NoMad
Studio & Treatment Room Rental for NoMad Practitioners
A straight walk south on Broadway or Park Avenue South — roughly 12 minutes from the southern blocks, closer to 18 from 28th Street — or one stop on the 6 or N/R/W.
The walk
Straight down Broadway or Park Avenue South.
NoMad sits north of Madison Square Park and south of the mid-20s office towers, roughly between 24th and 29th Streets, with Broadway and Park Avenue South as its two main north-south spines. Both run directly into Union Square without a turn, which makes the walk simple even if it isn't short: about 12 minutes from the neighborhood's southern edge near 25th Street, and closer to 18 minutes from its northern edge near 28th or 29th Street.
The distance is honest, not marketed — NoMad is genuinely a few blocks further from Union Square than Flatiron or Gramercy, and practitioners should set that expectation with clients up front rather than rounding it down.
Transit
28th Street covers the northern blocks in one stop.
The 6 train and the N, Q, R and W all stop at 28th Street, one stop from 14th Street–Union Square. For anyone based north of about 26th Street, that one stop is generally faster than walking the full distance, especially with a bag of equipment or on a tight schedule between clients.
Who this suits
Hotel-adjacent and boutique-office clients used to a short commute.
NoMad's mix of boutique hotels, event and design firms, and residential conversions of former office buildings produces clients who are used to short trips by design — they picked the neighborhood partly for its position between Midtown and downtown. That suits personal trainers and stretch therapists whose NoMad clients want a session bracketed by meetings on either side, and estheticians whose clients travel through the neighborhood en route to appointments elsewhere and would rather combine the trip than make a separate one.
Parking & biking
Citi Bike is the fastest option for the northern blocks.
Parking near NoMad's hotels and office buildings is expensive and scarce, so it isn't a practical way to reach a session. Citi Bike docks run along Broadway and Park Avenue South through the low-to-mid 20s, and for anyone starting near 28th Street, riding down cuts the 18-minute walk to well under ten.
Frequently asked questions
How far is NoMad from the studio, exactly?
It depends how far north your building is. From around 25th Street and Broadway, it's about a 12-minute walk south. From closer to 28th or 29th Street, closer to 18 minutes — still a straight shot down Broadway or Park Avenue South, just a longer one.
Is there a subway option for the northern end of NoMad?
Yes. The 6 train and the N/R/W both stop at 28th Street, one stop from 14th Street–Union Square, which is faster than walking for anyone north of about 26th Street.
What's the best route on foot?
Broadway or Park Avenue South, both running straight south into Union Square without a diagonal detour. Broadway has more storefronts and foot traffic; Park Avenue South is quieter and slightly wider.
