Nearly 400 guests—decked out in sequins, gold, and eclectic flair—came together at the iconic United Palace in Washington Heights to kick off the 22nd Annual Open House New York Weekend in spectacular style.

About the United Palace
Built in 1930 as one of Loew’s “Wonder Theatres,” the United Palace was one of the region’s premier vaudeville and movie houses. Designed by noted architect Thomas Lamb (James Earl Jones Theatre, Ziegfeld Theatre) with interiors by decorative specialist Harold Rambusch (Waldorf Astoria, The Roxy Theatre), it was described by The New York Times as “Byzantine-Romanesque-Indo-Hindu-Sino-Moorish-Persian-Eclectic-Rococo-Deco” and a “kitchen sink masterpiece.” With more than 3,000 seats, it is still the fourth largest venue of its kind in Manhattan.
About OHNY Weekend
Open House New York Weekend is a five-borough festival that helps people understand why the city looks, feels, and functions the way it does. Attended by more than 30,000 people—including New Yorkers from 84% of the city’s zip codes—the festival is a celebration of design, culture, and civic investment.
