Yes NYC!

Due to the great demand, here are the highlights of the two students’ recommendations for life (see previous article). The whole theory of them is rather complex, so I will try to summarize as good as I can. Note the German translations, they will give you the right “feel”:
1) Theoretically, it doesn’t matter whether you […]

Jet lag can be a mean thing if mixed together with the unicorn song (my favorite NYC art stars music video): awake at 3:30 am and cannot get the refrain out of my head. Who needs hallucinogen drugs, try this instead: watch the video after your arrival (meaning: after not having slept for the entire […]

That’s how we celebrated Christmas - using a box instead of a tree and watching the Yule Log burn. Actually the Christmas Box is an ideas that we got form a Christmas CD that we bought at the Merry Shitmas show, which is by the way, being condemned by the Catholic League. What a great […]

We are little behind with blogging, sorry. This is because the end of our stay is approaching soon, which urges us to do even more, if this is possible at all. We have been to Jessica Delfino’s Merry Shitmas Show last week with a Christmas Market where they sold self-made gifts like a gorgeous shiny […]

Our friend Alexander is member of the Big Apple Chorus that sings barbershop harmony. Yesterday we used the last chance to see him sing at the Christmas Tree at the South Street Seaport.

45 Artists worked for two months to make an extraordinary exhibit with wall paintings and installations that is only open for three days in a five story building in NoLita. On Monday all of the art will be sealed in behind new interior walls of a house that will be sold as condos.
To see this […]

At about eight, when we […]

Now only 3 weeks are left and I feel torn between New York and Munich already, although looking forward to seeing all of you again very much, because what I really missed most here was family and friends. Makes me think about what I will miss most about NYC. Hard question, because there’s just so […]

Yesterday we thought about what we will probably miss most of New York. One thing is certainly the encounters with very different people. Yesterday a guy looking like Keith Richards was carrying a bag with music coming out of it at the corner of our street. He stopped at the red light and started dancing […]

There’s still so much to catch up with from last weekend. We went to Flushing in Queens, which has been recommended to us (”you will get out of the subway and feel like in the middle of Korea). It’s true. A bit like China Town, but this time really only Asian people there (and us). […]
