Yelping Yale Club Members

Since 1897, the 22-story, 138 guest room, 3 restaurant Yale Club in midtown Manhattan welcomed the upper crust of local society to its hallowed halls. However, times changed. New money needed to be raised. That's when old-money members of the club's 11,000 total members complained that the Ivy’s interiors were being rented to crowds of inferior crumbs. The weekends were the worst with weddings and room rentals with people from the… heaven forbid… outer boroughs! It’s hoped that all strata of society have since learned to peacefully co-exist.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This blog is a quick comment on an older New York City news headline. Unforeseen NYCo website development delays prevented it’s publication before now. For readership continuity, 100’s of older headlines are to be posted in chronological order until this blog is current. Though some of the stories may no longer be as relevant as they once were, they remain interesting news items worthy of this site’s mention and viewer comments.
