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.

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!

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.
