NYC Farmer’s Markets
Are basically non existent (if a New Yorker reads this, please convince me otherwise)! If you followed me on Josephine in San Francisco, you know how much I love shopping at local markets and buy regionally grown produce to enjoy the freshest ingredients in my home cooked meals. I knew it wouldn’t be the same…

Here we go again
Another city, another restart. Besides sorting out the obvious like signing a lease, finding your bearings and figuring out where to do your grocery shopping, a big part is also finding your new network of service providers and – more importantly- doctors. I was lucky to get a recommendation for a dentist and was surprised…

Sunday Brunch
One thing New Yorkers apparently love to do is going for long and boozy brunches on the weekend. So I thought today is ideal to join in on the fun. Warm, sunny and the Sunday before the bank holiday, it was the perfect day for a rooftop terrace, a chilled glass of Rosé and an…

Evening stroll
Last night, after a delicious sushi meal, the mild temperatures were perfect for a leisurely after dinner stroll through the neighbourhood. Coming across Washington Square Park was a nice coincidence and the buzz lured us in to explore. Well-known for its arch, honoring George Washington, and its fountain, for me the excitement of the park…

Sparkling ‚clean‘
Getting on an empty and freshly cleaned train is a good start to your early morning commute! Well, to level-set expectations: the floor was wiped with something that looks like it never gets rinsed and the handrails and seats were filthy as always… But let’s appreciate the small things and in this case, the effort…

My new logo
It’s done! My new logo is ready and I hope you’ll love it as much as I do! I worked with the same young artist and kept the general design of my Josephine in San Francisco one but made it more New York-style. Check out the different elements – all things I attribute to this…

Happy Mother’s Day
To all the wonderful mums out there (especially my mum as she’s the best 💖) Finally Mother’s Day of the country I reside falls on the same day as the one celebrated in Germany! So hopefully it’ll help me remember it in the future. Unfortunately today that didn’t work 🫣 So I hope all of…

Final night…
… in temporary housing! Today flew by as it was moving day with so many things to do! So lucky that everything went smoothly: the movers arrived on time, were friendly and helpful, and most importantly, all items made it undamaged across the country from sunny California with only a few scratches here & there…

Über den Wolken
Apologies to my German speaking friends who probably have a really persistent ear worm now 😉 But I think this is the perfect description of this amazing view from the 101st floor which I enjoyed the other night during dinner. You can even see the Statue of Liberty in the background 🗽

A walk in the park
After such a busy week I was craving some nature and thought the best way to spend a relaxed sunday morning is by getting a coffee and walking through Central Park. It was great seeing the trees blossom, the birds singing and the squirrels digging around. It’s so fascinating that this huge, loud and busy…
