. I keep chickening out when I get there. Worth a life-changing headline in the NY Post?
That won't happen. They would go after Xing Xing with their giant yellow sign first :cool:. They have been in the newspaper a couple of times and have never been shut down. What I experienced at the new place was worth it, and they properly covered the poster on the door. I would be curious to read your review as we have overlapping history and tastes.

Sometimes it is the chemistry you establish with your attendant. I've had good luck at Wangshun with additional off-menu services by trying to speak spa-level Mandarin and using a combo of mainland cultural approaches plus a translator app. My goal is not to waive my flag shouting "USA", but to be attuned to her red flag, knowing what luck it will bring me. At other places like Vanilla, I befriended one attendant and I always tip her more heavily than her spa sisters. She's often busy and refers me to other attendants as "a good customer" and they work harder for me than many other patrons. They all know they will get a little less tip than my friend out of respect for that relationship. They also know that I will report back poor service in a truthful, respectful, and their culturally aligned way. They care about their reputation with good customers. This doesn't work perfectly. I've reported my fails in prior reviews. It does work for me about 9 out of 10 times when rapport and chemistry can be established.
Absolutely right that happens to me as a good customer the owner makes sure I get a nice service!

I walked along 162nd Street today.

Cherry Blossom Spa 88. They had two old and not-so-nice-looking ladies. There was no air conditioning so I left. Is Sasha still the owner here? I used to come here often ten years ago.

Dayue Beauty and Health
An old and not-so-nice-looking lady opened the door so I left. lol

Amazing Spa: Had a nice girl and I’ll post a review later tonight.

Jasmine Beauty Relax Spa: They had only one not-so-nice-looking lady so I just left. She woke up when I opened the door so sorry. lol.

From around 2pm to 6pm, along 162nd Street, if you see a cute and petite Korean lady wearing a baseball cap and overpriced sandals from Chanel or Hermes then she’s a room salon girl. lol.

While again chickening out on going to 45-50, I noticed a new joint on the East side of 162nd south of Northern-between Northern & Sanford named
"Chong de Gong." Before I forever spoil and contaminate this newest addition to "Flu Shing," I was wondering if anyone else has sampled?
It's a diagonal jerk-off away from the late, lamented Vanilla Spa....hence I chickened out (few, if any, will get that joke...)

DUDE! I think you are the one that alerted me to that spot. I posted two reviews. Take the plunge. They won't bite (unless you give very specific instructions on how to use their teeth) ;)
Ah, come on now, Bit. The Chinese chick with fake blond hair was outside the joint next to the building yapping away on a cell phone when I made my last attempt. She was attempting English and was so goddamn loud that whomever she was talking to probably didn't need the phone. As I approached, I could discern "You come. You come, ok baby. Come now. Not busy. You come. I suck." I kept walking.

1. If you go on a date and both of you want Sushi and privacy then I recommend Dong Won Sushi and Tuna. They have private rooms—just the two of you with the door closing. If you need the waitress then you just ring the bell and they will come to you.

2. Zu Rang (casual Korean restaurant) finally re-opened. If an amp lady wants to grab beer/soju and snacks then I recommend this place. Many amp women know and like this place.

3. If you cannot find parking along this street then just park at the funeral home and just let the security guy know that you’re going to Kim Chayul’s Myung Poom Galbi (same owner).

If the security guy gives you a hard time just give a thumbs up and say that the food is indeed “Myung Poom” (which means “luxury”). lol.

4. 45-XX 162nd Street is a church. On the first floor is an amp. When I rang the bell, an old and ugly lady opened the door so I left.

On the very left is another amp (2-story house). When I rang the bell, an old Chinese guy opened the door so I just left.

5. Many Korean sugar mamas and their young stallions (gigolos who work at Versace and Boomerang) come here during the afternoon to drink coffee at White Noise. lol.

:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO: Yes my good man. She was loud, but who else was inside that could use your Elvis-like hip movements? The warm table shower from one, two or three therapists await your superiior skills for the 29 or 59 minutes of 卧室老师上课 that "Only You" can provide o_O. And if that is all wrong, the talent availability resets every 20 minutes due to incoming traffic. You got this my lyrical bro. Plunge forward and teach us all 好老师 l:cool:

You know what
I've been here a bunch of times and what you say makes a lot of sense
They blend in extremely well with other Koreans, but now I'll have fun looking for them
