We love to explore all that NYC has to offer.
Day two started off a bit later after our whirlwind day one. The day began by checking out the Edward Hopper studio exhibit at the NYU Silver School of Social Work on the corner of Washington Square park which was Edward Hopper's live in studio.
For Open House New York weekend this year, we tried to be as prepared as possible and both were logged on exactly at 11AM on the morning reservations opened. We had a lot of competition, so didn't get everything we wanted, but did get quite a few new places to check out.
Michele and I headed to Brooklyn Bridge Park to check out the Photoville exhibit on the very last day (because we are slackers). Brooklyn Bridge Park in itself has many events and attractions to check out.
A great fall weekend in New York City, Open House New York is a chance to get a peek into buildings around the city that often are not open to the public. I found out about Open House New York (OHNY) first through Time Out magazine only a few years ago, but this year will be the 12th annual weekend, October 11th and 12th.
Summer Streets happens in New York three Saturdays each August. Park Avenue and Lafayette streets are closed for a combined almost seven miles to allow New Yorkers to bike, run, walk, roller blade, and generally enjoy not having to worry much about the cars.
NYC Bike Riding Tips. Wear a helmet. I don't care what kind of bike you ride, protect your brain silly. Stick to the bike lanes and green-ways. You can keep your ride somewhat vehicle free by checking the ride the city app. Enjoy. The views from the green-ways are amazing as they run along the water, under the Brooklyn Bridge, and across boroughs.
We had been to many games but none of us had ever toured the new stadium. I had no idea this was a thing until I stumbled upon it. You can opt for a "behind the scenes" tour on a game day or not as well as a VIP tour or a standard one. On our tour we visited the museum, memorial park, the delta box, and my favorite the Press box.
