Shizuka

DESTINATION: New York

It was the welcoming quiet that pleasantly awaited us at this Japanese-inspired day spa located on the sixth floor of a high-rise building in Manhattan's bustling midtown. Noted esthetician and owner Shizuka Bernstein has created a calm oasis where guests don authentic Japanese kimonos and snack on Japanese teas and biscuits. Product lines include Naturopathica, and services such as the Cherry Blossom pedicure-that uses homemade masks and scrubs concocted from soy milk, rice bran, black sesame, and honey-is among the favorites with the loyal clientele.
