Hot chocolate with a kick
This Saturday I popped by a Baileys pop-up — the tasty, creamy liquor that’s especially famous during the holidays. I had a hot chocolate with Baileys and whipped cream on a very cold December day, surrounded by fairy lights and Christmas trees. A nice little warm-up. It reminded me of all those beautiful Christmas markets…

Day of the Dead Ofrenda
Following yesterday’s post about pan de muerto, I came across a stunning Día de los Muertos ofrenda at Hudson Yards today. The ofrenda was framed by cascades of vibrant cempasúchil (marigolds) and flanked by elegantly dressed Catrinas — their painted faces and traditional dresses forming a beautiful tableau against the bluest autumn sky. An ofrenda…

Pigeon Deluxe
It’s been a while since my last post—time flies in this city! But here it is, my weekend update, making up for the silence with something… big. There’s a giant pigeon on the High Line. Supersized in true American fashion. It’s very silly. Very ugly. But also very New York. The kind of thing that…

Lighting up the night sky
The city is aglow in festive lights, and at Hudson Yards, the holiday decorations beautifully enhance the surrounding architecture, including The Shed’s Bloomberg building. Fun fact: The Bloomberg event space, part of The Shed, is housed in a structure on rails that can expand outward. Known as The McCourt, this movable feature allows the building…

New York Fashion week
Has now ended after a couple of days full of glamour, cool vibes and curiosities. But truth be told, most of what I was able to witness were fences and barriers. From time to time I caught a glimpse of high fashion and absurdities (sometimes hard to differentiate) but unfortunately I was never quick enough…

Old tree
A bright red and pink sculpture by Pamela Rosenkranz juts out between all the high rises at Hudson Yards. This tree of life connects heaven and earth and its color represents the human blood, its branches the system of human organs. I know it’s quite a bit to take in, but the artist wants to…

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…

Paint and sip
I thought it’s time to try something new! So I signed up for a painting class 🎨 The idea is to get creative whilst enjoying a glass of wine and munch a slice of pizza (can it get even more ‘New York’!?) Super curious to see what the evening will bring but so far, the…

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 🗽

New York hits differently 😉
What a first day in the city! Not even 24 hours since my arrival and I’ve walked The High Line, visited Hudson Yards, viewed seven apartment complexes, walked 20,000 steps, devoured one of the best bagels I’ve ever had and enjoyed one of the most incredible sushi experiences ever!! I guess the first day has…
