After a long work week I’m usually looking for the right balance of chill lounge and buzz.
SABON
To start it off I listen to my body and walk over to Sabon for a free three minute hand scrub. The staff are genuinely friendly lovely people. They will suggest some samples to try at the huge communal sink made out of beautiful stone. Get the hand scrub and then the lotion. Heavenly!
Take note this is a great place to get a quick gift for the sensual people in your life. You know those people that like to smell everything, even the books in book stores.
This place has a huge selection of organic products. Liquid soaps, lotions, essential oils, scented candles, handmade soap, men’s grooming and bath products…everything to make you smell good naturally.

After washing my hands clean, I walk up a couple of blocks to
RUBIN MUSEUM OF ART

I love this place on Fridays!!!
Gallery admission is free to all every Friday from 6 – 10 p.m.
RMA's website sums up what they are about…
“The Rubin Museum of Art (RMA) is home to a comprehensive collection of art from the Himalayas and surrounding regions. The artistic heritage of this vast and culturally varied area of the world remains relatively obscure. Through changing exhibitions and an array of engaging public programs, RMA offers opportunities to explore the artistic legacy of the Himalayan region and to appreciate its place in the context of world cultures.”
I like to walk through the exhibit to relax my nerves…then find my way to the K2 lounge. Every Friday night the café becomes the K2 Lounge, offering a special Pan Asian Tapas menu along with a Martini and Wine Bar to accompany the evenings DJ and unique thematic gallery tours and programs
At 9:30pm (unless otherwise noted) you can continue on to Cabaret Cinema
These screenings of classic films from around the world explore themes featured in the museum's galleries. Each film is introduced by a notable guest to provide context. Past presenters have included Liv Ullmann, Brian Cox, Vito Acconci, and Alan Cumming.
