Best Spray Tans in NYC: Citysearch

As any of my friends could attest, I would do almost anything in the name of journalism. (That usually includes drinking copious amounts of wine and attending openings. Very tough stuff.)

But this time, Citysearch put me up to the challenge: test some of Manhattan's best spray tanning establishments just in time for summer.

Would I emerge orange? Splotchy? Streaky? Would some dare to call me an Oompa Loompa to my face? Perhaps.

But I also discovered which salons offer subtle, envy-inducing bronze shades that enable even the palest of beauties to wear shorts when the weather gets warmer.

Wondering Who Does Rihanna's Hair?

Whether it's natural-looking extensions fit for a supermodel (Naomi Campbell) or edgy cuts perfect for superstars (Rihanna) onstage, celeb-stylist Amoy Pitters makes folical magic in her swanky, modern UES hair salon.

Citysearch had me take a look at the all-white space for a recent review. Go here to read the original article, or click on the image above.

Here's to good hair days!

Two E at The Pierre Hotel

Citysearch asked me to take a look at this super swanky lounge, located inside the historic (but recently renovated) Pierre Hotel. We love Ringo, the bartender! You rock, sir!

The Gates

This fascinating club features a membership program...but the inside has some of the best people watching you can dream up (think male models in 80s Ts drooling over dainty small plates). Citysearch had me check it out...let me know what you think, if you can clear the velvet ropes.

Griffin NYC

Citysearch had me check out the newest MePa speakeasy...and it had a surprisingly easy door.

Palace Gate NYC

What could be better than Gossip Girl, champagne, and al fresco drinking? You'll find all 3 at this outdoor lounge (the sometimes-set of Gossip Girl). Citysearch had me write up Palace Gate, the patio space outside the swanky Palace Hotel.

Edison Ballroom NYC

Fans of swing can do their thing at this swanky (if older) ballroom (located in a historic Midtown hotel). I reviewed this spot for Citysearch, and wish I had practised my ballroom dancing skills!

Forty Eight NYC

Wondering where to drink near Rock Center? I've got your home base. Check out my review of 48 for citysearch.

Hudson Terrace NYC

The Real Housewives of New York had their season finale party here (if you recall, I attended and saw a Chuck Bass look alike). This bi-level party space is worth the trek to Twelfth Ave, especially for the water views.

Oasis at the Giraffe Hotel NYC

This chi-chi rooftop lounge features dynamite views in a relaxing garden setting. For more info on Oasis (located on the top floor of the Giraffe Hotel), click on my review of the space for Citysearch, or here. Cheers!
