Hanukkah Food Specials Across the D.C. Area | Eater DC
"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
