That wasn't the question asked, nor did I answer that. Nor will the person asking the question be starting from the Harbor side of the esplanade. So my statement stands. It's a good haul from the DLH over to Mimi's. About 1/2 hour each way at about average speed. As far as an alternative starting position for the person asking the question, well the one most likely would be from one of the parks rather than from the Harbor side of the esplanade. And from within the parks, Mimi's is about a 20-30 minute walk at average speed depending upon where in what park one is starting from and assuming no out of the ordinary crowd bottlenecks occur. That's including time to get to and out the gate of the park, to and out the east side of the esplanade, past the trams, to and across Harbor, and up to Mimi's at average speed.
But since you brought it up. We walk at a clip where we rarely get passed by anyone not running. We pass others a lot. We don't walk at power walk speed. But we're certainly not slow by any means and are quicker than average. From the security station on the Harbor side, past the tram stops, across Harbor, and up to Mimi's in 10 minutes would require nearly everything going right for us such as no crowd bottlenecks through the tram stop areas, hitting the light, and no crowd bottlenecks on the sidewalks between. So for people of average speed, 15 minutes would be closer and that may be a bit short an estimate.
