Comings and goings on 10th Street: Montauk Salt Cave closes; and a new restaurant from 2 Momofuku vets

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 ... 

You can sign up for updates via the Claud website... or follow the restaurant's Instagram account.

A primer via the always-reliable Wikipedia:

Halotherapy, derived from the Greek halos, meaning "salt," is a form of alternative medicine which makes use of salt. Numerous forms of halotherapy have been known of and used for millennia. One finds the first mentions of spa resorts in Poland in records dating from the twelfth century. They relate to bathing in mineral waters.

Here's the deal:

Here at Montauk Salt Cave, we guarantee a relaxing experience that is also healing. Our walls are built with all pink Himalayan salt rocks and the floor is covered with salt. Our sessions are 45 minutes long. You will enter the cave and sit in a zero gravity chair. You will be surrounded by tons of salt and begin to heal. All you have to do is sit back, relax and breathe.

You can find more info on them via Facebook or the Cave's official website.
