A neighbor emails to recommend the "ultimate Kensington hipster event" this Saturday night at the Russian baths on Coney Island Avenue between Beverley Road and Avenue C:
I went to this event pre-baby a couple of years back when it was held in the Russian Baths in the East Village. Incredible party! Live music, food, vodka, massages, IN THE BATH HOUSE! Pricey, but so worth it.
Much more on the party, with tickets at $40, here, along with this description:
An expertly DJ'd dance party blowout, our last Banya party till fall, and a chance to sweat out the last of winter's grime.
Break out your bikini or swim trunks, and join our hand-picked crowd of artsy, funky (and nearly naked) New Yorkers for our last legendary Russian Baths party of the season. We will have the newly remodeled & sparkling clean baths to ourselves, with every steam room and sauna ready to please, plus a few hand-picked professionals on hand for the optional platzas and massages. The dance floor will get you sweating faster than the saunas with former Bulgarian Bar resident DJ Joro Boro throwing down brass freakout, slum funk carioca, bangin bhangra, percussion insurgency, and cumbia from south of the wall: an uninhibited globalized party fed back into music without borders. Plus, enjoy: jacuzzi and cold plunge pool; poolside lounge; rooftop smoking deck; hookah lounge and chillout room....

This is the kind of party you always imagine, but can never quite find in real life...and may be the only one where you'll come out cleaner than when you came in.
