"One of Manhattan’s most famous examples was the Cloud Club in the Chrysler Building (a designated New York City Landmark), which opened in July 1930 and occupied three floors in the crown. This 300-member dining club catered to midtown businessmen and may have provided a model for the Rainbow Room and the Rockefeller Center Luncheon Club"
