Deep Impact





MOST NEW YORKERS don’t take the time to stop and breathe, much less shell out two hours to indulge in any activity that doesn’t somehow involve a BlackBerry. But two hours is all the professionals at The Peninsula Spa by ESPA need to rest your mind and restore your soul through the spa’s signature Deep Tissue Experience ($465). Start with a tea ceremony and a consultation to determine what areas the technician should focus on. Then luxuriate in a dry body brushing, head-to-toe exfoliation, a facial cleanse and, the main event, a therapeutic massage using warm oils to completely obliterate tension and stress. To fully enjoy the experience, the spa recommends you allot an extra hour before your treatment to partake of all the cell-phone-free amenities the facility offers. Go on—drop off the grid for a while. You can do it. 700 Fifth Ave., 212-903-3910; peninsula.com
