In a tasty collaboration between Bacchanal and the new city guide Cheatsheet, four of New York’s most scrumptious food trucks will be parked on College Walk today and tomorrow. Zigzag your way to the center of campus between 12 and 4 pm to find Rickshaw Dumplings and Mexicue ready and waiting to help power you […]

You may have been led to believe that summer was officially over, but the sun is still shining and we’re feeling slightly sweaty in our sweaters. Luckily, the highly sought after Coolhaus truck is making a rare appearance at Columbia today. Head over to Broadway, between 114th and 115th, from noon to 5 pm to grab a “gourmet,” made to […]

Ever dreamed of filling the shoes of great American heroes Frederick T. Frelinghuysen, Hamilton Fish, Elihu B. Washburne, or Edward Stettinius, Jr.? What about Henry Kissinger or our own John Jay? Tonight, Asch Harwood, a Research Associate at the Council on Foreign Relations, will be offering advice on how to jump-start a career in foreign […]

And burst it big! If you’re interested in studying abroad next semester or next year, it behooves you to dash over to 602 Hamilton at 8:15 this evening. The Office of Global Programs (OGP) is hosting a Study Abroad General Info Session for all interested undergrads. They’ll cover eligibility, types of programs, language requirements, programs […]

Several score and a couple of years ago, state conventions ratified the highly experimental United States Constitution. This revered document is responsible both for the framework of our government and stopping Arnold Schwarzenegger from running for president. To commemorate this special day, you can pick up a free pocket version of the Constitution at the […]

According to @ColumbiaFoodPod—a twitter account that keeps CU students up-to-date on daily food truck prevalence whereabouts in Morningside Heights—we should expect two dessert trucks today. Both Cupcake Stop and Sweetery NYC will be parked on Amsterdam between 117th and 120ths streets. No word yet on times, but tip us or write below in the comments if […]

JJ’s place will now be open Thursday, Friday, and Saturday from 12pm till 8pm. They are, of course, still open from 8pm till 1am Sunday through Wednesday. Nothing complements pre-gaming like mozzarella sticks and sliders.

Broadway between 114th and 116th (in front of Lerner) is the place to be today if you have yet to stock up on fridge fodder. If you want to stave off the freshman (or sophomore… or junior) 15, and you kinda dig supporting local farmers, then Columbia Greenmarket is your best bet every Thursday and […]

Mornin’ freshpeople! We heard you were on an island last night! How the kids branched out before: NSOP renting out iconic New York places has been a tradition. Last year, 2014 was on a boat, 2013 danced in the zoo, and 2012 bonded in Victorian Gardens. But maybe dear ol’ 2011 had it best when […]

In the beginning there was Tenka, the no-fee app that lets students use social media to redeem first come, first served coupons at local eateries. Oh, and how could we forget the ultra-hip CampusFood? Thanks to the latter, we’ve been holed up in our rooms since last September with a continuous stream of flex-funded Kitchenette […]

The summer has been anything but dull in Morningside Heights. Perhaps the biggest news of all was the closing of H&H bagels, just downriver at 80th St. H&H was frequently cited as the top rival to our clearly superior Absolute for the best bagels on the Upper West Side, if not the entire city. Perhaps […]

Groupon is offering a deal at Mel’s: two burgers and a 64oz. growler for the price of $19. At the time of posting, 747 people had already purchased the deal-maker. You guys should all go at the same time to this “vintage-inspired” burger joint and make them really grumpy. And for those of you who […]

The only way to truly take a study break is to eat some snacks. Consider that you are on your tenth study break and that there are local, farm-fresh, nutritional offerings at your door! HamDel will still be there tomorrow, but not the Farmer’s Market! Out there today: Many succulent representatives from the allium genus: […]

We continue to respect our heritage/amorous affair with our mother-magazine, The Blue & White by posting each issue of the magazine online. The latest issue, available this week around campus, is a cornucopia of delights: an interview with Dean Peter Awn; the quixotic quest for a Quidditch team; and a reflection on Columbia’s recent media malaise. In “At Two Swords’ Length” two writers […]

A too-little, too-late (too-gross) allusion to shock porn? We would never! And we resent the accusation. No, this is just our new sometimes-weekly feature about two very hungry girls (Diana Clarke and Carly Silver) trying to share big mouthfuls of one snack. Barring more euphemisms, we thought it necessary to introduce this feature in light […]
