The Brownstone Boys have fundamentally influenced how New York City’s historic homes are reimagined today. In this panel, design editor and author Ingrid Abramovitch will speak to how Barry and Jordan explore the intersection of preservation and modern living. Discover how to shepherd a 125-year-old property into its next chapter without erasing its past, and where the true line between restoration and renovation lives.

TICKET INCLUDES SHOWHOUSE ADMISSION

Join Corrin McCoy and Louisa Roberts of NEAT Method NYC, who bring a combined 20 years of professional organizing experience, for a conversation about making beautifully designed spaces work for everyday life.

Using their Brooklyn Heights Designer Showhouse pantry and laundry room installations as a starting point, they’ll explore how homeowners, designers, and organizers can collaborate on the details—from closets and drawers to built-ins and furniture—to create beautiful spaces tailored to how people live. They’ll also share how that partnership can continue through unpacking and move-in, helping a finished space feel like home from day one.

Whether you’re designing for a client or looking for ideas for your own home, join us for mimosas and conversation, and receive a copy of the NEAT Method book.

Join Mahj with Marissa for an evening of American Mahjong and raffle prizes at the Brooklyn Heights Designer Showhouse. New York-based instructor Marissa Broman brings her approachable teaching style to the table for a relaxed open play session designed for players looking to sharpen their skills, connect with neighborhood players, and enjoy a little friendly competition. This event is great for people of all levels, as long as mahjong lessons have been taken.

The tables will be dressed with Brooklyn Mahjong (@bkmahjong), the Brooklyn-based brand pairing the legacy of Mahjong with beautifully designed, modern tiles and accessories. Cocktails and snacks will be served as you play, with prizes throughout the evening, all set against the newly transformed spaces of the Designer Showhouse. 

A little strategy, a little luck, and a chance to experience the Showhouse after hours. Come for the Mahj, stay for the company and the design. Each ticket includes general admission to the Showhouse during the event.

Step into the glamour of the Gilded Age to meet the bold, creative, and determined women who helped shape New York City—but whose stories have too often been overlooked. Discover the lives and legacies of women including Elizabeth Keckley, Ann Lowe, Lucy Burns, and Emily Warren Roebling, and explore their influence on Brooklyn and NYC. We’ll also revisit the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire and its lasting impact on labor rights and workplace safety.

Grab a drink, tour the showhouse and then settle in for a riveting discussion about our history. This interactive conversation is open to all ages. We’d love for you to bring the young women in your life to get inspired! 

Led by Terese Brown, CEO of Terese Sydonna, and Jillian Gaeta, Co-Founder of Roots to Revolution, both born and raised in New York City.
