    Little Man Ice Cream

    Grab a scoop of ice cream to tide you over. The shop is open until 22:00, so you have plenty of time to enjoy it outside before the light fades.

  2. 16:03

    Steele Street Fountain

    Walk to the Steele Street Fountain. Arrive just before golden light hits the concrete and those pointy upward bits. It is a quiet moment to watch the shadows lengthen on the sculpture that references the region's water source.

    Chopper's Sports Grill

    Head south to Chopper's Sports Grill for dinner. The restaurant is open late, serving food until midnight, making it a reliable spot for an evening meal after the sun goes down.

Local tip

The walk from the ice cream shop to the fountain is short. If you finish your ice cream quickly, you can stroll over early to secure a good viewing angle before the golden light peaks.
