Timeline
16:22
Arrive at Big Orbit Gallery just before sunset. The warehouse space, with its high ceilings and airy ambience, frames the fading light beautifully. It is a quiet, cavernous spot to watch the day end.
17:26
Walk five minutes to Remedy House for a drink. The panoramic windows offer a view of the Five Points intersection as the city lights begin to turn on. The airy, window-filled space is perfect for unwinding after the gallery visit.
17:56
Head two minutes further to Essex Street Pub for dinner. This is the favorite local watering hole, now serving a full menu. Order the barbecue; the Texas and Memphis-style platters of house-smoked brisket and pulled pork are the specialty.
