The UN General Assembly is in town and along with the leaders and dignitaries from all over the world come their families, entourages, security, staff, translators, and protesters with their people. While it is cool to be in the city with such important people with such important things going on, the city is fenced up and some streets are closed. Streets, restaurants, stores, not to mention hotels are stuffed to the brim. There is crazy traffic everywhere and people are really pissed. It's scary walking around and hearing folks freak out. There are even non-General Assembly outbursts.
I saw this woman who was out on a jog get confronted by an ex in a suit:
Guy: Are you dating him?
Girl: Stop it.
Guy: Well, are you dating him?
Girl: Stop it! Yeah, I'm dating him!
Please, don't drive. Walk or take the subway. Namaste, people.
