If you live in Manhattan, you don’t have much breathing room. You occupy in a teeny tiny apartment, ride to work in a subway car squashed against total strangers, and fight off throngs of tourists while you’re walking down the street. Sure, we love the bright lights and big city, but even thinking about how cramped the concrete jungle can feel makes us want to escape. That’s why we’re thankful that we discovered Breathing Room, our favorite spot on this little island to go for massages. It’s located just around the corner from Union Square, but Breathing Room, an inviting space with high ceilings and an old country ambiance, feels miles away from the hustle and bustle. A one-woman business owned and operated by licensed masseuse Robin Gillies (who is completely lovely and sincere, and gives extremely therapeutic massages), this is the place to go if you want a customized experience—you’ll never feel like just the next number on the client roster. Trust us, you’re in good hands at Breathing Room. Breathing Room is filed under Beauty&Body: Massage.
