Open House New York: Much More Than Houses

The seventh annual openhousenewyork event will take place this weekend; all told, there are over 350 events in all five boroughs showcasing New York architecture and design, and the scheduled tours and talks span a wide array of cultural key points. The line-up in Brooklyn, for example, includes a tour of the Atlantic Avenue Tunnel, BAM, Brooklyn Bridge Park, the Lyceum, the City Reliquary, Tom Otterness' studio, and a long list of historical sites that may or may not be on your radar, such as the Pieter Claesen Wyckoff House, the oldest home in New York City, or the St. Ann and the Holy Trinity Episcopal Church. For the full (very full) listing, check out openhousenewyork's website. And did we mention that it's free?

Wyckoff House is amazing--so old it's practically Brooklyn Medieval (at least the oldest section), and still miraculously in the same spot. Location is far from the Brownstone Belt, so it's too often overlooked, but it's worth the trip.
