Bwog has been compiling tips from far and wide, discovering four fantastic free food opportunities tonight.  If you are hating ResLife for breaking up your pre-Halloween party, go to John Jay Lounge at 9 for a haunted house filled with refreshments and games such as Whack-An-RA.  Next door in Wallach, right now, is an event […]

Everyone Allied Against Homophobia is sponsoring a cupcake-based study break tonight. They have even imported fancy cupcakes from famous downtown bakery Magnolia.  Go to the Stephen Donaldson Lounge (located in the basement of Furnald) at 9 PM tonight for frosting, fun, etc. 

Morningside slows down in the Halloween runup, unless you’re at MoWi or DR (fun!).  Here’s some things you can do before the long weekend. Monday Lunchtime Concerts – Haydn “Sun” Quartets: The Daedalus Quartet, in residence at Columbia, performs this week.  Reviewed by the New York Times last week.  12:30 PM @ Philosophy Lounge.  Also […]

This is just one of the first in what Bwog assumes will be a veritable onslaught of Halloweenish events.  We’ll keep you posted. Bacchanal is hosting an event on the steps today, some sort of crazy Halloween/study break mashup entitled “A Ghoulish Day on the Steps” today from 3:00PM – 7:00PM. The free highlights include: […]

Bwog loves celebrating multi-culturalism almost as much as eating free food.  But really, what Bwog loves best is Thai food, especially pad thai with those little pieces of tofu and crunchy peanuts.  Bwog is not sure why the people at the Columbia Thai Student Association are being so generous this afternoon but it might be […]

For those of you who missed it, we’ll be getting you a full write-up of DSpar’s inauguration in due time. But from now until 6pm, there’s a proper party on Claremont full of food from at least several cultures to celebrate–do her proud! Photo by Liz Naiden. More after the jump!        

Now that midterms are over (for some of us!), penny-savers should be quick to hit up two wonderfully delicious free food events today, which include a joint birthday party for the Office of Multicultural Affairs and the Intercultural Resource Center and a Teahouse with the Asian American Alliance featuring musical guest Alice Hu (and samosas, […]

Gayava (helpfully spelled out as “The Columbia Barnard LGBTQ and Allies! Jewish Student Group”) will be having cupcakes from Magnolia bakery (frankly overrated in Bwog’s opinion), hot apple cider, and… Hookah! Best of all, it’s all out in the open air under a legitimate Sukkah. Head over to the Kraft Center (115th bet. Broadway and […]

It’s a good week for free food.  Counseling and Psychological Services will be hosting a study break tonight from 7:00 PM – 8:30 PM with free pizza and giveaways (which Bwog assumes will also be free).  That’s 112a Hartley, for those of you who don’t visit very often.

The gods of free food have smiled happily upon Columbia University today. More tonight: hot chocolate, whipped cream and candy in the John Jay Lounge at 10 PM, and the Chinese Students Club & AAA are hosting a dumpling-fest in the West Ramp Lounge in Lerner at 11 PM.

  CUCR is holding their annual Columbus Day BBQ on the Van Am Quad until 2 PM, and there’s a “Founders Day” one happening on Lehman Lawn. Bwogger Anish Bramhandkar has immortalized the latter free-food glory in the photo on the right.

There’s a “Welcome Back SEAS”-themed ice cream social/study break happening now in Lerner’s ramp lounge. There are various flavors of ice cream, plus the sprinkles and chocolate sauce you were hoping for. And then outside this thing there is a table with Starbucks coffee, in addition to milk and sugar. It’s not free — the […]

At approximately 7:05 PM, just five minutes after the scheduled start of Barnard’s annual free sub giveaway, the sandwich was completely gone. What lay in its wake were scattered martini glasses filled with beaded necklaces and troupes of inordinately disappointed sub-seekers. “I just got here and all the sandwich is gone!” bemoaned one, to no […]

Barnard’s annual tradition of giving away a free sub the length of the circumference of the Earth or whatever is happening tonight, starting at 7 PM on Lehman Lawn. Check back for details about the sandwich and more coverage of this historic event.

The Center for Student Advising is throwing a free pizza party for the Terrible 12s right now until 2 PM on the Lerner Ramps. We doubt anyone is checking IDs to make sure only 12s are grabbing slices, but if anyone looks at you suspiciously, just mumble something convincing-sounding about your 240,000 point SAT.
