From the fine folks at Ivy & Coney (1537 7th Street, NW):
“Oy vey, it’s that time of year again! Ivy and Coney, DC’s premier bar for arguing the merits of Pastrami vs. Corned Beef, is thrilled to announce the return of its most important event of the year, “Chai-vy & Cohen-y.” What started as a joke (and let’s be honest, still kind of is) is back to bring holiday cheer (and maybe a little indigestion) to the masses.
Eight Crazy Nights (Plus Some)
Starting Monday, December 2nd and running through Wednesday, January 1st, Ivy and Coney will transform into a cerulean Shangri-La where the Manischewitz flows like Mike D and the dreidels spin like a Koufax curveball.
The festivities kick into high gear during Hanukkah itself (December 25th – January 1st), with nightly candle lighting at 7:00 PM-ish and small gifts at the door (while supplies last – we’re not made of gelt, people!).
Food and Drink Specials:
– Shotnorah: Gather your crew and fire up this 8-person shotski menorah. Choose from Manischewitz (for the brave), Malört (for the bold), or Fireball (for the basic).
– Sufgani-shots: These boozy jelly donut shots are the perfect way to get your sugar and alcohol fix in one go.
– Latkes: Crispy, golden potato pancakes served with applesauce (because we’re an applesauce house). Ok fine, we’ll have sour cream too.
Schedule Highlights
– Christmas Eve: The latkes are cooked in the fryer with care in hopes that Malört shots soon will be there. Open at 5PM
– Christmas Day: Open at 5PM for Chinese food and movies. Candle lighting at 7:00 PM-ish.
– New Year’s Eve: Ring in 2025 with a Manischewitz toast at midnight. It’s like champagne, except…completely different. Open at 5PM
– New Year’s Day: Nurse your hangover from kickoff to candle lighting. It’s the last night of Hanukkah and we’ll be open at noon for all the College Football Playoff games.
Giving Back (with a Twist)
100% of Manischewitz sales will be donated to Bread for the City. We figure it’s the least we can do to offset the karmic debt of serving kosher wine out of a 12 foot menorah shotski.”
