Inspired in part by Meatless Mondays, the folks over at NOM^3 have started a lunch subscription program called NOMdays. Now you can pay in advance for a tasty meal to be picked up on the Lerner ramps at lunchtime Monday. While pretty snazzy, this program is not the end of bold new projects for NOM^3—they still […]

Take a break from your Facebook study break and go check out the Chinese Students Club’s Night Market 2010: CU EXPO on Low Plaza. There will be much food (possibly even free, if you pull the right strings), performances, and fun to be had. In this time of seemingly unending midterms despair, this is a […]

Honest Tea is out in front of the 116th Street gates. Take a bottle, and pay a dollar in the box, but you’re on the honor system–nobody is watching! Update: In other food news, it is half-off day at Haagen Dazs! Photo by David Hu

We called it Cooking With Bwog 2.0 last year, but you get the idea now. Delicious weekly recipes from Matt Powell of the Culinary Society, using lots of ingredients you can pick up at the Greenmarket. Look out for much more Bwog foodie stuff in the next few weeks. This week: lamb kabobs and palmiers. […]

There are few things worse than mustering up the courage to spend a Saturday evening downtown, only to be punished by the shockingly slow arrival of the 1 train. As if the shiny new 96th Street station wasn’t enough to placate us (it isn’t!), enter Two Boots! The delicious NY (and Connecticut and LA?) pizza […]

Bwog is a chef. We are Jean-Georges. We are Wilma. We are Bwog. What is us? What is reality? Here is what you should eat from every dining hall on campus today. Do what we tell you to do or else we will stop using the imperative and/or stop using the Bwog-third-person all the time. […]

We’ve done this cooking thing before, but we thought we’d, uh, kick it up a notch. Bwog obviously loves to eat, but there are others on campus with more refined palates. We turned to Matt Powell, a member of Columbia University Culinary Society, to guide us through gastronomy. Welcome to the return of Cooking with […]

A visitor to the Livin’n’Learnin’ Center noticed something odd about a new poster welcoming students to Wallach 5. The floor’s new poster is ostensibly intended to help residents get to know New York by introducing them to all tha Big Applez‘ ethnic enclaves. You know, like the Upper West Side. The poster highlights neighborhoods across […]

It’s safe to say that Morningside Heights is the culinary center of America. Hey, JK! Since the Pinnacle Incident made everyone debate the merits of Cracker Barrel, Bwog is here to quell your foodie nerves: there are new options! The Morningside food openings, renovations, and gossip: The vacant storefront formerly known as Empanada Joe’s has […]

Living in the city that never sleeps is no good without late night establishments. In this series, we’ll be trolling the wide variety of hangouts (both alcoholic and not) where Columbia students make their worst decisions, looking to capture what makes Columbia nightlife so different. In the first installment, Blue and White Senior Editor Eliza […]

 Real fish.  Or is it? Recently, members of Columbia’s staunch vegan community have accused John Jay of mislabeling non-vegan food with the “VN” stamp.  Specifically, students have reported suspicions that the vegan-labeled eggplant parmesan and the turkey burger plates just plain can’t be. Vicki Dunn, Director of Columbia Dining Services, responded immediately to pacify students.  […]

Bwog Official Omnivore Julia Mix Barrington skipped out of a “riveting lab session” hoping to catch a glimpse of Michael Pollan’s bald head. When she actually got to hear him speak, she was so happy she sent in this report. Warning: this Lecture Hop includes incinerated woodchuck. I joined middle-aged Upper West Side intellectuals, American […]

Patrons of Avery Cafe are now being treated to a striking new cup-holder featuring Dirty Dancing star Patrick Swayze. The holders are advertising Swayze’s new cop show The Beast. Reports say the new holders were selected because they are cheaper. Bwog has decided that the cafe staff is just indulging their love for Ghost.

Many of you have notified us (and Spec reported earlier) that Swish has suddenly closed, though only temporarily. Some speculated it might be for health code violations, while others chalked it up to a changing look. Bwog tipster Zack Sheppard suggests it may be closer to the latter, and the changes will be culinary as […]
