Lonely Planet review

Not much more than a few park benches and some trees bounded by an old-fashioned wrought-iron gate, Sheridan Sq's location - the heart of gay Greenwich Village - means it's witnessed every rally, demonstration and uprising that contributed to the gay rights movement. It also holds two sets of slender white statues - one male and one female couple, holding hands and talking. Known as Gay Liberation, they are a tribute to the normalcy of gay life.
