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. […]

Tonight at 10 PM in the Lerner Piano lounge is the last ever CCSC-sponsored I am Light Blue event. Like most I am Light Blue events, meta t-shirts and blue-hued frosted goods (by way of Kitchenette) will be plentiful.  In an email to Bwog, a good-natured, V-Show appreciating President Diamond explained, “Also we will have […]

All fans of alliteration will enjoy the Postcrypt Coffeehouse Folk Festival going on right now in Kent Lawn despite the fact that their tent is somewhat obfuscated by bleachers going up by Fair Alma.  In addition to the music, the festival is home to glorious, freshly-made popcorn and thirst-quenching beverage. Acts for the rest of […]

As anyone who has stepped outside in the past hour might have noticed, there are swarms of over-studied, over-worked kids piling out of Butler and Lerner who are descending en masse on the Candyland BBQ. Lines stretch around the quad, with students at the beginning of the line providing Bwog with estimated wait times ranging […]

A tipster alumnus/ice cream enthusiast brings the following to Bwog’s attention: In honor of the ice cream chain’s 30th birthday, today is free cone day at Ben & Jerry’s. Luckily, Columbia is only ten or so blocks away for one of four Ben & Jerry’s Manhattan locations. 

Tipster Lucy Sun brings Bwog’s attention to a clever Facebook group created by Rosalyn Shih. As the group explains, Broadway Presbyterian gives out a free lunch to the homeless, and could use donations of milk, juice, and food. A great place to throw your extra dollars, which would no doubt go to waste? Sounds good […]

The sun has drained you, but in an hour Columbia Men Against Violence will restore you with pizza. And some dubious coffee-flavored energy beverage which the kids (men) call Slap. Bwog is befuddled by why men against violence are advocating slapping, but may hit the Lerner Piano Lounge at 8PM nonetheless.

Tipster Faith Chang informs Bwog of free lasagnas—both of the meat and vegetarian varieties—are currently up for grabs in the Lerner lobby courtesy of Blue Key Society.  BONUS: There’s also free Famiglia in the EC lobby. Supposedly it’s only for seniors, but we didn’t have trouble snagging a slice.  

Tipster Rebecca Salley informs Bwog of the various (free) food activity on College Walk today: 1. The South East Asian League is sponsoring a free fried-rice and shaved-ice give-away. “There arent many people out there right now so I kind of felt like I was crashing a party, but it’s all up for grabs,” she […]

Possibly in response to the recent “Kick Coke off Campus” event, the Coca-Cola corporation has pulled up an old-school truck to Broadway Between 115th and 116th, and is playing lively music (Rakim at one point) and giving away vintage 8.5-ounce glass bottles (the rep says it’s the 1901 design) of their main product.  Find your […]

Happening right now: CCSC’s Do it in the Dark! Energy Challenge is providing free pizzas in the Carman lounge. Though the pies are technically reserved for residents of Woodbridge, Carman and Hartley—the winners of the energy conservation challenge—President Diamond informs Bwog that CCSC will “not turn anyone who’s hungry away.” Diamond also boasts of “those […]
