Jeder kennt ihn und seine Musik, viele hören sie noch heute. Wollt ihr in Louis’s Spuren treten und das Gefühl bekommen, dass er gleich um die Ecke kommt? Geht ins Armstrong House. DAS Haus ist das Museum. Für eine Weile fühlt man sich der damaligen Zeit und der Jazzmusik ganz nah. Faszinierend, die Geschichten um seinen Hauskauf und sein Leben in Corona, Queens. Wenn “Satchmo” nach einem Konzert nach Hause kam, hat er es oft nicht in sein Haus geschafft. Er setzte sich einfach zu den Nachbarskindern auf die Stufen seines Hauses, redete und spielte Trompete.

Do you ride safely in a Taxi or ride share service in NYC with your kids?
In big cities like New York, owning a car is rare and taking the taxi for short or long distances is the only way to go. This was a big difference, when moving from Germany to the U.S, and we were not aware of the challenges that would come with it.
