VIDHYA NAGARAJAN | NEW YORKERS SOAK UP THE SAUNA FOR THE NEW YORK TIMES

March 30, 2026 Vidhya Nagarajan

What a fun day #lcmartist Vidhya Nagarajan & Editor Sarah Bahr had at Domino Park while researching for the next drawn journalism Sketch Pad for The New York Times. They got to check out the sauna village on the Williamsburg waterfront last month, where people in swimsuits and towel wraps darted between saunas amid the snow piles! The feature is called “Yearning for Sun, New Yorkers Soak up the Sauna: After a stretch of cold weather, the Culture of Bathe-ing Festival’s waterfront gathering brought out the swimsuits and a different kind of chill.”
