Timeline
17:54
Grab a quick bite at Original Oyster House. The fish sandwich is worth the stop, and it gives you time to digest before the main view.
18:24
Walk to Point State Park. This is the spot for the sunset. The park sits at the confluence of the rivers, offering an unobstructed view of the sun dipping below the skyline to the west.
19:39
End the evening with dinner at The Grand Concourse. The former train station offers a beautiful view of the city lights as they come on, providing a perfect finish to the night.
Local tip
The sunset is toward the W. Point State Park faces roughly that direction, giving you the best view. The Grand Concourse is a bit further north, so allow extra time if you want to stroll along the riverfront between spots.
