A celebration of everything that makes the city special, Open House New York Weekend provides rare access to noteworthy or significant places across all five boroughs. Sites that may be otherwise inaccessible the rest of year magically swing their doors open, allowing the public to peer behind the curtain. Other sites provide unrivaled tours by accomplished guides.
