Wow, that is a fantastic idea. Have you ever seen the movie "Age of Innocence" or read the book by Edith Wharton? I've seen the movie, yet to read the book, but she studied the manners of rich New Yorkers during the "gilded age" in New York at the turn of the 19th to 20th century. You're right-Manhattan is a wonderful place, I get the obsession.
