Top picks include an organic microdermabrasion facial (regularly $125) at the Green Spa and Wellness Center in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn; and a colon hydrotherapy treatment (normally $125) at the Beljanski Wellness Center in midtown.

You’re a thinker…a foodie with an insatiable appetite for knowledge as well as great cuisine. The Upper East Side is full of history and even more stocked with some of the best restaurants in the City. If you wonder about the history of some of New York’s oldest and most distinct restaurants, submit a question to former New York Times Dining section writer William Grimes. From 1999 to 2003, Grimes was the Times’s restaurant critic and he is also the author of the recently released “Appetite City: A Culinary History of New York.”
William Grimes will answer your culinary questions starting Wednesday, so get your questions ready.
