- Lunch Break 1:00 PM - 2:30 PM.
- Pro Tip Reach out between 9:30 AM and 12:30 PM. Business culture is highly relational; trust and personal referrals are essential. The work week is Sunday through Thursday. Punctuality is appreciated, but meetings often include social pleasantries. Avoid daily prayer times.
New York City Business Pulse
- Culture Fast-paced and direct. Punctuality is highly valued, and meetings often get straight to business.
- Lunch Break Often "on-the-go" between 12:30 PM and 1:30 PM.
- Pro Tip Mornings (9:30 AM - 11:30 AM) are best for high-energy discussions. After 4:00 PM EST, most professionals are wrapping up or in "commute mode," making it a poor time for complex topics. Keep your pitch concise—New Yorkers value their time and appreciate directness over lengthy pleasantries.
