During your lunch break, you may not have a lot of time to look for places to eat, which is why we did it for you! Here are a few options for a quick and affordable lunch in Midtown NYC, near the United Nations Headquarters and the Grand Hyatt.
As we get deeper into the holiday season, WIMUN is getting closer and closer! As all of you (we hope) are aware, the conference takes place in New York City.

Preparing your suitcase and knowing what to bring to any event or holiday is already stressful, so packing for the New York City winter can be a nightmare if you haven’t experienced it!

The role of Under-Secretary-General (USG) for General Assembly Affairs and Conference Management (conveniently shortened to GAACM!) is perhaps one of the most challenging yet rewarding roles available. It requires the individual to know everything that is taking place at the conference, be in contact with everyone taking part and have an eye for detail, since there are so many small challenges that present themselves during a conference.
