The setting

The Ritz Carlton New York NoMad has an address at 25 West 28th Street, in Midtown South where the Flatiron district meets Union Square. Numbered cross streets and the avenues of the 1811 grid make orientation simple, and Broadway cuts diagonally nearby. Straight-line distances put Penn Station about 0.4 miles (0.7 km) away, Grand Central Terminal about 0.8 miles (1.3 km), Times Square about 0.9 miles (1.4 km) and Central Park at Fifth Avenue and 59th Street about 1.6 miles (2.5 km). The High Line and Hudson Yards are each about 0.9 miles (1.4 km) away, and the 9/11 Memorial about 2.7 miles (4.3 km) south.

Location and neighborhood

This district fills the blocks between Union Square at 14th Street and the streets around Penn Station, with Broadway cutting diagonally across the grid. Fifth Avenue divides east from west street numbers, so addresses are easy to follow. Madison Square Park, between 23rd and 26th Streets, gives children lawns, shade and room to run; the Flatiron Building stands just south of it. Koreatown clusters along West 32nd Street, and NoMad spreads east of Sixth Avenue. Blocks are short, sidewalks are wide, and a stroller covers most of it comfortably.

From The Ritz Carlton New York NoMad, little of this requires a long walk with children. Union Square has an open plaza and a playground, and a farmers market sets up on several mornings each week; check the schedule before you go. Evenings around Madison Square Park are calmer than the Theater District, which suits early dinners and early bedtimes. Subway stations at Union Square, 23rd Street and 34th Street connect the area to the rest of the island, and the avenues stay busy into the evening.

Getting there and around

Three airports serve New York City, and the transfer in is the part worth planning with children. The Ritz Carlton New York NoMad sits around 13 miles (21.2 km) from the airports, around 0.8 miles (1.3 km) from Penn Station and Grand Central Terminal, and around 0.9 miles (1.4 km) from the center of Midtown. The subway runs around the clock; tap a contactless card or phone at the turnstile, and weekly spending is capped automatically. Driving in means congestion pricing below 60th Street, so check the current toll. Buses cross the grid, and most sights sit within a walk or one short ride.

Nearby sights and food

From The Ritz Carlton New York NoMad, Madison Square Park and Union Square are the nearest open space, and both work for a run-around between sights. The High Line, an elevated park on a former freight line, begins at Gansevoort Street and ends at Hudson Yards; mornings are quieter there. Grand Central Terminal sits a short ride east, and its main concourse is worth a look for the ceiling and the architecture. Observation decks at the Empire State Building and Rockefeller Center show the grid from above; pick a clear day, reserve a timed entry, and check opening hours before setting out.

Eating with children is straightforward. Koreatown's barbecue halls and noodle shops along West 32nd Street fill early, and many places there cook at the table, which keeps everyone occupied. Pizza counters sell by the slice, diner menus cover breakfast all day, and food halls let a group split up and choose different cuisines. Look for bagel shops in the mornings, taquerias and ramen counters for quick lunches, and Indian restaurants on the side streets near Murray Hill. Portions are often large enough to share; ask about high chairs when you arrive.

A day from The Ritz Carlton New York NoMad

A day from The Ritz Carlton New York NoMad can start early in Madison Square Park, where the lawns are quiet before the offices open. Walk north through NoMad to Koreatown for a mid-morning snack, then take the subway west to the High Line and follow it north to Hudson Yards. The path suits a stroller, so take it at an easy pace. Lunch fits a food hall, where children can pick their own. In the afternoon, ride to Grand Central Terminal to see the concourse, or reserve a timed slot at an observation deck. Eat dinner before seven, then walk back through Union Square as the lights come on.
