Test your knowledge of the New York home base of Donald Trump's real estate business.
"[T]he Trump Organization still owns properties in 19 cities across the globe," an article by Wesley Yin reminds us.

The map/tour of New York begins and ends in Manhattan, starting with the Trump International Hotel & Tower New York, located on Columbus Circle. Then there's Trump Tower, which, as Yin notes, is made up of mostly absent owners, "as fewer than half of the condos are primary residences."
