Bracken Health Sciences Library
Walk four minutes ESE to the Bracken Health Sciences Library. Step outside onto the Botterell Hall terrace. The library faces roughly WSW, aligning with the sunset direction. Find a spot on the steps or railing to watch the sky turn.

After the sun dips, walk sixteen minutes to Kingston Brewing Company. The pub is open late and serves its own seasonal brews, like the White Tail or Dragon's Breath, perfect for warming up after the chill of evening.
Local tip
The walk from the library to the brewery takes about sixteen minutes. If you prefer a shorter route, Stooley's Bar & Grill is only a twelve-minute walk and serves signature fries and burgers if you are hungry before the drinks.
