Yes, New York City is definitely one of my very favourite places to be in Autumn, something about the season just makes me think of brownstones. One of my very favourite brownstone movie sets is Meg Ryan's home from 'You've Got Mail'. While the film spans several seasons, I always think of it as a Fall movie. I just loved Joe and Kathleen's sweet, witty banter and the above quote is a favourite of mine.
I think Kathleen's adorable shabby chic apartment would be the perfect place to enjoy an autumn weekend (and maybe re-read Pride and Prejudice? :) ). Failing being able to climb into the movie set, I think this would be the perfect rental on a rainy autumn evening. In the theme of the movie, I think a lovely warm quilt and a mug of tea would be the perfect accessories.

One of my all-time faves. Pretty much a perfect romantic comedy.
This is one of my favorites as well. And I love that quote about the pencils!
oh, new york... i've been there in july and in march, but you're right, it seems like a city that's lovely in fall.

Trudi - well a movie rental may be a little cheaper than an airline ticket to start. But I highly recommend New York in the fall!
i opened a shop and named it after "kathleen kelly's" bookstore in the movie, "the shop around the corner".
i have loved this movie forever and i adore kathleen's apartment!
I love this movie too. It still makes me cry & laugh at the same time. So sad that she had to close her store!
i spent three blissful years lving in nyc and fall fast became my favourite time of year - halloween, thanksgiving....beautiful weather. gorgeous.
Believe it or not, I have yet to see this movie! Thank you for this beautiful post; enjoyed the quote and the stills from the movie. It looks like I need to rent this soon!
How sweet you are!
I love the screen captures you've featured from the film {talk about apartment envy!} Just how dreamy is Kathleen Kelly's brownstone? I could watch it every day + never tire.
Cheers.
I love this quote too! This whole post makes me miss living in NY.
I LOVE THIS! This is one of my favorite and much-watched movies, often played while we work away on projects! It's a gorgeous movie, with fantastic characters, fun music, and of course, beautiful scenery! :) I might have to put it on now...
Have a great day, darling!
one of my all time favorite quotes!
You've got mail is like the perfect movie ever. i watched it like may times. everything just perfect the cast, the apartment, new york.. what i like about this film is that we can see New York in every season. Spring is my favorite esp when Joe and his nephew go to a festival. :D
I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who was enamored by Kathleen Kelly's decor! Ever since that movie I use it as a mental reference when decorating my own home. The best definition I can give it is French Country. Do you think that's accurate?
