The group's restaurant of choice: Jean-Georges, the three-Michelin-starred restaurant at the base of the Trump International Hotel & Tower in Columbus Circle. Led by the acclaimed French chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten (who became an American citizen in 2014), the restaurant has earned numerous accolades since opening in 1997.
Diners can choose from a selection of prix fixe menus, with the least expensive (a three-course dinner) priced at $138 a person. There are also two six-course tasting menus that cost $218 a person, plus a two-course lunch menu for $58 each.
To pair wines with each of your courses, you should expect to shell out an additional $168. It's a pricey meal, but is generally in line with what it costs to dine at New York's top-tier restaurants.
Jean-Georges also has a strict dress code: men are expected to wear jackets, and jeans, sweatshirts, and sneakers are not allowed. This is Trump's second meal out in New York since the election - earlier in November, he broke protocol to to have a meal at The 21 Club.
Eating at Jean-Georges is quite the experience. Here are just a few of the dishes you could expect to enjoy from some of the restaurant's tasting menus.
