Home Away From Home: The Way Station
We do a lot of things to try and combat our homesickness here in New York. Chiefly, we find places that make us feel a little less out of sorts, and a little more like we belong. As previously discussed, for me, that’s usually a bar. I’m one of those people who is good at…

Make It Work
If you’ve moved here from anywhere else, living in New York requires a lot of lifestyle concessions — more trips to the grocery since you can only take what you can carry on the subway, $15 G&T’s, schlepping laundry upwards of four blocks and up and down five stories in a quest to be clean…

Home Away From Home: The Sampler
A lot of my stories start with a bar. I think it’s probably genetic. My parents are nothing if not talented drinkers, who raised me to love the finer things (aka beers and gins) in life. Their friend groups seem to have a high bartender to lay person ratio, and, ever their offspring, I’m always…

Just Folks: Louisvillians on Derby
So we’re just over halfway through our make-shift Derby Festival here on Zelda & Scout, and as a blog about displacement and diaspora, we wanted to focus a couple of days on how to celebrate Derby when you’re far away from Churchill Downs (as we so often are…sigh). The stars aren’t always in alignment for…

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.…
