Caroline 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.
