Winter 2019 Playlist: Do the Thing!
Here’s the deal, y’all This playlist was originally slated to go out on January 2nd, after our customary holiday break. But as we crawled into 2019, we found ourselves having a little trouble getting into the new year groove. There were newspaper articles to write, jury duties to serve, exhibitions to plan for. Sometimes, life just…

Hydration is Key, and Other Lessons 2018 Taught Me
2018 has felt at least 84 years long for sure. But as it draws to a close, I’ve found myself in an introspective mood. I can easily say that 2018 has been the year that I’ve felt the closest to being an actual adult. I’ve learned a lot about the world and about myself and…

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…

Scout’s Unconventional Resolution Update
Back in January, I laid out several somewhat unconventional resolutions for 2016. The idea was that by focusing on these out-of-the-box, mostly tangible items, I’d be able to achieve some of my more abstract and harder to quantify goals for the year. So as we approach the six month mark in 2016, I felt it was time to…

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.…

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,…

15 New Things: Whoa, We’re Halfway There
Greetings, dear readers! With June officially coming to a close, we have reached the halfway mark in 2015 (crazy, I know). And so this seemed like an apt time to check in on my resolutions/goals/new adventures for the year. I started this year off with a list of 15 new things I wanted to do,…

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…

15 New Things: Profite bien!
We’re two months in to 2015, ⅙ of the way through this year, and so I thought I owed all of you lovely readers an update on my resolutions. I started this year with a list of 15 new things I intended to do, try, or learn in 2015. Here’s how I’m doing so far.…

15 New Things for 2015
Well, it’s official. A new year has begun. I’ve never really been big on New Year’s resolutions, partly because it seems arbitrary to me that January 1st is the day when you suddenly turn your life upside down, and partly because I have a terrible track record at keeping them. I think part of it stems…
