it's essentially a bunch of saunas and a bunch of cold rooms in one area so you get really hot then get really cold then get really hot then get really cold and so on and so forth. i've wanted to go to the russian turkish bathhouse since i saw the interviews outside with those gays who were absolutely glowing. they looked so happy i assumed it was a bathhouse in the 80s type of way and i was heartbroken because i really wanted in on both the gay sex part and the bathhouse part. turns out they dont do the gay sex part anymore! so now ive been obsessed with the idea of having a beast mode workout on a saturday, getting crazy sore, going in on a sunday, and letting the heat from the russian turkish bathhouse touch me in places i've never been touched before. none of my friends want to go with me because they think it sounds "unsanitary" and "torturous" 🙄 WHATEVER!!! they just don't have the spirit of a warrior. a little scared to go bc everyone they post on their instagram looks like the have an equinox membership but at the end of the day in the banya we all семья

i want to gatekeep but in the spirit of PI i am going to say..... the russian & turkish baths on e 10th st has it all: unflattering green shorts, old ukranian men, a truly awful lingering sweaty stench, a deli, a cold plunge i lasted all of 20 seconds in, walkability from my apartment, and an undeniable sense of camaraderie & community ..... 10/10 no notes

Bathhouse's are a great way to wind down from a busy week so I make it a habit to go every Sunday night. It’s a great way to catch up one on one with a friend, without distractions. And you get the best sleep over your life afterwards. I also feel like this is a “New York Thing” to take advantage of because there are so many great options. Personally, I love Spa88 in the financial district but oftentimes visit the one in the east village as well.

its the best way to consume media. DONT show me a trailer DONT let me read the flap on the inside of the novel DONT tell me there’s even an alien in it. Dont tell me what it’s about just be like “it’s good you should check it out”
