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.  

Whether you plan on going to the Big Game or not, Bwog recommends taking advantage of the pre-homecoming breakfast taking place in the EC 2nd floor lounge this morning at 11:00.    It’s free! School spirit not required.

If you’ve been on campus today, you may have seen groups of parents wandering around. Then you’ve realized that these groups of parents are particularly large, and that not all of them have kids with them. Plus, it’s a chilly weekend to be taking college tours, so what gives? Yes, it’s that long-forgotten first-year ritual […]

The cotton candy line is long out here on South Lawn, but CUMB is here with their inflatable penis, there’s a bigger inflatable thing that you can actually bounce around in–and the music’s just getting rolling (now featuring Bwog’s own Tony Gong!). Swing by CCSC’s Homecoming Carnival on your way to whatever.

Oh hooray, it’s time for a Homemade Ice Cream Sandwich Study Break, courtesy of Students For Substance Free Space. It’s happening now until 8 PM in the first floor suite of McBain. There will also be free t-shirts, in case you stain the one you were wearing with a delicious homemade ice cream sandwich.

RUN! Stir fry and rice at the Lerner security desk! Hurry before it absorbs too much Lerner air.  Quell those  drunk munchies before they start!

Haven’t seen this one before: Chabad is luring passersby with challah dough, which you can mix with raisins, cinnamon, and chocolate chips to bring home and bake for midafternoon deliciousness. The challah-pushers seemed a little crestfallen to hear that Bwog wasn’t actually Jewish, but we feel sure that Gentiles wouldn’t be turned away. Meanwhile, the […]

Bwog is receiving reports of free food and yoga today at noon in the Broadway Room of Lerner. Limber and fatten yourself up — all conveniently in one place!

Ever made your way over to Lerner’s iconic ramps for a midday break only to be inundated, upon arrival, by the wafting of piano scales?  Bwog has also encountered those mysterious etudes on a number of occasions, but today we were in for quite the surprise.  While taking time away from surveying the cracks and […]

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 […]
