Sunday started off as a Sunday should – with a relaxed long breakfast at home and Facetime sessions with our families to catch up. We decided to go to the Museum of the City of New York on the Upper East Side for the day to learn a bit more about the history of the […]
Walking around the neighborhood and classic cars
Again, a beautiful sunny day – so we decided to explore our neighborhood and Soho a little more. We started off at Union Square where we explored the Greenmarket and walked up to Madison Square Park. Later we changed directions and went south to gaze at the amazing iron cast buildings in SOHO and do […]
Getting the bicycles ready!
Back in the city we wanted to enjoy the sunny day. We brought our bikes over from Germany (who would have believed that the old Holland bike from Franzi’s mother would make it to NYC one day…) and quickly fixed them up at a bike store in the neighborhood before having some homemade Granola at […]
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 […]
Sunday at the park

We got a late start after having some bagels and then took a walk through SoHo along Mulberry, Elizabeth and Mott Street, which all offer gorgeous boutiques with great quality clothes, home goods and other good things, like nice custom build motorcycles parked on the street. We also checked out […]
Making our home our home

Apartment ABC
Thursday was an admin day – we got some banking and phone related stuff done in the rainy morning and then went on to buy a pair of sneakers for Alex, who got tired of walking in his heavy Redwings leather boots. We went to our new home once again to take some measurements of […]
