After my first half marathon, I really wanted to take recovery seriously, which meant no running for a whole week. But it also meant taking off from work the next day and going to a spa.
I didn’t choose any old spa but the AIRE Ancient Baths in Tribeca. I found a GILT deal for it ahead of time which allows me to save a little. I did the 120 minutes and a massage.
What I like about AIRE is the vibe since it’s inspired by the tradition of baths from ancient Roman, Greek and Ottoman civilizations. There are a few different pools including a sensory floating pool (my fave), a whirl pool, pools of various degrees of temperature to shock your muscles.
Of course there are no camera allowed but the dressing room has many amazing amenities- including that Dyson hairdryer I love. Feel pampered for the day and enjoy this ancient ritual of treating yourself by taking care of your body.
