Stonewall Inn

Stonewall Inn
53 Christopher St
New York, NY 10014

This trip to New York, we visited the Stonewall Inn.  As their website proclaims, this is the place "where pride began."  The gay rights movement basically began here in 1969.  It was here that many gays and lesbians rioted against the police for trying to stop them from dancing and drinking.  Read the full history here.


It has a full bar.  


There is also an upstairs lounge area.  We saw an amateur drag show here.  


I really enjoyed visiting this bar.  The drinks were good and strong, and not too terribly expensive.  I think each was about $6.  I really enjoyed visiting this bar, where history was made.  Go there.
