Dirty NYC: Leisure Spas

I love the term "leisure spa". Its so very Steely Dan. You know, sounds really tame on the surface, but the more you think about it, the more creepy it gets? Like ALL Steely Dan's songs?

Um. Time cant enter but i bet crabs can!

And btw, i think i would have to be ON FIRE to jump in that bath.
Make sure you watch till the end for the comment about what 2 dollars can get a "sex man".

Eastern vibe not your thing? Here's a greco-roman themed leisure spa.


Plato's Retreat/ Continental Baths


Bleach (and how there isnt enough of it in the world to get me to sit on those couches) is what comes to mind when i watch this. In fact, this is why i will never buy used furniture. Because there is a CHANCE, however slight, that it came from here.

If that other Grecian Spa was Steely Dan, this place is a band that hasn't been invented yet. A place where you could discuss Kant with someone and do other things i Kant mention here. Did you dig my stupid pun? I didn't either. Actually, the Baths are a pretty central part of NYC history: despite all the dirty dirty, some serious talent blew through those doors. Wow, 2 stupid puns in one paragraph. A personal best.

Im quitting while im ahead here.
So here's a film about Times Square and SEX that assumes we as Americans have reached our "sexual maturity".
We haven't.
