Grand Central Terminal
Start your informative walking tour at Grand Central Terminal, a beautiful station constructed in 1913 and preserved by the residents of NYC from destruction. The iconic beaux-arts building is one of the world’s ten most-visited tourist attractions, with 21.6 million visitors in 2018, excluding train and subway passengers. Learn some facts about Donald Trump and how he rebuilt the aging Commodore Hotel into the Hyatt Regency in 1975 at the age of 29.
Dag-Hammarskjold Plaza Greenmarket
At 47th and 2nd Avenue (885 2nd Ave.), Barack Obama, 23, wrote reports for the Business International Corporation, which subcontracted for the UN nearby. See the UN down the block and collect more facts about the ex-president. Apart from that, get a chance to take a look at a nice market and get a little rest from the buzz and excitement of Midtown New York while strolling through.
Upper East Side
Head on to the Upper East Side, a luxurious residential neighborhood that is famous for its restaurants, designer shops, and splendid houses. Meet classical dark-red brick houses and elite skyscrapers. Both Trump and Obama’s histories lead you here. Admire the building of the Hotel Delmonico on Park Avenue, which was built in 1929 and which Trump bought in 2001 for $115 million and renamed it The Trump Park Avenue. Today it's 120 condos and 8 penthouses. The hotel was the location where The Beatles were staying when Bob Dylan came to visit them on Friday, August 28, 1964.
