Why New Yorkers Love to Hate Their City (and Stay Anyway) with Anne Kadet

Send us Fan MailCaroline and Eva talk with Anne Kadet, the sharp, witty mind behind the cult Substack Café Anne. Yes, New York City is grittier these days, but Anne shares how she finds beauty and charm in it every single day. From spotting small acts of kindness on the street to savoring a coffee at an outdoor cafe, Anne will inspire you to see the glass half full. While Caroline and Eva rarely leave the UES, Anne makes every day an adventure—she even once spent 24 hours straight riding the NYC subway (and lived to tell the tale). This episode will remind you that NYC is magical and make you want to book a flight, or if you already live here, at least venture past your three-block comfort zone.Resources mentioned:Read Anne Kadet’s Substack, Café Anne → annekadet.substack.comAbout Café Anne → annekadet.substack.com/aboutFollow Anne on X (Twitter) → @annekadetAnne Kadet’s writing at The Wall Street Journal → WSJ Author Page We’re two New York City women talking candidly about the chaos of modern life, from relationships, parenting, working in and out of the home, to what it takes to stay semi-sane in a world that expects you to hold it all together and be #blessed.We couldn’t find an honest and vulnerable conversation — so we started one!
