Sunset Pier

Sure, you could snack on peel-and-eat shrimp any time of day here, but the real reason you’re coming is all in the name. The sunset view looks like it could be on an actual postcard, and there’s a line of waterfront stools that give you an uninterrupted view. This place fills up fast between November and February, so if you're in town for the winter, try to show up with enough time before the sun clocks out to snag a good seat. If you can’t, that’s OK. They have a little side bar that’s accessible from Mallory Square, so you can grab a beer, and watch the sunset with the rest of the crowd.
