MAD Bar & Lounge

The interior pays homage to ad industry legends like David Ogilvy and Leo Burnett inside the NH Collection New York Madison Avenue. Though located in a hotel, the space has the independent feel of a hidden retreat. Beyond the bistro menu, the main draw is the schedule of free live jazz running Monday through Thursday, including Latin jazz nights. Note that the venue automatically adds a service charge to the bill, which can lead to accidental double-tipping at checkout, and special pop-up events can occasionally bring loud music and higher prices.
