Making small talk while someone saws away at your nails can be tricky, but Dashing Diva Nail Spa & Boutique knows how to turn a manicure into a party. On Thursdays and Fridays from 6 to 9 p.m., the salon plays music videos and offers free Cosmopolitans; on Tuesday afternoons, it’s daiquiris; Sunday through Wednesday, mimosas and muffins. The manicures themselves are quick, thorough, long-lasting, and a bargain: $12 for the basic, $22 for added microdermabrasion of the hands, elbows, and arms, and $32 for the “all-out diva,” which includes a cuticle treatment, crystal-scrub exfoliation, vitamin-oil massage, and paraffin dip.

We eat, drink, dance, shop, shvitz, and trampoline our way around the city, not to mention poll scores of in-the-know colleagues, hard-partying friends, opinionated family members, and, this year, a team of guest expert bloggers to bring you answers to all of the above questions, and hundreds more, in the form of our annual “Best of New York” issue.
