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 […]
Buying motorcycles
Saturday was a special day – we both bought motorcycles!!!!!! After visiting a couple of dealers, we decided to go for Triumph. So, we made our way to Williamsburg, Brooklyn and got all the paperwork done. Franzi decided on a Triumph Street Twin and Alex on a Triumph Scrambler XE 1200. The purchasing process took […]
Learning about NYC
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Cliff walk and “cottages”
On our second day the weather was a little bit better, still rainy but at least not so foggy anymore. After a typical American breakfast with eggs and waffles we took a walk around the harbor and lovely little Newport. The town is really is really cozy and charming. Newport is famous for its historic […]
Road tripping to Rhode Island
For the Easter weekend we decided to take a trip to Rhode Island. Since Alex used to study here, he wanted to show me around and let me take a step down memory lane together. We got our rental care early in the morning. After about 3,5 hours we arrived in very rainy and foggy […]
