Sweet Lily: Honey Walnut manicure and pedicure
Hands and feet deserve comfort food too, and Sweet Lily's Honey Walnut Manicure ($35) and pedicure ($65) combined feel as good as taking seconds on desert, without the guilt. The Tribeca salon is a shabby chic lover's dream decked with tiny flower prints, whitewashed furniture and antique chandeliers. Conservative and preppy gals (think: the Kate Spade set) sink into the three cozy club chairs to soak their neglected winter dogs in a warm milk and almond oil bath, garnished with rose petals. After a file and buff, the technician applies a sugary smelling honey and crushed walnut mixture to the feet and wraps them in plastic baggies topped with hot towels. The finale is a light foot massage and a coat of polish before you're whisked off to indulge your hands in the same sweet treat.
