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…

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,…

February Round Up
February may be the shortest month, but it managed to cram a whole lot into its 29 days (Happy Leap Year!). The weather flip-flopped from balmy spring to frigid winter and back again. Scout left one job and started another (her first real, honest-to-god, 9-to-5 gig — having weekends off is crazy, guys). Zelda upped…

Onwards and Upwards
This time last year, I shared with you all a list of 15 new things I wanted to do in 2015. Some were culinary, some were cultural, some were personal, and all of them fed into my larger resolutions of being more proactive and getting to know — and, hopefully, love — New York better.…

Eat This, Drink That: Pulled Pork & Hot Toddies
This month’s installment of Eat This, Drink That was a bit of a doozy for Scout. While she’s not a frequent cook, she’s pretty good at following recipes when the occasion arises. But when it comes to preparing meat, most recipes expect you to have some previous experience in the matter, which she does not.…

Eat This, Drink That: Applepalooza
Fall is upon us! As we’ve said before, it is absolutely our favorite quarter of the year. The air is crisp, the leaves are changing, and apples are ripe for the harvesting. Zelda recently took a trip out of the city to pick some of said apples, and so we decided it was only appropriate…

Eat This, Drink That: Cornbread & Show Thyme
In an attempt to hold each other accountable to separately made resolutions, we have decided to combine two of our year-long goals into a series of posts. Welcome to Eat This, Drink That, in which kitchen-phobic Scout attempts to cook and compulsive baker Zelda takes the bartending reigns, in pursuit of her New Year’s resolution…

Chocolate, Pecan, Bourbony Goodness
The more time I spend in the Northeast, the more I find myself acting as an informal (and sometimes formal) ambassador for my beloved Derby City. Because let me tell you, that little race that New Yorkers are quick to write off as a silly Southern fling is, in fact, a pretty big f-ing deal.…

Party Like a Louisvillian: The Ultimate Derby Party Hosting Guide
The best way to celebrate Derby is in Louisville itself. However, if like me you find yourself far from the homestead come Derby Day, the second best thing is to throw a big, fabulous shindig yourself and show them Yankees (or Californians or Parisians or whatever) how it’s done. The last time I was home…

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.…
