New York, NY 10022
Every day · 9:30 AM – 9:30 PM
Sundays and holidays included.
Welcome, no appointment
Busiest between 6 and 8 PM on weekdays — a quick call saves the wait.
Open every day of the week
Twelve hours a day, seven days a week, Sundays included. Most studios on this stretch of Midtown East close at 7 or 8 PM, and several take appointments only. We stay open until 9:30 PM, and you can come up at any point in between — more on that on the massage open late page.
One practical note: a session has to finish inside opening hours. If you want the full 90 minutes late in the evening, book by roughly 8 PM. Shorter sessions can start much later.

Where 146 E 55th St actually is
East 55th Street between Park Avenue and Lexington Avenue, in Midtown East. If you're routing by phone, open us in Google Maps and it'll walk you to the door.
Turn by turn, from wherever you're standing
Two things worth knowing before you set off. We're mid-block, not on a corner, so watch the street numbers rather than the avenue signs. And we're on the second floor in Suite 2B — the ground floor isn't us, so keep going up one more.
Commuters usually arrive from the south, which is why we wrote a whole page on foot massage near Grand Central. If you'd rather not plan at all, the walk-in massage page explains what's usually free when.

Three ways in
Book online. The booking page lists every service, every duration and every price, and it shows what's actually free tonight. It's the fastest option if you want a specific time or the couples room.
Call (212) 347-7878. Best if you're not sure what to book, if you're bringing a group, or if you want to check the wait before you leave the office.
Walk in. Any hour we're open, any day. Weekday evenings between 6 and 8 PM fill up, so that's the one window where a call ahead is worth the thirty seconds.
Prices for every session are published on the massage prices page — foot massage from $35, back massage from $38. Newcomers usually want the questions page first, and if you've never had reflexology, the about page explains what a session involves.
One health note, because people ask at the desk. Massage here is general wellness, not medical care. The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health keeps a plain-language summary of what the research does and doesn't support, plus a shorter list of things to know before you book. Two minutes well spent if you're pregnant, on blood thinners, or working around an injury — and tell your therapist when you arrive either way.
Things we won't guess at
A few answers change often enough that printing them here would do you more harm than good. We'd rather you heard the current one from a person:
- Gift cards — whether we have them and how they're issued.
- Cancellation and rescheduling — what notice we ask for.
- Parking — we can't hold a space on East 55th, and garage rates near Lexington change constantly.
- Anything about a specific therapist — including credentials, which you're welcome to ask about when you book.
On that last one: New York State licenses massage therapists through the New York State Education Department's Office of the Professions, and a licensed practitioner uses the title LMT. Ask us at the desk — it's a fair question.

What people ask on the phone before a first visit. Everything else — prices, what a session involves, health and safety — is on the questions page.
-
What is the closest subway station to U Beauty & Foot Spa?
- The 51 St station on the 6 line is the closest — about 2 minutes on foot. Come up onto Lexington Avenue and walk north four blocks to East 55th Street, then turn left. Lexington Av/53 St (E and M) is about 3 minutes away.
-
Which floor is U Beauty & Foot Spa on?
- The second floor, Suite 2B, at 146 E 55th St, 2nd Floor, Suite 2B, New York, NY 10022. The ground floor isn't us — come up one floor and look for 2B.
-
Which cross streets is 146 E 55th St between?
- East 55th Street between Park Avenue and Lexington Avenue, in Midtown East. We're mid-block rather than on a corner, so watch the building numbers instead of the avenue signs.
-
How far is the massage from Grand Central?
- About 10 minutes on foot. Leave Grand Central through the Lexington Avenue exit at East 42nd Street and walk north on Lexington for thirteen blocks to East 55th Street, then turn left. There are no turns until the last one.
-
Can I walk in without an appointment?
- Yes, any hour we're open — every day from 9:30 AM to 9:30 PM. You can also book online or call (212) 347-7878. Weekday evenings between 6 and 8 PM are the busiest stretch, so a call ahead saves you a wait then.
-
Is there parking near 146 E 55th St?
- We don't have parking of our own and we can't hold a space on East 55th Street, so we'd rather not guess at garage rates that change week to week. Most guests take the 6 train to 51 St, which is a couple of minutes away. If you're driving, call (212) 347-7878 before you set out.
