Already the last weekend of January – crazy how time flies! This week it was back to Santa Ana, California for Franzi and Alex stayed in New York for work. Overall, a work week as usual – nothing crazy to be reported. Staying in the city Alex had a chance to follow our “old” morning […]
Kicking off Alex’s local art career ;)
Sad day: Con & Charly leaving. They were off to Mexico, while Franzi flew to California and Alex to Chicago. For the two of us, business as usual with a relatively uneventful week that passed by quickly. On Friday we first went to Spiegel to have a look at Alex’s drawings of two motorcycle tanks […]
A lucky coincidence at the West Coast
Another week of our travel schedules not tying up. For a change Franzi stayed in New York this time and Alex was the one travelling. He had to go to Santa Clara, California. The lucky coincidence: Alex dad Wolfgang is currently doing a three-month motorcycle trip through Alaska, Canada and the US and he just […]
Team event in Utah and visitor from home
Approaching mid-August already, Franzi spend another week in Madison and Alex worked based out of New York. After flying out to Madison Monday evening and working throughout the week, Franzi’s project team had a team meeting in Utah. Thus, she flew out to Utah Thursday early morning and enjoyed a bit of Utah sun while […]
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, […]
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 […]
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 […]
Apartment hunt #1
Today we began our apartment hunting sprint! After having our German bread for breakfast and a quick coffee & tea in the neighborhood at Cafe Mogador we had one viewing we scheduled on our own, which was quite a disappointment, quality- and space-wise. We met Rosemary at noon in the East Village and looked at around eight […]
A half-marathon by foot
On our first full day in New York, we wanted to explore a couple of neighborhoods to figure out where we really want to live. We took a walk starting in the East Village and had our first typical American breakfast at Tompkins Square Bagels (an institution in the East Village!). Walking through Greenwich Village, […]
