This former massage parlor makes a swish addition to a swiftly gentrifying neighborhood. Lounge in banquettes on the ground floor, or descend to the DJ-ready basement--where the original steam rooms have been renovated as tiled booths. The name is a reference to the coy way in which the space's previous occupants used to offer clients a finale to their massage.
The vibe is hip and fresh and attracts many of the fashion-forward young things who patronize the avant-garde boutiques nearby. One thing this otherwise excellent venue hasn't yet got right, though, is the house cocktail list. The Cantonese Mule, with Ketel One, ginger beer and lime juice, is ruined by the addition of Chambord. The house mojito is cloying, although the H.E. Martini--made with Grey Goose and a drizzle of scotch whiskey--shows promise. Stick to the standards while they figure things out. |
