“Dear Popville,
Do you know of places that are open Christmas Eve and Day? As a Jewish Washingtonian, my celebration will be Chinese food – but I’d also like to go out in the city! Do you know what bars will be happy to serve me during the holidays?”
From some emails:
“El Chucho Cocina Superior will be open regular hours on Christmas Eve.” [3313 11th St, NW]
“Star and Shamrock’s Christmas Day hours are 11am to 1:30am. They’re located at 1341 H Street, NE.
Star and Shamrock, H Street NE’s only Irish-Jewish fusion tavern, announced today that they will be open for business on Christmas Day, for the Third Annual Xmas Mitzvah! Once again offering patrons a place to take a break from all of the family time.
“A typical Jewish Christmas Day is spent watching movies and eating Chinese food—in my childhood that was generally the only kind of restaurants that were open,” says owner Jason Feldman. “We thought it would be fun to offer up our updated version of enjoying movies and Chinese fare.”
In addition to Star and Shamrock’s usual menu of sandwiches, wraps and crowd favorites like “The Clogger,” they will offer some Asian inspired specials including:
1. Kung Pao Pastrami
2. Corned Beef Fried Rice
3. Turkey #2 Eggrolls (Turkey, Bacon, Muenster w/ranch dipping sauce.)
4. Clogger Eggrolls (Beef Brisket, Bacon, Provolone w/BBQ dipping sauce.)
5. Reuben Eggrolls (Corned Beef, Sauerkraut, Swiss w/Russian dipping sauce.)
Yes, you can order by number if you’d like.
Keep your mug full with Hot Green Tea Toddies, or if you prefer a Hop Manna Draft from Shmaltz Brewing, dozens of craft beers, Bourbon, Whiskey or Rye infusions and a full bar to help keep your family events “friendly”.
Entertainment will include a variety of Christmas movies including Miracle on 34th Street, A Christmas Story, and many more, customer requests invited.”

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!
The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!
What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
