Grab a quick coffee and a slice of pie at Tom's Restaurant. It is a local diner that doubles as a shrine for TV fans, but serves great comfort food. The lights are still on inside, providing a warm contrast to the cooling air.

Cathedral Church of St. John the Divine
Walk up to the Cathedral Church of St. John the Divine. Arrive just in time to see the west facade catch the last direct rays of the setting sun. The neo-Gothic stonework glows as the sky turns blue. Look for the resident peacocks wandering the grounds.
18:45
Stroll through the Conservatory Garden. It is a quiet, formal space just southeast of the cathedral. The evening light here is gentle, filtering through the sculptures and formal plantings. It is a peaceful place to digest your pie and watch the twilight settle over the park.
