Editorial Review for Wall Street Bath & Spa 88 – by Joanna Prisco
In Short
A pink and turquoise reception area welcomes all-age visitors into this traditional Russian bathhouse. Memberships and day passes include access to the Russian and Turkish saunas and steam rooms (or "banya") for shvitzing and schmoozing. Platza--an ancient treatment that kneads your back with softened oak leaves to detoxify and relax the body--increases the day's restorative benefits, as do dips in the junior Olympic-size and cold-plunge pools. A baroque smoking lounge rounds out the Old-World relaxation.

I'm not sure what others are talking about but this is by far the dirtiest spa i've ever seen!!! If you want a real 'banya' experience, go to 10th street. They don't try to be something they are not! It's plain, clean and deliveres. Here, you get....nothing! Ando sorry, $36 for a filthy pool, jacuzzi and 2 steam rooms is waaaay too much.

Spa 88 is a no-frills place. Don't expect elaborate tile or breathtaking decor. This place offers fantastic Russian sauna, that by far has the best heat in NYC! The place is clean, people are friendly, and on weekends the crowd is young. I strongly recommend this banya!
Pros: Fantastic heat
Cons: tough to find parking
