It is so wonderful that you shared this, thanks Jack! Don’t be too disheartened – the tenth street baths still have gender specific hours. Perhaps you are due a visit and some rooftop relaxation.

Bathing establishments of this type were not uncommon on the Lower East Side during the early part of the twentieth century, in part due to limited bathing facilities in apartments and as a hold over tradition, especially for Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe, where a visit to the “schvitz” was a regular weekly event. I remember as a pre teen back in the 1940’s joining my late father on one of his regular outings to the Tenth Street Baths. Little had changed since than by my last visit about ten years ago except that it was no longer gender specific.
