Ivy and Coney’s Hanukkah Extravaganza Celebrations start Friday, December 1st through the end of the month

From our friends in Shaw (1537 7th Street, NW):

“Ivy and Coney, the preferred dive bar of 4 out of 5 shickers, is elated to celebrate Hanukkah with all of you again! Beginning Friday, December 1st through the end of the month, the Manischewitz shall flow, the dreidels shall spin, and fun will be had by most. The really fun part with fire gets going the evening of the 7th and continues on every night until the 14th. Yes, there will be presents.

As always, we’ll be donating all proceeds from the sale of kosher wine to HIAS for their work helping refugees across the globe. We hope everyone will join us in throwing down some serious gelt to support this vital cause.

To properly honor the least important holiday on the calendar, one where you both get to play with fire and drink dubiously colored wine, we’ve got delicious latkes, sufgani-shots (jelly donuts in shot form), and Manischewitz. Latkes, arguably the most important culinary creation since unleavened bread, will feature prominently as a reminder of the oil used to light the menorah, and the fact that fried foods truly are the tastiest. Each night we will be lighting the Hanukiyah at approximately 7:00 PM (December 7th through December 14th) and invite our guests to participate. Who knows, you may even find a present in your hands at the end of the night.

Most importantly,

we will be unleashing the Monster of Mshuge on our DC mishpocheh in the form of our state of the art shot menorah. The #ShotNorah (patent still pending) is designed for the enjoyment of eight guests at a time. The bartender will act as your shamash, pouring revelers a choice of libations on the “shotski”. No kvetching about stains on your clothes will be allowed. What more can we say? Let’s make like a menorah and get lit!
