Wait in position. The alignment is precise. As the sun crests the horizon, it will rise directly behind the historic buildings of Bridgeland. The morning light will be crisp and the area will be quiet.

Head to La Brezza Ristorante for a post-sunrise breakfast or early lunch. This Italian restaurant has been a neighborhood staple since 1987. It is a four-minute walk from your viewing spot. Note that lunch service begins at 11:30 AM on weekdays.
Local tip
The alignment works best in mid-March. Check the exact sunrise time for your specific day, as it shifts slightly throughout the window.
Check before you go
- La Brezza Ristorante lunch hours are Tue-Fri 11:30AM-2:30PM. If you are visiting on a weekend, dinner service is Sun-Thu 5:30-9PM and Fri Sat 5-10PM, so plan your arrival accordingly if you miss the lunch window.
Worth knowing
- Sun position is calculated. We have not confirmed the view is unobstructed.
