Rodef Shalom Biblical Botanical Garden
Stay in the garden for the sunset. The open spaces allow you to see the sky change color as the sun sets toward the west at 18:39. The golden light from 18:02 to 18:39 will bathe the botanical displays in a warm glow.

Head back toward the center of Oakland. Walk 9 minutes to The Porch. This American bistro serves locally sourced food and has a walk-up window if you want something quick to eat or drink as the evening settles in.
Local tip
The garden is small and quiet. Use the time before sunset to find a good spot that faces west for the best view of the sky.
