So at least the home of United Nations Lobbying is back in action. The Vienna Cafe is famous for those side conversations that often break deadlocks or interest governments in a position. The United nations has been refurbished over 4-5 years and this was one of the last parts to be finished. It sits in the UN between the largest conference room 4 and the other three conference rooms. In negotiations after the initial plenary they tend to have two working groups one in room 4 and one in 1,2 or 3. To get from 4 to 1,2,3 you have to walk past the Vienna Cafe s it is ideal for catching government officials. Here you see Tomas Gonzalez with me on the first day it  opened.
