Ready for a shot of life! Here’s your biweekly Drinking With Bwog fix with JJ Rivera from the Columbia Bartending Agency. C’est la Vie. At least, that’s what I was thinking on Sunday while enjoying wine, bread, and cheese at the park. This past weekend, Bryant Park transformed into Taste of France, an event celebrating […]

If your goal is to actually get into 1020 (sorry, anonymous Bwog staffer, “1,020” is never gonna happen), The Line is pretty indefensible. The only thing worse than freezing one’s ass off on a cold November night is counting the drunk people walking out the door, hoping there’s finally enough room for you and your […]

The hoarders: “Through Pavlovian psychology, I’ve trained the freshman in my suite in Hartley to steal fruit daily” “I saw a girl (who may or may not have been my roommate) fill several 1-liter plastic bottles […]

Spotlight on Soccer The Lady Lions have been kicking the ball as of late. They’ve also been blocking the ball well (insert sexual reference here). Columbia’s women’s soccer team won their third shutout performance in four games, beating LIU Brooklyn on Sunday. The “W” is also Columbia’s second consecutive home win at home. Senior Beverley […]

Stop by Columbia’s Greenmarket on your way to class for tasty fresh fruit, vegetables, baked goods, and everything else delicious. The Greenmarket is every Thursday and Sunday—enjoy! A brief spate of warm weather will bring in the last of the summer produce, and ripens the produce of fall. Come by the info table to see […]

Send this to all your Georgetown friends—someone has put Capitol Hill up for rent. While the extra cash won’t really help that much with the budget deficit, it’s probably an upgrade from whatever university housing your friends happen to be staying in. What would reporting on the shutdown look like if it happened in another […]

Bwog has received the most…scintillating….tip that the Columbia University Marching Band is shooting an amateur pornography video for submission to the annual HUMP! festival. Characters as diverse as tubas, oboes, and *accordions* may be appropriated as anatomical substitutions for their sick, sick pleasure. If you know what we mean. In response to our frantic inquiries, […]

According to this group, […]

Hello again, legion of Bwog. It is once again safe for me to cease radio silence and let you in on the truth behind the lies. Blue Cheetah here with another hair-rising, tail-twitching, haunch-trembling discovery. My recent intel about Pupin Plaza may have been shocking, but get ready for a true revelation. This time I […]

Bwoggers Elizabeth Self and Lorna Hale, the two halves to Bwog’s Tastebuds, bring you their latest 2Girls1Snack adventure: Sweet Tea. Just drink and forget. Nantucket Nectars “Half & Half,” $1.79 An amusingly alliterative title does not a delicious drink make.
