Happy Thanksgiving!
Unverhofft kommt oft. Some things really do happen out of the blue — like getting a Thanksgiving invitation three hours in advance from my friend in California to her parents’ house in New York. She wasn’t even there, but I went anyway and ended up spending a wonderful evening. It was a traditional Thanksgiving dinner…

NYC-Size Pizza
After a hectic few weeks, this weekend called for slowing down — and for comfort food. And really, what’s better for that than pizza? Not just any pizza, of course, but true NYC style in XXL. Yes, I know you can get big pizzas in Germany too, but those are “family size” — something you…

Borough Market
One of my happiest places in London is Borough Market. It’s been around for over 1,000 years, making it one of the oldest food markets in the city. This Farmers Market is full of life and variety: towering piles of vegetables, fruits at their peak, baskets of whatever’s in season, fragrant herbs, cheeses stacked high,…

Savoring Spain
Another little holiday escape—this time for just one evening and without even leaving the city. Tonight I had dinner at Socarrat, a Spanish restaurant named after the best part of a paella: the crispy, caramelized layer of rice at the bottom of the pan. In Spain, getting the socarrat just right is considered the mark…

4th of July
This Fourth of July, I found myself not at a backyard barbecue or watching fireworks like in past years, but at a Mexican restaurant—enjoying one of the best tuna ceviches I’ve ever had, alongside tacos, quesadillas, and queso fundido. We sat outside, taking in the mild summer evening (a rarity in New York). It might…

Thankful
Today is Thanksgiving—a day that’s all about gathering with family and friends, sharing a meal, and reflecting on what we’re thankful for. Traditionally, the holiday centered around giving thanks for the harvest, but over time, it’s grown to celebrate gratitude in many forms. The classic Thanksgiving table is often filled with turkey, mashed potatoes, roasted…

4th of July
This year has been special as it’s my first Independence Day in New York City and the first time that the firework display isn’t hidden behind thick fog (shoutout to Karl 😉) So in true American fashion, I made burgers for dinner and enjoyed the fireworks from a front row seat with a chilled glass…

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…

Focaccia to the rescue
The whole day I have been thinking that it is Friday- the last day of the work week which felt like a work month compressed into a few days. Just to notice on my way home from work that I still have one more day to go. This definetly calls for some comfort food in…

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 🗽
