NoMad NYC is the area positioned around Madison Square Park. It has been a major city crossroad since the end of the 18th Century when the Boston Post Road met Bloomingdale Road (now Broadway) at 23rd Street. In the 19th Century, the area became the cultural center of the city and the home of the city’s leading families. As the 20th Century dawned, the area gradually gave way to the city’s first skyscrapers and the first office space in Madison Square became available. The area has remained a center of business, shopping, restaurants, theatres and nightlife into the 21st Century.

Here, in the middle of the historic districts of Chelsea, Gramercy and Flatiron, the area around and north of Madison Park has been developing into the city’s next hot neighborhood.  Called NoMad since at least 1999 (see presentation on the rise of NoMad), the area has unparalleled access to subway and bus lines. Businesses of all types and sizes are taking office spaces in NoMad, from financial and insurance industry giants to architects, high tech companies and advertising agencies.  It enjoys a particular vibrancy as the home of leading colleges and art schools, a surging gallery community and many of the city’s au courant restaurants. NoMad is one of the most desirable and exciting living, working and playing neighborhoods in New York.
