Community Food & Juice took over a prime retail slot on Broadway between 112th and 113th streets in the fall of 2007 and, according to proprietors, began to turn a profit a year and a half later.

The real-life Borg mothership

By Armin Rosen
Oct 18 04:41 pm ET

The NWSB is a return to the modernist fetishization of structure, although like Lerner, it stretches its intellectual assumptions to drearily excessive lengths. The result is architecture that doesn’t reflect the building’s structure or purpose so much as tell the outside world to keep moving and mind its own business.

It’s that time of year again. Election Day is coming up, and while the University-wide holiday will be a welcome break for Columbia students, it will also be an opportunity for many of us to exercise our civic duty.

Lord, what fools these candidates be

By Elizabeth Kipp-Giusti
Oct 18 04:42 pm ET

When even the Naked Cowboy has thrown his 10-gallon hat in the ring, the time has come to question the legitimacy of the New York City mayoral elections. The race to the top of the city’s executive branch has become so populated with colorful characters that it seems more an exercise in outrageousness than a political process.

Calling it, for Thompson

By Al Benninghoff
Oct 18 04:42 pm ET

Though I’m young, I’m a bit of an old hat at phone banking—so much so that I ran phone banks for the Obama campaign in New York City that generated three million calls. Earlier this year, I ran several more phone banks for Congressman Scott Murphy in his victory upstate to replace now-Senator Kirsten Gillibrand. Phone banking for Thompson, however, is quite a different experience.

With all the political corruption busts in New Jersey recently, I’m thinking of running for mayor of Hoboken. With the campaign now heating up, the timing is right for me to jump into the race. Since I already have nine felony convictions, from shoplifting to counterfeiting to possession of narcotics, I figure I’m way ahead of your more conventional candidates.

The story behind the viewfinder

By Lisa Lewis
Oct 18 07:55 pm ET

Do you ever find yourself wondering why you like sports, or what was the first moment that drew you in? My relationship with sports is complex. I have always been a klutz, and participating in athletics never came naturally to me. I never had those quick-twitch muscles that you need to go from being a good athlete to a better one, so I languished in suckiness for most of my elementary and middle school days—that dork from the movies who always gets picked last was definitely me.
