The 2007 openhousenewyork (OHNY) Weekend Event Guide will be inserted into the New York Times city edition at all newsstands in Queens, Brooklyn and the east side of Manhattan on Wednesday, October 3.
On Friday, September 28, home subscriptions received the OHNY Weekend Event Guide, but, due to circumstances beyond OHNY's control, many newssstands did not receive the New York Times edition with our guide. We are remedying this inconvenience with the October 3 insert, and, as of September 28 through the Weekend, guides are available at any OHNY info centers in Manhattan.
In addition, free guides will also be available during the OHNY Weekend at all OHNY sites and info centers.
Please note that advance reservations for sites and programs has started and all reservation information is in the OHNY Event Guide. OHNY does not take reservations; you must contact the specific site or program directly.

I hate the architecture firms opening their offices to tours, I can't help thinking that's SO MUCH BS, and it's like they're becoming the bulk of the sites, over historical ones. How totally totally boring.
― Laurel, Friday, 5 October 2007 17:07 (sixteen years ago) link
Also, how totally up their own collective ass, as if their OFFICE SPACE is as significant as something 200 years old that only the park rangers and the cleaning crew have ever seen apart from this one weekend a year.

i'm not much for the architecture firms, but i'll bet there are a lot of people who are. some of the museums are of architectural interest and have tours. but even the ones that aren't are, you know, free.
― gabbneb, Friday, 5 October 2007 18:19 (sixteen years ago) link
Obviously there are people who are, because they've had more and more company addresses for the past few years. I just think it's self-promotey and in questionable taste to be shoehorned into an event that is (well, was) about historical New York.

And here's some extra good news on Brooklyn's Floyd Bennett Field, New York City's first airport: Despite what it says on the OHNY site, no reservations are required to tour the control tower and passenger tunnels. "It's an open day," according to the National Park Service spokesperson who answered the "reservation" line today.

The Roosevelt Isl Octagon was a total waste of time, except for the nice bike ride. It's been gutted and not restored to any approximation of the original, they simply modernized the whole interior and while it's not ugly, necessarily, I would never go out of my way to see it. Plus they use the tour to try and sell you on their pricey rental apartments which are unfortunately really poorly laid out and underwhelming in every way except the view of the river. Gross.
― Laurel, Sunday, 7 October 2007 00:22 (sixteen years ago) link
Haha, I'm glad I missed that one. The only one I had time for was the Encampment, which was very interesting. Walked past this spooky dark trail to the crumbing edifice of the smallpox hospital, then further along to the Southpoint field, which was set up with illuminated tents. I didn't really understand all of the exhibits within the tents--a lot of them you had to read stuff, but it was hard to read. I didn't want to make the time to actually crawl into each tent, so I just peered in. Great views of the Coca Cola sign, Chrysler and Empire State buliding, and bridges galore. Also took the tram there and back, which was a first for me. New York, why are you so loud when I am trying to sleep at night? I thought Ditmars was supposed to be quiet.
― Virginia Plain, Sunday, 7 October 2007 02:01 (sixteen years ago) link
Oh bummer! I wanted to hit the smallpox hosp, you can sneak into the ruins without too much trouble, but when we got to the main gate at about 5pm it was locked up tight and you couldn't get into the south point at all.
― Laurel, Sunday, 7 October 2007 02:10 (sixteen years ago) link
Wish me luck and good directions, I'm going to try to bike to Floyd Bennett field. Should be interesting.
― Laurel, Sunday, 7 October 2007 18:01 (sixteen years ago) link
Oh my god, you guys, the airfield was so, so cool. It's an NYC Parks Dept holding now, and clearly there's not much money allocated for it cos the place is basically falling down, but there's still some v interesting stuff going on there. They were taking people up to the old control tower, even! Except I'm pretty sure the old man who was showing us around was a Nazi sympathizer of some stripe, b/c he was wearing an otherwise inexplicable giant skull ring. Weird day! I recommend the trip, it's open a few days a week and there's also a hanger where old aircraft are being restored that you can apparently tour (I missed that).
― Laurel, Sunday, 7 October 2007 21:35 (sixteen years ago) link
Interesting. I'm back in VA so couldn't do any more OHNY. Next year maybe. Laurel, I didn't know you could sneak into the smallpox hospital--how exciting. Yeah, they had it locked down until they opened it at 7 for the night viewing. I want to learn more about the history of Roosevelt Island--for instance, I didn't know that it used to be called Blackwell Island.

yesterday - control group as excuse to get into the woolworth building (hi mike!) was, as advertised, "well worth" it, even if the most exciting thing in the office was the collection of 1984 BYTE magazines. talk was reasonably good considering it was an IT dude (?). now i wanna see the pool. tour of the very new teardrop park, led by 20/30-something landscape architects, unbiddenly-aided by Paris Gellar-esque Stuy senior and perhaps more welcomely by local moms, wasn't high-call, but interesting to see what people your age are doing and the park's a really nice surprise. hit of the day was NY Academy of Sciences, inside 7 WTC (which I like more and more as time goes on). skipped the Kushner residence for other obligations. stopped by the Battery Park City thing instead while i grabbed some food, but woman turned up late and seemed lame. Project for Public Spaces was interesting-looking, but I got there at the end of a presentation and it was probably over 90 degrees inside. 163 Charles - cool building - was worth a look from outside on the way to the piers. Lilac wasn't a waste of time, but not terribly interesting either and i hope they've got liability insurance. didn't get to linger too long at the paul rudolph foundation, but it's nice design, and the sir-john-soane-lite-gone-modern collection was diverting, the transformers especially.
today - AM skipped the lighthouse and the harlem river boathouse for other obligs. afternoon, did the mt morris park tour, which was slow-paced (our improvising didn't help tho) and a little heavy on the neighborhood galleries and the architectural stuff wasn't terribly deep, but good local pov and zoning/planning content; worth it if you don't have to be somewhere the following hour (or two). the rest of the day didn't quite come off - rock ctr lines insane/prohibitive/replaced by overrated halal cart, prince george ballroom closed early - but a few minutes at the japan society at the end of the day redeemed it. (somehow i'd never been to dag hammarskjold plaza (across the street) before? at least, not as far as i can remember.) thought my day was done til i remembered the ukrainian institute - inside upstairs is moderately evocative old new york.
events/exhaustion eliminated southpoint.

I waited about 25 mins of line for the rooftop garden on the Brit Empire Bldg at Rock Center, which would've been worth it if no one else was there... Did get an aerial view there of the Polish parade on 5th and his Eminence in front of the Cathedral (wd've been better w/ a telescopic sight).
The Prince George Ballroom was nice, but familiar from other rooms of the period I've seen.

felt like a light year in terms of big shiny must-dos or maybe i've just been here long enough that i've seen most of the big-ticket items. also just don't have a passion for 19th century interiors by and large, and that takes up a lot of the calendar. but still a grand resource.

In theory I wanted to see a lot of this, but I was content to take a walk to see the ceiling of the AT&T lobby and move on.

It's a hell of a ceiling!

Missed it again, rats. I love this but I like going to the far-flung and less popular sites--Floyd Bennet Field and the Highbridge Water Tower and the Little Red Lighthouse etc etc are standouts from past years. The whole idea of crowds and waiting in lines puts me right off.

I'm going to be in town for OHNY this year! I've done the Chicago one a bunch of times and am excited to check out sites in a new city.
