It’s the inaugural free food post! On this sweltering day, the good people at Hillel invite you to beat the heat, and join them for slushies in the gorgeous Kraft Center on 115th St. between Broadway and Riverside from 1-3pm. Free food neophytes, you can almost survive a whole week at Columbia never paying for […]

The triumphant shouts of eager RA’s echoed around the quad. The sun shined blissfully and the skies were clear. Today was move-in day made in heaven. Irene left hundreds of cancelled flights, blocked roads, and disrupted trips in her wake, so only some freshpeople made it to move-in. The NSOP committee expects the stragglers arrive […]

This is the line outside Häagen-Dazs, as seen from McBain by tipster Maricela Gonzalez. They are giving away free scoops until 8. If you join now maybe you can get some before they close!

Just because finals start tomorrow in earnest doesn’t mean you can’t have fun tonight! At midnight in 209, CUMB hosts Orgo Night. There will be music, shouting, school spirit, and Barnard jokes. Speaking of the ladies across Broadway, tonight is another Midnight Breakfast. There will be barrels of free food. Barnard seniors may start munching […]

Columbia Libraries are providing you with some hearty snacks from 10 to midnight in Butler Café. Their blog post proclaims “Starbucks Coffee & Bagels” But we know what you’re thinking: where are they sourcing these bagels? BlueJava (wherever that is)? Absolute? Nussbaum? Acme? Were they baked more than two hours ago? In this crazy town, […]

Free food always makes things better! Be sure to go to the Lerner Ramps from 3 to 5pm for free ice cream from ΛΦΕ. They promise “FREE MONSTER” as well, and we’re hoping they mean the energy drink. Also on the Ramps til 4pm today are Students For Education Reform, promising free food too… double […]

Columbia College sophomores, think of the hours you’ve spent teasing out subtitles of Nietzsche’s will to power and Freud’s Oedipal complex. Now think about fried chicken. Yeah, we don’t really get the connection either, but, in a daring thematic maneuver, your class reps will be offering free KFC fried chicken, buiscuits and Mac ‘n’ Cheese, CC study guides, and […]

What’s that? “There’s no better way to spend a stressful pre-exam-week Sunday than with a block party,” you say? You’re in luck. Chicano Caucus and Grupo Quisqueyano will be holding a Latino Block Party on Lehman Lawn from 2 to 7 pm. There will be free food and performances all day–featuring Mariachi performers, Ballet Folklorico […]

Well, the illustrious Dr. Mark Solms hath returned! Scurry over to Satow Room at noon to nosh on free bagels and drinks while Dr. Solms presents a case of Korsakoff’s syndrome, also known as confabulatory amnesia. Bwog doesn’t really know what either of these […]

Snoop Dogg has said, “When I’m not longer rappin’, I want to open up an ice cream parlor and call myself Scoop Dogg.” But CCSC isn’t willing to wait that long. Instead, they’re out on Vam Am Quad right now until 8 pm, handing out free ice cream, funnel cake, and the last of the […]

ESC invites the mathematically-inclined folk to enjoy some free food from 11:30 am til’ 2 pm today in Lerner Piano Lounge (no word on whether or not it’s strictly SEAS-only). The event, a celebration of SEAS-pride, boasts Mel’s Burgers, cupcakes, T-Shirts, and water bottles. And probably also a handful of R.I.P. Gateway jokes.     […]

McAC will be serving up free sno cones on Lehman Walk from 4-6 pm! If it rains, the event will be moved to the Diana. That’s kind of funny, because if it rains then there is no point to sno cones! Fruit punch via Wikimedia Commons
