The Chrysler Building is closed to the public for most of the year. Open House New York, a 5-borough event that is supposed to give the public a chance to peak into these locked spaces did just that: it gave me a peak.

Open House New York, the fourth of its kind, opens many of these buildings up.

Some of the most fun I’ve had while taking road trips around the East Coast is stopping in small towns and shopping for antiques.

I’ve always been interested in secret things: secret rooms, hidden passageways, and revolving doors. I like the shady nooks and crannies, places you might not see with the unexperienced eye.
