With Mad Men currently gracing our screens for a sixth series, you can get a Don Draper-inspired break to the Big Apple from just £323 per person
Get the sixties style
Transform your look at Hooti Couture store in Brooklyn, the city’s vintage mecca. Guys don a skinny tie and dapper suit; dolls slip into a figure-hugging dress and hit the town ready to explore the city.
‘60s sweet treats
Hail one of New York’s iconic yellow cabs and head to one of the city’s favourite old-time bakeries, William Greenberg Desserts, for its famous black and white cookies. Seen in season five of Mad Men, the iconic bakery on Madison Avenue is popular with celebrities, both past and present.
Drink the night away like the Drapers
While smoking habits have changed since the ‘60s, Merchants NY Wine and Cigar Bar is one place you can still stock up on vintage cigars and their history, as the experts educate your palate and mind. For an authentic Mad Men experience head to the Roosevelt Hotel, Don Draper’s temporary crash pad after Betty kicked him out in season two, and the Madison Club Lounge. Sidle up to the bar and order a Manhattan or an Old Fashioned, and rap with the other guys and dolls enjoying the ‘60s atmosphere.
Mad Manhattan Menus
Satisfy your Mad Men appetite with a visit to Grand Central Oyster Bar, from that oyster scene of season one, or Keens Steak House, seen in season three. Opened in 1885, Keens is still considered one of the city’s greatest meat palaces, as famous for its mutton chops as its impressive collection of Abraham Lincoln memorabilia.
Get cheap return flights to JFK from just £323 per person until June 29.
