Timeline
16:21
Grab a burger and a beer at Ray's Place. It is popular with students and locals, so arriving early helps you find a seat before the post-sunset rush.
17:01
Walk to the Kent State University Museum. Enter through the front of the old part of Rockwell Hall at the corner of E Main St and S Lincoln St. Use the 20 minutes before sunset to browse the fashion exhibits in the quiet.

Step outside the museum entrance. The sun sets toward the WSW. If you stand near the entrance facing that direction, you can catch the final moments of golden light and sunset from the campus grounds.
18:06
Head to Laziza for dinner. It is an Israeli restaurant in downtown Kent with a two-level space. The menu features steaks, seafood, and Mediterranean specialties. It is open until 22:00 on weekdays.
