Open House New York's reservations-required list

Open House New York has made its full list of free tours available a bit sooner than expected. NewYorkology is pulling together the list of places that require reservations. Officially you can start making reservations Friday morning at 9 a.m.

Other highlights for the October 6 and 7 OHNY weekend that don't require reservations include a Rockefeller Center roof garden, the High Bridge Water Tower, the Soldiers & Sailors monuments at both Grand Army Plaza and Riverside Park, the Prince George Ballroom, the General Theological Seminary and the Little Red Lighthouse.
