“Standing ovation and cheers at Keene’s steakhouse (sic) for @realDonaldTrump”
Trump went out without his press pool, causing scrambling and complaints from reporters camped out at Trump Tower. Bloomberg’s Taylor Riggs, who was there for a private dinner with co-workers, took a photo of Trump at the restaurant and posted it to Twitter.
NBC’s Hallie Jackson immediately got herself a reservation for the 21 Club so she could report from inside. NBC posted video of a sulking Jackson repeatedly trying to ask Trump (in true ‘it’s always about the media’ form) the most urgent question facing the nation: why did Trump leave the press pool behind when he went out for dinner? What NBC actually showed was Trump getting a standing ovation and telling diners he would lower their taxes.

Another Bloomberg reporter, Kate Smith at the 21 Club sulked online about Trump.

“Tonight I ate dinner about 10 feet away from President-elect @realDonaldTrump at the 21 Club. Surreal and a sad reminder of what’s to come.”

Johnson was able to report from behind the dumpster on the most pressing issue facing the country: Ivanka Trump’s jewelry business.
Even from the dumpsters we were able to see Ivanka Trump and her husband, Jared Kushner, get into their SUV. Trump's motorcade now moving.

I shouted out a question about this promotion as Ivanka Trumo left dinner, asking if she knew about it ahead of time. She did not answer. https://t.co/JBU0OO5LF2
