Put a Ring On It - Quad Edition

(03/18/13 4:55pm)

This weekend, Penn alums Daniella Rohr '10 and Sam Adelsberg '10 made their love offish with an adorable Quad engagement that made all single girls run to buy tubs of I-hate-my-life ice cream. Adelsberg allegedly proposed in Rohr's freshman year dorm room, a memento for the couple because they met six years ago during their first year at Penn. He brought her to an open window overlooking the lawn boasting those precious two words: Marry Me?


A Guide for Late Spring Breakers

(03/01/13 10:06pm)

You're the kid in your hall awkwardly leaving for Spring Break on Sunday - or worse - Monday. Everyone's got their floaties packed and their flasks ready, yet there you are: working on that final take home midterm, getting excited texts from your parents about Monday's vegan potluck for your return, or perhaps cursing girls on Facebook who are already in Jamaica in their bikinis.



Lil Pop Shop Reopens! (Because You're Not Cold Enough)

(02/19/13 3:36pm)

Alas! What all you chilly little lads have been waiting for! The delicious pop shop on 44th has finally reopened its door to us. Now you can walk down Locust peeking outa that Kenny-from-South-Park puffer coat  with popsicle in hand, lips frozen in sweet delight. Stop by after a Tampopo meal or bring some home for those cozy Sundays when you watch Girls and wonder why the hell it's gotten so bad and why Hannah's always naked.

(02/03/13 9:30pm)

If you're like us, you're really good at curling your hair, slathering on that Mac lipgloss and teetering around in heels. You are kind, nurturing and know how to GET DOWN AND DIRTY.

Here, ladies (and gentz, cuz that's a thing) - your cheat sheet for how to impress the man in your life when the hot wings come out, the boys gather 'round, and the game comes on.


Meyerson to Welcome New Café

(01/31/13 9:37pm)

Mmmmm....can't get enough of those soggy tuna wraps from Joe's? Lovin' those overpriced, mildly warm grapes from Huntsman's Bridge Cafe? Hankering for some confused yogurt smoothie from Houston? Annoyed that this post is all questions thus far? Well guess what?!?! Now you can grab all of your favorite on-the-go delights from Meyerson's Penn Design Cafe, due open in "the week after next," according to our on-site construction source. After health inspectors come through and make sure the place is spiffy clean, this newest brainchild of 12th Street Catering will start offering all the hits.


The Cutest Thang You'll Ever Watch

(01/28/13 3:15pm)

Stop what you're doing. Stop it right now. Because UTB has this video, you see, that is probably the coolest and most adorable thing you'll watch for the next like...couple of months. Introducing My Little Magic Book, the mind-blowing digitized scrapbook made by Penn freshman and emerging artist Julie Adam. The piece has already hit over 12,000 views and we are sure the number will only climb from here. We have an exclusive interview with the artist, so...



Van Pelt STANK And Who To Thank

(12/13/12 6:30pm)

There you are. I see you. Sitting in a tiny VP cubby, stalking sorority formal pics on your laptop, awkwardly snapchatting your best friend and getting caught by the passing security guard. "Lookin' good, Jenny," he says. "My name's not Jenny, and I haven't showered in three days," you respond. Then SUDDENLY - you whiff an uncomfortable concoction of Indian food and squishy diaper. Someone's eating in the cubby behind you. And it's NOT making this day any better.


Café Cláve's Owner Went Cray, So...

(12/13/12 3:00pm)

It's closing! According to this report, the Cuban-themed 43rd street coffee shop will "close permanently" after being out of commission for the past few days. Apparently  the owner, kindly nicknamed "Gooch" (oh?), is facing a slew of criminal charges that include assault, possession of a weapon, ethnic intimidation and - wait for it - TERRORISTIC THREATS. The police are clearly going Carrie Mathison on Gooch's ass (no pun intended), and for this we are thankful. School is hard enough. We already worry whether or not the Metro barista slips milk into our coffee ("We're lactose intolerant!"), so any major terrorism could put us over the edge.



Capogiro Is In Heat!

(11/12/12 3:34pm)

Well thank GOD it isn't just us! The long-necked pumpkin has riled us up for quite some time now (ask our high school boyfriend, he can confirm) and Capogiro seems to feel the same. This veggie's got Capo feeling virile, and they aint' afraid to show it. Seems a bit out of character for the always-aloof, cranky-staffed coffee shop. But hey! Leave it to a giant phallic gourd to un-crank even the snottiest barista!



Dispatches: This Is Not A Yelp! Review Of HarBar

(10/06/12 9:42pm)

After Penn's premier chocolate chip cookie-dough pancake factory closed in May 2011, we were left with a 40th-and-Walnut-sized void in our hearts and stomachs. Fast-forward a year and a half, and surprise! HarBar! Though the soft opening of the seasonal, healthy joint went down last week, we stopped by for the official first day (hard opening?) Thursday evening with a list of questions to be answered:
