Melt away
It takes something big to get noticed on spa-packed Newbury Street, but thats what you get at Melt. The place is chic and cozy: Think English-estate elegance via Central Park West. The HydraFacial lasts only 30 minutes and doesnt leave red marks, and the $130 pedicure is a standout. Of course, the ultra-luxe (and ultra-expensive) ser¬vices come with Champagne, healthy treats from the spa menu, and a light makeup application.
