Grab a bowl of pho or a sandwich at Luc Lac. It is counter-service and quick, perfect for fueling up before the evening chill sets in.

Walk to Mill Ends Park. This tiny plot is the 'smallest park in the world,' a whimsical spot created as a leprechaun colony and snail racetrack. It is a great place to pause and take in the urban scale before the main event.

Watch the sun set toward the WSW. The low winter sun casts long shadows through the downtown canyon, turning the small park into a quiet pocket of light.

End the evening with an inventive cocktail at Teardrop Lounge. It is one of the more upscale drink spots in the city, offering a sophisticated way to unwind after the walk.
