Few places are left in town that hold the same kind of allure. Oh, there was once the New York restaurant in Potts Point – famous since 1953 for rumoured clandestine meetings between Labor and union heavies – and the Oceanic Cafe fed the hungry hordes of lower Surry Hills crumbed cutlets and meatballs for decades. Sadly, both these living legends, along with their excellently old-school menus, have shut their doors.
But the CTA is still going strong. The idea is the building, which looks like a space mushroom, is familiar and odd enough that any business traveller will recognise it no matter how lost they get in the city and they'll be able to find their way back. And there are reciprocal memberships all over the world from the Chittagong Club in Bangladesh to Club Vina del Mar in Chile. Yeah, I'm a little obsessed.
