My fave yoga studio in New York, anusara style. About 25 min walk away, so not the closest, but worth it. I think $20 for 1-wk unlimited classes for first-time students.

This is my gym, it's lovely. I'll leave some guest passes on the fridge if you want to work out, but can't guarantee they'll accept them if you're from out of town. Worth a try!
