Another vote of support for HT (Elm)
[QUOTE=NikTobarada;4680183]Hello. I am a newcomer to this obsession. I've been meaning to register and post, but life gets in the way. I apologize that this, my very first post, is so long-winded. I have been amassing data, and have detailed notes on over 2 dozen AMP visits in the last 2 to 3 months (in the greater Hudson Valley area). That said, I'll leave the "creation story" and details of other venues, for other posts.
I felt obligated to chime in about the previous post. Just want to add my experience, and am not trying to contradict or invalidate Mr. Greene's experience.
I am willing to bet the "old lady with skills" is CeCe. Here is my notes, word for word, on CeCe (with parenthetical comments, not in the notes):
CeCe is wonderful. She's a bit older than others* (late 40's / early 50's), but makes up for this with other aspects. One: she speaks excellent English, and makes pleasant conversation with no language issues. And she gives a great, firm massage leaving me wondering if I should return just for "legit" (hate to use that word) massage. After the flip she had (I don't stare the whole time, obviously) a very attentive, slightly-smiling face while she worked (contrast with the impassive, robotic face some have). CeCe gave me. I hate to say it this way. A very maternal & nurturing HE. I say nurturing because at one point I felt myself getting very anxious (this was only my 2nd time, ever) and maybe losing it. She paused and looked at me smiling and said: "Hey. You need relax and enjoy. Plenty of time left. You come here to relax, yes?" "Yes," I affirmed. "So relax! (Inner monologue: "You're right, CeCe, I *do* need to fucking relax. ") No problems after the pep-talk..[/QUOTE]Hi,
Used to post on this site a long time ago under a different handle. Spent more time on a different forum that got shut down during the big purge a few years ago.
Wanted to chime in on my experiences here as well.
When I relocated back to the CT / NY area from the South, this was one of the first spots I checked out because I was tired of the Danbury scene. I wanted an enjoyable HE with a more legitimate massage.
The last 8 years, I have been a faithful customer. The experience quality was consistent, the place has stayed clean (could use a little TLC like paint and such), and the prices never changed. My ATF Udee is gone, but CeCe / CiCi is a perfect replacement for all the reasons listed above.
If I want the younger options, I'll go to Danbury. If I need a strong massage to relieve my back pain, I'm calling CeCe.
I also recommend a 4 hand session with her and Judy (massage not as good, but she is very playful). I usually call ahead to gauge if they've been busy or not before I take that option.
But very nurturing and friendly / playful is a big win here. Be happy to share more details via PM.
The Good, The Bad, The Ugly (subtitle: massive info dump)
The Good
Sun & Moon. Newburgh. In a strip mall. You stand directly in front, with the sign above you and the windows (with decals of attractive people with hot stones on the their back, covering them) in front of you. But where is the damn door? So you circle around again. Hoping the karate people and the hair salon people don't catch you reconnoitering. It's ok; you've got your hoodie on. The door is to the left of the venue itself, far enough that you'll observe to yourself: "That's weird". You enter an antechamber which has and locked / buzzer'd inner door with a camera. I buzzed and was met with an absolutely stunning Korean woman named CeCe (or Sissy). She took me by the arm, like your prom date would, led me to a room, and gave an almost-perfect experience. At the 45-minute mark, she suddenly stopped and told me to finish myself. I don't understand why she did this. I said: "No. *You* will finish me. " "I try one more time," she replied. She did, and all was well. After, I tipped her well and she got all chummy again, saying: "You come back soon. " I'll probably return because she was so damned hot, but I don't like quitters in my life. Also I rarely find myself in Newburgh. What the hell was that? Stopping with 15 to go and giving up. Please.
The Bad
Moonlight Beauty. Newburgh. Don't bother now. From my research, it was formerly a place we'd go to. Now it's legit. There's a sign on the door (the room door, not the venue door) that says: "No sexual favors. Don't even ask. " I took a picture of it with my phone. Plus the lady (Chinese) was fat. Yes, I'm chubby too. But she's not paying me for a HE.
JJ Center Spa. Wappingers. Formerly 'Your Green Spa' (see posts #31 and #46), a local favorite. Had a wonderful experience with Cindy, who was even more attractive than CeCe / Sissy (above). And younger. This was about 1. 5 months ago, and I vowed to return. "Why are you putting a good thing under The Bad, Nik?" Because when I called a week ago, to return? No answer. Got a return call a few minutes later (different number), explaining that the entire building (with all businesses) had burned down! I Googled it, and yes, it's true:

The Ugly
It infuriates me that the Pleasant Valley venue at 17 North Avenue, currently known as "Hudson Family Spa", posts daily on STG and CityX. This is total false advertising / lure you in tactics. I went one evening about a month ago. Was greeted by 2 unattractive Chinese ladies, one very old, one even older (see Nik's chart in my original post #61). The even older one was my provider. Sign on the room door said in large Times-Roman font: Leave Your Underwear On. Also I mentioned "even-older". She looked 60, which means she was actually 100. This is a "legit" (hate to use that term) place; keep away. Observe the word 'family' in the title. I usually commit to the experience, no matter what I encounter. Thus, I got what they offer: a decent, normal massage.
Jefferson Valley Spa in Yorktown Heights
Well the good news I was able to find a spa that was still open, the rest was not so good. I have been here a few times before so I know the person that runs it and does massages when no other woman are working. I text back and forth and gave her an ETA when I was arriving. She must of fallen asleep since I was standing outside the door for long enough that I started to leave when she finally answered. She was very safe and wore a mask and gloves the whole time. The massage was one of the worst I have ever had and the whole time she complain about the owner demanding her rent, with no music on so no avoiding listening to her. On the flip she start demanding large amounts for extra's I didn't even ask for or want, at one point she appeared very angry with me. I ended up paying for the massage and leaving, this was a total waste of time and the worst massage I think I ever had.
Stay Safe.
