Why this plan works

Surf Club On The Sound is the main event and takes the biggest block of time; the other stops are built around it. It finishes at R Cafe & Tea Boutique — a short, low-effort stop you can skip if you're ready to call it. Best suited to couples, solo, and friends who want a planned New Rochelle outing without improvising between stops.
