07:10
Arrive at Roslyn Place before the sun breaks. The turn-of-the-century wood-paved street is quiet and atmospheric in the pre-dawn light. Find a spot where you can look down the lane as the sky lightens.
07:40
Watch the sunrise over the restored houses. The morning light hits the historic facades and the unique wood paving, creating a soft, golden glow on the street.
08:05
Walk to Pamela's Diner for breakfast. It is open early, so you can sit down for their famous crepe hotcakes or waffles while the city wakes up.
Local tip
Roslyn Place is a historic site, not a through road. Respect the privacy of the residents. Pamela's is a local institution for breakfast, so expect a short wait if you arrive right at opening.
