Indulge in Spa Week 2008

New York living is hard. Most of us could use a little pampering and rejuvenation. During Spa Week, you can get pampered for less at New York City's hottest spas and face the fall with an unmistakable glow. You can also pick up a Spa Week gift certificate and treat that special someone in your life to a bit of beauty indulgence.

From April 14-20, 2008, more than 80 Manhattan spas (as well as spas in Brooklyn, Queens, Long Island, and Westchester) are offering spa treatments for just $50 each.

Choose from massages, facials, manicures, pedicures, body wraps, Brazilian waxes, and many other delicious indulgences (okay, the Brazilian wax won't be a lot of fun, but you'll look great in your teeny bikini).

Make your appointments early -- the most popular spas will book up. Here are some of our picks for Spa Week:
