Along with apple picking, cider drinking, and rolling our eyes at overly-topical Halloween costumes (this year, it's pizza rat), one of New York's most beloved fall traditions has to be Open House New York. For one weekend each year, some of the city's most historic (and exclusive) buildings open their doors to the public, giving both looky-lous and history buffs a peek into the city's past—as well as how the other half lives.

It's a fair assumption that a lot of New Yorkers are feeling really jealous today now that news is making the rounds about two Hudson Yards renters who got a $25 million buyout of their Hell's Kitchen tenement. Unsurprisingly, the pair have since moved onto a luxury building, Riverbank West.
