Das & Co.

Das & Co. sits in Midtown—more corporate plaza than hushed lobby. Across the avenue, boutiques cluster like pigeons; they trade in numbers instead of silk scarves. Investment management stays two floors up, not in the street-level churn.

The entrance flanks 488 Madison Ave, one block shy of 53rd. Fifth Avenue’s flagship parade peters out here; they’re tucked inside the same limestone row that once housed vanished trading desks. Numbers crunch inside Das & Co. while the sidewalk below keeps the beat.

Call before you climb: (212) 588-9150 and they’ll pencil you in. The map drops you at the revolving door—press the buzzer labeled 488 and the elevators do the rest.
