118 E 40th St
New York, NY 10016

Located in the heart of Manhattan, underneath the historic Renwick Hotel, Agency of Record pays homage to the golden era of New York City advertising. With a design that reflects the decadence of the past, this vibrant establishment offers a unique experience where renowned chef Ed Carew serves up American classics, cocktails are hidden within old books, and vinyl spins on the DJ's turntable.

Just a block away from Grand Central Station and Madison Avenue, Agency of Record captures the essence of a bygone era, where creativity knows no bounds. Inspired by the likes of F. Scott Fitzgerald, John Steinbeck, and Thomas Mann, this hidden gem invites guests to indulge in the eccentric and relive the magic of New York City's advertising heyday.
