Situated in the midst of corporate chaos in Midtown Manhattan, Firehouse Wellness, aka the Zaza Spa, offers a calming escape from the high-strung action of the city it calls home. Take a turn off the infamous Fifth Avenue onto 56th Street and enter FloLo Holisitic Spa, the home of the beloved Zaza Spa. Originally located in an old Harlem firehouse, owner Jonathan Escoffery discovered the perfect home for his cannabis-infused wellness venture in 2020. Upon touring, he didn’t want to ever leave— and neither will you.
The Zaza Spa: A Serene Escape from NYC’s Hustle & Bustle
The Midtown spa is sleek, clean, calming, and offers a range of wellness services and activities— everything you’d look for in a space like this. But the difference lies in their particular fondness of cannabis and belief that the plant can help bring healing and well-being to new heights, especially in tandem with their wellness offerings. To Jonathan, a raised and practicing Rastafarian, cannabis is more than a recreational activity. It’s a wellness ritual used not only by his own religion but by people from all walks of life, all over the world. He aims to provide a space where cannabis is accepted and safe to use while offering a spectrum of wellness affairs.
Walk through the pristine hallways of the Zaza Spa and find anything from massages, acupuncture, and cupping to dry and wet float tanks, and unique to the space: a specially crafted frequency float tank. Head upstairs and find an infrared sauna, massage chair, and light-filled space for classes like yoga, meditation, and reiki. This wondrous space also hosts events like happy hours and cannabis educational talks.
Follow the light and head outdoors to the consumption-friendly lounge, where you’ll feel protected and at peace while overlooking the vibrant skyline. And if you forget your bud, don’t stress— you don’t have to go too far to find premium elevated products. Find a range of natural wellness products in the lobby, including Zaza Spa’s own Dyckman Premium.
In the heart of the bustling metropolis, Firehouse Wellness stands as an oasis of tranquility and a serene embrace from the chaotic urban energy that surrounds it. The Zaza Spa invites you to immerse yourself in a space where cannabis and holistic wellness harmonize— where you can take your healing and well-being to new heights naturally.
