Polite Pedicures
While there are many dodgy nail bars in New York, there are some fantastic spots too. Polaris is my personal favorite. The wallpaper is a gorgeous floral pattern, it's impeccably clean, quiet, and very spa like without spa prices. For a natural manicure, it's just $12. I love the fact that they offer green tea and a no cell phone environment. Take a chic peek at Polaris Nail + Spa, 10 East 22nd Street in the Flatiron District.
