A different way to visit the Stonewall Inn

One can never tire from visiting NYC.  With every passing trip I think at some point this will grow old, but it never does.  My most current sojourn was just an overnight but we enjoyed so many new and different experiences.  Our area of concentration centered loosely around Greenwich Village. We had just walked the entire High Line trail, a 1.45-mile-long linear park built on an elevated section of a disused New York Central Railroad spur called the West Side Line looking to locate the historic Stonewall Inn.  It was early afternoon, the weather couldn't have been more perfect.  The bar that started the LGBTQ movement  had not yet opened when we arrived.  Next to the Stonewall Inn was a brownstone with large steps and wrought iron hand rails.  My travel companion suggested we have a seat on the brownstone steps to plan the best route to our next activity. While her suggestion suited me for a few minutes, it dawned on me that to truly fit in we needed one more essential item. A quick trip to the package store and out we rolled with a cold quart of Corona in a brown paper bag.  Back on our stoop we mapped out the next stop between sips of beer which was never to leave the brown bag as that was part of the charm.  I have to say taking the thirty minutes to sit, relax and watch the city revolve around us was amazing.  I could have spent the entire day on that stoop with several more brown paper bag Corona's but an even more amazing bar adventure was waiting.
