Lin Manuel Miranda could never anticipate the hype The Heights has been getting.

The frozen margarita is, simply put, the perfect cocktail.

We’ve spent the past few days observing the freshfolk and questioning their NSOP theme—now we get a chance to hear from them. Sweet ’16er S.T. shares the following firsthand account of what it’s really like out there.  We clutch our CUIDs and giggle as we walk past the security guard at East Campus.

Graduation may be over for this year, but there are still some honors left to be given! Our very own The Heights, home of the infamous $5 marg, earned a spot on Gothamist’s “7 Best Rooftop Bars in NYC.” While we’re not exactly sure how—other list-toppers (like Le Bain) are swankier—we’ll drink to it.   […]

Ever had twenty-five Heights margaritas in one night? Bwog has, cumulatively. Kicking Bacchaweekend off right, the brave among us hit early happy hour last Thursday… and stayed there well into the next one. It was awkwardly empty, it was frighteningly crowded. It was strangely sober, it was blackout drunk. But most of all, it was […]

In the meantime, Bwog will again honor our heritage/amorous affair with our mother magazine by posting features from the upcoming issue.

Update: One of Spec’s reporters caught up with Anna and learned she was first put on notice two weeks ago, after she returned a confiscated fake ID to a student for $40, but the final straw came last Monday, when she took a shot from the bar after a long shift, which The Heights strictly […]

We know you’ve been waiting a long time for Bwog to finally weigh in on the “newcomer.” But really, the question of the best burger in Morningside is so much more complex than a petty squabble between Five Guys and Mel’s. Thus, we’ve taken our time to really get our shit together. Burgers are complicated. […]

Welcome back to the Best of series in which Bwog analyzes the best in a category of chosen food product!  There are few things that are as much fun and as thirst-quenching as a margarita.  And after a weekend of being nice to your parents or studying for midterms, there are few things as much […]

Mayyyyybe Bloomberg will run for reelection Gamers: beware of exceeding University bandwidth caps, but only sometimes.  In fact, for most of the things you’ll be doing online, you will be fine. Perhaps the University Senate is a place where debate within the University should take place.  As opposed to debating with kitchen knives. Wait a […]

Gawker is linking to Vanity Fair‘s just released “All Access Summer Guide,” which features the city’s best beaches, bars, restaurants, and pools. Second on VF‘s list of the Best Bars for Drinking Under the Stars? None other than everyone’s favorite backup for when 1020 is just too crowded, the Heights. “Columbia students drink their cares […]
