Pick up an organic coffee and a croissant breakfast sandwich at Coffee to the People. It is a local favorite with a relaxed vibe, perfect for fueling up before the walk.
16:14
Walk three minutes from the cafe to the Panhandle. Find a spot on the grass or a bench facing west. The park is narrow and long, offering a clear, unobstructed view of the sky as the light fades.
17:14
Watch the sunset. On this date, the sun sets toward the WSW at 17:14. The golden light begins around 16:35, giving you a soft glow leading into the final moments of daylight.
17:59
End the evening at The DeLuxe, a short walk away. This small, stylish bar has been around for a long time and is known for freshly squeezed cocktails and local jazz acts. The crowd is arty and hip, making it a perfect wind-down spot.
Local tip
The Panhandle can get busy with dog walkers and cyclists. For the best sunset view, arrive early to claim a spot away from the main path. The DeLuxe does not take reservations, so be prepared for a short wait if you arrive right at sunset.
