Traffic is the ultimate local variable; virtual meetings are the standard for avoiding commute-related delays.
New York City Business Pulse

- 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.
