Jake Gyllenhaal and Reese Witherspoon had a bicoastal weekend.

The two were spotted on Friday getting cozy while strolling through Los Angeles (left). They must have hopped on a plane to New York City, because they were spotted all over Manhattan yesterday. The paparazzi caught up with them while they shopped at the A.P.C. boutique.

And now I have even more details about their stay in the Big Apple.

A source also spotted them yesterday having brunch at Sarabeth’s on Central Park South. “They were very cute and seemed very happy,” an eyewitness said. “He was touching her face.” They even gave their autographs to a fellow female bruncher, who was celebrating her birthday at a table next to them.

Then the lovebirds checked out the Broadway play August: Osage County. Clocking in at more than three hours, the play by writer Tracy Letts addresses, among other things, alcoholism, drug addiction, adultery and sexual misbehavior.

The dark subject matter didn't dampen Gyllenhaal and Witherspoon's good mood, though. An eyewitness said, "They were cuddling and hugging and even kissing."
