Jumpin’ Jehosaphats! The overhead lights in the Reference Room have been off all weekend and the room is glowing strangely and kind of beautifully. It is also freezing. A man with a Nike baseball hat sits hunched over his homework, coat and scarf on, rocking back and forth for warmth. Surprise: there still aren’t any seats, […]
The November issue of The Blue and White will be here soon and we’ll be posting all the articles on Bwog. “At Two Swords’ Length” is a feature presenting opposing opinions on an issue. This month, Brian Donahoe and Sam Schube discuss whether you can get away with it. Affirmative I’ve been doing it for […]
It’s the morning after Thanksgiving and you feel fat. Exercise! Diana Clarke sacrificed her knuckles for the sake of Bwog and health. If you take the steps at 108th Street down into Riverside Park and veer south, you’ll follow the stone steps of an amphitheater down to a patch of sand overlooking the Hudson. The […]

He lived to tell the tale—and it wasn’t half bad, either. Thanksgiving is a sad time for us vegetarians. No matter how […]
You know how on Thanksgiving Day, every year there are reruns? Well Bwog can see the greatness in Charlie Brown and so today we’re rerunning some Thanksgiving posts of years past. In case yours is the misfortune/relief to be in Morningside Heights for Thanksgiving, turkey sandwiches abound. Or, should you be hankering for fellowship as […]
An anonymous tree-rights activist posted this flier at Lerner. The daring disputant of all things deciduous forgot one thing though–how pretty naked trees and things look in the snowtime! The squirrel point is well taken. Photo by JYH
The Bloomberg administration has plans for this cool bike-sharing thing, and they think they have a plan to deal with theft and graffiti. Talk about idealistic! (NYT) There was an unusually violent fight at Rikers, and officials won’t say why. Bwog suspects inmates are understandably upset that Weezy is gone. (NBC New York) Other people […]
