How the night flows

Park in Minor Park off Red Bridge Road and walk the paved trail to the old bridge; bring a padlock if you want to leave one. Plan the walk for daylight, then drive a minute to Barrio, which serves until 10 PM most nights and 8 PM Sunday. Barrio's prices are not posted as text, so dinner is a planning estimate.
