Join us for a heartfelt tour of the timeless classic, You’ve Got Mail! In this special episode of AClaireyTale, we explore the picturesque filming locations of Nora Ephron’s beloved romantic comedy set in the enchanting Upper West Side of New York City.
Starting off in the vibrant Flower District, which is featured in the film, our journey takes us on a whimsical adventure through the iconic sites that shaped the story of Kathleen Kelly and Joe Fox.

This movie holds a special place in my heart. It was the movie my now husband and I went for our first date ❤. And I cannot believe that I am staying in a hotel up the street of Zabar's this December 🥹. Thank you for showing us all these places. Cannot wait to visit them 🫶
This was so much fun to watch Claire but my highlight has to be outside of the shop on the corner. Your response when asked if you wanted to go inside 'YEAHHHH!!!" Priceless 😂
