It’s time to bring back our somewhat regular In Defense Of feature, where we uphold the hated, disgusted, and all-around avoided Columbia establishments. This week, food eater Josh Dillon leaves the Ferris omelet line to grab some yogurt and support Uni Café. I don’t consider myself a foodie, food connoisseur, or even healthy. I’m a sophomore with 14 meals/week […]

You’ve seen them around campus, in your friends’ room, in your room, in your bed..? We’re speaking, of course, about your friendly neighborhood mice! Here, Bwog presents five cute li’l critters who are just looking for some love in a lonely world. Hit them up (if you dare). Señor Pancho: Originally my family hails from […]

With the new semester comes a new pair of girls, anonymous and cynical toward the world, to tackle 2girls1snack because Bwog knows you missed this series dearly. In choosing the snack for this edition, the two girls really just were craving dessert and settled on the classic cheesecake. Bwog knows mom and grandma have told […]

Note: The author of this post definitely does not advocate that others eat the same food groups she does. She grew up in an Italian family, eating some sort of pasta six out of seven nights per week, and she has never broken the carb addiction. See your elementary school cafeteria for recommendations on healthy […]

The romantic nights of spending some quality time with your lover, Butler Library, are upon us all with midterms here for some. Bwog ventured into the place itself to see what are the weirdest things you have snuck into Butler to get you through those long study nights. 2nd Floor: My friend took his dog […]

Tomorrow morning is the beginning of sophomore suite selection. Rising sophomores, your housing options will pretty much be Schapiro, Wien, Nussbaum, Broadway, or the most notorious of sophomore dorms, sometimes known as Carman 2.0, occasionally called McBizzzzz, often referred to as a pit/dump/hellhole: McBain. The distant noises of sophomore selection are all singing the same […]

Whether you’re boycotting the meal plan or boycotting Milano, Morningside offers a plethora of  inexpensive dining options to try before you come to the last resort of, you know, actually cooking. Here’s a roundup of some staff favorites– add your tips in the comments! Breakfast: $3.75 for a large coffee and ham, egg, and cheese […]

This Valentine’s Day, Bwog wants you to stop grumbling and be happy.  We enlisted Alexander Pines and Alexandra Svokos to cover both sides of the argument—Alexander has barely been single since he was 14, while Alexandra has avoided relationships since she was 14.  Will you please stop posting Adele gifs, please? Alexander: Sure you like […]

And don’t worry if you don’t get the jokes — we didn’t read Confessions either. Name, Year, School, Major: Augustine a.k.a. Auggie, C ’87,  Ascetic Studies Preference: Lowly mortal seeking passionate divine love […]

Just cause Valentine’s Day has passed doesn’t mean the lovin’ will stop. This lonely philosopher seeks companionship on a day when many people will be thinking about him… Name, Year, School, Major: Immanuel “Manual” Kant (They call me a “hands on” kind of guy) UKönigsberg 1744, Jazz Studies Preference (guy for guy, etc.): Mind for […]

Bwog braved the line yesterday at Trader Joe’s and would like you to be well-informed before you make the harrowing 40-block trek to buy groceries. Because you might get really pissed if, say, you showed up there tomorrow only to find there is no wine. That’s right: unlike its Union Square brother, this Trader Joe’s […]

In which three young gentlemen–NYU correspondent W.M. Akers and temporary Brits John Klopfer and Brendan Ballou–offer their tales of Thanksgiving out of sorts. Isolation within the 116th St. gates may be hard to take, but think of the NYU students. Not all are able to leave the city during Thanksgiving and Winter break, and although […]

It’s been awhile since the last installment of the cart tour, partly because of rumors that any chicken and rice in our immediate locality would be rendered irrelevant by the arrival of Sammy’s Halal, the 2006 Vendy award winner that was reported to be moving in to 111th? street, and then mysteriously disappeared. Now, the […]

Bwog doesn’t have the cash to “pimp your room,” and we certainly don’t want to raid it and then date you. So we bring you our semi-weekly feature, the “Cribs-esque” Room Hopping, continuing with… You can graduate without walking into some places on campus even once. For most CU students, the Bayit is one of […]

Not again! Here comes the third of five installments of Bwog correspondent Addison Anderson’s travels to the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory in Palisades, New York. In this segment: poignancy, “cooking with gas,” the earth’s most important room, plate tectonics, and a healthily collaborative working environment! As we head to the Core Lab, Brusa picks up two […]
