Know before you go

An 1892 East Village institution: Russian radiant-heat room, Turkish steam, sauna, and an icy plunge pool. Gritty, historic, beloved. Cash-friendly; check gender/co-ed hours.

☀︎ First-timer tip: Do the Russian Room, then the cold plunge, and repeat. Go off-peak; weekends are packed. Old-school and unforgettable.
