HISTORY Former financier Jamie Ahn’s newest venture opened last fall following the success of his Acqua Beauty Bar (which, natch, doesn’t have a bar).

VIBE The three-story space features mahogany, mother-of-pearl, and a honey onyx bar built onto a rough-hewn 3,000-year-old tree.

BY DAY After lunch at Town next door, Midtown bankers slip in for a shave, shoe shine, and mini-facial in the men’s spa upstairs.

SIGNATURE TREATMENT The Cosmecellar Facial ($395) combines high-tech and biotech to transform skin in 90 minutes.

BY NIGHT Attorneys hold court in the lounge’s leather banquettes, taking breaks for the gelatin-thickened warm pedicure soaks in an adjoining room.

COCKTAIL TO ORDER A frothy, antioxident-rich mixture of pink mangosteen juice and Champagne (gratuit, with treatment).
