Bwog got the inside scoop on Mel’s today from a former CC student working for the Mel’s Team. It will be open in late July (that’s soon!), they’ll hopefully be accepting Flex, and the food and beer selection will be “extremely high quality” (Dogfish Head and Kobe beef, riiiite?) and reasonably priced. Knees bent for this to go VIRAL: Mel’s has a Twitter and Facebook, and there will be special promotions for “early adopters” i.e people who follow and like (respectively) Mel’s on the Internet.
Mel’s still doesn’t have a website, but we learned that its owner is Nick Tsoulos, who also owns Goodburger, Patsy’s and Angelo’s. These are fine eateries, and we look forward to welcoming Mel’s to the hood. Last time we visited Tomo it was kind of a bummer, anyway.

@"it's a thing!" what is this phrase and where is it from and why does Eliza Shapiro like it so much?
@Eliza It’s a thing- like- it will soon exist! It just feels like an appropriately vague way to refer to something that doesn’t exist now, but will in the future. I’ll tone it down, though. Forgive me this title, I’ll lay it to rest after this post.
@"it's a thing!" nononono I was just curious! don’t change!
@Eliza Tanks! But I say it too much in real life (in which I am Eliza, the person, not Eliza, the blue comment) anyway.
@I loled... lol Tanks
@Eliza, Do Bwoggers actually have real lives? Or is it like Spec, which gives you a byline but takes your soul and social life?
@Eliza Yes, we have real lives! It’s We elect to make friends both with other Bwoggers AND with other people at Columbia, which is the key distinction there.
@WTF There’s a restaurant named Goodburger? How the fuck had I not heard of that?
@Anonymous Because you’ve never been below 96th Street.
@joe You’re not missing anything by not knowing about Goodburger. It’s way overpriced and, despite the name, the burgers aren’t very good.
@no Good Burger is good
