Archtober 2026: NYC Architecture and Design Month
Through Oct 31
Citywide (Archtober partner sites), Citywide, Manhattan
Open House New York
Open House New York Weekend runs Friday October 16 through Sunday October 18, 2026, opening more than 300 buildings and sites across all five boroughs — many of them places the public never otherwise gets inside. Most sites are walk-up with no booking, but the ones with space or security limits require tickets, and those are released on October 2, 2026.
