Last night, Culture Editor Tony Gong went to CCSC’s massive multicultural event “Passport to Columbia,” and returned a little more appreciative of diverse foods, arts, and Columbia, the nation. His account of the night follows. Some people (naysayers and cynics, mainly) don’t think you need a passport to go to Columbia. “Columbia is a university, […]

It’s the coldest Friday of the year so far, but nothing warms you up like good free (or almost free) food. Here’s some options. The College Democrats are hosting their rescheduled BBQ on the Van Am Quad from 5 – 8. It does cost $2, but then it’s all-you-can-eat. If you can wait an hour […]

Bwog’s been tipped off to a free food opportunity of sorts, happening now in the James Room on the 4th floor of Barnard Hall. Cuisine is unknown, but if you go and discover what specific treats the EcoReps are offering, let us know. 

In front of the Lerner piano lounge is a well-stocked churro bar (with guacamole, sour cream, salsa, chips and the like), courtesy of Live at Lerner. It is a delight.  There’s also a cooler with complimentary Arnold Palmer — that’s half lemonade, half iced tea.

First-year correspondent Jason Kruta went to the Lower East Side yesterday to check out the 8th Annual International Pickle Day.  The New York Food Museum sponsored the Eight Annual NYC International Pickle Day bonanza in the Lower East Side. Pickles of every shape, size and type abounded, from your run of the mill Kosher Dill […]

Like the candidates’ commitment to service, Bwog’s commitment to free food never wavers. Here are just some of the events this evening for you to fill your stomachs at: Last night’s Jumbotron extravaganza not enough for you? The College Dems are having a “debriefing” barbecue from 5-8 in front of Hartley and Wallach. If you like to […]

A tipster reported that right now at the Barnard’s Activities Fair, amidst clubs and I HEART BC shirts galore, cotton candy is being given out to strong, beautiful women (and probably strong, hungry men.)  It only lasts until 3pm, so hurry up and get your spun-sugar treats.

You’ll recall Bwog reporting last week that Business School Alum and self-proclaimed “anti-feminist” Roy Hollander was suing Columbia for offering women’s studies courses. Apparently, these courses are discriminatory against men. Now, according to Bwog tipster Stephanie Quan, some Columbia women are interested in hearing his views. More specifically, the group Women in Science at Columbia […]

This morning, the rest of 2012 has arrived on campus to be greeted by happy NSOP leaders and their first Columbia challenge: move-in lines. Reports from campus indicate that the lines are manageable, though. Free food mavens, be aware: the family lunch is starting right about now, allowing you to test the efficacy of NSOP […]

A quick look at the calendar has reminded us that today is 7/11, a date identical to the name of wonderful convenience store 7 Eleven. In honor of this extraordinary annual coincidence, 7 Eleven is giving away free 11 oz. Slurpees, all day, to you. The easiest 7 Eleven to get to is probably on […]

Today is a momentous one in terms of free food: some stars somewhere are aligned marking this rarest of occasion when two dining establishments are simultaneously offering free products. First, McDonalds will be serving, until 7 PM, free chicken biscuit sandwiches (fine print: the sandwiches are only free with the purchase of a medium or […]

Things are looking up! The treachery of finals week is drawing to a close—despite some Butler settlements indicating the contrary. Plus, tipster Keith Leung just emailed to let us know that Haagen Dasz is giving away free scoops of their new ice-cream flavor (Vanilla Honey Bee) from now until 8 PM. Leung has also assuaged […]

Learned Foote tells Bwog that there’s free Koronet slices and hot wings in John Jay lounge, for exam-takers and slackers alike. The handouts start at 4:30, courtesy of CCSC. We’re told there’s soda. (This event was originally scheduled for the EC plaza, but has since relocated.) Go forth and devour!

Bwog contributor Alex Weinberg just frantically passed along the following tip: “There is a huge amount of ice cream in the Wallach Lounge and they are begging people to come eat it or steal it. I walked away with a box of ice cream sandwiches. TIME IS TICKING” And for those of you who foolishly […]

Barnard is celebrating Cinco de Mayo with a traditional free-pancake offering at 10 PM tonight in 406 Barnard Hall. Perhaps it’s a taste (pun) of what’s in store for this year’s Midnight Breakfast.  Yesterday, readers were apparently disappointed with the quality of CCSC’s light-blue cookies cupcakes. “Tiny and stale,” you cried in comments of rage.
