This past Sunday, Morningside Heights residents and their furry companions packed the sanctuary of the Cathedral of St. John the Divine to celebrate the Feast of St. Francis, better known as the only day of the year you’ll find llamas, yaks, and snakes integrated into a church service. The animals were present for the Blessing […]
This Saturday, Bwog embarked on an adventure through New York’s most exciting jungle, Central Park. And we didn’t just look at the foliage—we ate it! Bwog participated in an urban foraging tour led by famed naturalist “Wildman” Steve Brill. Bottom line is, if you enter “wildman” into Google, his name comes up first. Update: Watch […]
Forget that it feels like the coldest day so far this semester. At least one Columbian is still in a summer state of mind. Bwog spotted what appears to be either a very lost motorist or a very extreme amount of wishful thinking on 114th.
Sports Sunday returns for another edition of athletic journalism. This week featured a number of Ivy League match-ups. A choice stat from the week: all the home teams won, while CU’s away teams all lost at least one of their road games. Home court advantage… Could it be? Women’s Soccer (4-5): Latest Result: Lions hold […]

The NYPD responded quickly, blockading both sides and making nearly 400700 arrests, out of a total 1500 marchers. Paddy wagons as […]
If you are as impatient as the rest of us when waiting in line for anything, hopefully this week’s edition of Boringside Heights will make things move a bit more quickly.

For all those tired out from today’s SlutWalk events, head over for to Stephen Donaldson Lounge in Furnald Basement (yeah, we didn’t know it was called that either) from 4 to 6 pm for dinner and discussion with the Columbia Women’s Organization. They promise free food from Indian Café, as well as free knapsacks, water […]
Roomhopping returns with Disney dorm decor. Bwog’s Sam Schipani takes a trip back in time… Beulah Sims-Agbabiaka, CC ’15, is loading a Princess Tiana doll into a care package for her sister while watching Princess and the Frog on her personal TV. “It’s comforting,” Beulah explains. “I watch it about once every two weeks.” Even though […]
