Description:

Uncover the history of the gay rights movement in one of New York’s oldest neighborhoods on this walking tour along Christopher Street. Hear about the Stonewall riots, examine sculptures created by George Segal, and visit 3 different bars to meet and chat with native New Yorkers.

Join your tour guide at the beginning of Christopher Street, just steps from the Hudson River in the West Village. Make your first stop at the Stonewall, a gay bar in the former space of the Stonewall Inn. This historic watering hole was a prominent refuge for the LGBT community in the late 1960s. When it was raided by police on June 28, 1969, riots broke out that would eventually lead to a national demand for gay rights. Hear about the building and the neighborhood’s significance as you grab your first drink of the evening.

Across the street in Christopher Park, pause for a moment to examine the 4 bronze statues that make up Gay Liberation, an art installation by famed sculptor George Segal that pays tribute to the sacrifices and successes of the Gay Liberation movement.

Continue on down Christopher Street, heading deeper into Greenwich Village’s collection of trendy cafes, historic buildings, and vibrant drinking establishments. Spend the rest of your time visiting 2 more bars, reflecting on the history of this proud community and engaging with the local residents who call this neighborhood home.
