Have the lunch buffet at Himalayan Cuisine. The Friday special includes delicious momo and complementary kheer, but the wide-ranging buffet is excellent any day. It is open from 11:30 to 20:00, so you have plenty of time before the sun goes down.
16:27
Walk to John F. Baldwin Park. It is just a short walk from the restaurant area. This park is the closest viewing spot to the library anchor, offering a quiet place to settle in before the main event.
17:12
Watch the sun set toward the WSW. The golden light starts around 16:32, so you will have about 40 minutes of warm, glowing light before the sun dips below the horizon. This is the perfect time to enjoy the view.
18:12
End your evening at the Don Fernando Pacheco Adobe. It is a historic landmark listed in all three Historical Registries. The walk from the park is longer, so allow time for it, but it offers a peaceful and culturally rich finish to your sunset plan.
