MAD FOR NOMAD<br />
Manhattan’s buzziest district at the moment boasts a<br />
full roster of new standout hotels. // By Farhad Heydari<br />
IT HAD LONG BEEN the<br />
preserve of low-rent T-shirt,<br />
luggage, perfume, costume<br />
jewellery, and wholesale<br />
fashion retailers selling<br />
socks, Tupperware, vaping<br />
paraphernalia, cosmetics,<br />
hair products, and the like,<br />
which swallowed up vast<br />
acres of storefront real<br />
estate in a hitherto no-name<br />
neighborhood. The New York<br />
Times changed some of that<br />
when, in 1999, it coined the<br />
district, a one-time crossroad<br />
of the city at the tailend of<br />
the 18th century, as NoMad<br />
(North of Madison Square).<br />
Before too long, denizens<br />
began looking beyond the<br />
untidy vitrines to discover<br />
some of the most iconic<br />
French Renaissance<br />
revival, Second Empire<br />
Baroque and Beaux-Arts<br />
architecture in the whole<br />
of the city hiding in plain<br />
sight. A new gilded age<br />
had begun for a district<br />
already steeped in history,<br />
helped in part by the<br />
pedestrianization of<br />
sections of Broadway,<br />
where pop-ups and dining<br />
sheds now reign supreme.<br />
