Why this plan works
The 3 stops cover about 0.2 miles total, which keeps you in one pocket of DeKalb instead of crossing town between them. Egyptian Theatre is the main event and takes the biggest block of time; the other stops are built around it. It finishes at Iniga Pizzeria Napoletana — a short, low-effort stop you can skip if you're ready to call it. Best suited to couples, adults, and solo who want a planned DeKalb outing without improvising between stops.
