Recently, Donald Trump was heard criticizing his team for a delay in performing a task saying that the 21 Club restoration was done faster. The famous eatery and former speakeasy located at 21 W. 52nd Street in Manhattan was refurbished in 2015 but not done so quickly. The midtown location was notable for the metal jockeys standing sentry on its steps each bearing the racing colors of various stables of the period i.e. The Vanderbilts, Phipps family, etc. During the restoration these statues were removed for repainting and patching and were absent for three months July/October 2015. Perhaps POTUS never ventured near a race track and never experienced the thrill of booting home a winner. Sad!

P.S. - The writer had the pleasure of having lunch
at this emporium once - recommend their hamburger.
The hamburger is only about $45, right? I was never there.
