Mermaid Spa
Old-world Russian banya out by Coney Island
Mermaid Spa is a beloved old-world Russian bathhouse out by Coney Island, in the Sea Gate neighborhood — a cozy, lodge-like banya that regulars rank among the best in the city. Inside are three steam rooms, a dry sauna, a Turkish bath, two ice-water plunge pools, and a hot jacuzzi, with a restaurant serving hearty Eastern European fare. The signature is the platza, an oak-leaf venik treatment over intense heat. Come for the day and rotate between heat, cold, and the table.
