The Fall Crafts in Chelsea is this Saturday, October 15th from 10am-5pm. The block long event takes place on W. 21st Street between 8th and 9th Avenues. The semi annual show benefits PS 11. Etsy NewNew team used to organize it before handing it over to BK Craft Central. Yeah, I’ll be participating with my reclaimed stuff, so come visit!

The 33rd Annual Bed Stuy House Tour takes place this Saturday, October 15th, 11am-4pm, rain or shine. The event is brought to you by The Brownstoners of Bed Stuy, a group that was formed back in 1978 when Bed Stuy was Do or Die. Many homes in the neighborhood still have much of their historic detail intact as there wasn’t an influx of gentrifiers doing gut renovations. Tickets are $15 in advance or $20 day of. Proceeds go towards college scholarships for students at the Boys & Girls High School and the programs at Brooklyn Academy High School.

Finally, the big weekend long event is Open House New York, when you can gain free access hundreds of sites, talks, tours, performances and family activities throughout the five boroughs. Private residences, landmarks, rooftop farms and sustainable skyscrapers will open their doors to the public. So, what’s the catch? The crowds. For $150 you can buy a front of the line passport. Or you can just visit these places some other time.
