Proud purveyor of Brown Butter and Candied Bacon ice cream smushed between two gluten-free peanut butter miso cookies. Yep, really.

You may have been led to believe that summer was officially over, but the sun is still shining and we’re feeling slightly sweaty in our sweaters. Luckily, the highly sought after Coolhaus truck is making a rare appearance at Columbia today. Head over to Broadway, between 114th and 115th, from noon to 5 pm to grab a “gourmet,” made to order (and New York Times recommended!) ice cream sandwich before the sub-60 degree temperatures kick in again.

Sundaes on Wednesdays

In case you missed it yesterday, Peace by Peace is holding another info session tonight from 8-9 pm in Diana. They will be giving out free Ice Cream Sundaes and there are unconfirmed reports suggesting an excess of sprinkles.

Come for the sugar high, stay for the lessons on conflict resolution in elementary schools.

*Not a Barnard Freshman

Healthy Leads (formerly Project Health) will be giving away free food during an info session at 6:30 in Lerner 569. Check out the group’s website for more information.

The SGA is scooping free ice cream for Barnard Freshmen (women?) from 6:30 – 7:30 in the Diana Center.

The pre-school free food continues! Currently in the lobby of Broadway residence hall there are two large tubs of ice cream along with a couple of smaller Ben & Jerry mini-tubs. Have at it!

Update: Apparently there are events in Ruggles and Schapiro as well—three cheers!

One unfortunate Wienie was devastated upon returning to the communal fridge—rather than the comforting icy delights of Ben & Jerry’s, this Wiener found nothing at all.

Not sure we want to think about where that ice cream could possibly have been…

GOOD LUCK ON FINALS!

Just when we thought this place couldn’t get any more boring, all sorts of new minutiae decided to crop up! Spring is here-ish, new chairs abound, and Boringside Heights is serving up ice cream like it’s goin’ out of style. Midterms be damned—it’s a good time to be at Columbia.

• It’s been reported that Hewitt has a new ice cream freezer. On Friday afternoon, it featured Fudgsicles and orange Creamsicles. This is already making Bwog reminisce about our childhood (you know, back in 2006 when we were born).
• On the new chairs front, Community Food and Juice is also rumored to have new barstools. Check them out tomorrow while nursing a Bloody Mary at Sunday brunch.

Treats are everywhere! (Sike) The boys of Lambda Phi Epsilon are hoping to make your final official study day a good one: they’ll be serving free ice cream and root beer floats from 4-6 today on Ancel Plaza in front of EC. Thanks, fellas!

Update, 4 PM: More from the wacky world of CU free food: people are giving out peanut M&Ms outside Butler. Those with nut allergies, be warned.

It may not be summer yet—finals and the weather are conspiring against us, it seems—but that doesn’t mean you can’t find a veritable summer’s day of free food this afternoon and evening. At 5:00pm, the annual CU Carnaval barbecue takes over South Lawn. Expect free eats and lots of samba–Facebook event here. And what’s a summer barbecue day without ice cream? The Columbia Women’s Business Society will hold it down on Lerner’s East Ramp Lounge at 9:00pm with a free ice cream study break. Details here.

Ben&Jerry’s is available for gratuitous consumption this evening courtesy of CCSC tonight at 8pm at the Lerner Piano Lounge. Get an extra scoop if you show up in PJs! Donations will also be collected for Save the Children.

There will also be free food at Quarto Literary Magazine’s launch party and reading at 8:30pm in 501 Dodge.

Update, 8:05 p.m.: There’s a lot of people in need of some B&J!

The sun shines on Morningside Heights! (Which means that the line for Mr. Softee runs back to the gates.)

…but don’t you want soft ice cream?

It’s true! In preparation for Passover Hillel is hosting a BYOC (C for chametz) study break. There will be ice cream. 8-9, 2nd floor of Hillel.

Also in other news, the full schedule for College Days has been announced, meaning a whole weekend of costless treats for you die-hard free foodians.

Good evening you lucky, lucky Columbians–tonight you’ve got not one, but two opportunities to get happy on free food. Here’s the scoop:

1) Need a little wisdom? The Emerging Leaders Program will be hosting the advICE CREAM SPEED MEETING tonight from 5:30-6:30 in Lerner Party Space. Basically, you speed-date for wisdom nuggets while chowing down on free ice cream and then leave with a balloon, which itself contains a slip of paper with advice written on it. Click here for all the sagacious details.

2) Free refreshments will be available at tonight’s Kampuchea for SEADS (Southeast Asian Development and Service) discussion on the Economics of Education, held at 7:30 PM in the Satow Room. Those present will talk about financing and fostering schools in developing areas over coffee, cocoa, and finger foods.

Around 9pm the Lerner piano lounge will play host to a lot of ice cream, Pepsi, root beer and of course, and lots of eager, ice-cream-scooping student government kids.

Though “floating” isn’t the word Bwog would use to describe the transition from freshman to sophomore year, CCSC 2012 certainly has its heart in the right dessert.
