The gossip zone: Meg looking at apartments in NYC

Posted by Anne with 4 Comments

This one definitely falls in the gossip category, considering the source is the NYPost. So please take with a bucket of salt and remember Meg has owned various apartments in NYC for the past 20+ years (even at times when she wasn’t living there) and has been spotted looking at apartments several times the past years. Seems like a certain real estate company doesn’t mind leaking about their famous clients?

“America’s sweetheart is sweet on downtown Manhattan. Meg Ryan is on an apartment search again, with her rocker boyfriend John Mellencamp. But Ryan, who as we previously reported has rented at 40 Mercer St., is now looking to buy.

The actress recently toured a condo at TriBeCa’s 51 Walker St. that was once rented by Leonardo DiCaprio. The 3,200-square-foot, three-bedroom, 3 1/2-bathroom triplex is listed for $5.25 million and comes with a private garden that has a swimming pool and Jacuzzi. Prudential Douglas Elliman’s Frederik Eklund, a star of Bravo’s “Million Dollar Listing New York,” and John Gomes are the brokers for the apartment, which Gwen Stefani also once called home.

Ryan and Mellencamp also visited the Marble House triplex unit at TriBeCa’s 60 Collister St. The 9,200-square-unit, six-bedroom, five-plus-bathroom condo is listed for $19.99 million and offers “townhouse-style living” with a doorman and parking (…)”. Source

Eberfest 2012 screens ‘Joe Versus The Volcano’

Posted by Anne with 3 Comments

Famous movie critic Roger Ebert selected the movie Joe Versus The Volcano as one of the movies for this year’s edition of his annual festival ‘Eberfest’. This is the first of the three movies starring Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks. If you click on the picture below, you can see an HQ version of the lobbycards!

“”Joe versus the Volcano” (1990) will play at 7 p.m. April 25, as our opening night film. No film has almost played in Ebertfest more often than this one. Nate may be able to confirm that it’s been shortlisted in at least ten of the past years. Something always came along to crowd it out. Because it was often rumored to be a selection, people started to badger me about when they’d finally be able to see it, and we determined that this would be the year. (…)”

A quest for the best Meg Ryan movie eatery

Posted by Anne with Comments Off

The website Starring NYC has a great feature about the restaurants featured in some of Meg’s most famous movies. Check out their article and see pix and moviefootage from When Harry Met Sally (Katz’s Delicatessen), You’ve Got Mail (Cafe Lalo) and others!!

“Before Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Aniston started vying for the crown, Meg Ryan held the uncontested title of America’s sweetheart. Two of her most successful movies, When Harry Met Sally and You’ve Got Mail, featured memorable New York City restaurant scenes. The eateries have changed in appearance since then, but even more than a decade later, they still attract plenty of Meg Ryan fans.(…)” SEE THE FOOTAGE AND PHOTOS
