Catch the ‘Mad Men’ season opener at an old-school lounge around town

*MAD MEN IN THE CITY

The Roosevelt Hotel’s Madison Club Lounge (45 E. 45th St.; 212-885-6007, theroosevelthotel.com)

The viewing party in the dark-paneled Madison Club Lounge will have you standing in the shadow of Don Draper. He checked into the Roosevelt when Betty threw him out of the house in the second season. Put on your sharpest matchstick suit (prizes will be awarded to the best-dressed) and take your best gal to sip a Lucky Strike martini ($14, with Cedilla acai liqueur, vodka and pineapple juice), or dine on a three-course prix-fixe menu ($27).

The high-ceilinged, marble-floored Roosevelt lobby “is very much a timepiece, so when you walk into the bar, you already feel like you’re back in the ’60s having a martini,” says Kevin Croke, director of sales and marketing. The party starts at 7 p.m.

*LIQUOR & SMOKE

The Carnegie Club (156 W. 56th St.; 212-957-9676)

If tobacco is your vice, as it is for so many “Mad” men and women, go to this recently renovated cigar bar for an 8 p.m. bash.

The club’s “retro feel resonates very well with the setting for the series,” says owner Mark Grossich, who keeps 30 different cigars in stock. In a posh room

with art deco wallpaper that would be a perfect setting for a Sterling Cooper lunch, enjoy complimentary hors d’oeuvres and show-themed cocktails ($15) such as the Don Draper (gin, sweet vermouth and pineapple juice) and Betty’s Bitter Rage (tequila, Campari, lime juice, minced ginger and agave nectar).

*MEDIA GONE MAD

The Paley Center for Media (25 W. 52nd St.; 212-621-6800, paleycenter.org; $10 for members, $15 for nonmembers)

Do you know Don Draper’s “real” name? Show off during a “Mad Men” trivia competition. And don’t forget to wear your best retro-inspired ensemble — it’ll earn you a “Mad Men” poster. TV Guide critic Matt Roush and features director Carol Dittbrenner play host while guests sip (complimentary) Manhattans and, during the show’s commercial breaks, enjoy real 1960s ads. Doors open at 8 p.m.

*DINE LIKE BETTY DRAPER

Apotheke (9 Doyers St.; 212-406-0400, apothekenyc.com; $50)

The rustic cocktail lounge — featuring a hand-carved bar and antique medicine bottles — is throwing a premiere party Betty Draper would be proud of, with 1960s finger foods and lots of booze. Starting at 8 p.m., guests can sip on a Sterling Cooper Collins (Kanon organic vodka, tonic water, lemon and lime juice, simple syrup and three maraschino cherries) while dining on classic ’60s-style canapés, including shrimp cocktail, deviled eggs and glazed ham-and-pineapple sliders (all included in the cover). Watch the show on an 8-by-10-foot screen.
