Walk to the riverfront trail at South Side Riverfront Park. Find a spot near the picnic area to watch the sun sink toward the WSW. The industrial artifacts along the path make for a moody backdrop as the light fades.

Dave & Andy's Homemade Ice Cream
End the evening with ice cream. Dave & Andy's Homemade Ice Cream is ranked as the best in the city and makes its treats on premises. It is open late, so you can enjoy a sweet finish after dinner.
Local tip
The walk from the riverfront to the dining area involves an incline. Wear comfortable shoes. If you prefer a sit-down meal over to-go dumplings, you can skip the first step and head straight to the park for the sunset.
