Where is halfway between Harlem and Williamsburg?

The two are about 6.8 miles apart and roughly 46 minutes apart by subway. Upper East Side 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 Harlem and Williamsburg?

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 Harlem and Williamsburg

Harlem (Manhattan) and Williamsburg (Brooklyn) are about 6.8 miles apart, roughly 46 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 Upper East Side

Upper East Side in Manhattan sits closest to the middle of the two and has Second Avenue restaurants and neighbourhood wine bars. It is served by the 4, 5, 6 and Q. 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.
