It’s almost officially Thanksgiving break – Bwog will be on bweak too with only a few posts a day. Enjoy your exoduses! The Thanksgiving travel rate hasn’t recovered from last year’s little spill, and the cheap early bus was probably filled to the brim yesterday. (Gothamist, NY Times) If you’re sitting in your dorm room […]

Once again, many of us will be making the pilgrimage from Morningside to a home, whether it’s yours, your grandparents, significant other’s. There will be queues at the airport, train stations and bus terminals. It will be stressful. To help ease the pain, Bwog has once again compiled advice from the most experienced travelers on […]

The last part of Bwog Poultry Pundit David Hu’s hunt for the ultimate Thanksgiving sandwich. Meal Three: Saturday, November 21, 2009. 12:02pm Cajun Roasted Turkey from Milano In a twist, I went to Milano for lunch, where, once again, they did not have any special Thanksgiving sandwiches. So I settle on something a little unexpected […]

The second in Bwog Poultry Pundit David Hu’s serialized quest for the mythical Thanksgiving sandwich. Meal Two: Friday, November 20, 2009. 6:14pm Capri Panini from Nussbaum and Wu I continue my search for the elusive Thanksgiving sandwich in Morningside Heights. I’ll cop to disappointment–many places have said they do not have any special seasonal sandwiches […]

Resident Movies ‘n’ Mashed Potatoes Machine Mark Hay is back with three films to enjoy in that post-turkey stupor. Thanksgiving approaches quickly and many of you will be returning to your families. Bwog sympathizes with those of you who will be returning to dysfunction, disorder and other such unpleasantness. So in the spirit of the […]

We just wanted to take a quick minute to thank you, the reader, for reading. We’ve had an exciting fall, with pageviews numbering just below 1.5 million/month for October and November (our highest since April ’08 by about 100k). So again, thanks for reading — we’re humbled and grateful that you do.

While you were relishing waking up in your bed at home yesterday, Bwog joined the vast crowd of Manhattanites who schlepped downtown in the cold early Thursday morning to watch the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. The procession of giant balloons—an enjoyable if odd holiday ritual, when you think about it—included a few new characters among […]

Bwog will be taking it easy today in deference to Thanksgiving and hope you will be too. And as per our tradition, we’ve compiled a list of everything and everyone for which/whom we’re thankful.

Thanksgiving weekend can be a tumultuous time for first-years. For many, it is the first time home since August, a hectic four-day period where one must see everyone one loved or cared about since pre-school at breakneck speed. This includes much obligatory bonding time with parents and relatives and a lot of “yeah I know […]

Bwog understands that staying in the ‘hood over Thanksgiving break can be a little lonely. Campus is a ghost town, and as your friends skip town droves of tourists replace them, clogging up the streets at the Thanksgiving Day Parade and talking too loudly on the subway. We also know that Thanksgiving dinner is all […]

You know you shouldn’t be in school right now. You should be in transit, breezing through short lines at LaGuardia or strolling through Penn Station, picking up a donut one of the city’s last remaining Krispy Kremes. Or better yet, you should be home, watching TV and making your parents do your laundry. But you […]

We were dismayed to receive the following Concerned Email from Nussbaum resident Allon Brann this afternoon. Brann, like so many unsuspecting students, attended the Nussbaum incarnation of ResLife’s Thanksgiving free-food giveaway. But “the holiday offering of cider, pie, whipped cream, and candy is merely a front for a sinister aim:  the indoctrination and eventual conversion […]

Free pumpkin pie — the most topical of treats — is being served in the Broadway Skylounge from 9 PM to 11 PM.  Tastes like a five day weekend.

Everyone wants to be as cool as people in EC, so those of us west of Broadway feel the urge to adopt our own moniker: we’re “West Campus.” And to celebrate Thanksgiving (yes, the event is not PC), the west campus lounges will have free apple cider, pumpkin, sweet potatoes, and apple pie.  The email […]
