"If you come to the Russian and Turkish Baths expecting soothing balms, thick towels, and gentle ministrations of flower-scented infusions, head elsewhere. This is a rough-hewn place -- and proud of it."

I'm walking every street in New York City.
This is the counterpoint to my walk across the US. Instead of seeing a million places for just a minute each, I'm going to spend a million minutes exploring just one place. By the time I finish walking every block of every street in all five boroughs, I'll have traveled more than 8,000 miles on foot — all within a single city. Details!

Your donations allow me to keep walking full-time. If you think what I'm doing is valuable and you'd like to offer some support, I would be very grateful. On the other hand, if you think I'm a worthless bum, feel free to email me and tell me to get a job, bozo. Both are excellent options!
Laughing at one of the comments on the link .. “The masseuse is a burly Russian who has me lie on a firm padded table. He pounds my body like a piece of veal. He uses his fingers to massage my muscles so deeply that it feels like he is trying to attack my vital organs. I tell him to let up and he does a bit, but I leave there wishing I had stuck to the birch branch whipping.”
