State lawmakers made the first move in a complicated and expensive deal — one that's been years in the making and would likely take years still to complete — to give Robert Moses Playground to the United Nations in exchange for a replacement park.
The law, which was recently passed by both houses and awaits the governor's signature, would allow the UN to build a new tower on the 1.3-acre playground sitting just south of its headquarters between 42nd and 41st streets between the FDR Drive and First Avenue.
