Skaters!
We've been talking and talking about it...so, I am proposing a date - December

Those of you, who already feel cold and can stand the heat, please keep on
reading:
Address: 1200 Gravesend Neck Road, Brooklyn NY 11229

Directions:
- Q train to Neck Road stop - if you are coming from Manhattan, please take the
train(last 3 cars) to Sheepshead Bay station and transfer to Manhattan bound
train for (1) stop.
- Walk West (street numbers descending) just past 13th Street on Gravesend Neck
Road.

1 hour massage: $70, 45 min - $55, 30min - $40
Facilities: big swimming pool, wet and dry Russian baths, sauna, outdoor seating
area, hockey-themed cafe, juice bar
This is the oldest Russian Bath in Brooklyn. One interesting feature of this
bath is its hockey theme. Framed jerseys of famous Russian players decorate the
walls and the cafe floor is tiled white with red and blue lines to resemble a
hockey rink. There are even goals on either side of the cafe.
We will spend at least 4 hours steaming, swimming, chilling, etc.
If anyone will have time to eat - we will do it in their cafe. I'd say it is at
least $30 to $50 for dinner, depending on your appetite.
Those who are going to come, please respond with confirmation.
You only need to bring your swimwear, beach sandals(if you prefer, otherwise you
can use house sandals). You will get unlimited towels and for $5 you can rent a
bath robe.
Hope to see you there!
