Details last checked

The Russian & Turkish Baths on East 10th Street is one of the oldest continuously operating bathhouses in the United States, with a Russian room, Turkish steam, sauna, redwood room and an ice-cold plunge pool on a shared walk-in floor at $60 admission, robe and towels included. It runs co-ed most of the week with two single-sex windows, and publishes no room temperatures.

How it compares in New York

Its $60 drop-in sits above the New York median of $50, across the 7 studios here that publish one. It does not publish a plunge temperature (8 of the 34 New York studios we track do) — worth asking when you book. Communal access puts it with 23 of the 34 studios we track here; the rest run a different model.
