Yes. Any plan can be a gift. Enter their address at checkout; their name goes on the envelope and yours goes in the first letter, so they know who sent them to New York.

What lands in your mailbox
Every adventure is different. So is every envelope.
The letter is the heart of every adventure. Everything else is a keepsake inspired by where we went that month—something chosen to bring the story a little closer and give you a piece of the experience to keep.
You won’t know exactly what’s inside until it arrives. That’s part of the adventure.
The letter
Where we went, what it looked like, whom we met, or my personal story connected to the experience.
A keepsake tucked inside
A recipe card. A ticket stub. An illustrated storefront. Whatever the place gave me, you get a piece of it.
A card for the shelf
The 4x6 collectible for that month's adventure. Line up twelve and you've got a year of New York.
A hint about next month
One line. Not the answer, just enough to make you check the mailbox early.
A New York postmark
Mailed from New York, not a warehouse in another state. Proof it came from here.
Something I couldn't leave behind
Some months the city hands me one more thing. It goes in too.
You can't scroll past it. You have to open it.
The itinerary
I'm not telling you.
That's the whole point.
One month, it's a subway station that closed in 1945 and still has its chandeliers. The next, it's a deli that's been slicing the same pastrami since before your grandparents met. Then, a flea market in Brooklyn where the good stuff is gone by nine, a garden hidden behind a church, a bakery with a line down the block and a very good reason for it. A ferry at the one hour of the day when the light does something to the skyline, a parade you didn't know existed, a shop that's been on the same corner since 1927.
Something wonderfully ridiculous that could only exist here.
Not everything in New York makes the cut. Only what's worth telling someone about.
You'll have to open the envelope to find out.
How it works
Three stops, once a month.
I go.
From big events to small discoveries. The place everyone knows, or the one nobody's told you about.
I write.
I send a personal letter about our adventure. Then I pack each envelope by hand, keepsake included.
I send.
Mailed once a month, postmarked New York, in your mailbox a few days later. Nothing to download. Nothing to log into.
Who's writing to you
I'm Gotham Girl.
As a licensed New York City sightseeing guide, I know the stories hiding behind the landmarks, the forgotten details tucked along familiar streets, and the little bits of history that make you pause mid-step and think, "no one ever told me that."
And I've been sitting on a treasure trove of them.
The Adventures of Gotham Girl began in October 2026, a snail mail club that delivers a slice of the Big Apple straight to your mailbox.
Here's how it works: Each month, we'll explore a different piece of New York City together - historic sites, hidden gems, parades and pop-ups, festivals and flea markets, and everything that makes this city unique. Each letter will have a little keepsake tucked inside – a clue to where we've been.
I'm out in the city writing the next one. Stay close. New York City has countless stories - and I know exactly where to find them.

Things you're probably wondering.
Cute. Fastest shipping Ever!!! Cute packaging.
I received my snail mail and absolutely loved it. The inner child in me came out when I opened my mail. The style of the envelope, decor with the butterfly stickers, envelope seal tag and extra decor inside the package. It was truly a surprise with the keepsake items. As a native New Yorker, it warms my heart that a piece of my home will always be with me.
I got my letter in the mail on Thursday and I loved it! The letter was beautifully decorated. It had a gold butterfly and a nice size sticker with your company logo on the outside. I loved that it was stamped as coming from NYC! The goodies inside were cool and I enjoyed reading the letter. The glitter was a fun surprise! Thank you for putting in your time and effort. I grew up with “snail mail” and I really miss it. Looking forward to next month! 🤗🤗🤗
You have no idea how much this meant to me. I'm a 37 yr old single mom/Chicago girl that is infatuated with New York!
Your package made me feel like I was there! Your letter made me feel so alive and like I was living your day, walking in your shoes! I literally shed some tears while reading it and looking at everything.
There is not enough space here to express how much this actually means to me and why. I will continue to subscribe.
Gotham Girl, you are my hero. Thank you soooo much! ❤️❤️❤️
