SUPER Magic Fingers
Super Magic Fingers sounds either like a run down car wash or happy ending massage parlor. Well it IS a place to get a massage, just not the kind you’re thinking of (get your mind out of the gutter).
I found the name of this underground hot spot when I asked my colleague his pre-race ritual leading up to the marathon (NYC Marathon on November 1). He said he never hits the starting line without a 60 minute ($48) massage at Super Magic Fingers to work out last-minute tight muscles. Aside from the incredible rate, this is a former Ironman sharing his pre-race secrets with me. He can tell me that eating lead paint chips will make me a faster runner and I’ll probably do it.
Without hesitation, I went yesterday evening and was VERY happy with the results. Trust me, the $48 does not go towards any of the parlor’s interior decorating. It is an incredibly bare space with very little fanfare, although the staff are courteous and pleasant. Rooms are separated by curtains and you can hear noise every now and then from the neighboring “room.” Once you get situated they set a (loud) alarm for the requested time and go immediately to work, vigorously massaging in the Tui Na style (rigorous hands on body work that treats muscles, joints and flow of life energy/Chi using their forearms and elbows). By the end you’ll feel like a bowl of pudding.
