The Metropolitan Club
The Old Guard NYC Elite.
The Metropolitan Club was founded in 1891, with some dude named J.P. Morgan serving as its first president, and an initial members roll call including other last names like Vanderbilt and Roosevelt. Despite that name recognition, the club was actually designed to be less snooty and exclusive than some of the other clubs at the time (see below). Nevertheless, at least four modern-era U.S. Presidents have been members. Jackets and ties are required at all-times, fellas, while cell phone and laptop usage is prohibited.
