Break out your bikini or swim trunks, and join our hand-picked crowd of artsy, funky (and nearly naked) New Yorkers for the glorious return of Gemini & Scorpio’s legendary Russian Baths party.
We will have the newly remodeled & sparkling clean baths to ourselves, with a few hand-picked professionals on hand for the optional platzas and massages. Enjoy: Russian, Turkish and Swedish steam rooms, jacuzzi and cold plunge pool; poolside dance floor; rooftop smoking deck; hookah lounge and chillout rooms; authentic and delicious Russian food in a private restaurant room with a view of the dance floor.
Raya Brass Band, the newest fiery Balkan band to come out of the village of Brooklyn, will get you sweating faster than the saunas with swirling, dynamic music of northern Greece, the southern Balkans and the Romany people, playing two sets, 10pm and 12am.
DJ Joro-Boro, former resident DJ of the infamous Mehanata (Bulgarian Bar), keeps the dance floor sizzling with his hot EthnoMesh Megalophonia mix till 2am as we dole out free pierogies for everyone. There will be an open vodka bar 9:30-10:30pm.
