On the set of New York - You've Got Mail Film Locations

You've Got Mail (1998)

Kathleen Kelly (Meg Ryan) awakens to the latest comments by her newspaper columnist boyfriend Frank Navasky (Greg Kinnear) on how computers are ushering in the fall of civilization. Once she has made quite sure Frank has left for the day, Kathleen starts her computer and goes on-line. She doesn’t want Frank to know that she’s exchanging e-mails with a man she’s never met, Joe Fox (Tom Hanks). He is also keeping this a secret from his own girlfriend, publishing executive Patricia Eden (Parker Posey).

Still not revealing that he's NY152 - Kathleen's email contact, Joe Fox makes a concerted effort to become friends with Kathleen. He brings her flowers when she has a cold and accepts her criticism of his "It's not personal, it's business" philosophy.

Kathleen Kelly leaves her apartment to meet the mystery man that she has been emailing for sometime and not known his true identity.

Kathleen starts a new day at her charming little children's bookstore, "The Shop Around the Corner", a long-time local landmark.

Kathleen starts an anti-Fox Books campaign, including media coverage, a neighbourhood rally, and picketing at the Superstore.

Kathleen's employees are dismayed to see the "Fox Books Superstore coming soon" sign on a building only half a block from The Shop Around the Corner.

The on-line friends, still not exchanging names, arrange to meet at Cafe Lalo. Joe brings Kevin along and has him check out who's there (with the agreed upon identifier, a book with a rose). Kevin recognizes Kathleen from her TV interview and lets Joe know. Resenting that Shopgirl turns out to be someone he dislikes, he threatens to leave, but finally enters the cafe. However, rather than revealing that he's NY152, he pretends he has again merely bumped into her. He makes cynical comments about her book, Pride and Prejudice, and the fact that someone has apparently stood her up.

As they spend more time together, Joe shows Kathleen that he can be amusing and supportive as a friend.

Editor's Comments: Although the sign clearly states the addresss to be 152 Riverside Drive, it is in fact the side entrance for 210 Riverside Drive along West 93rd Street.
