Open House New York

Tomorrow and Sunday are Open House New York. This is the fourth annual weekend of skyscrapers, architectural firms, landmarks, studios, etc, in all five boroughs, being open to the public.

If you have some time, check out the list of sites, and visit one or two.

Of course, some of these places are open other days as well, but all the same, what a nice excuse to go out and see some parts of our City.

In past years I have gone to the top of the arch at Grand Army Plaza, Brooklyn, to the top of the Highbridge Water Tower, uptown, toured the Chelsea Market, visited the lobby of the Williamsburgh Savings Bank (now called One Hanson Place or something like that) and visited a few more interesting sites.

Will I go? Yup. I planned on visiting the Tom Otterness Studio in Brooklyn, but the tours are booked solid. I will visit a few other places, and maybe post a photo or two.

(Go to Nelson A Rockefeller Park, Chambers Street at the Hudson River, for a parkful of this work. A short walk up from Battery Park City. It’s worth seeing.
