You guys are really hilarious. I'm not really sure if I want to get a massage from some buff Russian dude, either, but you pay extra for that, anyway, so just open your minds a little concerning the rest. :cheers:
I wonder if MameMaster has ever been there or heard of the place? He lives in Manhattan.
Anyway, for the cheapest and potentially best beer selection in NYC, go to the Brooklyn Brewery and take a tour. They have a bar there and you can get really tipsy in the afternoon, then spend the rest of the day wandering the nearby punk/artist neighborhood and really interesting Hasidic (sp?) neighborhoods.

Yep it's called Williamsburg.
And they are called Hipsters(the pseudo kool kids).

Yeah, exactly, and that's actually a pretty neat place, especially if you're a little tired of the Manhattan hustle.

I agree, I live right next door in Greenpoint.
If you do make it out to williamsburg at the end of north 8th street, there is a nice little park that just opened with a nice view of lower manhattan. Just make a left onto 8th street right off of Bedford ave when you get off the L train. Go all the way to the end.

From the Russian Bath web site:
--------------------------------------
"Platza Oak Leaf"
Lie down while in the Russian steam room and a platza specialist will scrub you (actually beat you) with a broom made of fresh oak leaves, sopping with olive oil soap. The oak leaves contain a natural astringent, which will open your pours, remove toxins, and actually take off layers of dead skin. Some described the platza as "Jewish acupuncture".
