We visited International territory. The building surprised me in how retro 1940s-50s it still was inside, I guess they are spending their money on more important things than re-doing the linoleum and bakelite! The place had that thrill feeling of being somewhere that history still is being made versus what a lot of tourist sites have of being somewhere that once held historical events long ago.
wow i never knew they let you inside the un.
that's cool

Hi, I just found your blog. I live in NY and love these pictures so far.
I just read that they are going to redo the UN building.
Here's the article: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/22/arts/design/22nati.html?_r=1&scp=1&sq=UN%20building&st=cse
So it seems you got one of the last available peeks into the frumpy old UN. Makes these photos more special. :)
