Factual Mistake
When Joe fox is in the shop around the corner the "open/closed" sign is facing "open" side in thus "closed" side out.
Continuity
When Annabelle throws the rings on the bottle, he gives her a pink one and she throws a pink one, but a green one lands on the bottle.
Continuity
The clock behind the counter in Kathleen's store reads exactly 4:30 through the entire 2 minutes plus when Joe is purchasing the books. It shows different times in other scenes, so it's not stopped.
Continuity
The position of the hat on Kathleen's head when she is reading the stories.
Continuity
When Kathleen is in the cafe waiting for NY152 to show up she rearranges the book and flower and ends up putting the flower inside the book, then Joe comes in and she picks up the book to cover her face and the flower is now on top of it and the book is in a different position.
Continuity
At the dinner party, when Kathleen confronts Joe about his identity, the food on his plate keeps changing.
Continuity
When Joe comes to visit Kathleen at her apartment when she is sick, he tells her to sit down at the table. When she sits down, there is a large pile of tissues on the table, but in later shots, they are gone.
Continuity
During the scene when the staff of the store are selling off items prior to the closing, Kathleen puts a blue toy in the customers bag twice.
Continuity
When Joe visits sick Kathleen, and she sits at the table while he fills the vase for the flowers, the table runner is alternately straight/wrinkled at the furthest end from her.
Continuity
When Frank leaves the apartment at the beginning of the movie, the computer is at a table at the end of their bed. After Kathleen checks on him as he leaves the building and runs around to sit down at the computer, it is now on a table facing the living room furniture.
Character Error
When Kathleen goes to Starbucks and orders a Tall Caramel Macchiato, the employee actually gives her a Grande.

Trivia:
There was also a real-life inspiration for the Ephrons' story of feuding book merchants. In the early 1990s, a huge Barnes & Noble outlet opened on Broadway in New York's Upper West Side.
Both Kathleen and Joe used AOL software to connect to the Internet. They were both using version 4.0 which was in beta testing mode when the film was being made.
At one point Michael Palin was to play a benevolent writer who frequently gave readings at Ryan's store. Although he filmed several scenes, they were eventually cut from the film.
