Be part of America's largest architecture and design event in the city at the annual Open House New York. Visitors can put together their own adventure for the weekend and discover new neighbourhoods and explore unknown buildings. From boardrooms to bedrooms, crypts to clubs, factories to firehouses, lighthouses to lookouts, monuments to mansions, skyscrapers to substations and many more, this is a fantastic opportunity to get an insight into spaces or buildings that are usually closed to the public.
America's largest architect and design event, opens doors throughout New York City each October.
