    Rodney’s Kitchen Food Truck

    Grab a bite from the food truck near the gallery entrance. The sandwiches and burgers are fresh and quick, perfect for fueling up before the walk.

    Carleton University Art Gallery

    Step inside the Carleton University Art Gallery. Browse the current exhibitions while the natural light is still soft outside. It is a quiet space to appreciate contemporary art before heading out.

    Central Park

    Walk to Central Park. This spot offers a clear view of the sky as the sun sets toward the WSW. Find a bench or a quiet patch of grass to watch the golden light fade.

    D'Arcy McGee's

    End the evening at D'Arcy McGee's. This lively Irish pub is just a short walk away and offers a warm place to settle in with a drink after the chill of the evening air.
