Select sites participating in OHNY Weekend and listings nearby or within
In the weeks following September 11, 2001, a time when much of the city was closing itself off through increased security measure, Open House New York (OHNY) was established as a counterpoint to provide a deeper look at the people, projects, infrastructure, and systems that define New York City and its future. OHNY offers year-round programming like tours, lectures, screenings, and parties, and the highlight is OHNY Weekend. It started with 84 sites in all five boroughs, and has since expanded to over 300 destinations including residential buildings, manufacturing workshops, infrastructure facilities, and performance spaces.
This year, OHNY Weekend takes place from October 17-19, 2025. While tours of many of the in-demand buildings and projects are sold out, apartment hunters can visit the residential buildings any time by scheduling a tour. Indeed, many nearby listings are located in the buildings themselves.

The Skyscraper Museum celebrates New York City's rich architectural heritage. Described as a "vertical Versailles" for its reflective stainless steel floors and ceilings of mirrors, it has two permanent exhibitions and a temporary exhibition, "The Modern Concrete Skyscraper," that examines why today's skyscrapers are built out of concrete instead of steel.
Battery Park City Authority
Earlier this summer, Wagner Park reopened after a two-year overhaul to protect it from rising waters and the effects of climate change. This tour demonstrates how infrastructure and landscape architecture can work as one to keep the beloved park open and resilient.
