Things To Do in Nomad and Midtown Manhattan

The Best Activities to Enhance Your Stay

Over the past few years, NoMad has established itself as one of New York City’s trendiest neighborhoods, perfectly balancing Manhattan energy, cultural attractions, and unmatched convenience. It sits in the city’s new Design District, where you’ll find innovative companies that are revitalizing the area’s historic buildings and beloved architecture. Explore the array of design studios and furniture showrooms that line the surrounding streets and avenues, and see what the city’s leading creators and artisans are up to.

This central Manhattan location gives you access to many of New York City’s best experiences, including the iconic Empire State Building just three blocks away, which is visible from some of our specialty view guestrooms and suites. Browse the luxury shops of Fifth Avenue, stroll along the NoMad Piazza, savor the exotic flavors of Koreatown’s popular restaurants, and spend a charming afternoon in Madison Square or Bryant Park. Visit the exquisite fine dining and modern galleries surrounding Hudson Yards and The Highline before. Whether you’re visiting New York on business at the nearby Jacob Javits Convention Center, discovering the city's newest attractions and entertainment, or exploring its storied past, Hotel AKA NoMad is perfectly placed for an inspiring stay.
