We start at the site where it all happened: Stonewall National Monument (formerly Christopher Park) across from the Stonewall Inn. We then check out the site of the first LGBTQ bookstore: Oscar Wilde Memorial Bookstore and venture to Julius’ Bar, one of the oldest bars in the city and site of the “sip-in.” We will view the AIDS Memorial, First Presbyterian Church: Home of the First PFLAG Meeting, the LGBT Center, site of the former 8th Street Bookstore and Two Fifth Avenue: home to the late Larry Kramer, Edie Windsor and Bella Abzug. Our tour ends in Washington Square Park – and anyone who wishes, can join us as we walk back to the Stonewall Inn for a toast!
Accessibility
We will be walking at a moderate pace on NYC sidewalks, stopping from time to time to point out places of interest along the way; not all crosswalks have curb cuts; a few stops along the route contain benches.
