Timeline
16:40
Grab a drink at Asheville Guitar Bar. It is a two-minute walk from the landmark and opens at 17:00 on Thursdays through Saturdays, giving you just enough time to settle in before the sun goes down.
17:10
Walk four minutes to Baby Bull for a burger. It is open until 21:00 on weekdays and weekends, so you can eat while the sky is still bright enough to see the details of the neighborhood.
17:30
Head to The Ties That Bind Asheville. The fabric strips tied to the chain-link fence will catch the last light. The sun sets toward the WSW, which aligns with the view from the Battery Park Hotel area where this installation is located.
18:25
End your evening at the Battery Park Hotel. This 14-story building faced with brick, limestone and terra cotta trim with a Mission Revival style roof, erected in 1924, offers a quiet place to reflect on the day after the sun has set.
Local tip
