Answer

How do you decide where to meet with a friend?

Quick answer

Pick a spot where each person's drive is within 5 minutes of the other — start from the geographic midpoint of your two addresses, then filter for venues with the vibe you want (coffee, brunch, drinks).

Don't pick by who 'feels close' — pick by actual drive time. The fair rule of thumb: each person's travel time should be within 5 minutes of the other's. A midpoint tool gets you there in seconds.

Once you've got the midpoint, filter by vibe. A quiet coffee shop is right for a quick catch-up; a brunch spot suits weekend plans; a wine bar fits evening hangs.
