- Lunch Break1:00 PM - 2:00 PM.
- Pro TipPlan calls for 11:00 AM or later, as many offices fully ramp up after the morning commute. Traffic frequently delays schedules, so expect a 5-15 minute "buffer" in meeting start times. Relationship building is crucial; spend a few minutes on personal rapport before starting the agenda.
New York City Business Pulse

- Lunch BreakOften "on-the-go" between 12:30 PM and 1:30 PM.
