Happy Median gives you the middle ground
Have you ever traveled to a city where you’ll be meeting up with a lot of different people who may not be staying in the same hotel as you? If they were, getting together would be as easy as heading to the lobby and discussing where you’d like to eat or party the night away.
However, there are times when your group of friends will be scattered all over the city - in my case, next year it will be for a wedding. Not everyone will be in the same hotel or house. That makes getting together complicated, because not only do you have to do more planning ahead, you also (hopefully) want to be fair to everyone - if the restaurant is just a restaurant and nothing super special, do you really want one person to have to drive for an hour to meet up with you?
Enter Happy Median, a handy website that helps you find a meeting spot that’s located at least roughly halfway between you and all your friends.
You enter in the address of up to four people and select whether you’re seeking restaurants, fine dining, diners, movie theaters, golf courses, campgrounds, coffee shops, nightlife, or new lodging. You can even specify whether you’re seeking a general area within the same city or a town in between everyone if you’re in different suburbs.
Happy Median will then find the best midway spots where you could meet up with your group of friends.
The site is still in its growing stages and they’re promising exciting new features to come so if you like the service (and really, why wouldn’t you? It’s great for travel AND for at-home use too!), be sure to bookmark it and check back in regularly.

There is a new site called meetways.com it helped me figure out that a halfway point between Hollywood and Santa Monica in L.A is Beverly Hills. It makes sense! I just figured I share this with you after reading this post. Good luck!
