Do bathhouses still exist in NYC?
A bathhouse is a facility where people can go to bathe, often featuring various amenities such as hot baths, saunas, and steam rooms. In the context of New York City, traditional bathhouses have largely disappeared, but some modern spas and wellness centers offer similar services. Bathhouses are all about communal gathering, with shared pools, saunas and steam rooms where people can socialize and recharge. Spas, on the other hand, typically only offer private treatment rooms where guests receive individual services, which tend to be isolating.
