37 St. Mark's Place finally lands another tenant


[Yes, it's an older photo]

DF Mavens has a new upstairs neighbor on the northwest corner of St. Mark's Place and Second Avenue...

Please say hello to Taiji's Body Work... the fifth Taiji location in the city...


[Yes, there's a typo]

Per the pamphlets (which also are marked Peng's Body Work), they offer Tui-na, Swedish, Deep Tissue, Reflexology and Hot Stone... among other specialties... (60 minutes = $45.)



The most recent upstairs tenant, 8-Bit and Up, the retro video shop, moved to East Third Street in the fall of 2013.

How and why do we have fifteen foot run places within a four block radius?
Are there a lot of sore feet that need to be "rubbed"?
Sounds like a job for an entrepid undercover evgriever!

I'm guessing that the astronomical rents for local businesses limit potential owners to corporations with deep pockets and minority business owners with SBA loans.

They are all fronts for money laundering just like those palm reading places

money laundering? happy endings?
Probably both. They are not renting to minority owners with SBA loans. Its corporations with deep pockets or these types of places who somehow always pay the rent on time with no problem. I remember when Rudy got rid of a lot of the porn shops. The spaces stayed vacant due to a lack of tenants. ( This was 20 years ago ). Turned out porn is a good business. So are these places.

How much do you think employees are paid in a place like this?

I don't know, but anyone interested in some real investigating should hang around outside of the place after closing time to see if the employees actually leave, or if they live there as some sort of forced labor arrangement.

No Happy Endings here.

Pretty decent massage actually.
