The Stonewall Inn is on the Tour

The Stonewall Inn, often shortened to Stonewall is an American bar in New York City and the site of the Stonewall riots of 1969, which are widely considered the start of the modern gay liberation movement. It is located at 53 Christopher Street, between West 4th Street and Waverly Place, in Greenwich Village. The Stonewall riots are regarded as the single most important event that led to the modern movement for gay and lesbian issues.[1] Later the western, left hand half was reopened called "Stonewall" (1990s) and recently it was renovated and returned to its original name "The Stonewall Inn" (2007).
