"The Russian & Turkish Baths are, in a way, a microcosm of what it’s like to live in New York — it’s on you to find calm within the chaos of so many bodies darting from room to room during primetime. As at several of the New York spots like it, restorative snacks can be found at its bathhouse cafe. This weekend, friends and I stopped by to share bowls of pierogi and pelmeni ($8-$10 per order, served with a side of sour cream and stuffed with potato or meat) in between stints in the sauna and sweating out our sins." - Eater Staff
