Posted onFebruary 6, 2021Leave a comment

The snow storm also had me say repeatedly that we had snow days every year in Istanbul. This always leads to a disbelief in whoever I tell. Yes, Istanbul is not a city with eternal warmth. Not that I knew Read More …

My Tattoos

Happy Valentine’s Day! In my mind Turkey is always romantic, full of big love, big fights, a little sappy. I still believe that Turkey is the country where the greatest love stories are spun, but they also create the saltiest Read More …

Everbody needs a blankie and Josephine ❤️ her
Everbody needs a blankie and Josephine ❤️ her personalized blanket because it is super soft 👶. We loved choosing it for her - there were so many options for colors 🎨, fonts and symbols. Eventually we settled for teal and the elephant 🐘. The blanket has the right size to wrap up Josephine, put her on it or even put it in the stroller with her. Also, because it is made in the U.S., it arrived within a few days. We (and esp. Josephine) are so happy with this blanket 🧺 {link in story and bio}
P.s. Now her German Opa will never again misspell her name 🤓

Yesterday we went to Katz's for the first time 🤩. My pastrami sandwich 🥪 was delicious, but a little too big. And I love myself a good chocolate egg cream 🥤 (milk + chocolate syrup + soda), a real NYC invention.
Recently, I have developed a big interest in the history of immigrant cultures and their foods in NYC (ca. 1850 to 1920). And now I have a whole new list of restaurants, diners and delis that we need to go to 🤓📜. Do you have any recommendations for me?
