United Nations

International territory on the East River with daily tours

Address 46th Street at 1st Avenue

The UN campus sits on the East River between 42nd and 48th Streets, technically international territory rather than American soil. Guided tours of the General Assembly Hall and Security Council chambers run daily — book in advance, bring ID, and expect airport-style security. What many visitors miss: the Delegates Dining Room is open to the public for lunch and serves cuisines from member nations.
