• 'New York, I Love You' is the directorial debut of Hollywood actresses Scarlett Johansson and Natalie Portman. Johansson's short film was not included in the final version of the film. Portman also acted as a screenwriter and starred in one of the short films.
• From the previous film, "Paris, je t'aime", only Natalie Portman and Emilia Oana "carried over" to "New York, I Love You"; no director did the same.
• Unlike the first film, which featured eighteen love stories, "New York, I Love You" will have far fewer, only twelve.
• The short film directed by Shekhar Kapur was originally intended to be directed by Anthony Minghella, who passed away shortly before filming began.
• Woody Allen was initially on the list of directors, then he was supposed to participate in the film as an actor (in Scarlett Johansson's short), but ultimately dropped out of the project. Albert Hughes and Park Chan-wook also left the list of directors.
• One of the short films featuring Natalie Portman in the role of a Hasidic woman was already filmed near the Brooklyn Bridge on March 12-13, 2008, but the second lead, Hasid Abe Karpen, who had no prior film experience, withdrew from the film due to a prohibition from his religious community. Karpen was immediately replaced by Irfan Khan.
• Producers set several conditions for the directors: — the budget for each segment is limited to $1.5 million USD. — No more than 20 actors should be involved in mass scenes, and a strictly defined amount of film stock must be used. — The director has the opportunity to independently choose the sound engineer, cinematographer, and editor; the rest of the film crew will be appointed by the producers themselves.
• The work of Scarlett Johansson and Andrey Zvyagintsev was cut due to not aligning with the collective's goals.
• The film was shot in 36 days.
• The theatrical release for Russia and Ukraine includes the cut episodes directed by Scarlett Johansson and Andrey Zvyagintsev.
• The initial version of the film, shown at the Toronto International Film Festival and including two additional segments, had a runtime of 122 minutes.
