## Resource

Next week, the UN General Assembly hits NYC — and it’s going to turn Midtown into a traffic nightmare. From Sept 21–25, expect gridlock, street closures, and speeds slower than a snail. The city is urging everyone to ditch cars and take the subway — especially East Side lines — as buses get rerouted and FDR Drive may shut down. With car speeds dropping below 4 mph, public transit is your only smart move. Plan ahead, check the MTA app, and avoid the chaos — your time is worth more than stuck-in-traffic frustration.
