But the Donald\u2019s operation is a year-round affair as the Wollman Rink turns into Victoria Gardens from June to September where visitors can enjoy an amusement park filled with rides, food concessions and live music entertainment. The Trump Organization also manages the Michael Friedsam Memorial Carousel, the fourth such carousel in this spot since 1871.<\/p>\n<p><strong>40 Wall Street<\/strong><br \/>\nWhile few tourists know this building \u2013 also known as the Trump Building (not to be confused with Trump Tower) \u2013 it was built in 1930 and, formerly known as the Manhattan Company Building, was once the tallest building in the world at 283 metres (927 feet). Designed by architects H. Craig Severance and Yasuo Matsui, it is situated opposite the New York Stock Exchange and still sticks out as a green jewel in the city\u2019s skyline thanks to its rusted copper roof.<\/p>\n<p>Purchased by the former <a href=\"https:\/\/luxurylaunches.com\/tag\/President\">president<\/a> of the Philippines Ferdinand Marcos in the 1980s, after the February Revolution of 1986 toppled his reign, the building spent years vacant until Trump bought it in 1995. He claims he only paid US$1 million and has invested US$200 million in renovations since. The building is mainly recognised for its beautiful exterior but inside the tower is 1.1 million square feet of office space spread across 70 floors.<\/p>\n<p><figure id=\"attachment_250138\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-250138\" style=\"width: 770px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/luxurylaunches.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Jean-Georges-Restaurants.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/luxurylaunches.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Jean-Georges-Restaurants-770x769.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"770\" height=\"769\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-250138\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-250138\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Via Instagram \/ @jgrestaurants<\/figcaption><\/figure><br \/>\n<strong>Jean-Georges<\/strong><br \/>\nJean-Georges Vongerichten has restaurants in 11 countries, with the same number in New York City alone.
