“It’s kind of like a spa speakeasy,” Anna Zahn says with a laugh while welcoming me into the New York pop-up of her popular L.A. lymphatic drainage destination, Ricari Studios. Nestled in the back of a designer showroom five floors above the hubbub of Mercer Street, it doesn’t bear the neon signs or in-your-face storefronts all too familiar to Soho these days. Instead, the only indication that wellness seekers have arrived is a single jasmine-scented bed. Since opening last month, Ricari has become a holistic haven for Manhattan’s glitterati (think: Camille Rowe, Romee Strijd, and Dree Hemingway), who, through word of mouth, have sought out its body sculpting service for pre-red carpet appearances and post-transatlantic flights alike.
