NEW YORK CITY Welcome to
NYC
N
ew York City is home to more than 8.6 million people and stands as the world’s dynamic center for the financial, media, advertising, and fashion industries. Complementing these industries are fine dining, visual and performing arts, shopping and nightlife that would impress even the most discriminating traveler. The city is divided into five boroughs: Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx, and Staten Island. New York City is often referred to simply as “The City.” The New York City FunTravel® Guide will help you explore the gay and lesbian side of “The City” so you can have a thrilling time. 2019 marks the 50th Anniversary of the Stonewall Riots, which took place in front of the Stonewall Inn, a popular Greenwich Village gay bar. This protest was the beginning of the Gay Liberation movement, which changed the world forever. The NYC LGBTQ+ Community stood up for their rights and freedoms, beginning a world-wide movement for gay recognition and civil liberties. New York City is a center of Activism that grows larger every year. World Pride is being celebrated in June, 2019. The City is a sightseer’s mecca and a trip to the Big Apple is not complete without seeing some of the world-famous local sights, including the Statue of Liberty, Empire State Building, Rockefeller and Lincoln Centers, Times Square, Central Park, 9/11 Memorial, Liberty Plaza, The Highline, Riverside Park, the United Nations, and a multitude of museums. Don’t forget to visit the many diverse neighborhoods of Manhattan, including Chelsea, Greenwich Village, East Village, Hell’s Kitchen, Chinatown, and the Financial District. This is only a small sampling of the endless opportunities that travelers from all over the world will find for fun and excitement here in New York City. Trains, subways, buses, taxis, limousines, helicopters, and ferries will get you anywhere you want to go, both in and out of the city. If neverending action becomes a little overwhelming, relaxation can be sought at nearby Fire Island. This beautiful beach oasis will calm your nerves and take your mind away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
