Break out your bikini or swim trunks, and join us and our hand-picked crowd of artsy, different, funky (and nearly naked) New Yorkers for Gemini & Scorpio's legendary Russian Baths party (as seen in The Village Voice "Best of 2006").
We will have the newly remodeled & sparkling clean baths to ourselves, with every steam room and sauna ready to please, plus a few hand-picked professionals on hand for the optional platzas and massages. There are three levels and multiple rooms to the space: Russian, Turkish and Swedish steam rooms, jacuzzi and cold plunge pool; the poolside lounge and the dance floor; hookah & chillout lounges upstairs; plus the rooftop smoking deck.
Inside, The Sway Machinery, with members of Balkan Beat Box, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Arcade Fire and Antibalas, will get you sweating faster than the saunas with the sounds of Malian guitars, Saharan beats, Afro-pop horns and the Blues (playing two sets, at 10pm and 12am). DJ Reagonomics, much-loved resident of the famously variety-obsessed Rubulad parties, keeps the dance floor sizzling till 2am with kuduro, juke, batucada, cumbia, bhangra and other examples of regional underground shake appeal, while we dole out free pierogies for everyone. There will be an open vodka bar 10-11pm, featuring homemade infused vodkas in pomegranate blackberry and ginger flavors.
Only 120 tickets are available, and most parties sell out in advance. Cost: $95 VIP ticket (7pm entry + open vodka bar + authentic multi-course Russian dinner...with the band) /$55 regular ticket (9pm entry + open vodka bar) / $35 discount ticket (11pm entry). More details on each ticket tier are on our website.
This is the kind of party you always imagine, but can never quite find in real life...and may be the only one where you'll come out cleaner than when you came in.
PLEASE NOTE: DUE TO THE NATURE OF THIS EVENT, ALL MEDIA QUERIES MUST BE APPROVED WITH THE ORGANIZERS.
