Timeline
15:15
Sweat it out at the Russian & Turkish Baths. This is the time to use the sauna and steam rooms to relax your muscles and clear your head before the evening crowds arrive.
17:15
Walk five minutes to Ukrainian East Village for a late dinner. The spacious dining room with high ceilings and chandeliers offers a pleasant, Old World elegance. Order traditional Eastern European fare to refuel after your session.
18:15
Head to East River Park to catch the sunset. The park is a little rough and ready, but the Promenade offers nice views of the skyline as the sun dips toward the west. This is the perfect spot to watch the sky change color.
19:00
End the night at International Bar. It is one of the few bars in the East Village that isn't overrun by loud groups, making it a calm place to unwind. It stays open until 04:00, so you can linger as long as you like.
Local tip
The Russian & Turkish Baths have no posted hours in the context, so check the route or call ahead to book your session. International Bar is a quiet retreat if you want to avoid the typical East Village noise.
