New York City's Sob Parlour provides a paid place for people to cry in peace
CBSN
You might have heard of rage rooms — places you can go to smash things to relieve some stress — but how about a place to go cry in peace and comfort?
That's the concept behind Sob Parlour in New York City, an idea that came to founder Anthony Villiotti after a mini-breakdown of his own a few months ago. Locations pop up around New York City with the most recent advertised for the city's financial district.
"You cry. You let it all out," Villiotti told CBS News. "I found tremendous benefit in crying, and I wondered what if people did it as more of a practice versus a reaction."
