Gemini & Scorpio present Steamy Dance Night at the Russian Baths
Break out your bikini or swim trunks, and join our hand-picked crowd of artsy, funky New Yorkers for the glorious return of Gemini & Scorpio's legendary Russian Baths party.
We will have the newly remodeled & sparkling clean baths to ourselves, with a few hand-picked professionals on hand for the optional platzas and massages. Enjoy:
Inside, a live gypsy band and a Balkan/ethno-mesh DJ get you sweating faster than the saunas, while we dole out free pierogies for everyone. There will be an open vodka bar 9:30-10:30pm.
- Russian, Turkish and Swedish steam rooms
- jacuzzi and cold plunge pool
- poolside dance floor
- rooftop smoking deck
- hookah lounge and chillout rooms upstairs
- authentic and delicious Russian food in a private restaurant room with a view of the dance floor.
This is the kind of party you always imagine, but can never quite find in real life...and the only one where you'll come out cleaner than when you came in.
Only 100 tix on presale; 50 more at door. Be the first to grab them online and get lucky with a discount: password "steamy" gets you $10 off two tickets, for a limited time.

We're writing to MillionTreesNYC Stewards and residents who have expressed interest in tree stewardship to let you know about a great opportunity to pick up FREE mulch for your new street trees this fall!
This Saturday, October 16th, MillionTreesNYC will be hosting a table at the Red Hook Added Value Community Farm's Harvest Festival near the Brooklyn waterfront from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM. The event will feature live music, a cider press, kids activities, and lots of games and giveaways. There will also be a farmer's market with fresh produce!
Please BRING A STURDY BAG with you to receive free mulch (created from chipped trees which fell during last month's storm) for the trees in your community.
The Added Value Community Farm is located between Columbia, Sigourney, Otsego, and Halleck Streets in Red Hook, Brooklyn (right across the street from the Ikea store). For more information regarding this year's Harvest Festival, please visit Added Value's website: http://www.added-value.org/.
And keep an eye on the MillionTreesNYC Community Calendar for more fall planting and stewardship opportunities: http://www.nyc.gov/portal/site/nycgov/menuitem.5ceeec019daf48a37a9977e346a09da0 .
A few tips for good mulching:· Mulching a tree helps to conserve soil moisture so that the need for watering is reduced. It also insulates the soil’s surface, helping to retain warmth during the winter months. Because mulch will not compete for water and nutrients as living vegetation does, the organic materials that compose it will prevent the growth of invasive weeds and grass in the tree pit.· Refresh the mulch ring around the base of your trees. Apply mulch in a ring at least 6 inches from the base of the tree trunk (do not let the mulch touch the tree itself). Cover the soil outside of the ring out to the edge of the bed with 2-4 inches of mulch. Never pile mulch more than 4 inches high; go by what we like to call “the rule of the donut” when mulching trees. Remember: better a donut than a volcano!Happy mulching!Sincerely,The MillionTreesNYC Team
To the Editor:
In the article "Living In - Borough Park, Brooklyn," Gregory Beyer describes the boundaries of Borough Park as "Bounded by Fort Hamilton Parkway to the west, 60th Street to the south, McDonald Avenue and Bay Parkway to the east, and McDonald Avenue to the north."
However, the New York City Department of Housing Preservation & Development defines Kensington's boundaries as "Green-Wood cemetery and Caton Avenue to the north; Prospect Park, the Parade grounds and Kensington stables to the northeast; Coney Island Avenue to the east; Foster Avenue and 47th Street to the south; and Dahill Road and 36th Street to the west."
The description and the map accompanying Mr. Beyer's article, therefore, incorrectly place a portion of Kensington in Borough Park.

Bike riding hints
Hey this is a great idea, and keep it up, however as a long time cyclist, I almost can't enjoy the vids, because of your horrific riding.
Please ride on the same side of the road as traffic, obey all the signs and lights that the cars do, don't weave in and out going the wrong way, don't go up onto the sidewalk (or even in the street) and cut off pedestrians. Ride with/learn from an expert (I'm sure there are many in NYC!) and then film.
Unfortunately you are setting a terrible example for other riders, (esp kids), and you are not only endangering yourself, but people walking, and even cars that you are causing to swerve to avoid you. Even other cyclists are endangered because the people in cars are being reinforced that bicycles don't follow the rules, so why should they treat you (us) with respect as another vehicle?
Don't get too mad or disappointed at this criticism, Your idea is still fabulous, just remember you can also do a great thing by also teaching safety and proper cycling etiquette along with the tours!
