I made a couple of trips to New York before I started working on Enchanted, Inc. Although I had a good idea of what the story would be by the second trip, I occasionally stumbled over something that ended up inspiring part of the book. Here are some of the New York (and elsewhere) locations that ended up in the book. Caution: There are spoilers here for Enchanted, Inc.

This is the kind of soulless modern office building in the New York Financial District where I imagine Katie is working at the beginning of Enchanted, Inc. Note the corporate coffee shop on the ground floor.
