In which three young gentlemen–NYU correspondent W.M. Akers and temporary Brits John Klopfer and Brendan Ballou–offer their tales of Thanksgiving out of sorts. Isolation within the 116th St. gates may be hard to take, but think of the NYU students. Not all are able to leave the city during Thanksgiving and Winter break, and although […]

Ah, Thanksgiving break, the time for turkey, family, pie, and untimely assigned papers. Surprisingly, Bwog has a family too, so posts may be a bit sparse for the next few days. But before we binge on pecan pie, in the vein of traditions, Bwog gives credit where it’s due. Through a very long e-mail thread, […]

We know this because they have alerted Bwog of their “free organic Thanksgiving dinner,” and to the fact that they’re a “special interest community that actually does something besides give itself sweet housing.” Like feed you!

Unlike most of my friends in the freshman class, I actually looked forward last week to returning home for Thanksgiving break. I had missed the John Jay turkey dinner for a vegan friend’s birthday dinner at […]

Dean of SEAS Zvi Galil, spam robot extraordinaire, strikes once more with an idiosyncratic personal e-mail before he leaves to take over the presidency of Tel Aviv University. Just another example of what we’ll be missing… Hi All, SEAS is hot. (Don’t hold it without gloves, you may get burnt.) We now have final numbers of Early […]

Eagle-eyed Bwog Editor Jessica Cohen noticed this interesting sign in Milano.  Nothing like “freshly killed turkey” to stir the appetite!  Thanks to Sumaiya Ahmed for the photo!
