Walk to Longue Vue House and Gardens. The 26-minute stroll from the anchor area brings you to this elegant mansion set in lush gardens. Arrive early to find a quiet spot in the grounds.

Watch the sun set toward the WSW. The golden light starts at 16:47, but the main event is the sunset at 17:22. The gardens provide a serene backdrop for the fading light.

End the evening at Banks Street Bar & Grill. Return to the anchor spot for live music ranging from rock to jazz. If the band is good, put a buck or so in the tip jar.
