Today is final opening day at Yankee Stadium, as the team will be moving to a new stadium across the street in 2009. The Yankees will be playing against the Toronto Blue Jays starting at 1:05 PM. Reggie Jackson will be throwing the first pitch, and there will be all kinds of opening/closing ceremonies.  If […]

Bwog was curious about the large-ish metal movie trailers currently outside the Starbucks on Broadway. We spotted a man who appeared to be fixing a faulty hinge on a door to the trailer. The man informed us that the trailers were for the movie Gigantic. “Who’s in it?” we asked. “John Goodman!” the man replied, […]

The topics for these opinions were chosen specifically because they were not timely.  Something tells Bwog that Aristotle would not have enjoyed his name next to this picture. We’re all part of Columbia!  Yay! Wait up guys, John Adams was President?  Somebody should publicize this fact on an HBO miniseries!  The words of a sage: […]

DJ Tanner, the Pike-based hip-hop group comprised of Peter Capraro SEAS ’09 and Michael Kosdan SEAS ’09, has just released “The Experience,” in which DJ T thoroughly reps Krebs and company, citing, among other things, their fresh tattoos and an ability to rock gold hearts like ice cubes. While you can hear the tune here, […]

Every Sunday, as you roll out of bed and head to brunch, Bwog will be doing the same. Except we’ll be writing about our brunching experience in hopes of improving your next one. Bwog’s Sunday Brunch will run every Sunday.  The Place: Community Food & Juice The Location: Broadway between 112th and 113th Expect to […]

Several vendors are giving away free pizza to Columbia/Barnard students? Oops – looks like the word free needs to be in quotation marks. Joel WHO for Class Day Speaker? Off-campus Flex is real? And, minus a few technical problems, it actually works? Obama is still committed to visiting every single college in New York City […]

Bwog loves food, especially cheap food.   Bwog also loves Brooklyn.  Indeed, Bwog loves Brooklyn Restaurant Week.  Here, Bwog offers a selective assortment of some Brooklyn Restaurant Week stand-outs.  If lines are long at the participating restaurants, Bwog provides a few noteworthy non-participating restaurants. Unfortunately the borough publicizes rather humbly and Bwog just learned of the […]

Tipster Jenny Lam has good news for fans of Freaks and Geeks and Spider-Man: “Stalkers, plan accordingly: I was at the Whitney Museum administrative offices for an internship interview this afternoon. I’m signing in at the security desk, only to look up and see “JAMES FRANCO” written above my name.  I turn around, and, sure […]

Bwog daily editor Hillary Busis sends the following tip our way: “There are adorable Girl Scouts selling Thin Mints, Tagalongs, Samoas and shortbread cookies with a name I can’t remember [Trefoils!—Ed.] outside of the church on the corner of 114th and Broadway right now. $3.50 a box is a little steep, but worth it.” Tipster […]

Bwog’s theatrical afternoon continues with Tony Gong’s review of the Classics Department’s production of Antigone.  Last night, I journeyed into Columbia classics undergraduates’ first performance of Antigone at the Minor Latham Playhouse in Milbank, buried deep within the Barnard’s campus. The mystical and labyrinthine trek was well-worth it—partly due to the unique theater experience that […]

Take advantage of student theater! The final performance of Harold Pinter’s Moonlight is tonight at 8 o’clock in the Lerner Black Box. Go and be literary! Harold Pinter’s Moonlight is in no way the typical drama performed by eager undergraduates and Sarah Wansely’s choice to take on this work reflects a certain courage and confidence […]

If one was passing through campus early this evening, one might have seen a crowd of over a hundred people gathered in a circle on the Low steps. It’s even more likely though, that one might have simply heard the crowd, as the music was loud enough to turn heads on the other side of […]

This week on Cooking with Bwog we bring you solutions for dealing with those times when nothing in your fridge works with anything else. Questions or concerns? Send them to bwog@columbia.edu. 1. If it’s vegetable, it will probably go with other vegetables. Last week Bwog made dinner by cooking every veggie Bwog had in the […]

In case you haven’t noticed,Columbia’s favorite red-tail has his (or her?) own Hawkmadinebwog! To show our affection, Bwog staffers have been writing haikus in honor of the best individual of Order Falconiformes. Ours are pretty good (see below) but we think you, dear readers and hawk fans, can do better. And since one of H-dad’s […]

Allison Halff, Bwog’s Argentina correspondent, was kind enough — through the magic of El Internet — to give us Wien sufferers a quick lecture on the wonders of Watt. When my roommate and I got an exceptionally good lottery number at the end of freshman year, the first dorm we toured was Watt. After walking […]
