Grab a burger and a drink at Union Grill. It is a classic spot for American food, but be aware it can get really crowded at lunch time, so arriving early ensures a seat.
17:39
Walk 14 minutes south from the restaurant area into Frick Park, then head north to Homewood Cemetery. The cemetery is a large, green space founded in the mid-1800s, housing ornate mausoleums and statues that look striking in the fading light.
18:39
Find a quiet spot among the memorial edifices to watch the sun set toward the W. The golden light before the sun dips below the horizon casts long shadows across the grass and stone.
