QC NY SPA

Casa QC Bistro - Review - Governors Island - New York - The Infatuation

"QC Spa on Governor’s Island is a pretty magical place. The spa is located in an old army barrack, though you wouldn’t know it—the U-shaped building holds never-ending saunas and steam rooms, alongside massage therapy rooms, foot baths, an ice room, and more. It’s as close to a White Lotus experience as you’re going to find around here, complete with probably the best view of Lower Manhattan. (And priced accordingly, with passes going up to $124 on weekends.) That said, you should plan on eating before and after you go, near the ferry in Fidi (or on the island in the summer). photo credit: Will Hartman photo credit: QC Spa photo credit: QC Spa Pause Unmute You have two options at Casa QC Bistro. $49 will get you one hour at both the hot and cold buffets ($39 for just the cold), and the quality of the food isn’t up to snuff with the rest of the experience. It’s not terrible, it’s just that the rest of your day at QC Spa feels so calculated, and so thought out, that the boring, mass-produced buffet food sticks out as a sore spot. Go for the intended purpose—the spa—and only eat here if you’re in danger of falling over from sweating too much. Food Rundown Hot Buffet For soups, frittatas, and quiches, you’ll need to pony up an extra couple bucks. On offer when we visited was a pumpkin soup that worked well, and a soggy frittata. Cold Buffet The less expensive of the two options, the cold buffet consists of a salad bar, some charcuterie, a yogurt and granola bar, and a few cookies and pies for dessert." - Will Hartman
