Fall Mania: Spending a Magical Day at the Bronx Botanical Gardens

Last fall on exactly this day (November 7, 2015) I spent quite a magical time at the New York Botanical Gardens in the Bronx. It was the late bloom of the fall foliage and wow, did the gardens look gorgeous!

NYC Marathon: Watching 50,000 People Run Through All Five Boroughs

Super Mario 2016

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.

Saturdays in Brooklyn: Wandering around Williamsburg

Went to a coffee shop today. It was so amazing that we did half a photo shoot over there…

After a week-long sickness (A cold? Or a flu?) I felt like leaving the house again just for fun again (and not for work). I first got a new haircut in Greenpoint and then wandered through McCarren Park to Williamsburg, where I met up with a friend for brunch. Brunch was Southwestern Style biscuits.

Dreaming of Curacao on a November Night: Visiting the Lightbox Gallery in Midtown

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.

Quiet Mornings at MoMa: A Great Way to Jumpstart the Day

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.

Sleepy Hollow the Weekend Before Halloween

Today is Halloween. Hollow’s Eve. Night of the ghosts, deathly spirits, witchcraft and children trick-or-treating. In addition to the spookiness, a perfectly chill and cozy fall week has come to an end yesterday. I therefore thought it would be the perfect time to update you on our Sleepy Hollow adventure we had this past Saturday.

NY Open House: Experiencing the Beautiful Brooklyn Army Terminal

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.

ONE – One Planet One Future Exhibit in the West Village

A few weeks ago I got to check out an amazingly inspiring exhibit in Manhattan. ONE – one planet one future deals with all of what its name implies. This exhibition is one of a kind and unfortunately also one of the fewer ones found throughout the city that point out an important topic affecting each and every one of us today.

The First Day That Felt Like Fall: Autumn Vibes in New York

Autumn vibes – how far we’ve come again!

Fall has been on the horizon here in New York City. When I first got back from a trip on the West Coast in September, the City still felt like late summer – the days were warm minus the humidity but certainly there was still a climate during which you were able to wear t-shirt and slacks.

Member’s Night at the Brooklyn Botanic: A Cocktail Evening around the Lily Pond

At the beginning of September the Brooklyn Botanical Garden hosted its last member event for the summer. It was a night filled with music, cocktails, fun and more. Ever since becoming a member by redeeming my membership back in September 2015, I’ve taken a lot of advantage of being in close proximity to the gardens.

Spending Labor Day at the Far Rockaways

Labor Day Weekend was special in a few ways. One of them was certainly the advent of our first hurricane since Sandy. Hurricane Hermine decided to circumvent the metro area but the mayor still decided to shut down all beaches, quoting riff waves and rough currents as a safety hazard.

Spending a Day at the US Open

A few weeks ago I had the chance to visit the US Open for the second time in my life. During my first time in 2014 I had purchased a grounds admission pass and walked around the area on a nice Saturday afternoon in late summer.
