The EV outpost of Montauk Salt Cave has closed (without notice to patrons, per one reader) on the upper level at 90 E. 10th St. between Third Avenue and Fourth Avenue.
The Montauk-based wellness sanctuary, which featured walls built with pink Himalayan salt rocks, opened here in August 2017. Per their website, salt therapy purportedly heals ailments related to respiratory disease, skin conditions and inflammatory symptoms.
Meanwhile, in No. 90's lower level... work continues on Claud ... a new restaurant opening soon via Momofuku Ko vets Josh Pinsky and Chase Sinzer ...

Wow - what did they do with all that salt I wonder? There was a LOT of it in that spa
I tried the salt cave once bc I was so intrigued. It was a GIANT beautiful room with pink salt walls, filled wall to wall with salt crystals. You pick a reclining lounger or bed and then...you just sit. That's it, for an hour. It felt like how they used to think "the waters" would cure your tuberculosis in the early 20th century.
Jen,
Heh. I tried it once too ... a friend suggested it for my seasonal allergies 😍 ... maybe I needed to go 50x to notice anything. Pleasant enough though. Also, the Salt Cave rep suggested that I lie on the floor with a blanket to be closer to the salt!
I never heard of it before know wish they done better advertising for this place would have given it a try I prefer natural healing of the pharmaceutical kind
Amazed the salt place lasted that long. With Covid, I wouldn't have gone in there for any reason.
There was a salt spa in Chelsea that closed. I went a few times on a Groupon. It really did help my sinuses and was a mood elevator, something to do with negative ions generated with the salt. Maybe people can think it is bunk, but places like that have a long history in Russia and Eastern Europe. They are way ahead of us in my opinion because our society is dominated by the drug companies.
The newer version of those floating isolation tank places.
I went to that one that used to be on (I think) second Ave? somewhere around 10th street, back in the day?
