Gramercy Club

An urban private members' club where low conversation and clinking glass mask clear social hierarchies: polished wood, lamp-lit tables, and servers moving with practiced discretion. Characters remember it as the place where Charlie once waited tables and first crossed paths with Ambassador Cochran — a setting that binds personal history to political leverage. The club functions as provenance for Charlie's background, a small-stage of recognition and class contrast that can be summoned to influence reputations and decisions.
