Jennifer Aniston is going back to her first love: New York City. Pals tell Us Weekly the NYC native is considering getting back to her roots and moving back home.

"She feels she needs a boost in her life and she can meet all kinds of people there.And she can meet men," says a friend of the star, 38, who spent five days in the city on business the second week of March.

Says a pal, "She's revisiting the Broadway idea."

(Last October Aniston took to the stage in the one-night show The 24 Hour Plays.)

While in town the second week of March, sources tell Us the actress kept it low key, ordering room service at the swank Lowell Hotel and popping into Hermès a half hour before closing to quietly do some shopping.

She also visited an apartment building where Harvey Keitel (who starred in Be Cool with her ex-beau Vince Vaughn) is a resident.

Is she gearing up to make a move from her $30,000-a-month Malibu rental?

The insider confirms, "She's thinking about it."

(Her rep had no comment.)
