From Sept. 18 to Oct.1, 2018, Hammarskjold Plaza is on high-security or lockdown when state officials visit the United Nations during the General Assembly. Expect marches and protest groups from around the globe, some with amplified sound. Tudor City Place and East 41st through East 47th streets from First Avenue to Second Avenue will be closed while the Assembly is in session. The garden is closed and barricaded.
