Why this plan works
The 3 stops cover about 1 miles total, which keeps you in one pocket of Waltham instead of crossing town between them. Gustazo Cuban Kitchen & Bar - Waltham is the main event and takes the biggest block of time; the other stops are built around it. It finishes at Game Underground — 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 Waltham outing without improvising between stops.
