Open House New York Weekend<\/p>\n

When:<\/h3>\n

Friday, Saturday and Sunday, October 12-14, 2018<\/p>\n

Why:<\/h3>\n

Open House New York Weekend is a citywide celebration of architecture and urban design. Now in its sixteenth year, it presents a deep dive into more than 250 buildings across the five boroughs, from historic to contemporary. Tours and talks with leading architects, urban planners, historians and preservationists are at the core of this three-day event. \u00a0You\u2019ll get a privileged look at New York City\u2019s extraordinary architectural gems typically not accessible to the general public.<\/p>\n

New For 2018<\/h2>\n

\"Dime

Even if you\u2019ve participated in OHNY before, 2018 presents new opportunities loaded with visual appeal.<\/p>\n

Checkout the Brooklyn Navy Yard’s\u00a0Building 77<\/strong>, where a top-to-bottom rehabilitation has transformed a WWII US Navy warehouse into a 21st-century industrial hub.<\/p>\n

The Dime Savings Bank\u00a0of Brooklyn<\/strong> is a pristinely preserved Gilded Age landmark with an opulent domed rotunda.<\/p>\n

oM readers won\u2019t want to miss snooping around the\u00a0Mother Clara Hale Bus Depot<\/strong>\u00a0in Harlem. This LEED Gold-certified transit hub features a green roof and solar heating wall.<\/p>\n

Bring the Kids<\/h2>\n

\"sharks

If you\u2019ve got kids, Ocean Wonders: Sharks! at the New York Aquarium<\/strong> is a new exhibition by Edelman Sultan Knox Wood that lets visitors go nose-to-nose with eighteen kinds of sharks and rays, with daytime tours of the building and evening tours of the lighting.<\/p>\n

Factory Friday<\/h3>\n

\"new

Open House New York Weekend expands to three days this year, with\u00a0Factory Friday<\/em>\u00a0opening up manufacturing spaces across the city for rarely offered factory tours. Organized in partnership with Made in NYC, an initiative of the Pratt Center for Community Development, this series illustrates how 21st-century manufacturing contributes to a vibrant and diverse urban economy. More than a dozen factories are participating. See how the confections are made at Roni-Sue’s Chocolates\u00a0<\/strong>on the Lower East Side or sample the whiskey and gin to Breuckelen Distilling\u00a0<\/strong>in South Slope, Brooklyn.<\/p>\n

Girl Power<\/h3>\n

\"new

In 2018, Open House New York Weekend celebrates the contributions that women are making to shape the contemporary city, highlighting a range of architecture, landscape architecture and urban design projects that all have a woman as one the principal designers. From libraries and high-rise residential buildings to parks and public spaces, the nearly two-dozen projects featured in\u00a0Works by Women<\/em>\u00a0promote and publicize what women are designing throughout New York. Participating female-driven projects include Domino Park<\/strong> in Williamsburg, and Hunter’s Point South Waterfront Park<\/strong> in Hunter’s Point, Queens.<\/p>\n
