On Tuesday, President-elect Donald Trump snuck out of Trump Tower for dinner at the historic 21 Club.
The visit, first reported on Twitter by a reporter who happened to be dining at the same spot, surprised practically everyone. That's because Trump broke protocol by leaving his headquarters without alerting the pool of reporters meant to travel alongside him at all times.
The 21 Club is a prestigious bar and restaurant just a few blocks from Trump Tower. It has hosted almost every president since Franklin D. Roosevelt, as well as Hollywood stars, since it opened in 1930 as a speakeasy. Take look inside the famous eatery.

The jockey statues that greet guests outside the restaurant date back to the 1930s. The first one was donated by patron Jay Van Urk, who had an affinity for horses.
