ABC’s Six Degrees has been filming near here all day, and we’ve managed to locate their food tent! Walk on by Nussbaum, wear a baseball cap, and say you’re the best boy! In other news, it seems as if people on the sets of TV shows do a lot of standing around, and not much […]

Finally, proof that our world is a world of inexplicable contradictions!  Right now, on Low Plaza, two representatives from LiNK—students for Liberty in North Korea—are sitting at a table, trying to get students to sign up for a fast, to take place on October 24th, in solidarity with those going hungry in North Korea.  Which […]

Let your nutrition take a hit so AIDS victims can eat better. Trust us, it’s worth it–these ladies can bake!  College Walk, now.  

The Rock Climbing Club sent out an email this afternoon tipping its members off to a really sweet deal on Clif Bars. Amazon.com is offering bulk packages for $21.49, which is about half-off the in-store price. Better yet, if you enter the coupon code CLIFLUNA and buy two boxes, you’ll get $10 off and free […]

Several times a year, Broadway turns into an Upper West Side-style bazaar, hawking everthing from fur coats to cheap socks. Today, Bwog bypassed the material goods, turning instead to late summer nirvana: the food.  Street fair culinary options tend to tread the extremes of nutrition: smoothies and falafel nestle in between cholesterol dispensaries, exemplified by […]

Good news for those who get queasy at the sight of chicken strips: the organic food coop is opening again tonight in JJ’s! Last year, Local Organic Agriculture and Friends (LOAF), re-christened Core Foods, brought you fresh veggies, soy products, and other sundry vegan treats, and this year is planning even bigger and better things.

Spectator reported yesterday that the Business School’s Uris Deli has banished all forms of parental food finance: Flex, Dining Dollars, and First-Year Points are henceforth useless. It seems someone at the business school doesn’t want undergraduates clogging their territory any longer; this would also explain why professional power-lunchables (think spoiled sushi and oniony sandwiches) are […]

The days of granola bars and Starbucks cups are over, sayeth the librarians–effective next week, if you want to eat, you’ve got to join the line at Blue Java. According to the information desk, the decision was made a few weeks ago, when the Head Librarian noticed a guy bringing a slice of pizza through […]

As if you didn’t already have enough reason to go, Rack & Soul–the newish fried chicken place on Broadway at 109th–has ranked a respectable 47th on New York Magazine’s invaluable Best Cheap Eats list. In the other direction, on 131st st., Dinosaur BBQ came in 65th. Because, you know, Manhattan above 96th is only good […]

Fruit Paunch just started its annual 24-hour show on the lawn east of Low Steps, which will continue until 5 p.m. Saturday. Yes, they will be standing there saying funny things, even if no one is there to watch. Go make them feel loved. Oh, and study for finals. Edit 1:16 am After performing a […]

According to today’s NYT, Morningside Heights’ own La Rosita is having trouble paying its $18,000/month rent and might close. Time to pitch in, guys. The Bwog for one is switching its La Taqueria loyalty over to La Rosita. It’s about 17% less filthy, anyway.

Sure, the cookies from Cafe 212 are okay, but they can’t beat baked goods made with parental love and care to raise spare change for charitable endeavors. Stop by Broadway Presbyterian Church’s nursery bake sale and kid-fest to soak in the joy of spring and cute children! In a non-pedophilic way, of course.

File under crazy/bitter SEAS kids making life better for all of us: Freshman Rajesh Ramakrishnan has created Columbia FoodWorks, a website which hooks up first-years with too many dining points (they expire at the end of the year) with first-years with too few points. Of course, there’s no such thing as a free lunch– “although […]
