New York Just About Any Time

The movie You've Got Mail takes place in a tiny radius of the Upper West Side of New York City, which cleverly fits the film's story of two people interacting through "the internet" using pseudonyms. It is a silly romantic story, but it is earnest, and truthful. I like the perseverence of the main characters, determined to get the best of, or at least some happiness in, life.

But, I like it especially because it is the part of New York I know better than other parts (although it is a little further south then I am accustomed to, although the neighborhood - the shops, coffee houses, parks, newspaper kiosks - look exactly the same).

On my next trip to New York these are the places I will try to visit, as seen in You've Got Mail...

- Verdi Square: Broadway and 72nd St.




-Verdi Square Green Market
West 72nd & Broadway
Sat 8am-5pm
June to December




- 72nd Street Subway


- The Starbucks on 81 and Broadway



- Zabar's on 80th and Broadway


- Cafe Lalo on 83rd and Amsteram


- L'Occitane, somewhere around Broadway and 70th and 80th


- Ocean Grill Restaurant on Columbus Ave and 78th St.


- 91st Garden in Riverside Park



- New York in Christmas

And just walking around the city, with each season eliciting "Don't you just love New York in...." (fill in the blank with: Fall, Winter, Summer and Spring). Joe ask Kathleen "Don't you just love New York in the Fall?" While Kathleen seems to like the Spring, or Christmas, or just about any time.
