Guide to Visiting 'Mad Men' Sites in New York City

"Mad Men" fans, it's time for a cocktail.

The return of the AMC show March 25 after a hiatus of a year and a half is cause for celebration, and there's no better place to raise your glass than in Manhattan at one of Don Draper's favorite haunts.

While many of the places name-dropped in "Mad Men" no longer exist — Lutece, the Stork Club, Toots Shor's — there are plenty that do, among them P.J. Clarke's, the Roosevelt Hotel and Sardi's. Some Manhattan bars, clubs and hotels are even offering travel packages, drinks or viewing parties to mark the show's return.

Business Class Out of Reach? Try Premium Economy

Posted By:

The advent of lie-flat seating in business class is probably the top airline development of recent years, but another trend is quickly rising in popularity — premium economy.

Many international carriers now offer a dedicated cabin more luxurious than economy and at a price significantly more affordable than business class. It's a great option to consider when traveling overseas, as the relative comfort the cabins provide can mean the difference between arriving jetlagged and sour to passing through immigration and customs refreshed and ready to start your day.

Each airline offering a premium economy cabin provides similar amenities, including:

  • A dedicated check-in line and priority boarding.
  • Free checked baggage allowances.
  • Larger, more comfortable seats with enhanced legroom and adjustable headrests.
  • An amenity kit with earplugs, toothbrush, toothpaste, socks and an eye mask.
  • Complimentary newspapers and bar service.
  • Enhanced meal choices often served on fine china.
  • On-demand personal video entertainment featuring television programming, movies, games, audio books and music.
  • Power outlets for laptops and mobile devices.

Delayed: Chicago O’Hare International Airport

Posted By:

Airports may not be your idea of a place you'd prefer to spend time, but delays and cancellations can cause extended wait. Fortunately, if you're stuck at Chicago's O'Hare International airport, the country's second busiest, you can at least take advantage of restaurants, exhibits, and other features where you can while away time.

Besides the Chicago Department of Aviation’s website listing of food and beverage outlets in each terminal, also consider downloading one of the many great mobile apps available that provide detailed airport information. My favorite is GateGuru as it provides not only lists of food, shopping and services found in each terminal with customer reviews, but also provides security wait time information, updated throughout the day.

Terminals 1, 2 and 3 are interconnected, so if you’ve passed through security and have a lot of time to kill, you can easily get from one end of the airport to the other. Terminal 5, the international terminal, can be accessed by using the Airport Transit System (ATS), a free, 24-hour rail system linking all three domestic terminals with the international terminal, and continuing to long-term parking and the Metra & PACE stations.

Here are some of the top locations based on user reviews in each terminal.
