Eva Mendes checked out of her hotel in New York City on Thursday.

Eva Mendes looked cute in a peach sweater, cropped black pants, and brown ankle boots as she casually walked with her hands in her pockets.

After meeting her real-life boyfriend Ryan Gosling while filming the crime drama "Place Beyond the Pines," the two decided to collaborate on another project.

Written and directed by the "Notebook" star, "How to Catch a Monster" follows a single mother who is swept into a dark underworld, while her teenage son discovers a road that leads him to a secret underwater town.
