Did you watch the video? You should totally watch the video.
Also, you don't have to be bougie to want nice things. I completely reject the notion that only grungy things can are worth while.
Cool! Maybe if I'm convinced that they are cooler than their website design I'll check it out, branding and marketing are importantIf it's new Russian it sounds cool. The website makes it not look rad like that.
Sent from my iPhonejust wanted to chime in having frequented the archimedes banya, the russian turkish bathouse in NYC, and having been to russia few times. I can most def. back Sonja's assertion that the banya in question certainly not "bougie", but more "new russian". The historical context and intersections between these two descriptions is another discussion, but if anything I'd describe the clientele at the Russian-Turkish bathhouse in NYC as more "bougie".After all, it's the bourgeois who is concerned with unobtainable authenticity, right?mOn Tue, Apr 1, 2014 at 5:55 PM, Romy Snowyla <romy@snowyla.com> wrote:
Alls fair! Bathhouses are expensive to runWell I'm not sure it's my kind of place. The marketing was a big turn off ... Onwards pirates there are bathhouses in the east bay!
Sent from my iPhonethe NYC bath house costs $35 to get in, the one here is $30. Russians love fancy shit, and building and running a bathhouse is expensive. There is no russian analogue to our American fetishization of financial insecurity.
When I went to Moscow I was surprised to see that 5'8" looked like the median height for a man my age there. Then someone pointed out that we were teens in the 90s, when almost 50% of Russians were living under their poverty line. I was seeing the long term result of a generation starving during their growing years.

I'm interested in the real deal bathhouses with working class Russian guys splashing themselves east village style .., not so much where a tech girl like me would pay for $200 yoga classes with my girlfriend sex in the city style or getting my douchebag boyfriend to pay for me with his bonus .. :)Let's find a punk rock spa! Oh wait isn't Andrew founding one?
Sent from my iPhoneYou have to be silent at the Japanese one. And it's not co-ed, so my male friends report a very strong pick up vibe.

http://www.kabukisprings.comIs Kabuki springs any good?I'm highly into this Russian Bath / Turkish bath experience.Turkish bathhouses kept my sanity during cold Berlin winters... I think the post-bathhouse experience drinking wine and eating cake with our toes curled around persian carpets is just as awesome..On Fri, Feb 14, 2014 at 9:55 PM, Andrew <andrew@roshambomedia.com> wrote:It looks awesome.

You have to ask for it.A lot if people wear bathing suits especially lately. But also a lot if ppl take them off after a while when they realize it is normal to be naked.It's funny, I was there once thinking, "obviously this isn't a sex bathhouse, there are women here." Because an all male bathhouse would obv be for gay sex. Ha.
