Why this plan works
The 3 stops cover about 1.9 miles total, which keeps you in one pocket of Folsom instead of crossing town between them. Harris Center is the main event and takes the biggest block of time; the other stops are built around it. It finishes at Visconti's Ristorante — a short, low-effort stop you can skip if you're ready to call it. Best suited to couples, friends, and solo who want a planned Folsom outing without improvising between stops.
