At the East River, right next to the Industry City, where I was the other day, you can find a Rooftop Farm, one of many in New York, where Shelley and I were Yesterday. Other than participating in a self-defense workshop, I used the time up there to relax, after a very busy Saturday planning upcoming Projects in Little Caribbean. Shelley bought a whole box of...

After almost two weeks, yesterday was my first Laundry Day. That took only a little more than an hour, so around 2 pm, I went to Grand Central Terminal, where I let the surprisingly calm atmosphere sink in, before I went outside and did Street Photography for a few hours. At this place, the pace is different than for example at Washington Square Park, where the...

Yesterday, I continued the nostalgic tour in Chelsea, where I visited the Market, which got expanded and then the High Line Park, which got expanded too, since I was here the last time. New Buildings were there and Vendors and a lot more people, than I remember. It was a hot day (today it will be too) and I walked in the shadow, as often, as I could. In the evening,...

Yesterday, I went to an old friend, Williamsburg, where I stayed for one Week in 2012 with the dearest Berlin friends, anyone could ask for. There was a bus from the place, where I live now, directly to Marcy Ave, where we always got off the train to go home to our blueish house, from where we had the most amazing view of the Williamsburg bridge. And Marcy Ave is...

Let’s begin with this: I wasn’t at the right place for the fireworks, but I was at the right place. At 5 pm, I arrived at Dumbo, right between Brooklyn Bridge and Manhattan Bridge on the Brooklyn side – from there, you have a great view of Manhattan. I started with a few hours of Street Photography and I enjoyed the wonderful weather and the wind...

It is the end of the Caribbean American Heritage Month and they had the appropriate Music and food for the visitors. Shelley held a speech and I enjoyed the shadow under the trees. Sunday, I did some...

On any given day, diving into Manhattan is a little adventure. Yes, part of it is the architecture but most of it is the life in it, the people populating the streets and parks, and their openness to even a pale german guy like myself. First, I went to Barnes & Noble to get a Magazine for a dear friend and then, I walked downtown to Washington Square Park,...

This City is vibrant, not only in color but also in the People communicating, whether it’s in a store or at a traffic light, singing together on Union Square, or sitting opposite each other at a chess board. It is almost like, everybody goes outside to live. I imagine them going home in the evening, exhausted just like me, and happy. Today, I went to B&H,...

Yesterday started early with some work and writing my blog in the garden. Hungry like a wolf, I went to Manhattan, to Katz’s Delicatessen, a Landmark in itself and for its delicious food. I haven’t been there since 2015, but it looks and tastes the same. I added coleslaw to the famous Pastrami Sandwich, and this time, I made them wrap up one half,...

It is Wednesday morning 9:24 am and I am sitting in the garden with my coffee. It rained last night, and air is fresh and filled with the smell of wood and leaves, flowers and herbs. Yesterday, I woke up late and I went to the Brooklyn Promenade, one of my favorite places in New York, where you can let the city sink into your mind while sitting relaxed on a park...
