  • Another Opening, Another Show

    Another Opening, Another Show

    We talk a lot on here about what it means to be a New Yorker, and if that’s something we’ll ever really call ourselves. I’m still not sure I can claim the mantle, but there are definitely things that are no longer as novel to me as they were when I moved here nearly seven…

  • Late Winter Playlist: Come What May

    Late Winter Playlist: Come What May

    Hi, y’all. Forgive us if we aren’t at our most coherent, but at this moment we come to you from an emotional state. As Scout explained in her post last week, we both harbor a potentially unhealthy love for the sport of ice dance — and specifically, for the perfect, beautiful angels known as Tessa…

  • March Round Up

    March Round Up

    Oh March, you topsy turvy month of lions and lambs, sunshine and snow, steaming hot lattes and iced coffee on the rocks, you really took us for a roller coaster ride. We’ve been busy of late — with work, with friends, with life — and your ups and downs left us feeling discombobulated at times,…

  • Zelda’s 2016 Broadway Wish List

    Zelda’s 2016 Broadway Wish List

    It’s been well-established on this blog that both Scout and I are giant theatre nerds. In my case it was ingrained since birth — my parents did meet at choir rehearsal, after all — and I spent my childhood running around the house with a basket in hand and a napkin on my head, belting out Les…

  • January Playlist: Non-Stop

    January Playlist: Non-Stop

    It’s a new year, which means our lives are filled with new goals and new outlooks on how to approach the big obstacles in life. This month, we wanted to make a playlist jam-packed with the songs that give us that extra push, the ones that make us sprint that final stretch or meet that looming…

  • Don’t You Just Love New York in the Fall?

    Don’t You Just Love New York in the Fall?

    It makes me want to buy school supplies, and do all of the things on this list. New York in the fall is New York at its best, conjuring up Nora Ephron and Rob Reiner visions of a city gone sepia-toned. You can keep your summer rooftop bars and your springtime row boats and your…

  • These Are a Few of Our Favorite Folks: New York Edition!

    These Are a Few of Our Favorite Folks: New York Edition!

    The internet is a big place, and many people call it home. That’s the wonderful thing about technology: It allows you to form cozy little communities whose members may be scattered to all corners of the globe. You can connect with people miles away or right next door, all at the drop of a hat.…

  • March Playlist: Musical Madness, Act II

    March Playlist: Musical Madness, Act II

    Our love of musicals is so great it spilled over into a second act, and that’s with the pared down version. (It’s not a problem: It’s just a challenge — it’s a challenge! — to resist…putting every song we love on this list.) We pick up after intermission with two Southern gals relocating to New…

  • GRITS: Sutton Foster

    GRITS: Sutton Foster

    This article is part of our series “GRITS: Girls Raised in the South,” in which we profile some of our favorite Dixie ladies and the things that make them awesome. Got an idea for a fabulous femme we should feature? Shoot us an email at zeldaandscout@gmail.com! (Alliteration optional.) Name: Sutton Foster Born: March 18th, 1975,…

  • March Playlist: Musical Madness, Act I

    March Playlist: Musical Madness, Act I

    When you move to New York, there are a lot of things that are…disappointing. Whether you’ve been rewatching You’ve Got Mail since age 7 or gobbling up Serendipity hot chocolates and Canal Street knock-offs on weekend visits, when you finally find yourself in the Big Apple, you quickly learn that the reality does not match…
