Timeline

  1. 17:25

    The Fours

    Grab a drink at The Fours. This sports bar is just a three-minute walk from TD Garden and stays open late, so you can kick off the evening with an Irish pub dish or a pint while the city is still bright.

  2. 18:25

    Bunker Hill Monument

    Walk 18 minutes north to the Bunker Hill Monument. Arrive an hour before sunset to climb the monument and secure a good vantage point. The view looks south over the city, perfectly framing the setting sun.

  3. 19:25

    Bunker Hill Monument

    Watch the sun dip below the horizon at 19:25. The sky turns gold and the city lights begin to flicker on below.

  4. 20:10

    Tangierino Brasserie

    Head down the hill to Tangierino Brasserie for dinner. It is only a five-minute walk from the monument. The restaurant opens at 17:00, so it is fully ready for you. Enjoy Moroccan cuisine in a setting that feels far removed from the sports arena you started near.

Local tip

The walk up to the monument is steep. Wear comfortable shoes and bring a light layer as it gets breezy at the top. Tangierino offers complimentary limousine service back to nearby hotels if you prefer not to walk down.
