If you stand outside Stonewall, you are likely to witness people pass by this bar with a look of reverent pride. Usually they are visiting the city and have made a pilgrimage to the place where, over 30 years ago, life changed forever for the city's gay community. Stonewall was the site of the infamous 1969 police raid and subsequent riot that set off the gay pride movement in the United States. It is now a somewhat touristy, upscale gay pub. Cash only.
