Spontaneous Danish Pub Crawl On the first Tuesday in August, NY was struck by the tropical storm Isaias and the effects were quite visible on the streets with many fallen trees and broken branches. During the week, Franzi got a birthday card for her father’s upcoming birthday ready for its journey to Germany. To end […]
The last week of 2019 and family in town for 2020!
On the last Monday of the year, we drove back from Upstate to Manhattan. Luckily, this time without any technical issues with the car. For New Years, we met up with friends – Marlene and Hendrik. Marlene is also a colleague of ours and they have moved to NYC just recently. Specifically, they found a […]
Franzi’s birthday and Neumanns in town!
Birthday week for Franzi! She spent the week in Madison. Alex could stay in the city. First stop before going to the office: Everyman café for a nice Croissant and a Cappuccino. On Tuesday, Franzi was surprised with an early birthday cake by her colleagues, which was super thoughtful and tasty! Franzi got back to […]
NYC Pride Weekend
Another week, another flight – Franzi went back to California Monday evening. Meanwhile, Alex stayed in NY. We started the Monday morning with our new tradition to stop by at Everyman Espresso to get a Croissant and a Cappuccino. Since we got to know the dog of one of the baristas – Lady – we […]
Our first motorcycle adventure
The next week was not very eventful. We both flew out to Detroit and Madison again and worked on our current projects. We feel quite comfortable already around the new colleagues and it is great to see that our company culture is consistent even across oceans. Unfortunately, Thursday travel was a pain again – there […]
On the trail of street art & live music
The sun was shining when we woke up on Saturday and it was a beautiful hot day with blue skies. After breakfast we took our bicycles and cycled over Williamsburg bridge to Bushwick, which in one of the Brooklyn boroughs. Before doing that we quickly stopped at Domino Park at the East River to enjoy […]
Officially starting to work in NYC
Now our first official work week has arrived – we really enjoyed our time off, getting settled in and exploring the city, but we were also looking forward to some routine (to the extent the consultant jobs gives you routine, which is not a lot in a good way!) and new challenges. We spent our […]
Dachshund Spring Fiesta
Weekend time (after one day of “work”) 😉 We started off with breakfast at Tompkins Square Bagels, which has already become a tradition for us. Fun fact: Alex and I are a little obsessed with dachshunds – for sure we will have a mini dachshund one day. Alex by accident found a perfect event for […]
Exploring Williamsburg, Brooklyn
Thursday was another sunny day and also the last free weekday before going to the office on Friday, so we decided to enjoy it to the fullest. We took our bikes out again and drove to Williamsburg via the Williamsburg bridge – the first part is hill up, but the second part hill down makes […]
From RI back to NYC
On Easter Monday, we had breakfast at T’s – an Omlette with farm potatoes, French Toast and Coffee made us really happy. A tasty start into the day and great memories for Alex. We then went to the store of the University of Rhode Island and Alex got two caps as a souvenir. This store […]
