The Nomad is a brand new luxurious bohemian kind of hotel in NoMad (North of Madison Square), just a few blocks from our favorite hotel ACE which also owns Nomad together with the owners of one of New York´s most popular restaurants – Eleven Madison Park.
The historic NoMad neighborhood is bordered by the Flatiron District and Gramercy Park to the South, Chelsea to the West, and Midtown/Times Square to the North.
The rooms at The Nomad are decorated in a ”time-less” way with hand-selected, custom-designed furnishings, artwork and claw-foot bathtubs. It´s intended as a fresh take on the classic grand hotels of Europe with a distinct New York sensibility.
The building it self is iconic, a 1903 Beaux-Arts tower full of European neoclassical grandeur.
Food and drink are in a series of intimate dining rooms and lounges surrounding a light-flooded atrium. Included is the romantic Library cocktail lounge. Sip on a ”Bohemia” drink while you go through the eclectic literary collection of books.
There is also a rooftop bar.

The three-story space that used to be Great Jones Lumber Supply is now a charming collection of antique furnishings, porcelain tiles, street lamps and a copper stamped ceiling made in Florence.
Il Buco Alimentari & Vineria is a combination of an Italian restaurant & Italian gourmet grocery which makes their own house made cured-meats, bread, sea salts, olive oil, and pasta. Everything tastes very delicious and the ambiance is great in this casual and warm setting.
The front half of the space consists of a gourmet market, a counter selling gelato and panini and a morning coffee bar that becomes a wine bar in the afternoon. The other part host the charming Italian restaurant.
Il Buco Alimentari & Vineria is the smaller, cheaper spin-off of the romantic Il Buco on adjacent Bond Street.
