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 […]
First day in the office!
Friday was a big day for us, the first day in the office! To get settled-in easy, our firm provided us with a full day of onboarding sessions – we go to know all the local systems, met many colleagues and were very happy to see our firm has great global standards so we felt […]
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 […]
All things good in life
Friday was a happy day – or our second day of vacation after days of hard work setting up the new apartment. We started with a walk along the high line, which was already much greener than the previous time. Funnily enough, we met one of Alex’s friends from university back in Germany who was […]
Calming down…
After a comfy breakfast at our new go-to breakfast spot Tompkins Square Bagels (these are the best bagels in the East Village, how lucky are we for living so close!) we ran a bunch of errands, got some little things still missing, finally had the right mattress delivered and bought our first groceries. The evening […]
