This week was a week without travel for a change, which we both really appreciated! In addition, it was a short week because 4th of July was around the corner. We worked from the NYC office from Monday to Wednesday and started the long weekend on Wednesday night with a hangout in Tompkins Square Park, […]
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 […]
Alex 31st Birthday
The next week Franzi was in New York and Alex was in Detroit. It seems our travel schedules are perfectly synced so that we never spend a week at home together 😉 During the week, besides working Franzi ensured to organize everything for Alex’s birthday coming up on Saturday. Since we were away from home, […]
Office Summer Party and K-Town
The second week of June, Franzi went to Madison and Alex stayed in New York. The week started off very foggy, but from Tuesday on the weather was fantastic. During the week, a colleague and good friend of Alex – Marco – was in town so it was a fortunate coincidence that Alex was not […]
Visitors from home and premier league sport
The next week started off with a successful Steering Committee on Franzi’s project (a presentation of interim project results) and a fun team dinner at a Steakhouse in Wisconsin. Alex got to spend the week in New York. He did not complain as this allowed him to attend two-wheel-Tuesday on Tuesday night. Also he could […]
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 […]
Not quite as envisioned but still a great (long) Memorial Day weekend
The weekend of May 25th was a long one – it’s Memorial Day on the 27th so we got an extra day off, yei! It is not too difficult to guess what our plan for the long weekend was – get on the bikes and ride somewhere upstate New York to enjoy some nature. In […]
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 […]
NYC – Orange County – Chicago – NYC
The next week was a whole lot of travelling for Franzi. Alex flew out to Detroit Monday morning, while Franzi kicked-off the day in the office until flying out to Orange County, California later that day. Here Franzi spent spent Tuesday and Wednesday at the client site. Getting used to these travel schedules will take […]
Stand-up comedy and club hopping
We kicked-off the weekend with a dinner at Frank’s between 5th and 6th street on 2nd avenue. The restaurant feels like eating at a smaller family owned true Italian place. The pasta was easily one of the best pastas we ever had, and the weather even allowed us to sit outside. With a full stomach, […]
