If New York's walls could talk, they would probably say something gay.

Hundreds of people came together outside New York City's Stonewall Inn on Christopher Street last night. As the epicenter of the modern gay rights movement, Stonewall and its surrounding streets and pubs, including the equally influential Julius', are natural meeting places for moments of LGBT celebration. What were once secretive haunts are inviting in the evening news, as Stonewall did last night. But there's no shortage of other significant, historic gay spaces in the Big Apple.

I would have gone to the German place a few blocks away to get a liter or two of beer.
