Where do travelers usually meet up in New York City?

Washington Square Park and the High Line are easy daytime landmarks, while Williamsburg and the Lower East Side are the usual evening choices. Coffee in SoHo before a museum is the standard first meetup.

Is New York good for solo travelers?

Yes — the subway runs 24/7, the city is walkable block by block, and solo dining at a bar counter is completely normal. Costs are the main barrier, which is why splitting cabs and tickets with a travel buddy helps.
