A night of surprising elegance and food at JJ’s Place.

You walk down the stairs to JJ’s, and suddenly, you’re on a red carpet—a great change of scenery for a place we usually wouldn’t feel our most elegant at. The JJ’s staff went all out in the best way to celebrate the 2020 Oscars and host a food-filled watch party. With giant figures of trophies and a red and gold decor, students appreciated the staff’s efforts to celebrate theatre, film, and the arts featuring Columbia and Barnard alum. 

Best of all, JJ’s brought out vanilla and chocolate milkshakes whose quality topped those of the $7 Shake Shack ones on Broadway. While many of us end up at JJ’s on weekend nights, the staff made this Sunday night special. Entering the seating area, students gathered by the large screen to watch their favorite stars elegantly walk down a red carpet just like they did, receive awards, and laugh along to Billie Eilish’s facial expressions.

With the best fried food and milkshakes, we are blessed to have our very own comfort food, open day and night, in our basement. JJ’s staff, we appreciate you.
