If you’ve ever wanted to step behind the velvet ropes of New York City’s most iconic and hidden architectural gems, this weekend is your chance! Open House New York Weekend (October 12–14, 2025) is back, and it’s bigger and better than ever.
For three days only, the city opens its doors wide, inviting you to explore over 300 incredible buildings—many of which are normally closed to the public. From soaring skyscrapers and historic townhouses to modern marvels and quirky spots, this event is a playground for architecture lovers, history buffs, and curious adventurers alike.
Imagine climbing staircases in the Chrysler Building, wandering secret gardens in the Upper East Side, or discovering the craftsmanship behind old libraries and theaters. Every building tells a story, and OHNY gives you the keys to hear it firsthand.
Plus, there are guided tours, fascinating talks, and special exhibitions. Whether you’re a New Yorker looking to rediscover your city or a visitor craving insider access, this weekend is pure magic.
