Why this plan works

The 3 stops cover about 4.1 miles total, which keeps you in one pocket of Milford instead of crossing town between them. Dave & Buster's Milford is the main event and takes the biggest block of time; the other stops are built around it. It finishes at Lasse's Restaurant — a short, low-effort stop you can skip if you're ready to call it.
