River House
You'd think the residents of a former cigar factory would be a little less snooty, but those who live at 435 East 52nd Street truly have no shame. In 1980, the board of the River House actually dared to reject Gloria Vanderbilt, and she called them out for racism (she was dating black cabaret singer Bobby Short). Then again, Gloria is in good company, as Richard Nixon, Diane Keaton, and Joan Crawford are also among the rejects.
