For four years (1981-85), Mr. Trump and Obama lived four miles apart. This walking tour - with one subway ride - is objective. Tourists may share political views, civilly. Other presidents are along the way: Nixon, Grant, Eisenhower, Clinton and both Teddy & Franklin Roosevelt.
Walking: Tourist must be ready to walk 3 hours.
Duration: 3 hours
Talk through NYC.
Pickup included
Trump, 29, rebuilt his first building here in 1975. His Dad wanted to keep the family business in Queens. Meet the guide in the middle of Grand Central (1913) at the clock/information booth. See the star ceiling which also has the biggest mistake in NYC. Downstairs is a food court that still has the feel of 1913.
Obama, 22, was a corporate journalist at the Business International Corporation. Here at this UN subcontractor, he realized that he's very good at writing and presentation. See the UN down the block. Pass the Daily News Building which was the 'Daily Planet' for Superman in 1978. Also pass Pfizer pharmaceuticals which hands half of our Covid shots.
Both Trump and Obama have a history here. Trump Tower on Park was a hotel from 1929. Today it's 120 condos and 8 penthouses. Obama's 2nd apartment is a mile from here, too. The trip to 339 East 94th Street is too far for the 3-hour walk, but you may return later. He said drug addicts were near his place in 1983. Today, this neighborhood is many doormen buildings.
