3. You Can Eat in the Delegates Dining Room

UN Delegates Dining Room

In 2014, following the renovation of the United Nations complex, the Delegates Dining Room quietly reopened in the General Assembly building. Relevant to us non-delegates is that the restaurant is actually open to the public, allowing us ordinary folks to brush past and sit amidst ambassadors, dignitaries and delegates. Though the mod-style architecture has mostly been replaced over the years, the view is just as stunning as ever.

The famous buffet is no longer offered, but there’s a prix-fix menu now. Advance reservation is necessary and airport style security clearance when you arrive. UN staff and Mission get a discount.
