Today I am throwing it back to happier times, because some people really believe that times back then (be it the summer or last year or a decade ago) were so much happier than they were now. This image was taken in late August at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. What a short but extremely long 4 1/2 months it’s been…Read More »
Today I went to a magical exhibition at the New Museum. One of those once-in-a-while moments that kind of take your breath away without you really knowing why. Pipilotti Rist’s Pixel Forest has been on display in the Lower East Side since October 26th of last year. Spread across the three main floors of the museum, she features a quite magical artistic composition of art installations made of video projections, curtains and more. Read More »
Its’ the last day of the year 2016 and you know what that means: Time for the Year in Review!
This year has been certainly one of a kind (well, aren’t they all, the years?!). It seems that the continuous line of change, which has been a very strong part of my life since 2014 perhaps, is slowly but surely progressing. Change – in every way possible – I feel that is the code word of 2016, if any. Read More »
Today I got to ride the MTA Nostalgia Train when it was departing on its last run for the season. Unlike in the previous years, both Christmas and NYE fall on a Sunday this year. Read More »
A few years ago today I actually had the stamina to throw myself into the Black Friday shopping madness. There are a few things I learned in the process of it: 1) Not all deals are good deals. 2) I didn’t feel super-fulfilled and happier after the few purchases I managed to make. 3) I’ll most likely never to do it ever again.

It’s Thanksgiving Day! And my 4-day-weekend has officially started! After an initial confusion over whether or not I’d have to work tomorrow, I decided to just ask for some time off, since the office is usually pretty slow around this time of year. So I am pretty stoked to just get things done in the next four day and be all calm.Read More »
Today I visited an amazingly inspiring art exhibit in the Lower East Side. The Ludlow Studios were featuring pictures of young photographer and Instagrammer Chris Serrano (heavy_minds), who passed away last month. Read More »
It’s been a tough day, starting with the lowest of vibes I’ve experienced in New York in a long time. Saddened faces, disappointed people – seeking out eye contact for each other, reassuring what everyone is thinking: How the f did this happen? How did it even get this far? We did not vote for him! We voted for a better future than this!Read More »
One of the happiest events in the fall (almost winter) is certainly the one that occurs (almost except for during Hurrican Sandy) every year on the first weekend of November. The New York City Marathon leads through all five boroughs and stretches over 26 full miles. Read More »
The Curacao Tourist Board has come up with a fun event, which took place at the Lightbox in Midtown West today. It showcased photos of 11 so-called digital influencers, who have visited the beautiful island of Curacao over the past year and who have taken amazing pictures of this Caribbean paradise.Read More »
Exactly one week ago I did something (to me) very, very exiting: I got up early on a weekday and went to the museum before work. The Museum of Modern Art (or short: MoMa) was hosting its last so-called “Quiet Mornings” in the month of October. Supposedly this had been a new idea for them and they tried it out throughout that month. Read More »
About two weeks ago New York hosted its annual open house event, which features insight into private houses, apartments and spaces that are usually not accessible to the general public. The Brooklyn Army Terminal was one of the few spots I was able to visit. Read More »
