Over the summer, Bwog shed a silent tear when the acronym for Columbia Engineering was changed from “SEAS to “CE.” All hope seemed lost when the powers that be  drilled the inferior acronym into our youngest minds. But the tides turn for the better! A tipster forwarded us the following email this morning from Margaret […]

A tipster informs us that Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, the movie based on the acclaimed book of the same name, is now filming on Amsterdam between 92nd street and 102nd street. A few weeks ago, Bwog spotted them filming on La Salle. No sign of Tom Hanks, Sandra Bullock, or the dreamy Jonathan Safran […]

SoBe, that lizard-themed cousin of Vitamin Water, is handing out free bottles (none of that sample size bullshit!) on Broadway between 113th and 114th. Bwog picked up a “lean and mean” apple cranberry elixir packing a whopping 5 calories. Update, 6:28 p.m.: A commenter observes there is no more juice blend. SoBe it.
