Ways to fend off Boston’s winter chill

Did you know the average temperature in January in Boston is approximately 29 degrees Fahrenheit?  If time, money or work have conspired to make it impossible to escape Boston’s brutal winters, I have a few more affordable options on ways you can warm up.  I plan on checking out one or more of these options this year and below I encourage you to leave additional suggestions in the comments section for other readers.

Hot tubInman Oasis at 243 Hampshire Street in Cambridge is a great option.  Warm up in their Japanese-style 2-person hot tub. At $65 for 60-minutes this seems like a fantastic and affordable option.  For more information, visit their website at www.inmanoasis.com.

Dillons Russian Steam BathDillon’s Russian Steam Bath in Chelsea at 77 Chestnut Street has been providing Russian Steam Baths to the Boston community for more than 120 years; making it the oldest steam bath house in the United States.

Tuesday – Sunday Dillons is open for men ONLY. Monday is reserved for the ladies. Admission is very affordable – $23, but for more information visit their website, www.dillonsrussiansteambath.com.

Boston Bikram YogaBikram Yoga Boston allows you to stretch and get more physically fit in their heated studios.  Classes at Boston’s only certified Bikram Yoga schools run 90-minutes and will leave you feeling warmed to your core and start at $22 for a single class. Discounts are offered for purchasing multiple classes.  More details about Bikram Yoga, when and where these are hosted can be found online at www.bikramyogaboston.com.

Please feel free to share your favorite spots around Boston to fend off the chill of winter and stay warm.

    A big sleeping bag capable of whit standing freezing temperatures. Last night was -31F with the wind chill in Montreal…cuddling with your significant other…homemade hot chocolate, many with a dash of Hazelnut Baileys…in front of the fireplace… That’s about it I think.
