Our Favorite Posts of 2018
Another year is coming to an end! By our estimate, 2018 was at least 84 years long, and full of all kinds of ups and downs, highs and lows, twizzles and turns. As we enter the final year of our twenties, we’re reflecting on the lessons we learned, the songs we listened to, the road/train/plane…

Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy almost Thanksgiving, y’all! This week, we find ourselves in Thailand(!), on a 10-day getaway with two of our nearest and dearest and oldest friends. We got our turkey on early this year, with our annual Friendsgiving dinner with our New York friend-family, and we’ll be celebrating on the actual day with noodles and elephants…

10 Best Posts of 2017
We don’t think we’re alone in saying that we will not miss 2017. On a global scale, it was a year of turmoil, distress, and apocalyptic scenes from coast to coast. But on a personal note, we did some things last year that we are proud of, including on this blog. So in an effort…

Year 3 Favorites, and a Vacation Announcement!
Hello, lovelies! The time has come: Though we struggle to believe it, we are about to celebrate another full year — our third — here at Zelda and Scout. It’s been a roller coaster ride, full of political turmoil and personal growth, hot sauce and kitchen dance parties. And we couldn’t have done it without…

Zelda’s Favorites: 0% Political Reading from Around the Internet
Many moons ago (ok, not that many), we used to close out our months here on Z&S with a round-up of our favorite things. This included music and movies, things we were eating or drinking or listening to. And it included things we’d read — sometimes books, but mostly articles from around the internet that…

See Ya Later, 2016; We Probably Won’t Miss You.
It’s been quite a year. And, if we’re honest, we’re glad it’s coming to an end. But even so, we have had some fun this year, somehow. So we’ll leave you with our 12 favorite pieces from this year — one from each month. And we’ll see you in 2017. January: Scout’s Must See NYC Artworks –…

New Resolve
Hey y’all. It’s been a rough week. We’re both still reeling from an election that didn’t go the way we hoped. We’re scared for friends and neighbors, and we’re trying to recover from the result and turn to proactive choices. We’re donating to places we think will help. We’re having conversations — at work, with friends…

July Round Up
It’s summertime in the city, and the living in our parts is decidedly sweaty. The heat has seeped in everywhere, even in places that should remain blessedly cool (see: Scout’s workplace, Zelda’s apartment). Zelda spent much of this month drowning in politics (#newsroomlyfe), while Scout was besieged by hordes of summer campers (#museumlyfe). But we…

June Round Up
June busted out all over the place this year and flew by in such a whirlwind that we can’t quite believe it’s almost gone. We’ve been busy bees this month: We both went home for the weekend (on separate occasions), we both saw the Dixie Chicks (once together, Zelda twice), we saw some great theatre…

May Round Up
Hot damn, guys, it is officially summer in the city! And with barely a handful of true springtime days to call our own. The sticky heat has descended on the boroughs with a vengeance, prompting us to invest in some seasonal picnic blankets, new sandals, and industrial-strength window fans. Where did this past month go,…
