"Because OHNY provides access! And the citizens of New York deserve to peek inside as many buildings as possible. I believe in public architecture and essential facilities, and I also believe that these civic buildings should allow for some level of transparency. I am thrilled to have been able to both take advantage of and provide this transparency through OHNY weekend tours."
Patrick M., Metropolitan Member
