Banya 5
Global warming means cold winters. A recession means busting
your butt at work so you don't get a pink slip. Banya 5, means extreme
relaxation to help you forget about these trying times. Unwind like a gangster
in this authentic Russian bathhouse. If you want a deep tissue massage or salt
scrub, you might have to tap the mattress bank. But you can spend all day in
hydrotherapy for only $35. The entry fee includes the hot tub, steam room,
tepid pool, sauna and cold plunge. You'll feel a little like a brick oven pizza
in the 200 degree sauna, but a dip in the cold plunge will cool you right off.
After that, the tepid pool will feel like a hot tub. Take a break from all that
detox with a cup of tea in the lounge. You don't even have to change out of
your swimsuit. You'll be so warm when you leave that every room you'll be in
for the next several hours will become a steam room. This is exactly how the
Russians survive their winter. Well, that and the vodka.
