Review:

Get a true-blue Russian experience from within New Jersey at Bear and Birch , a traditional Russian Banya armed with a custom-made brick and stone oven that would have undoubtedly earned praise from the Czars themselves. A banya can be best described as the Russian version of a spa, with the main draw being brick oven heated steam rooms which are often followed by a plunge into a cold pool. Of the many treatments available at Bear and Birch, some of the more popular treatments include a traditional Russian Branch treatment called a Parka and the Deep Tissue or Aromatherapy massages. No visit to Bear and Birch is complete with grabbing a meal at their on-site restaurant which offers authentic Russian fare like Chebureki, Solenia, and Buzhenina, as well as heavier meals like Perogis, Shashliks, and Pelmeni Dumplings.
