Low-Lit Cocktails Inside A Landmarked NoMad Banking Hall

The Ned NoMad occupies a landmarked building at 1170 Broadway, and the ground-floor bar keeps the lights low against dark wood and tall shelves of whiskey. Vested bartenders work a long marble counter while lamps throw pools of warm light across the room. The draw is a late-evening seat at that counter, drink in hand, with the old banking-hall proportions rising overhead. Velvet booths line the edges for smaller groups, and the crowd stays dressed and unhurried. Rated 4.6 across more than two thousand reviews, it reads as a NoMad standby.
