About place:
If you want a piece of bathing history, City Spa — formerly known as Pico Burnside Baths — is where you find it. This is a classic Russian-Jewish banya, the kind of place where Leonard Koren of WET hosted bathing parties; The food is not an afterthought, don’t miss the pierogies. If you can get a massage with Vlad or Serge, clear your schedule: it’s an all-day affair in the best possible sense. City Spa is coed during women’s hours on Saturday, Monday, and Wednesday nights. It makes an exceptional birthday party venue for those who appreciate the ritual. Also Sonoratown up the road for the best bean and cheese burritos in LA.
