  • Zelda’s Seven New York Adventures for 2017

    Zelda’s Seven New York Adventures for 2017

    ‘Tis the season for resolutions, to-do lists and their ilk. This year I’m focusing not on the things I want to minimize or cut from my life, but on the new places and things I want to experience in this, my fourth year calling New York home. This is by no means a complete list…

  • June Round Up

    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…

    June Playlist: 2016 Tony’s Study Guide

    It’s that time of year again, y’all! The most theatrical weekend of them all, bursting with talent (and drinking game potential) — it’s Tony season! Now you may have heard tell, from us or from literally any news outlet in the world, about a little musical called Hamilton that is poised to sweep all of the…

  • 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…

  • February Round Up

    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…

    20 Emojis Every New Yorker Needs

    Every year, the English-speaking world waits with bated breath to learn which lucky word has been selected by the Oxford English Dictionary as Word of the Year. The choice is usually representative of the collective zeitgeist, large-scale shifts in the cultural landscape that will change the texture of the human experience for generations to come.…

  • January Round Up

    January Round Up

    Our third calendar year on the blog (wait…what?) is off to a good, if cold, start. We’ve been busy working and writing, and we’ve both been ailing — Scout with a killer cold and Zelda with a debilitating stomach bug — so we’re sorry if we haven’t been all that present this month. But still,…

  • 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…

  • December Round Up

    December Round Up

    Goodness gracious, y’all. The calendar tells us there are a scant two days left in 2015, and we suppose it must be true. This year was hard and it was fun, filled with new beginnings and unknowns. We write to you one year older than on January 1st, and we hope perhaps a bit wiser,…
