Types of pizza
I learned that New Yorkers are obsessed with ‘their’ pizza and nothing beats those big juicy slices of pie. After its invention in the 18th century in Naples (Italy), the pizza has spread worldwide and styles changed to adapt to different regions and tastes. If you include the variety of toppings, spices, herbs, ingredients, dough…

Monchhichi
Have you ever heard of this toy? A stuffed animal monkey to be exact? It was quite popular in Germany but funnily I never thought that it is Japanese nor that it is a thing in the US. So when I spotted them in a display window, some childhood memories came crashing back. Apparently those…

Ferry ride
Sunday funday… with a trip to Hoboken, a city in New Jersey, most famous for being Frank Sinatra’s birthplace. It was very hot today so I thought it would be nice to switch up the means of transportation from the sticky (and stinky) subway to the ferry with outdoor seating, skyline views and a fresh…

The big reveal
Curious to see my creation from the paint and sip event last night? Well, let me tell you: a new artist is born! Just joking, but for my first attempt, I think it turned out quite cool. Luckily, art is subjective and, in this case, very abstract… I really had an great time, met some…

Sunday stroll
First time I’ve ventured outside Manhattan and explored Greenpoint. The northern tip of Brooklyn has nice vibes, cool restaurants and amazing views of the Manhattan skyline ☺️ The area was originally farmland and many European settlers landed on this strip of American soil which they referred to as the lush, tree covered tip of land…

Bird’s-eye view of Manhattan
I was so lucky to get the opportunity to do a helicopter flight over manhattan… a truly one of a kind experience! The tour provider promised spectacular views from above and an extraordinary adventure. And they did not disappoint! Here’s a little teaser. I will share some additional snippets over the coming weeks, but if…

The Whitney Museum of American Art was founded by Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney in 1930. It is famous for collecting, preserving, interpreting, and exhibiting the finest twentieth century American Art. The building is designed by architect Renzo Piano – one of the most admired museum architects- and is situated between the High Line and the Hudson…

NYC trash collection
It always strikes me that one of the most modern and innovative cities in the world still collects its trash like this… super outdated, unhygienic and smelly- especially with these hot temperatures and high humidity! It’s fascinating (and shocking) that trash collection in NYC hasn’t changed since like… ever. If you’re curious, check out this…
