(There are already an infinite number of articles about how Trump’s mass-produced products are meant to impress a hollow sense of wealth.) And prior to his victory, it seemed as if the world of Fifth Avenue power brokers agreed: the lobby was perpetually empty, the Grill(e) mostly frequented with Trump Tower residents and locals looking for a convenient power lunch, if any of the bigger, better power-lunch spots nearby were full. Perhaps Trump’s veneer of a steakhouse is too obviously a veneer, meant for the hoodied masses to visit once and never return. The alternative to these cocktails-which we could not bring ourselves to finish over the course of two hours-was Trump’s own branded Trump Wine, which came with one red option and one white option. The Fifth Avenue-Grey Goose with Cointreau and a “splash of cranberry”-tasted like vodka mixed with Crystal Light, the ultimate drink for an 18-year-old pledging a sorority. (One person named it “The Cancun,” and slowly nursed the spring-break-colored drink over the next two hours like morphine.) The You’re Fired, an oversized Bloody Mary, appeared to be a chunky shrimp-cocktail sauce, heavy on the horseradish, mixed with ice and a lot of vodka. The Tower was a tall glass filled with three types of rum and several types of fruit concentrate. Trump himself does not drink alcohol, a possible explanation for why the cocktails seemed to be concocted by a college freshman experimenting in their dorm room.
The one thing required to save the meal-booze-turned into its greatest disappointment. On one level, the Grill (or Grille), suggests the heights of plutocratic splendor-a steakhouse built into the basement of one’s own skyscraper. They think, ‘If I were rich, I’d have a fabulous tie like that.’” Nowhere, perhaps, does this reflection appear more accurate than at Trump Grill (which is occasionally spelled Grille on various pieces of signage). Trump, it seemed, was already fighting against the War on Christmas.ĭonald Trump is “a poor person’s idea of a rich person,” Fran Lebowitz recently observed at The Vanity Fair New Establishment Summit. Thanks to an unprecedented influx of diners, we were sitting at a wobbly overflow table outside the restaurant, in the middle of a crush of tourists, some of whom were proposing to their partners, or waiting to buy Trump-branded merchandise, or sprinting to the bathroom.Īs my companions and I contemplated the most painless way to eat our flaccid, gray Szechuan dumplings with their flaccid, gray innards, as a campy version of “Jingle Bells” jackhammered in the background, a giant gold box tied with red ribbon toppled onto us. INSPIRATIONAL QUOTES: “Success is not final and failure is not fatal It is the courage to continue that counts.Halfway through a recent late lunch at the Trump Grill-the clubby steakhouse in the lobby of Trump Tower that has recently become famous through the incessant media coverage of its namesake landlord, and the many dignitaries traipsing through its marbled hall to kiss his ring-I sensed the initial symptoms of a Trump overdose.
