Walk from the Museum of African American History north to Childrens Beach. The 18-minute stroll gives you time to clear your head before the main event.

Head to Brant Point Grill, located right on the harbor just a nine-minute walk away. The award-winning wine list and seafood dishes are perfect for dinner as the sky darkens. Call ahead to reserve your table.
