The president-elect was spotted Tuesday night at a Manhattan steakhouse after he ditched his press pool at Trump Tower.
The restaurant is four blocks away from Trump Tower, and Trump apparently snuck out of his now-secured home.
For days, the press pool that travels with Trump has been frustrated in following the movements of Trump and his advisers. Though a Trump spokesperson has said he will have a traditional press pool, which provides information on all of a president's appearances and statements in public, he has already left reporters behind multiple times.
As the photo of Trump at the steakhouse spread on social media, the press pool said they had no information about the president-elect's whereabouts.
"We are chasing down the possibility that Donald Trump left Trump Tower without the press pool tonight and went to a steakhouse. Will update as soon as I have something reportable."
The pool later updated that the block outside the restaurant was shut down by police, and reporters were standing outside.
Hope Hicks, a spokeswoman for Trump, said she "wasn't aware" of Trump's movement and she had no intention of leaving "the press in the dark."
