Stroll down Bunker Hill Steps , stopping to gaze at “Source Figure,” Robert Graham’s exquisite sculpture and the Central Library . Walk to Pershing Square , lorded over by the baronial Millennium Biltmore , a nice place for tea or coffee. Leave in time to make it to the Victorian Bradbury Building before 5pm.
