Hanukkah Food Specials Across the D.C. Area
"The divey Shaw water hole, that the owners call “D.C.’s premier bar for arguing the merits of pastrami vs. corned beef,” throws its famed “Chai-vy & Cohen-y” Hanukkah party. Through January 1, Ivy and Coney transforms “into a cerulean Shangri-La where the Manischewitz flows like Mike D and the dreidels spin like a Koufax curveball.” Festivities turn the liveliest during Hanukkah itself, with nightly candle lightings at around 7 p.m. and small prizes for attendees. Food and drink specials include the rabbi-not-approved Shotnorah (an eight-person shotski menorah), Sufgani-shots (jelly doughnut shots), and traditional latkes served with applesauce and sour cream. The bar will also be open at 5 p.m. on Christmas Day for Chinese food and movies. All of the Manischewitz sales will be donated to nearby Bread for the City." - Evan Caplan
