From the end of the 19^<th>-century to the dawn of the 20^<th>, the New York Leisure Class socialized in order to make their wealth conspicuous. First, I will discuss the influence of Puritanism in creating the society of the New York Leisure Class with respect to their God-given vocation, their wealth, their consumption and their leisure practices. Second, I will study how Old New Yorkers transformed the areas in which they socialized. At first, it was within the private sphere, such as their own mansions, but it then moved to the public sphere, such as in gigantic hotels and newly introduced restaurants, as the newly Riches began to rise in society.
