New York is a city of immigrants. If you were to poll riders on any given rush hour subway car, I suspect you’d find people who hail from a dozen or more different countries. A map of New York’s neighborhoods is a mosaic of ethnic enclaves; a walk down many city blocks is a festival of restaurants, clothing and groceries representing nations near and far. The United Nations is here, in its gleaming building on the East River — and this week, representatives from its member states are meeting at its General Assembly — and this city is a fitting home for its mission of cooperation and connection across borders.
