The Russian & Turkish Baths are a bathhouse in the East Village neighborhood of Manhattan in New York City. ^{[1] [2] [3]}

The Russian & Turkish Baths are run on alternate weeks by the two owners, Boris Tuberman and David Shapiro. ^[3] There are differences between the "Boris weeks" and "David weeks" in that the "David weeks" have digital swipe passes for admission while the "Boris weeks" are more old-school. As of 2024, the businesses are still run separately, with one currently run by Boris' grandson, Julius Tuberman-Solon, and the other by David's sons, Dmitry and Jack. ^[3]
