Thanks to Jordan Riefe for featuring MAD Bar & Lounge at NH Collection New York Madison Avenue in his latest for the Los Angeles Times, "Best Mad Men Style Retro and Historic Bars in Midtown Manhattan." Riefe writes that MAD Bar & Lounge is, "where the lights are dim and the Old Fashions flow like they did in the days of Don Draper."

Riefe also notes that the bar is hosting a bevy of FIFA World Cup watch parties for an elevated sports viewing experience. And, "If you’re celebrating a win on the court, the soccer pitch, or even a boardroom victory, take the elevator to the top floor Penthouse Empire Suite and pop the cork on some bubbly in the shadow of the Empire State Building only five blocks away, never more scintillating than when the sun starts to set and the city starts to sparkle."
