Where to Soak Up New York City's LGBTQ History

"The birthplace of the modern LGBTQ+ rights movement (known as the gay rights movement at the time), The Stonewall Inn is a popular gay bar that was the site of a 1969 riot against the NYPD's practice of raiding queer spaces and arresting patrons. It's still a fully operational venue, offering dance parties, drag shows, bingo nights, community events, and much more. Swing by on a weekday for happy hour, when beer is just $6 (21+ only). The space is also a U.S. National Monument, as declared by President Obama in June of 2016, and the exterior is often a gathering spot for rallies, memorials, and more collective action." - Melissa Kravitz Hoeffner
