With insight and nostalgia, High Society explores the intrigue of New York s upper-class society and culture. From Greenwich Village and the Sugar House to Stone Street, author Nick Foulkes unravels Manhattan s past, starting in the early seventeenth century and leading up to the prosperous present. With stories of the residents that have made and make up Manhattan s lavish citizenry the Vanderbilt, Frick, Morgan, and Astor families and the restaurants, playhouses, galleries, and night clubs where they socialized Le Grenouille, El Morocco, and Le Cirque the narrative weaves the political, social, and literary moments of the eras, delivering a spectacle of culture beside a poignant selection of photography.
