Over the weekend, we looked at just a few of the many OHNY sites: the Newtown Wastewater Treatment Plant, an MTA Substation, and the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Here's a gallery of some of our other favorites, submitted by Gothamist users.

       

There are so many Open House New York sites open this weekend, and so little time to see them all! So we picked two that seemed interesting: this MTA powerstation on 53rd Street (built in 1901 by Heins & Lafarge, with help from McKim, Mead and White,) and the Newtown Creek Water Treatment Plant (which we'll tour tomorrow morning.) We need your help to visit the rest: please send your on-location pictures to photos@gothamist.com or tag them "gothamist" on Flickr, and we'll put up a gallery tomorrow night.

       

This Saturday, as part of Open House NY, the Green-Wood Historic Fund and Dance Theatre Etcetera will bring Angels & Accordions to the cemetery. "A site-specific, live music and dance performance that guides audience members through historic Green-Wood Cemetery’s rolling hills, highlighting its unparalleled collection of sculpture and monuments." Looks like the 30 dancers involved have been doing some practicing! To check it out in real life, head over there tomorrow at noon or 3:30 p.m.

As we previously noted, the annual weekend extravaganza known as Open House New York is nearly upon us. Taking place next weekend (October 10th and 11th), all of the tours available have now been posted online. While they're free, the most coveted ones have a limited amount of space and require reservations. Act now!

Attention architecture porn aficionados: Open House New York is back for their 7th annual weekend event, which will give you the key to places you normally wouldn't be allowed to enter. This will all go down on October 10th and 11th, with 350 tours, talks and programs in all five boroughs. Renee Schacht, executive director of OHNY, says "This year, we are thrilled to feature private residences, historic landmarks, architect and artist studios, and new sites that demonstrate sustainable design.”

       

Over the weekend some of New York's closed doors were opened up to the public, for the annual Open House New York weekend. Take a look at some images that have popped up--and here's a look inside the Brooklyn Navy Yard, where they'll now be offering $30 tours. Did you see any interesting spots?

It's that time of year again, to sneak into those off-limits nooks of New York! Today Open House New York, a favorite annual event, has opened up advance reservations for some of this year's tours (though some are on a first come, first serve basis). Hopefully you didn't have your hopes up to see McCarren Park Pool, as that one's been mysteriously cancelled. For the rest, they instruct that "advance reservations for participation will be listed online and in the printed event guide. Please follow the RSVP email or phone instructions found within the site or program listing." You can also purchase a passport for the weekend (which will get you into non-reservation events), and tickets for the Launch Party, being held in the raw space of the Penthouse at One York in Tribeca, on October 3rd. View Saturday's tours here, and Sunday's here. Something to note: today's NY Times has a OHNY Weekend Event Guide.
