MIDTOWN EAST — Spa Castle Premier, the upscale Manhattan version of the sprawling Queens multistory spa-porium, opened yesterday. While the Queens location has both a food court and full blown Korean restaurant set atop the spa, the Manhattan version has more limited options. There are healthy acai bowls, bento boxes, and chopped salads. For those who want to indulge, there's mochi ice cream and a wine bar.

AROUND TOWN — Sticky's Finger Joint is serving The Latke Finger, a Hanukkah inspired chicken finger (fried in a potato and onion crust) through December 25. Ten percent of the proceeds will go to Mazon, a national non-profit that fights hunger. [EaterWire]
