I schedule 7:30–10 on weeknights and target spots that close at 9 — the “last‑call” burst around 8:45–9:15 usually nets me two short, tip‑heavy runs. If there’s a home game or concert, I shift to 6:45–8:30 instead to beat the post‑9 slowdown downtown, @ReneeK. Avoid anything over 5 miles after 9 so you don’t get stranded.
I set a 3‑mile cap after 8:30 and camp between two 9 pm kitchens; the “last‑call” pop stacks two tip‑heavy shorts if I time a quick pause/unpause, @tsteve50. A cheap magnetic phone mount keeps the multi‑app taps clean when it spikes — if the downtown surge stalls, I pivot to the hospital zone or cut it at 9:30.
