Had a conversation about vacation with my VP today and he told me he used to often catch a red eye to NYC on Friday nights and fly back in time for work the following Monday.
Have any of you done this before, not just for NYC, but in general?
How enjoyable (or not) is doing this?

Yep like to take weekend trips and fly out Friday after work and come back Sunday late at night. Usually somewhere less than 3 hours away from my city. Florida, Boston, etc.
Can you realistically visit a city like Boston and get the whole “experience” over the weekend?
Doesn’t mean you won’t ever go back. I think it’s great being able to go out at night Friday, adventure on Saturday and then some more adventure + relax Sunday around the area. Still a new place than where you’re used to which is fun. New restaurants/bars/sights to visit and experience
Do you usually go by yourself or with a group?
Usually with a group or at least one other friend. I have done some solo day trips etc, but weekend long trips I prefer to do with company
Yeah used to do weekend trips from NYC to Miami. Cheap flights, usually $150-$200 roundtrip, 3hrs.

I used to go straight to the airport from the office, head to a city either friends lived or were also visiting. Would drop my stuff off wherever I was staying then right to the bar / restaurant / party everyone was at. Fly back around 3-4pm Sunday and then right back to hating my life Monday morning.
Semi-frequent weekend trips with or to visit friends are what get me through between the longer trips and keep things fresh. Leaving Thursday night if possible and working remote Friday is a game changer for flexibility and to maximize time on both ends.
WFH on a Friday isn’t a bad idea. Get the rest of the afternoon to hang around where you flew in instead of having to catch a red eye on Friday after work hours.
Usually go on a thur evening if can WFH on Fri, then fly back on Mon evening if long weekend
yeah
