The Open City Benefit is a celebration of the power of place and new possibilities for our city.
On April 18, join hundreds of fellow Open House New Yorkers at the Open City Benefit, a celebration of North Javits: Rooftop Pavilion and Farm, part of the $1.5 billion expansion of the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center.
The Open City Benefit is Open House New York’s single largest source of support, making possible our work to promote broad, unparalleled access to the city—the places, people, projects, systems, and ideas that define New York and its future. And it is a ton of fun.

Open City Award
The Open City Award honors the team behind a newly opened or opening place of singular importance to the past, present, and future of New York City. These are the significant projects, often born from visionary aspirations and years in the making, that embody the spirit of openness, access, vitality, and connectivity that symbolize New York’s continued growth, preeminence, and capacity for renewal. The Open City Award is conferred onsite at the Open City Benefit.
