The sites that will be participating in this year’s openhousenewyork Weekend are scheduled to be announced on October 2 at 11:00 am, with some of the programs requiring advance reservations. In the past, RSVPs were free, but it will now cost you a five-dollar service charge to gain a coveted spot on many of the more exclusive tours. The annual celebration of architecture and design, now in its eleventh year, is always a thrilling two days that give visitors access to some remarkable places that are usually not open to the public, in addition to tours and lectures of more familiar locations. There are special activities for kids, live performances, dialogues, and more across all five boroughs. You can also buy an OHNY Weekend Passport for $150, which will get you to the front of the line for everything except those programs that require advance RSVP, so get ready for the mad rush at 11:00.
