The New York Junior League's Annual House Tours are devoted to showcasing New York City's prestigious and luxurious residences, while highlighting architecture, art, history and the exquisite style of interior design. House Tour showcases homes in some of the city's most sought-after neighborhoods, including Midtown East, the Meatpacking District, the Upper West Side and the West Village. The tour commences with a breakfast at the Astor House, followed by a self-guided tour through the homes; a buffet lunch, post-tour cocktail reception, and silent auction are also included.
