Among the more than 50 million annual tourists in New York City, one frequent visitor stands out: President Barack Obama.

On Thursday, Mr. Obama made his third trip to the city in two months, to attend a private Democratic National Committee fundraiser on the Upper West Side.

In June, the president traveled to Manhattan to headline the DNC's LGBT Leadership Council gala at Gotham Hall. And in May, Mr. Obama took a two-day trip to the city, attending fundraising events and speaking at the dedication of the National September 11 Memorial & Museum.

His visits aren't all business.
