Bwoglines: Taking Some Time

By Bwog Staff on Nov 09, 2009 2 Comments

Take some time to look at this new Calvin Klein ad in SoHo and think, does it offend you? (Gothamist) Take some time to read today’s New York Post (founded by King’s College’s own Alexander Hamilton!) …That is, while you can, given its current rate of circulation decrease. (NYT) Firefighters took a little too much […]

Tobacco Survey Meets Tech Delays

By Bwog Staff on Nov 08, 2009 11 Comments

Hey, remember that proposed smoking ban? The survey for that ban was originally supposed to be e-mailed to a random sampling of students on Nov. 4, but as you probably have realized by now, nobody’s received it yet. Turns out, it’s a communication thing. CCSC VP for Policy Sarah Weiss tells Bwog the council can’t […]

In Defense of… Famous Famiglia’s

By Bwog Staff on Nov 08, 2009 22 Comments

Its across-Broadway cousin may get all the attention, but Famiglia’s has its defenders. Local Cheese-and-Tomatoes Correspondent Liz Naiden makes the case. Famous Famiglia’s is in a tough spot – pitiable, really. Across the street, Koronet’s catches the drunk and the indiscriminate, while other nearby restaurants often snag the sober remainders with slices that are a […]

Bwoglines: Go Ahead, Use Your Card

By Bwog Staff on Nov 08, 2009 1 Comments

A few Upper East Side restaurants–including one called One Fish Two Fish (really?!)–refuse to make deliveries 15 blocks north in East Harlem. (New York Post) Though they complain when you whip out your debit card, cab drivers are actually growing to love the pay-by-card system. (New York Times) Sweet justice! A man accused of plagiarizing […]

Yeah, About That Football Season…

By Bwog Staff on Nov 07, 2009 5 Comments

Another game, another long list of turnovers: Three fumbles and three interceptions, several at crucial times, doomed the Lions to another Ivy league loss, 34-14 to Harvard. The Crimson (now 5-0 in Ivy play) sprinted out to a 21-0 lead in the first quarter, but not without help: first, Columbia (1-4 Ivy, 2-6 overall) fumbled […]

By Bwog Staff on Nov 07, 2009 19 Comments

Tired as the “poor college student” cliché may be, it’s based on some unfortunate reality.

Netflix: “Left-wing, Communist, Jewish, Homosexual Pornographers” Edition

By Bwog Staff on Nov 07, 2009 5 Comments

Mark Hay may not be a native New Yorker, but he’s taking steps in the right direction. Bloomberg wins New York. Sometimes it is hard to understand the city we live in. But certainly the last week, the introspection brought about by Bloomberg’s hegemony and victory, has given me the time to realize that, torn […]

“Family and Other Strangers” Proves Strange, Intriguing

By Bwog Staff on Nov 07, 2009 2 Comments

Bwog’s very own stand-up comedian theater connoisseur Dane Cook reports from the premier. This weekend’s production of Family and Other Strangers, put on by King’s Crown Shakespeare Troupe, defers from the Bard for a moment to showcase the writing of Edward Albee. Pairing two of Albee’s earliest one-act plays, the show is a satirical ride […]

Bwoglines: It’s All About the Trade-offs

By Bwog Staff on Nov 07, 2009 0 Comments

Columbia students get luxury housing– a borough away. Grad students, that is. (NYT) Miller moves to the SoA, takes the Arts Initiative with it. Some are outraged, some aren’t. (Spec) Cue Lit Hum nostalgia (does that exist?) – Jane Austen would have been the coolest aunt ever. (NYT) New York wants to be like Paris; […]

By Bwog Staff on Nov 06, 2009 3 Comments

Looking for a new window onto our urban culture, Bwog’s Lexicography Bureau Chief Hannah Goldstein found herself yesterday in the Maison Française, where she was promptly encouraged to read the dictionary. As it turns out, that was a great idea. Christian Topalov is a man of many words – three hundred of them, to be […]
