Timeline
15:51
Start at Caffe Aroma. Order a coffee and find a window seat. The shop opens at 06:30, so it is wide open and quiet enough to plan the rest of the evening without rushing.
16:21
Walk to Anchor Gallery. The staff are artists, and the walls display their original drawings and paintings. It is a great place to kill time before the sun goes down.
17:06
Stay at Anchor Gallery for the sunset. The gallery faces west, offering a clear view of the sun dipping below the horizon around 17:06. The golden light hits the artwork and the street outside just before the sky darkens.
17:36
End the night at Cole's. This former automobile showroom has black and white tile floors and old school pennants. It is open late, so you can grab a drink and digest the day's sights in a historic setting.
Local tip
The gallery is open until 20:00 on weekdays, so you have plenty of time to linger after the sun sets. Cole's is open until 24:00 on Mondays, making it a perfect late-night stop after a weekday sunset.
