Arrive at Cheesman Park. Find a spot near the Acropolis-inspired pavilion and look west. The sun is setting toward the WSW, casting a warm glow on the skyline.
18:15
Walk 14 minutes northwest to Humboldt Street Historic District. Pick up a slice of New York-style pizza from Bennie Blanco's. There is no seating, so take it to go.
18:45
Walk 15 minutes further northwest into the plant-filled space of Bang Up To The Elephant. Enjoy Caribbean-inspired jerk or curry with a drink. The atmosphere is lively and full of greenery.
Local tip
Bennie Blanco's is a hole-in-the-wall with no seating. If you prefer to sit down, check the route to Hudson Hill, a bar serving coffee, cocktails, and wine, which is a 14-minute walk from the pavilion.
