Bwog’s stellar journalists have recently tracked down the missing JJ’s Milkshake Machine after its tragic disappearance.  The Machine requests that the location of its discovery be kept confidential. Little is known about the Machine, apart from its gritty, beat-up appearance and thick, almost incomprehensible Jersey accent. The Machine’s pronouns are he/they.  Below is a transcript […]

Location: 511 W. 114th Street, New York, NY 10027 […]

Hide yo burgers, hide yo fries, ‘cuz they’re inspectin’ everybody out here. Bwog has received multiple reports that New York health inspectors showed up at JJ’s Place today, apparently unannounced (much like a bed intruder). Looks like JJ’s might become BFFs with Absolute Bagel and m2m. According to one tipster: Tonight in JJs around 6:45PM […]

Today a tipster spotted this (bizarre? provocative? exciting?) image on the stairs leading to JJ’s place and was kind enough to share it with us. Naturally, the picture has inspired some questions: Where did it come from? Where is it going? Why JJ’s? What does it all mean? Bwog doesn’t have these answers, but a […]

Last semester, Bwog heard that JJ’s place was getting a face-lift. Last night was the big reveal, so we paid a visit to John Jay’s cozy (read: sweltering) basement kitchen for a taste of the new JJ’s.

Bwog heard rumors that Dining was revamping JJ’s Place for fall 2012, so we contacted Victoria Dunn, Executive Director of Columbia Dining. Details, below. Menu Changes According to Vicki, “the idea with the menu revamp is to keep the JJ’s favorites, but introduce a new line of healthier options, including a brand-new salad bar with composed […]

Thinking of hitting JJ’s tonight? Bwog’s Head Beverage Inspector Bijan Samareh warns you of the social dangers of late-night smoothie-savoring. JJ’s Place has its merits. First and foremost, it’s the only campus dining location where you can witness the Dionysian abandon of that vegan on your floor who only eats hummus and celery and air drunkenly […]

Bwog’s all-star ESC correspondent Sean Zimmerman gives you the skinny on the continued push for video games in student spaces.  Remember last week’s ESC proposal for video games in Lerner? In case you’ve forgotten, council member William Cybriwsky presented a revolutionary solution to Lerner’s oft-lamented boringness—rentable video game systems for use with Lerner’s televisions.
