Pick up a sweet treat or a small gift at S.W Randall Toyes & Giftes. It is a quirky stop to warm up before heading out into the cold.

Walk to Chatham University Arboretum. The estate was landscaped by the Olmsted Brothers, the same team behind Central Park. Wander the grounds as the sky begins to turn.
17:17
Stand in the open areas of the Arboretum and watch the sun set toward the WSW. The low winter light casts long shadows through the bare branches of the flowering trees.

Dave & Andy's Homemade Ice Cream
Head to Dave & Andy's Homemade Ice Cream nearby. Their on-site made ice cream is consistently ranked as the best in the city, a perfect warm-up after the sunset walk.
Local tip
Check the route for the walk between the shop and the Arboretum. The ice cream shop is open until 22:00, so you have plenty of time after the sunset.
