The Russian Bath House

What an experience today has been. So we all know NYC has everything and anything you could possibly need want or desire. Which is wonderful for adventures and good times. This afternoon we made our way over to the East Village to dabble in the world of Russian and Turkish bath houses. You basically go down into an indoor pool style area where there are five different steam rooms and saunas. There are aromatherapy steams, red wood saunas, Turkish rooms, and the Russian rooms. That one was absolutely the hottest room I have ever been in. It gets so hot that there is a constant supply of freezing cold water that you need to continuously dump on yourself so you don't burn your skin. Then you just rotate from room to room and sweat your little booty off along with all the toxins that have entered your body in the last week. Talk about rejuvenating. It was definitely a once in a life time experience that I was glad to indulge in. From my sources I hear experiencing the bath house in Russia is much more intriguing and legit. But I think today totally passed my expectations and I enjoyed it immensely. Plus we made some darling Russian friends who worked there which made it all that much more lovely.
