Every Sunday, as you roll out of bed and head to brunch, Bwog will be doing the same. Except we’ll be writing about our brunching experience in hopes of improving your next one. Bwog’s Sunday Brunch will run every Sunday. As great as some Sunday brunch specials are, brunch is a remnant of a broken […]

Yes, it’s free money to buy food! According to two eager-to-email passersby, Starbucks representatives are giving away $5 gift cards in front of Lerner. Bwog remains perplexed, and skeptical of tipster Ben Isham’s explanation that this “string-free free money” is “part of a promotion to ‘educate’ students about how their parents can reload them monthly.” […]

This afternoon, Bwog took a leisurely stroll to admire the baked goods at The Bake Sale of the Year. The immodestly named pastry exchange was set up just inside the Barnard gates. Featuring treats from Nussbaum, Westside Market, Silver Moon Bakery and some other neighborhood haunts, the proceeds of the sale benefit the CARE organization. […]

Tipster and burrito-enthusiast  Eugene Shapsyuk alerts Bwog to some unfortunate price-raising at Chipotle: “I thought it’d be worth reporting as an FYI that Chipotle raised their prices. Price of a Burrito with guac is now $10.34 up from $9.25 I think. Guac’s 10 cent’s more and a Burrito is $7.61 up from I think $6.95. […]

Every Sunday, as you roll out of bed and head to brunch, Bwog will be doing the same. Except we’ll be writing about our brunching experience in hopes of improving your next one. Bwog’s Sunday Brunch will run every Sunday.  The Place: Community Food & Juice The Location: Broadway between 112th and 113th Expect to […]

Last night, concerned citizen/tipster Karen Kwan alerted Bwog that Barnard students had once again received an email advertising free pizza. Only this time, it was to inform them that their free pizza party had moved locations. Instead of the Domino’s on 125th, the free, medium, one-topping pies had migrated south to Famiglia Pizzeria. “LOCATION CHANGE” […]

This week on Cooking, Bwog’s chef has got her gaze on the Farmer’s market that happens outside of Lerner on Thursdays and Sundays. Nothing like tasty winter produce on a cold day like today. Some of the recipes are from Farmers’ market pamphlets from the NYS Dept. of Health; others are from Cooking’s own repertoire. […]

Hungry for seafood on a college budget? The prospect of Morton Williams make you ill? Bwog correspondent David Iscoe has found a solution in the form of the New Young Fish Market.   The first time I saw the New Young Fish Market, I thought the sign said “Neil Young Fish Market,” but the real […]

Two reminders about foodstuffs today:  Free: Got SeOUL Food? The annual multi-cultural buffet is tonight at 7 PM in Lerner 555. There will be prizes to win, bands to hear, dinner to be consumed free of charge. Not so: The College Dems and V&T Pizza will be donating all proceeds from pizza sales tonight from […]

Just mere moments ago, Bwog received an email from Dave Cook of Eating in Translation. Cook informs us that according to someone in charge of renovating Pertutti’s old space, the new restaurant will be an Italian trattoria. Apparently, the kitchen will stay open til 2 AM, and the doors til 4 AM. The new eatery […]

Caffe Pertutti, a mainstay of Broadway is closed forever.  Apparently, no one ate $8.50 hamburgers.  

A few tipsters have sent Bwog links to a website called EveryBlock. Users can search by zip code or address to find out all sorts of neat things about a neighborhood like elevator malfunctions, construction work violations and grossest of all: restaurants’ health code violations.  Kitchenette scored a moderately upsetting 14 points, the most nauseating […]

Happy Super Bowl, Columbia! It’s still the beginning of the semester, so there’s a good chance that many of you will be watching the game instead of the sky turning from light to darkness from inside the depths of Butler. So in the spirit of procrastination and camaraderie, Bwog presents a few neighborhood game-watching options. […]

Bwog is totes jealous of this tipster, who recently discovered another reason why Westside is superior to Morton Williams: “Yesterday, I went shopping at West Side Market. Apparently, if you buy a certain amount of stuff, you get a free WestSide tote/grocery bag. There are signs at each register encouraging you to use these bags […]

Bwog’s resident gastronomic correspondent Michael Snyder serves up (!) advice on where to go and how to get seated during restaurant week.  Some say Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year; I say it’s restaurant week.  Although this winter’s restaurant week is already halfway finished, you still have five days left—January 28-February 1—to […]
