  • The newest Michael Anthony outpost is luxuriously calm despite its strip-mall location. Downstairs from the hair salon is the tranquil spa (offering massages, facials, hand/foot care), where our bod was treated to a Body Polish, leaving us buffed and baby-smooth, before the Hot Stone Massage got us dozing. (True, our room was somewhat frigid and the masseuse pulled our hair but we’ll chalk that up to newness.) Best of all was the shower-room, complete with jetstreams and fragrant Aveda products galore.
