An astute tipster informed Bwog today that he noticed odd hours at staple campus eateries Ferris Booth and JJs Place. After a quick phone call to Dining Services, Bwog was able to dig up last year’s hours for comparison.
Indeed, much has changed and no longer is it possible to make 3am romps to JJs from Butler study-forts in order to replenish diminishing Red Bull supplies.
More to come on the administration’s reasons for these changes and cut-backs. Full comparison of hours of these two locations after the jump.
Last Year’s Hours
JJs
Monday-Thursday 8pm – 4am
Sunday 3pm-4am
Ferris Booth

@CC 07 JJ’s used to be open only until 2am until 2004-2005. One of CC ’07 Class Council’s actual achievements was getting JJ’s to extend hours to 4am. So this is just a return to status quo.
HOWEVER – back in the days of 2am JJ’s, JJ’s also opened on Saturday afternoon until about 8pm. The decision to move to a 4am closing involved ‘redistributing’ the Saturday hours. Now they seem to have simply been eliminated.
This is why institutional history is important…
@Wait A Second... You claim to be CC07, and yet you have a pretty little crown on your comment?
Either you’re a creepy Alum who can’t get off campus, or a grad student…
Also, HamDel must be psyched to be getting that drunk freshmen 3am crowd on Thursdays now.
@CC 07 I’m came back to grad school just to keep my cubmail account.
Also, you know that alumni have library access, right?
@So... you’re both?
@um... I believe the change in hours was due to the councils’ Student Services Reps (and the councils themselves) analyzing JJ’s traffic and determining the most cost-effective schedule for students.
I also believe the 2-4 AM period was unfavorable due to the low traffic during that time…
Can I get a confirmation on this, CCSC/ESC?
@so then I bet housing and dining will be pocketing the savings.
@foolishness whats even more ridiculous is that John Jay no longer gives out plastic bags for their take-out. Thanks for making us look like retards trying to balance the cup on top of the container, while trying to keep the fork and straw from sliding off…
@wait 8 pm for ferris? that’s misleading – i was just there at 7:30, and the only thing open was the taco stand.
@ronald mcdonald i wonder how much pinnacle and hamdel paid off columbia to make this happen.
@also Pretty sure Tasti closes at 10 instead of 11 this year. Maybe Pinkberry’s in on this with Pinnacle and Hamdel.
@ugh even more upsetting: inconsistency between “am pm” and “a.m. p.m.”
@I pity you. Really, I do.
@well rumor has it that housing & dining are splitting and will no longer be the same department. true, bwog?
@can they please bring back the asian food? The tacos are gross.
@Ferris Booth They took away Asian food for Ferris Booth? That was really the only decent thing they had. (Although the price was much more than what you would pay for the real thing just across the street).
@hungry I have basically stopped eating breakfast since they shut down the ferris booth bagel man.
@EAL Advice: Become a cereal killer instead. I can put away a box of raisin bran every three days. A box of Cap’n Crunch will only last for two.
@Wait.. Cereal killer or Serial Thrilla?
@this just ain’t right. Columbia’s just being a bitch
@wtf jj's 2 AM? does that mean their grill closes at 1AM this year? or will they hopefully be sane and keep the grill open for the actual hours that jj’s is open?
@morning bagel person has ferris booth stopped serving bagels?
@ugh yes. so upsetting.
@morning bagel person noooooooooo!
NOW where am i going to get a relatively cheap, filling, mildly-nutritious breakfast?
@random morton williams sells bagels for $0.95 with cream cheese or $0.75 with jelly
@sdhhf OWNED. faggots.
@why do Housing and Dining insist on degeneration rather than evolution? Why are they staffed by incompetent buffoons? Why do they always do what makes life for their office easiest rather than what makes the many people who pay their salaries’ lives easiest? argh.
@agreed Housing and Dining is largely incompetent.
@Pissed Off Why is JJ’s closing at 2am instead of 4am, that is ridiculous!
Can CCSC at least extend hours for midterm/finals
