Christopher Street

Christopher Street The last Sunday of June each year parade the gay community to celebrate the traditional 'Gay Pride Parade new yorker', low from north to south through the Fifth Avenue to pass through the small streets of the Village and ends at Christopher Street gay pride symbol, where many traders adorn their facades with the multicolor flag of the rainbow coalition during the twelve months of the year; in their cozy cafes, restaurants, and boutiques sexhops, so you will find a number of shops called XXX, especially between 7th Avenue and Hudson Street. Christopher Street is a street in the West Village, is the continuation of the street 8, west of the intersection with the Sixth Avenue. His reputation as a street more gay in the Village goes back at least to World War II, when it provided R & R for gay sailors. In 1953, Wonderful Town sang with a wink how "interesting people live on Christopher Street." Finally on this subject, don't forget to bring a road map. The West Village does not follow the layout of the streets beautifully, logic from the rest of Manhattan. The streets were established before the trade routes that existed when the area was mostly farmland.
