New York Goes Mad for Mad Men

Times Square, not Madison Avenue, was the venue of choice for last night's public screening of the third season of the highly acclaimed AMC show Mad Men. Chronicaling the lives of the powerful men and subservient (but super-smart) women of the fictional ad agency Sterling Cooper, Mad Men is on homage to a simpler—and more stylish—time. Although the show is filmed in Los Angeles, it's a celebration of Manhattan, in all of its early 1960s Technicolor glory. So it was only fitting that the premiere happened here, presided by actor Bryan Batt, who plays the agency's art director, Sal Romano. A flock of New Yorkers turned up for the occasion, dressed in their mid-century finest, from Mets mascots to hippies, fedora-clad men to housedress-and-headband-wearing women. Video to be posted soon, but in the interim, check out these pics of some of the attendees.
