gay history tour
Garner a fresh and unexpected appreciation of world-famous park statuary and landmarks, such as Bethesda Terrace, the Mall, the Ramble, Strawberry Fields and Sheep Meadow, once you hear the little-known stories that reveal their historic significance to the gay and lesbian community.
On the surface, Central Park is a skillfully arranged topography of woodlands, meadows and water features, but below lies a gooey rainbow-colored core of delectable gay and lesbian history. Amble with David on this eye-opening journey that yanks the veil off untold accounts of trailblazing gays and lesbians.
Visit more than a dozen of Central Park’s most storied locations.
