Where to meet halfway between Bushwick and Upper East Side
Bushwick (Brooklyn) and Upper East Side (Manhattan) are about 5.8 miles apart, roughly 41 minutes end to end on the subway. No service stops in both neighbourhoods, so someone changes trains — the fair spot is a place where each of you changes at most once.
Start around Greenpoint
Greenpoint in Brooklyn sits closest to the middle of the two and has Polish diners, quiet bars and Franklin Street restaurants. It is served by the G and L. Treat it as the opening suggestion rather than the answer: once you enter your exact addresses, Triangulmate routes real door-to-door times and may land a few stops either side of it.

Making it fair, not just central
Two people the same distance from a restaurant can have very different evenings: one walks to an express stop, the other waits for a bus and changes at a hub. Triangulmate compares each person's door-to-door time for the day and hour you are meeting, drops anything lopsided, and pushes down journeys that force extra transfers. Set a walking cap and a maximum gap between the two trips, and pick cuisine, price and party size before you search.
