By Bwog Staff on Sep 08, 2010 4 Comments

Dear Bwog: Cruisin’ for a Crew Edition

By Bwog Staff on Sep 08, 2010 8 Comments

By Bwog Staff on Sep 07, 2010 3 Comments

B-School party outside Schermerhorn! Empanadas, asparagus in filo, tons of alcohol, fancy waiters, lots of ambition. There are legitimate ropes and officious B-school employees telling you not to eat the food. So just walk around those officious employees and take the food.
