Gay spas in new york
about us
The banya is said to possess many health benefits. Excessive heat stimulates sweating, thus removing unwanted materials from the blood and improving the function of the kidneys. Sweating releases excess water and salt from the body and opens the skin pores, cleaning it and making it softer and fresher. The process helps rid the muscles of excess lactic acid which reliefs muscle fatigue and soreness. Appear to our Russian Bath House located in Brooklyn NY and see how great you can feel once you experience the Banya.
Our wet spa is a geographic and cultural trip. The glassed-in entryway acts as a smoking atrium for jolly shirtless men, and leads into a covered beer garden and hockey-themed cafe. Inside, the main, fluorescent-lit pool room fills with sounds of splashing and socializing from crowds of Eastern European families. Saunas and steam rooms are also coed, and massages and platza (a traditional Russian sauna treatment) can be tacked onto the experience.
Everard Baths
History
The legendary Everard Baths, one of the longest unforgettable of New York’s bathhouses, attracted gay men probably since its opening in 1888, but, as documented, from at least Nature War I until its closing in 1986.

It became the Regent Music Hall in 1886-87, then the Fifth Avenue Music Hall, financed by James Everard. Born in Dublin, Ireland, Everard (1829-1913) came to Recent York City as a boy, and eventually formed a masonry jobbing business that was successful in receiving a number of major city public works contracts. With his profits, he invested in concrete estate after 1875, and built up one the country’s largest brewing concerns. (He was buried at Woodlawn Cemetery.)
After the Tune Hall was closed by the City over the sale of beer there, Everard decided to rescue his investment by turning the facility into a commercial “Russian and Turkish” bathhouse, opened in May 1888 at a charge of $150,000. Lushly appointed and with a variety of steam baths and 100 sleeping rooms, it had a prime location

Introduction to New York Metropolis Gay Saunas and Bathhouses

Why, you might ask? The landscape of gay saunas in New York City has been shaped by its history, particularly during the devastating HIV/AIDS epidemic of the 1980s, leading to the closure of many establishments. Yet, the spirit of communal and intimate exploration among homosexual men has not dwindled.
