Sure, this post could be avoided in its entirety if Newsletter Editor Eva Sher had the patience to wait in line for an omelette a.k.a. the superior version of eggs. But she doesn’t. The scrambled eggs are already done, and it is a miracle that she went to the dining hall in the first place. Let […]

The former Greek cafe Artopolis, located between 113th and 114th street and Amsterdam, has become a Columbia staple famous through brunch foods like crepes, pastries, and omelets. However, the restaurant recently reopened under a new name, “The New York Basics,” and boasts a new menu. Additions include quick grab-and-go options like scones, muffins, donuts, chips, espresso […]

In Social Media Editor Idris O’Neill’s utopia, Barnard’s dining points and Columbia’s dining dollars would be equal and Joe Coffee would accept said forms of currency. We’ll settle for finding a dining dollars daddy for now. Imagine: you’ve been in Butler for six hours (and yes, we know it’s the beginning of the semester) and […]

Senior Staff Writer Levi Cohen on the agony and the ecstasy of the start of the semester.

It’s that time of year again—time to trip on all the flyers clubs are shoving under your door in the hope that you’ll join them. The good news is that things could be a lot worse! 

With notes collected from Eric Klinenberg’s November talk at the Heyman Center for the Humanities, Staff Writer Andrew Wang argues that libraries—specifically public libraries—are worth our consideration. 

Zӧe Sottile is Bwog’s internal editor and also a full-sized human woman! At this point, she is considering asking for recommendations from Tinder matches.

Staff Writer and Soil Enthusiast Henry Golub makes the case for converting Avery into a farm. Join the adventure of growth and shrubbery. Before the car, we had the horse, and before the building, we had the farm. Get ready, folks, ’cause we’re about to go full Bronze Age. Many of us have seen Avery. Some […]

Disclaimer: The MCAT is probably useful for identifying qualified medical school matriculants. In the grand scheme of things, the 2015 MCAT change was probably for the better. Now for my rant… In a happier past, Amigos and Cannons were Morningside Heights fixtures. The US government was paying its employees. And the MCAT (Medical College Admission […]

Over the holidays, Bwog brought you a Christmas playlist to soften the blow of finals while celebrating the ~festive~ atmosphere. However, post-New Year’s, winter is a whole other monster. And it’s really cold. So we made you a playlist for now too:

Everyone has a “terrible roommate” horror story, which is valid because the tragedy of the commons exists and people are terrible. But that doesn’t mean we should forget the other valiant soldiers: the good roommates who make the hellscape that is communal living downright enjoyable. Today, several Bwoggers salute their roommates, who go above and beyond […]

Big news from Bwog today regarding 2020. Guy-who’s-in-charge-of-snacks-for-the-campaign-office Zack Abrams brings you the announcement. 

Columbia’s indie rock claim to fame, Vampire Weekend, has finally come out of hiding to release new music. Two new songs are to be released on Thursday, one titled “2021,” and more importantly, “Harmony Hall,” presumably named after, you guessed it, the Columbia residence hall. Vampire Weekend is no stranger to making Columbia references in their music; the […]

It’s so fucking cold. Polar winds blast down Manhattan’s avenues. Dogs are reduced to wearing tiny, adorable little baby shoe things if they wish to set foot on the frigid pavement. Those from warmer climes throw on layer after layer to no avail, still finding themselves shivering and their extremities numbed. Perhaps Mother Nature decided it […]

Columbia finals ended over two weeks ago (18 days ago to be exact), but many of us still don’t have our final grades. Despite New Years signaling a new start, the past still has still haunted us through its sporadic – and often lacking – SSOL grade inputs. Though we are spending our breaks constantly refreshing our emails to […]
