    Walk the 19 minutes from the anchor to the Oregon Jewish Museum and Center for Holocaust Education viewing spot. Arrive with 20 minutes to spare to watch the sky turn as the sun sets toward the WSW.

  2. 16:38

    Oregon Jewish Museum and Center for Holocaust Education

    Head back toward the anchor. Stop at Powell’s City of Books for a quick browse. The store is open until 18:00, so you have plenty of time to grab a book or just look at the displays before it closes.

    Luc Lac

    Walk 14 minutes to Luc Lac for dinner. The kitchen is open for dinner from 16:00 to 23:00. Order the pho or a rice bowl to warm up as the evening chill sets in.

    Teardrop Lounge

    Walk 15 minutes to Teardrop Lounge. This is one of the more upscale, inventive cocktail spots in the city. The bar is open from 16:00 until close, so it is the perfect place to end the night with a crafted drink.

Local tip

Powell’s City of Books closes at 18:00, so keep your visit there short if you want to catch the sunset first. Teardrop Lounge is a popular spot, so arriving early helps secure a seat.
