About this event
Join Open House New York on a boat tour exploring the transformative role of financial, cultural, and community capital on New York’s waterfront. Andrew Gustafson of Turnstile Tours will lead a tour highlighting capital projects, housing, and industrial development shaping neighborhoods and shorelines along the East River. Passing by Randalls, Rikers, and Wards Islands on the way to the mouth of the Bronx River, this tour will offer participants the chance to see waterways rarely traversed by tour boats.

With over 500 miles of waterfront, New York’s harbors are home to various projects and places that generate economic, environmental, and cultural value for the city. From community land trusts to affordable housing developments to the industrial food center at Hunts Point, this tour will spotlight areas of investment along the waterfront while offering breathtaking views of the city skyline.

This program is part of Building Capital: The Value of Place, a multi-year series exploring how different types of capital—including financial, cultural, and community capital—combine to shape the quality of place and quality of life across the five boroughs and how these intersecting systems of capital can reverse legacies of disinvestment. This program is made possible with support from the National Endowment for the Arts and Bloomberg Philanthropies.

Discounted tickets are available for OHNY members. If you have not received the code, please email membership@ohny.org.

All persons who board the boat, including infants and children, require a ticket. Email info@ohny.org to purchase discounted tickets for children 12 and under.

Guests must check-in and be on board the boat by 6:20pm. The boat will depart from Pier 16, South Street Seaport (John Street and the East River), promptly at 6:30pm.

Ticket sales are final. There will be no refunds for bad weather, tardiness, unforeseen route modifications, or any other reason except in the extremely rare instance where the cruise must be cancelled entirely. If you have purchased a ticket but can no longer attend, we can donate your ticket to a community partner.

Join us at Threes Brewing in Gowanus for the NYC debut of Pils & Love, a storied celebration of all things Pilsners!

For one-day-only, we’ll welcome 50+ breweries from around the world to showcase their finest pilsners.

The inaugural Pils & Love event took place in 2017 in Portland, Maine after legendary brewmaster Agostino Arioli of Birrificio Italiano tapped Oxbow Brewing Company to host a stateside festival inspired by Pils Pride, which Agostino had introduced in Italy starting in 2006. We are honored to be selected by Arioli to host this year’s Pils & Love for the first time ever in New York City!

Session Times:
12-3pm
4-7pm

Tickets include a commemorative cup and unlimited pours. A portion of the ticket proceeds will be donated to The Bowery Mission, which serves New Yorkers in need.

Alongside Arioli and Birrificio Italiano, original Pils & Love hosts Oxbow & Firestone Walker Brewing Company and other esteemed breweries, we’re thrilled to gather enthusiasts and new fans alike around this iconic beer style. Grab your tickets now.
