Walk over to Shea's Performing Arts Center. The building is a dazzlingly ornate former movie palace listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Find a spot outside where the WSW sunset hits the facade. The sun sets at 18:32, so arrive early to get your angle.
19:02
End the evening at Eddie Brady's. It is a 5-minute walk from the theater and captures that familiar, friendly, old-school Buffalo vibe. The bar is open until 22:00 on weekdays, giving you time to unwind after the sunset.
