I'm calling this a "mini" pub crawl because it involves visiting one restaurant....not multiple bars.  There are so many restaurants in the Shrewsbury Street area of Worcester, for starters, that I have not tried, so I thought I would combine exercise with trying a different restaurant each walk.  We will start at the restaurant of choice (suggestions are welcomed), go for a walk and end up back at the restaurant for appetizers and beverages.  Let's get together for a walk...approximately 1 to 2 …
