Just kidding! This is a lecturehop, but it did involve mountains of Mario’s creations. Bwog’s favorite foodie, Brian Donahoe, was there. Thursday evening, Bwog passed through the ever-enticing yet forbidding door of Casa Italiana, and after making it past security and up an imposing marble staircase took a seat in the Italian Academy’s fabled ballroom […]

That throbbing noise you hear outside is the sound of Columbia students coming together for a rare moment of honest-to-goodness community.

Bwog’s Wednesday Daily Editor, Jed Bush, headed to Lerner Black Box last night to witness the biggest deal ever–Columbia does Hamlet. I’ve never been a particularly big fan of Shakespeare—my exposure in high school was mostly limited to second period English, where I used our class readings of As You Like It, Twelfth Night and […]

While this isn’t the first time we’ve encountered self-aware posters, we admittedly got a bit gushy after seeing this one. Spotted in Lerner, this bearer of good news seems eager to please. And judging by the looks of it, at least a couple people seem willing to take up the offer.

Dark pink with a black cover and black earbuds. Lost in either Kent or Dodge Hall on 10/27. Large reward if found. Contact: ael2139@columbia.edu.

Clubbin’ profiles some of the more unusual and eclectic student clubs around, from Brazilian Jiu Jitsu to the Equestrian Club. This time we send Raph Debenedetti and Alison Herman, our noobiest of noobs when it comes to gaming, to battle beside and learn about the StarCraft Club. When you think of StarCraft, the enormously popular […]

In the past, we’ve covered the whole spectrum of cooking all the way from the cooking essentials to Morningside’s exquisite dishes. This week, we challenged our fearless chef Matt Powell to enter where maintenance seldom ventures—the dorm kitchen. Contributor Marcus Levine offered to descend with him to the lowest depths of foodie hell. Matt recounts […]

With the latest round of midterms (hopefully) coming to an end, it’s finally time to brood over your professor’s office for that recommendation letter she promised weeks ago. We’ve got two different kinds of office hours for you starting next week. First, Deantini will be hosting an informal meet-and-greet on Wednesday from 5:30-7:30 pm in […]

Interested in running for mayor? Have a record? Christine Quinn, Bill de Blasio and Scott Stringer are among the prospective candidates touting their arrest records for civil disobedience. Even former mastermind Bill Clinton knows it’s not always “a question of did he inhale or not” (NYT) To solve the city’s growing litter problem, the MTA […]

it has a grooved wooden handle and a longish metal point at the end, and is dark blue and dark red (each little bit of fabric alternates, blue then red then blue, etcetera). I can be contacted at bdr2121@columbia.edu.

But, seriously, just kidding. A newcomer on the bustling Columbia start-up event planning scene, Spicy Special Crew, shot this video to advertise their free dance parties. They hosted their first rager last week and we heard it was a blast and half. Festivities continue this Saturday at Deluxe. A Halloween party with lasers, strobe lights, […]

Last night we received the following tip from a concerned student: Today, a friend and I (both Barnard students), were strolling in Morningside Park at 6h00pm. We heard three shots fired. It was followed by a bunch of guys yelling and we saw a group of guys run away. We weren’t in the exact vicinity […]
