New York City is known for doing things big, and there are few places as filled with out-of-the-ordinary options as the Big Apple. Even the typically average to-dos can be made special in this exciting and unpredictable city.
Here are six of NYC's most elevated experiences and services:
Chillhouse
Located on the Lower East Side is the super chic, one-of-a-kind caf-spa, Chillhouse. This gorgeously designed spot offers guests the experience of being pampered like royalty while sipping on detoxifying, signature drinks packed with active ingredients-like the Spin my Wheels with black sesame tahini and honey.
Also on the menu are caf staples such as a turmeric latte and vegan bites that include a killer avocado toast.
Adjacent to the caf is a cozy spa which is equipped with a top-of-the-line ventilation system, making it odorless and unlike any other traditional nail salon. With a treatment menu featuring a curated nail art catalog, non-toxic products and massages all done in a relaxing, uplifting atmosphere, Chillhouse takes grabbing a coffee to a whole new level.
iPic Theaters
Most don't consider going to see a movie as an extravagant activity, but that's probably because they've never experienced iPic Theaters. For the most luxurious movie-watching night of your life, head to the Fulton Market location where everything is expertly curated from the moment you step inside.
The plush cinema features cushy, oversized leather seats, as well as reclining chairs that come with your own blanket and pillow, depending on your preference. Each seat has an equally good view of the big screen.
Guests can even enjoy freshly prepared, seasonal meals and upscale bites delivered to them during the movie, along with craft cocktails, all courtesy of iPic's restaurant concepts that include The Tuck Room, City Perch Kitchen + Bar and Tanzy Restaurant.
Life Time Athletic Sky
Want to work out in style? Life Time Athletic Sky is an elite gym that offers cutting-edge workout experiences within a trendy, luxe atmosphere. It's the kind of gym where you're likely to run into professional athletes and models working on their physique at the crack of dawn. Known for its athletic resort experience, Life Time offers guests more than 90 types of classes ranging from Pilates, studio, cycle, yoga and dance.
In addition, it's home to both outdoor and indoor pools, a basketball court, a cardio and weights floor, a sauna and more. With massage therapists, chefs, personal trainers and nutrition coaches, you'll be in the best shape of your life in no time.
Plus, when you get hungry, you can stop by LifeCafe, where the menu is free of anything artificial, including trans fats and bleached flour.
Visitors are welcome, with day passes starting from $40 per visit. Never dread going to the gym again.
