Venture a few stops past Manhattan and you’ll find a place that truly helps melt out the confines of the city. Opt for the famous Classic Dr. Hauschka Treatment ($185)—a relaxing two-hour treatment that ensures you’ll come out stress-free. Or try their Weleda Wild Rose Intoxicating Treatment Body Wrap ($95), which has the genuine smell of roses—take a deep breath. If you’re ready to get some exercise, try out a class at their yoga center. You can even get a free yoga class the same day as your treatment—or stop in for a Vinyasa class to learn the basics anytime you please ($15). After you’re all stretched out, you can stay for a luxurious massage.
Insider Tip: Take a bit of Area home with you by shopping on their website. They have Dr. Hauschka products too.
