Wall Street Bath House
30 August 2008
When a friend gets married the hens roost.
As is tradition before upcoming nuptials, the female friends of the bride-to-be take her out for a bachelorette/hen party. My friend Elaine is getting married next month, so we decided to take her out to the Wall Street Bath House instead of a penis-laden, booze-infused night on the town (much to the bride-to-be's liking). Over the course of three hours at the bath house, we plunged into the pool, marinated in the jacuzzi, basked in the Russian and American saunas, got lost in the steam room and threw ourselves into the frigid water of the cold water pool to invigorate ourselves and give Elaine a proper send off before she ties the knot. The Wall Street Bath House is conveniently located on Fulton Street very close to South Street Seaport. The entire operation is located underground so as the hustle and bustle of tourists, businessmen and Pace students hurry along the streets above, you can let it all go and forget that you are even in the gritty city. You walk upstairs after a day at the bath house and everything just slows down for you. You are relaxed...and very thirsty. The first time I went to the bath house was during a freezing day this past winter. When I left, my whole body was warm and toasty having been warmed from the inside and it felt fantastic to be surrounded by the cold air. Public bath houses have been around for hundreds of years and are a part of the cultural history of so many countries. Study history, go bath housing!
