Taking the NYC Ferry Astoria line to travel between sites during OHNY Weekend? Download a special free audio tour with Open House New York and Turnstile Tours and turn the ride into an informative and entertaining experience as you float down the East River!

Board at an Astoria line ferry terminal and hit play to start a one-hour virtual tour examining historical buildings along the waterfront of Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens, and select sites at each ferry stop. Learn about landmarks of the industrial age in Wallabout Bay; sky-scraping housing along the Lower East Side, Midtown Manhattan, and Long Island City waterfronts; the past and present of East River’s barge traffic; and the natural and manmade islands that stretch along the river.

The audio guide is available free on Bloomberg Connects, the app that offers access to exclusive original content at hundreds of cultural organizations.
