If you can brave the cold weather long enough to make it to Lerner, then you’re in luck! Chabad is giving out free chicken soup right now.

Dean Peña-Mora & the Class Councils of 2013 and 2014 invite you to Carnaval, “a festive event” promising Caribbean food, music and dancing! Expect free food from Korilla BBQ & Empanada Mama, and appearances by Tropical Beats Steel Drum Band and Sabor Dance Troupe. Register here for a rollicking good time. 6-8 pm in Roone. Be […]

I saw the best minds of my generation at the Bwog meeting, starving, eating free birthday cake, dragging themselves out of the butler stacks around 6 looking for the Bwog meeting, at 7 PM in the SGO on the 5th floor of Lerner Bwog may not be able to promise an ancient heavenly connection to the starry dynamo […]

More free food! The Middle Eastern Cultural Appreciation House (MECAH) is hosting a recruiting event for those interested in joining the house next year. Lots of free middle eastern desserts and tea will be served! 5pm in the first two suites on the first floor of Claremont.

Today, Columbia’s Application Development Initiative (ADI) launches DevFest, a week-long technology/business development experience. The group plans to host a series of lectures and workshops, with guest speakers like Matt LeMay of bit.ly fame and Anoop Ranganath, the lead iPhone developer at Foursquare. Fred Wilson from Union Square Ventures will be present at the culminating “Demofest.” As Bwog […]

If you’re not already too full and exhausted from all the Joe cupping, hot chocolate, challah braiding, and whipped cream tossing, then brace yourself for late night snacks! Between 11 pm and 1 am tonight, the Lerner Party Space will host a Columbia kickoff for the 2011 Relay For Life. So walk, jog, or stumble […]

Try your hand at whipped cream tossing, tonight at 8 pm in the first floor McBain lounge. We can only hope that what happens in McBain stays in McBain, and with colossal self-control, we will now end this post. Plus: To pre- and postgame all that tossing of whipped cream, head to the third floor […]

The Columbia location of Joe will be having a free “cupping” event today at 3 pm. After turning on our Safe Search settings, Bwog learned that a “cupping” is what coffee aficionados call a tasting event.  So head over to the Northwest Corner building (everyone hates its name!) this afternoon for good coffee and bad […]

Bwog just received word that there is (good!) free food at CCE right this minute, so go swoop in like vultures!  Email below: Due to a canceled event tonight in Low, there is now a ton of food available for the taking at CCE. Stop on by East Campus for some delicious food! Liz King Assistant […]

You are invited to watch the State of the Union Address with CPU, the “only non-partisan group on campus,” and eat their free pizza. From them: Loud cheers, snarky comments, and polite applause are all welcome. Stop by tonight from 9:00 p.m. to 10:30 p.m at the Lerner Piano Lounge.

Free miracle berries and an array of sour things to miraculously transform them, from 3 to 4:30 in three locations: Broadway Lobby, McBain First Floor Lounge, Ruggles Basement. Flavor tripping courtesy of Residential Programs.

Head over to the Lerner ramps for soft-baked snickerdoodles, courtesy of the good people at Nightline. Bonus: they’re giving out pens. But not just any pens. As picky pen users, we decree these ones glide exceptionally well. This is the kind of pen that your friend would lend  you and then you’d “accidentally” keep. Nightline […]

Bwog subscribes to the belief that no one should have to pay for food at college. Go stick it to the man at tonight’s first free food event of the semester! Hillel promises free fondue and other snacks on the third floor of the Kraft Center (606 W. 115th, across from Schapiro). It starts at 9pm […]

Hidden behind this mass of hustlin’ and bustlin’ New Yorkers on 112th and Broadway is a man giving away free flavored beverages. Points to whoever can guess what they are!

SoBe, that lizard-themed cousin of Vitamin Water, is handing out free bottles (none of that sample size bullshit!) on Broadway between 113th and 114th. Bwog picked up a “lean and mean” apple cranberry elixir packing a whopping 5 calories. Update, 6:28 p.m.: A commenter observes there is no more juice blend. SoBe it.
