Why this plan works

The 3 stops cover about 1.8 miles total, which keeps you in one pocket of Palo Alto instead of crossing town between them. Meyhouse & Meyhouse Jazz Club is the main event and takes the biggest block of time; the other stops are built around it. It finishes at Fambrini’s Cafe — a short, low-effort stop you can skip if you're ready to call it. Best suited to couples and solo who want a planned Palo Alto outing without improvising between stops.
