The Flatiron/NoMad area is a microcosm of everything that makes Manhattan so vibrant. Home to businesses and residences alike, it is abuzz with restaurants and bars catering to nearly every taste and budget imaginable. The shopping is equally diverse, with boutiques and showrooms specializing in everything from avant-garde apparel to designer bathroom fittings. Ditto the entertainment options, which range from listening to live jazz at whiskey bars such as the Flatiron Room to practicing your swing at Premier Indoor Golf. Yet it’s not all hustle and bustle. Amid the striking architecture—including the famed Flatiron Building and the gold-roofed New York Life Building—are plazas outfitted with bistro tables, chairs, and umbrellas, as well as verdant Madison Square Park. And should you want to venture beyond the neighborhood, its central location means you can easily walk or catch a bus or subway to just about anywhere else in the borough and beyond.
