Open House New York!
Any interest in architecture or interior design? Or, you know, have a possibly prurient curiosity about how the other half lives? This weekend is Open House New York‘s big annual weekend event. I have to admit, I’ve been a bad New Yorker in this regard. Even though I’ve lived in New York since the event began (this is the seventh year), I had no idea it existed until about a month ago. What a thing to miss! This weekend (October 10 and 11), over 350 behind-the-scenes tours of New York buildings and architecture will be available completely free, including both private homes and public buildings. Never gotten to see the inside of the Woolworth Building properly? Here’s your chance. All kinds of buildings in all five boroughs not normally open to the public will be available for viewing this weekend. Even if you’re feeling lazy or afraid to deal with the impending appalling MTA closures, chances are something interesting is open near you.
