MAD Social

Coworking spaces have become a quiet staple in Midtown, where the hum of laptops blends into the city’s rhythm. MAD Social fits neatly into that scene at 12 East 49th Street, just steps from Fifth Avenue. The building’s glass doors open to a stretch of sidewalk where suits and sneakers pass in equal measure, a reminder that this stretch of Manhattan still feels like an office corridor even as the nature of work shifts.

Desks here are shared but not crowded, with options for daily drop-ins or longer commitments. Members can book private meeting rooms when the open floor gets too lively, or retreat to phone booths for calls that need fewer distractions. Reliable Wi-Fi and printing keep the basics covered, while the address itself—10017—adds a layer of convenience for anyone who needs to meet clients nearby or duck into Grand Central for a quick train.

Questions about availability or tours can be sorted by calling (786) 239-5048. For anyone already nearby, the map at this link points the way. It’s the kind of place that doesn’t announce itself, but once you know it’s there, the address sticks.
