Gridlock? Men with Earpieces? Must be the UN

Restaurants and exchange of information space of world leaders and the delegation accompanying her, the Waldorf-Astoria for the fun of fluffing the pillows in the Presidential Suite and the people who live on the east side of Manhattan, hoping not only to acquire premises without police escort.
Representatives will meet the 192 be in town next week to attend the UN summit to combat poverty in the United Nations and the opening general meeting of the United Nations General Assembly annual ministerial. New Yorkers mean packed with traffic and an opportunity to spot the leader of Andorra in Bhutan or a local restaurant.
It was Mario Antonio Cerra, the father and son, owners of the United Nations of the region Italian restaurant called Padre Figlio, busy week booking tables for countries such as East Timor. Won the Asian countries for independence from Indonesia in 2002 and has a population of about 1000000. To a reservation for 35 at Padre Figlio, which in the past has hosted events for Nigeria and Grenada.
Said Antonio Cerra diplomats will be eating Italian food, the heart with the luxury touches such as black truffle, and now in the season.
"They do not know to ask for Russian food," he said. "They do not know to request kosher. They get pasta, seafood, steak, and prosperity."
Cerra said high-level delegations were usually taken in a room with details of their own security, occupying one or more of the tables in the vicinity do not drink alcohol --. "Soda water and juice," he said.
Leaders of the world and not in the mood for Italian food, and other options.
At the time Japanese Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama, eat in the restaurant Aquavit Swedish well-regarded by the General Assembly last year, said the owner of the Swan Hakan.
Swan said fellow diners always crane their necks when they surrounded the arrival of Prime Minister by men with earpieces. "It's a bit of production," he said.
Pogrebin, "said David, the Director-General of the French Brasserie restaurant, booked the entire restaurant during the General Assembly in 2009 for a luncheon with the moon, Secretary-General of the United Nations.
"The black car was parked literally triple," said Pogrebin. "They do not carpool".
World leaders to begin gathering Monday for a three-day Summit of the Millennium Development Goals, which will review efforts to implement anti-poverty goals adopted at the summit meeting in 2000. These include reducing extreme poverty by half, ensuring primary education for all and to halt and reverse the epidemic of HIV / AIDS, reducing child and maternal mortality - all by the year 2015.
It is to be President Barack Obama to speak at the summit to combat poverty on Wednesday, and then at the opening session of the Meeting of the General Assembly annual ministerial on Thursday, his second appearance before the international organization.
World leaders in the city of the General Assembly to stay in hotels on the eastern side, including the Millennium Square, the Waldorf Astoria Hotel Intercontinental.
Because all remains the U.S. president in Waldorf-Astoria, it serves an annex to the UN informal. Look at the timetable for Obama during the 2009 General Assembly shows that in one day, he met with Chinese President Hu Jintao and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas (twice), and chaired the luncheon for African leaders - all at the Waldorf Astoria.
He died Zolby, director of sales and marketing at the hotel, the silence about the habits and preferences of Obama or any leader of the current government. And display the tidbit that President Ronald Reagan is "a kind of foodie" in the day, and provided detailed instructions for each training session when he hosted the leaders of the world.
Many residents of New York General Assembly consider a giant headache. Ministry of Transport and city study this year confirmed what is obvious: Manhattan traffic slows to a crawl during the General Assembly, with an average speed of the car during the day, about 8 miles per hour. And residents of Turtle Bay neighborhood, which is located the United Nations in some cases can not enter into the premises because the police blocked off the streets to protect one of the notables.
Said Brenda Levin, have been frozen in the block last year, when Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi was in the Libyan mission during the General Assembly.
"I could not get to my apartment," said Levin, who began her remarks by saying that she loves and the United Nations presence in New York.
Levin said it is a police officer told it to get to her apartment to take medication to them.
"He said: 'does not mean it is not true, right?" Said Levine. Was "and I said yes."
Police escorted the ultimate Levin in building her, and said she hopes things will go more smoothly this year.
Predicted Bruce Silberblatt, who heads the Turtle Bay Association, an organization of neighborhood volunteers, the General Assembly would be "chaos, as is always the case."
"It's noisy," he said. "Everybody insists on being around in the police escort with sirens. Needless to say, we can not park."
But Charles Sitch, sunning himself on the bench in Dag Hammarskjöld Plaza, across the street from the United Nations compound, and said he did not mind the inconvenience to his region.
"This is New York," said Sitch. "All of these people from all over the world come to our little Nabe, so there is traffic. Big deal."
