$20 foot & full body massage! 60 minutes of bliss. It's by no means fancy or even a spa so be prepared to lie down in a communal space where others are also receiving (clothed) massages. If 2 or more are wanting to get a massage, I'd recommend calling an hour in advance to make sure they have enough massage therapist for your and your party.

This is a quintessential speakeasy bar with true craft cocktails. Not cheap but always well done. In order to get in, you have to call ahead for the password and arrive at the specified time. Upon arrival, you walk through the frontage bar and go tot he telephone box and ring to get in. Pretty cool place to say the least.

Sightseeing

The bar is great but high priced and the models of various ships are really interesting but the best part of the ship is the engine room. The smell and history of the controls is pretty darn cool. I always take out of town guests to see this historic beauty docked on our shores.
