Early Summer 2018 Playlist: This is My Throwback Song
It may not be Thursday, but we’re throwing it back with the early summer playlist. The heat and humidity always take us back to driving by the Ohio River with our windows down, belting whatever was on the radio at the top of our lungs or jamming out to a carefully burned CD from a…

Winter 2017: Make a Brand New Start of It
A new year has dawned and, for maybe the first time, we both returned from our beloved Bluegrass State after a holiday break with that cozy, fuzzy feeling of going back home. Somehow, without either of us realizing it, this madhouse of a city wormed its way into our Southern hearts. And while our roots…

Winter 2016 Playlist: Snowfall Songs
We love a good holiday song here at Z&S. Give us chestnuts roasting over an open fire, dreams of white Christmases, and dreidels made of clay, and we go positively cuckoo for carols. We abstain all year, you see, saving up for that sacred festive season, and then as soon as the clock strikes midnight…

March Playlist: When Words Fail
Over the months, we’ve brought you playlists of love songs and sidewalk stompers, rainy day tunes and Broadway favorites.

November Playlist: City of Strangers
Commuting is an integral part of New York City life — hours spent on crowded subway platforms, sweltering in the summer and icy in the winter months, smelling of piss and one dollar pizza.

September Playlist: Indian Summer
Last week we turned the page on the calendar with eager fingers. Fall has always been our favorite season, and September promised changing leaves and the first hints of a drop in the mercury, the air crisp with possibility. Mother Nature, however, does not seem to have gotten the memo. We went to sleep with…

June Playlist: Songs to Lounge in Parks By
Normally, the first week of June would find us in full-blown summer mode: sweltering subway platforms followed by refrigerated cars, snow-white legs breaking free of tights for the first time all year, the tinkling of Mr. Softee trucks haunting our dreams. This year, however, Mother Nature appears to be confused. While the end of May…

October Playlist: Drizzly Morning, 3 a.m.
Don’t you just love New York in the fall? While it does put us in the mood to buy school supplies, those drizzly October evenings can get us feeling a bit melancholy and nostalgic, wistful for days past or for dreams still unrealized. When it’s 3 a.m. and sleep is nowhere in sight, sometimes all…
