The DL: NoMad is in the heart of Manhattan and home to luxury condo buildings, hotels, trendy bars and restaurants. You will find locals and tourists heavily populate this area due to its convenient location. This guide is for the perfect day to NoMad, and if just passing through keep some of these spots on your radar especially if you need somewhere really good to eat before an event at Madison Square Garden, grab drinks before a trip at Penn station or if you are just anywhere in the Herald square/ Empire State area.
