Where are the chairs? Until they are returned to Ferris…no justice, no peace!

Big changes could be on the way next year for how Columbia students do on-campus dining, especially for those on meal plans. According to student government sources, to meet student desire for greater flexibility in their dining plans and to encourage healthier eating habits, meal plans will be shifting from the current meals-per-semester system to […]

Bwog’s Sean Zimmerman reports from ESC’s first meeting. “We’re pretty sexy, so I’d like to spread that sexiness around.” Varun Gulati’s personal goal for ESC was one of many discussed at the first Engineering Student Council meeting, in which council members congregated in Lerner Cinema to discuss the coming year.  A new year brings new […]

A hungry Bwog tipster just informed us that Ferris is doling out free french fries at their relatively new burger station. Bwog investigated the french fry situation and noted that, although the portion was generous, the fries did not deliver. Our dejected tipster described them as both “vaguely moist” and, perhaps even worse, “limp”. Our […]

A young woman and man meet outside Ferris and engage in a ferocious round of small talk. Girl: I only had one class today! So, yeah, I’m not too busy today. Guy: Oh man, awesome! Wow! You could do anything today. You could even go to Brooklyn! But only if she flies “second to the […]

Looks like the dining options at Ferris Booth continue to change – Bwog tipsters report that the Ferris pizza station has been replaced with a burger grill! Bwog’s not sure yet whether it’s only a lunch thing, but there are three options available – veggie, turkey, and regular – along with a variety of condiments. […]

With the new year comes new dining policies, and none may be more threatening to freshman waistlines than the institution of “Order-by-Phone” pickup system at JJ’s. According to Dining Services, “you can order any food item from the menu in advance by calling 212-851-5801 and can pick it up approximately 15 minutes after the phone […]

Fu Foundation Bureau Chief Sean Zimmermann attended last night’s ESC meeting. Swipe Access died; revelations about Ferris Booth and JJs were unearthed. Swipe access is dead, long live swipe access: During the last night’s ESC meeting, President Peter Valeiras announced that SGA, Barnard’s student council, had decided after meeting with the administration to stop pursuing […]

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 […]

For a three-day week, it sure felt a lot longer. Maybe it was the newness, maybe it was the heat (or Hanna). Either way, let’s relive this auspicious beginning to the semester. Your professors began class in off-putting and amusing ways A mysterious antagonist offended one violent feminist in EC  We discovered our beloved bird of prey […]

It’s a phenomenon almost as annoying as having to re-enter your SSOL password when you leave it alone for more than 3 minutes: rising prices at campus eateries. So far, Bwog tipsters and staff have seen price hikes at many campus eateries. Offenders include Ferris Booth, which, in addition to replacing the popular stir fry […]

In case you haven’t been to Ferris yet — maybe you’re holding off on that particular pleasantry until later in the semester — we’d like to call your attention the new burrito/taco station (right), which sits where the stir-fry paraphernalia once was.  Initial reactions to the tacos and burritos are guardedly optimistic and dissatisfied, respectively. […]

A few tipsters have sent Bwog links to a website called EveryBlock. Users can search by zip code or address to find out all sorts of neat things about a neighborhood like elevator malfunctions, construction work violations and grossest of all: restaurants’ health code violations.  Kitchenette scored a moderately upsetting 14 points, the most nauseating […]
