    Walk to The Frame. Arrive just before the sun dips below the horizon. The gallery is at the southeastern corner of Forbes and Margaret Morrison Street, where you can watch the golden light fade over the campus.

    Union Grill

    Head to Union Grill for dinner. This is a classic American spot with burgers and desserts. Note that it can get really crowded at lunch time, but the evening service is generally more relaxed.

Local tip

Caliban Book Shop is open until 18:00 on weekdays (until 20:30 on Thursdays), so you have plenty of time to browse before the sunset. Union Grill stays open late, making it a safe bet for dinner after dark.
