QC SPA EXPANDS WITH THE WONDER
QC New York, the spa on Governors Island, is opening a third building called The Wonder — they now have 100,000 square feet near Soissons Ferry Landing. The new addition features three indoor pools, including Eye of the Storm, a first-of-its-kind experience in the United States where guests are immersed in the sights, sounds and sensations of a thunderstorm with wraparound screens display time-lapses of gathering storms and open skies while thunder rolls, lightning flashes and rain falls from above. (!!) The three-building project represents the largest investment ever made by QC Spa of Wonders globally. See more here.

NOFAR ON MURRAY STREET
I didn’t realize that the Nofar Method, which was on Thomas when it opened here three years ago, is now at 20 Murray Street on the second floor. The Pilates practice was founded by Nofar Hagag, a competitive swimmer and water polo player, in the Flatiron originally. My optometrist said he saw Jon Hamm going in there for an episode of “Your Friends and Neighbors.”
