If you’re in the area, stay safe. Update, 12:57 am: The fire took place on the […]

After receiving an intriguing tip, Bwog sent pie-enthusiast Tatini Mal-Sarkar (and a few pie-lovin’ companions) on a mission to find out about Columbia’s newest delivery service. Delivery in New York is rarely disappointing, at the very least with variety if not quality. But until now, one particular corner of the market has not been addressed: […]

Afropolitan, The African Students’ Association showcase of culture was a party and a half last night! Culture fiend Hannah Kramer was sent to check it out.

Anyone who visits Tea Magic will notice these two weird signs on the counter, alarming and urgent in the way zoo signs can say, “DO NOT feed the lions!!” The signs have been there for a while. So what exactly happens if you do speak to the tea specialist…? We asked three different Tea Magic […]

Big Lots has taken product review to the next level. In their ad, they have created a “Pet Focus Group” to better determine the quality of their products.

On Tuesday night, a group of brave bwoggers ventured where no CU student had gone before: the recently opened Beer Hall, Bernheim & Schwartz. Warning: choices not suitable for a Tuesday were made.  Bernheim & Schwartz (aka the place where Havana Central used to be) doesn’t exactly roll off the tongue. However, the possibilities for “Weekend […]
