Where is halfway between Greenpoint and Jersey City?

The two are about 5 miles apart and roughly 38 minutes apart by subway. West Village sits near the middle and is a practical place to start, though the fairest spot depends on each person's exact address and departure time.

Is there a direct train between Greenpoint and Jersey City?

No single service stops in both, so at least one person changes. Meeting at a transfer point keeps the trip to one change each.

Where to meet halfway between Greenpoint and Jersey City

Greenpoint (Brooklyn) and Jersey City (New Jersey) are about 5 miles apart, roughly 38 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 West Village

West Village in Manhattan sits closest to the middle of the two and has date-night restaurants and small bars on the side streets off Seventh Avenue. It is served by the 1, 2, 3, A, C, E, B, D, F, M, L and PATH. 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.
