Speaking of Soho House, The Observer has a rundown of new membership clubs in New York and who their respective owners are trying to target ("a-list," "high-end" people, of course.) It also mentions the price of membership and requirements. For the new Core Club it's $25,000 a year plus $1,000 a month. Soho House, by comparison, is probably cheaper than your gym membership$900 annually. The snobbier, older and country/yacht clubsMaidstone, Knickerbocker, etc.are omitted, possibly because they're not new, and possibly because they're not fashionable. (It's slightly declasse among Gen-X-ers to be overtly/economically elitist, which doesn't bode well for the Core Club. Part of Soho House's cachet is their "we admit struggling, albeit fashionable, artists" policy.)
