Entry No. 41 — the Detroit file — filed under: soak

The Schvitz

Operating since 1930, this legendary, once-notorious bathhouse is Detroit's last remaining historic steam room, offering a deeply offbeat, subterranean sanctuary of ancient heat therapies.

The move: Book a co-ed public session on a Monday or Friday evening to sweat out your stress in the intense 210-degree steam room, take a plunge in the icy pool, and share a late-night healthy bite in their cozy, robe-only lounge.
