Do a short night hop
to a nearby airport that you have done many times in the daytime, for
instance, San Carlos to Palo Alto or Reid-Hillview.

Most of Bay Area is highly noise sensitive and additional restrictions
apply at night.
For example:
RHV - no touch-and-go after 9 PM
SQL - no touch-and-go when tower closed
HWD - rwy 10L/28R closed when tower closed
etc. -- read A/FD and NOTAMs carefully

I usually fly to Hollister (3O7) for night stop-and-go practice and
currency. No restrictions, no traffic, and runway 13/31 is long enough
for full stop and takeoff without taxiing back.
