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).

Brush Up Your Shakespeare, And Other New Year’s Resolutions
I’ll be honest: I’m pretty horrible at New Year’s resolutions. I make them and then I don’t stick by them, usually because they’re too broad, too intangible — things like “get a real job,” “be healthier,” “appreciate New York more,” “keep in touch better,” and “be more social.” While worthy and important goals to be sure,…

Come Hear the Music Play
Summer has been in the New York air this past week (something which, for many months, we wholeheartedly believed we’d never be able to say again). The sunshine and the palpable humidity have put us in mind of one of our favorite summertime, and Southern, activities: listening to music in the great outdoors. May is…
