openhousenewyork offers a fantastic weekend of free tours and programs at architectural destinations across the five boroughs, many of which are usually closed to the public or usually charge admission. Over the past few years, we have seen many memorable sites paired with excellent discussions, including the Chrysler Building, Governors Island, the Grand Lodge of Masons, the High Line, and Ellis Island.
The program is a great opportunity to see places you’ve heard about but might not have ever visited, like the Bartow-Pell Mansion, the Bronx Museum of the Arts, Roosevelt Island, Fort Totten, Wave Hill, the Little Red Lighthouse, and lots of other gardens, churches, libraries, synagogues, parks, cultural institutes, cemeteries, schools, architecture studios, historical monuments, museums, and more.
Seriously, don’t miss this!
