While New York City is full of exciting neighborhoods, SUITE New York is incredibly lucky to call the “NoMad” district its home. The name “NoMad” is derived from the area’s location which is North and West of Madison Square Park. The neighborhood extends approximately from 25th Street to 30th Street between The Avenue of the Americas (Sixth Avenue) and Lexington Avenue. And although it has some competition from trendy bordering neighbors including Chelsea, Midtown South, Murray Hill and the Flatiron District, you can rest assured that the NoMad District is just as unique as its name. Feeling skeptical? Read the facts (in no particular order):
