Profile

The steam room at this Koreatown spa wraps the assembled soft-bodies, many descending from the Empire State Building across the street, in a blanket of dense fog and sandwiches them in hot slabs of marble and jade stones, which are believed to help the body detox. Hot air is filtered through a basket of Asian herbs and ginseng root (smelling, not unpleasantly, like broccoli), while the temperature remains a perfectly unbearable 120 degrees at all times. And unlike the Russian competition, Spa Sol never runs out of towels.

My husband used to go here for the sauna, massages and the happy ending. He never told me about it because, "everybody else" was doing it. Well recently he got detoured to another "spa" up the street (6th floor) where he got the same service but then was offered "everything". Of course he came back for everything and now our marriage is in shambles. Sol Spa isn't a legitimate massage place. Men, you are risking compromising your values and your wives. Just take a hard look at the street that you are on when you go there. Strip club, porn shop, happy ending spa and brothel all in one short block. Go home , save your cash and ask your wife to give you a happy ending!

Illegal, Unlicensed, Happy Ending Massage Place

NYMag should be embarrassed for having posted this place! It is not a legitimate massage place. They give after-hours happy endings for $40 "tips" The massages themselves are not professional, obviously, and are not good.
