And they’re a group activity, like getting a mani-pedi with your mother-in-law, hence the semi-open area where they take place. In Korean bath house ( jimjilbang) culture, body scrubs are the closest a mammal can get to shedding her exoskeleton. This is also where the body scrubs take place. The scrubs: Within the locker rooms is an area called the “Bath Houses” which includes a few hot tubs, two cold tubs, a sauna, and a steam room. There are also showers and bathrooms where you can slip your bare toes into paper slippers in case you’re afraid of pee splatter underfoot. The locker rooms: Pick up your robe and towel here. There are many water fountains, and you sweat so much you need to be chugging the stuff. A deep moisturizer! Most important: An empty water bottle, airport-style. Preferred toiletries, although they also have soaps in the shower stalls in the locker rooms, plus hair dryers. Swimsuit (or you can opt for a SoJo-provided cotton spa-outfit thong bottoms and other “overly exposing swimwear” are forbidden, as is sportswear.) A book. Hey, still cheaper than Broadway tickets and dinner, and you can stay ALL DAY LONG. However, I’d argue you shouldn’t go without having a scrub for $115 plus tip, and you’re probably going to smash on $20–30 worth of food and drink since outside food isn’t allowed.
The cost: $60 on a weekday, $80 on the weekend. However, weekends are wild and the shuttle can fill up by Tuesday - book ahead! There’s also a ferry between Edgewater and Midtown West that would require hopping on a quick bus, or walking 17 minutes. Or if you’re coming from Manhattan, there’s a free shuttle van from Midtown usually every hour in both directions.
