In case you haven’t checked your Cubmail (or still need to forward it), Housing Services has a new system in place. You’ve got to register if you’re planning on staying around for any part of the December 23, 2010 to January 12th, 2011 (!) window. It does not cost any (more) money, just time. Log […]

A beautiful butterfly is emerging from its cocoon before our eyes! The not-so-cleverly-conceived and evidently donor-deficient Northwest Corner Building’s entryway can now be seen behind a white picket fence stretching across the plaza—look, it’s suburbia! In the city! Photos by CCS

Nhon Ma CC ’04 has a startup, Tenka! Basically, it’s an app (that’s not really an app) for your phone which lets you get free stuff and sweet deals. Tenka and Korilla—also alumna-owned—have teamed up to give us three free tacos! This deal (steal?) lasts ten days, and is limited. Just as on previous days, […]

One of the greatest perks of an Ivy League education–right in NYC, no less–is having all sorts of guest lecturers and talks hosted right on campus.

I found a ladies’ Fossil watch on 114th and bway. Happy to return it if someone can properly describe/identify it.

The Heyman Center for the Humanities, a.k.a. the academic building oddly juxtaposed with the hedonistic wasteland of East Campus, hosts a great series of lectures throughout the year on subjects from a broad array of humanities fields. So whether you’re into Reconstruction or reification, you just might find something that suits your fancy. The Center’s schedule of […]

Alma Mater was spotted protesting Facilities’ proclamation of winter’s arrival last night.

The Street Sweets truck is on 115th and Broadway, outside the Lerner gates (for the second Tuesday in a row!). Om nom!

Here are our final contestants! We’ll be choosing a winner in the next day or two; help us out (without being a dick!) in the comments.

It hasn’t always been easy for Pinnacle. Today, Pinnacle’s legacy begins a new chapter: not really being Pinnacle. Shane Ferro checked in with some Pinnacle employees who told him that construction is starting this week and will take place this week and continue over winter break. The Space Formerly Known As Pinnacle is now under […]

45 degrees out, no signs of heat in most dorms, and the Christmas lights are going up.

Jason Bell reviews Buca, a new Italian restaurant on 103rd and Broadway. In Sebastiano Cappitta’s growing empire of Italian restaurants, Buca (201 West 103rd St.) colonizes an Amsterdam Avenue corner just beyond easy reach of Columbia students.
