Poetry pops up in five New York City parks

Lockport, NY—Congresswoman Claudia Tenney (NY-24) today hosted a roundtable discussion in Albion, New York, to provide a forum for local law enforcement leaders and elected officials to discuss the challenges facing the community. Interested in recording a tour but don’t have access to video specialists or professional equipment? We welcome professionally recorded tours by video specialists as well as low-cost productions made with little or no prior recording experience. A gimbal or stabilizer for your smartphone can make a dramatic improvement in video quality, and a variety of models are available for less than $100. Using a headset with a microphone – even the headphones that came with your phone – will provide better audio quality than using your phone alone. For Open Access locations, the public is permitted to visit on a drop-in basis during set hours on one or multiple days of OHNY Weekend.

For nearly two decades, Partners have welcomed hundreds of thousands of visitors during the Weekend. We strongly recommend that visitors also sign waivers for any experience requiring safety precautions such as a helmet, hardhat, life jacket, etc.. OHNY staff will review your organization’s waiver form, and, if necessary provide an additional form to ensure the safety of visitors and Partners. If you’re really interested in recycling, you should head across the borough to Bushwick to visit Sure We Can, a nonprofit communal space run by and for the city’s canners.

The best spots for free outdoor music in NYC this summer

Launched in 2019, Metropolitan is a membership circle that brings together like-minded professionals for city adventures and community building. If you have a dog-eared copy of The Power Broker, hold strong opinions about Open Streets, or think a sewer tour makes a great date, OHNY Metropolitan is for you. From wind farms to energy storage, explore renewable infrastructure investments along our city’s working waterfront that address climate change. About 175 OHNY Weekend experiences are “open access,” meaning no ticket is required. “Nothing reflects the dynamism and diversity of New York quite like OHNY Weekend. And nothing rivals the experience of exploring and discovering the city alongside thousands of New Yorkers and visitors from around the world,” Pamela Puchalski, executive director of Open House New York, said.

Claudia has repeatedly demonstrated a genuine concern for her constituents and our quality of life. Weekend Partners are individuals and organizations that provide broad public access to places, free of charge, during OHNY Weekend. Partners include public, private, cultural, and civic sectors, spanning a variety of industries, disciplines, audiences. What unites them is a love for the city and a commitment to foster connection and experience with a special or noteworthy place. Open House New York Weekend is a citywide celebration of architecture, urban design, and New York City. For two days each October, Open House New York unlocks the doors of New York’s most important buildings, offering an extraordinary opportunity to experience the city and meet the people who design, build, and preserve New York.

NYPD says "outside agitators" at Columbia are "trying to hijack a peaceful protest"

The college “immediately restored full access for these students to residence halls, dining facilities, classrooms, and other parts of campus,” according to a statement from the school released Friday. The Seaport Museum invites you to take a special guided tour of the 138-year-old flagship of the Museum’s fleet, and you’ll even be able to walk the length of the vessel’s massive cargo hold––not usually open to the public. Built of riveted wrought iron, Wavertree is an archetype of the sailing ships of the latter half of the 19th century that, during the “age of sail,” lined South Street by the dozens, creating a forest of masts from the Battery to the Brooklyn Bridge.

Black Comic Book Festival returns to NYC this month

The university has "long-standing protocols that allow for peaceful protesting" and has been working with the school community to ensure they are followed during the school year, Folt said. Encampments, unless they are part of an approved event, are prohibited by the university, the spokesperson said in an earlier statement. Throughout the week, several schools called police on protesters, leading to the arrests of hundreds across the country. Protesters have demanded schools divest campus funds from entities connected to Israel. The Brooklyn Navy Yard will throw open its gates on SATURDAY ONLY, 12pm–6pm, and at least 35 artists and manufacturers are taking part.

Venues include the AT&T Long Distance Building Lobby, the garden at 550 Madison, Bartow-Pell Mansion Museum, Lotus Garden and many more. The schedule also includes walking tours, such as the Birthplace of Hip-Hop Walking Tour, 42nd Street Theater Block Walking Tour, and an Audobon Mural Project Walking Tour. Here's the full calendar of events, which you can filter by location, date and type. Open House New York Weekend invites all to experiene a sense of discovery and delight.

This weekend, October 16th & 17th, Open House New York returns with a lineup of 200 things to do across all five boroughs. First launched in 2001, the annual OHNY weekend gives New Yorkers a chance to access off-limits sights and delve deeper into iconic landmarks with a series of tours, talks, and open hours. This year, for its 20th anniversary, OHNY is back with a mix of in-person and virtual events, plus new COVID-19 protocols (bring your vaccination card, ID, and mask).

Since its founding in the wake of 9/11, when much of the city was closed off due to increased security, the Weekend has provided access to thousands of places with architectural and cultural significance. It also provides an inside look at the city’s infrastructure and systems, both natural and constructed, to spotlight how nearly 9 million people live, work, and move across the five boroughs and beyond. OHNY’s recently expanded mission incorporates an investigation of racial, ethnic, community, civic, economic, and environmental issues that define quality of place and quality of life in New York. By offering an insider’s look at the forces that shape the city, OHNY Weekend promotes a deeper understanding of how the city functions and whom it serves, and demonstrates the power of place to improve the lives of all New Yorkers.

Join city leaders to explore the critical issues shaping New York while enjoying the kind of inside access that only Open House New York can provide. "OHNY provides avenues for me to advocate for positivity in our civic life and to expand the service of all this place has to offer to everyone." Open House New York is a nonprofit organization that promotes unparalleled access to the city—to the places, people, projects, systems, and ideas that define New York and its future. Outline your talking points and visual shots in advance, and think about the story you want to tell through your program. Test your equipment beforehand and make sure the scene is well-lit and the recording is audible.

The theory of change guiding our work is that an informed public fosters greater civic participation, which in turn catalyzes an open city. On October 20-22, 2023, the 21st annual OHNY Weekend welcomed over 25,000 visitors into 330+ places across the five boroughs, spanning 128 neighborhoods, and nearly 1,400 zip codes. The lottery system for ticketed locations filled over 7,000 slots across the three-day festival.
