Ivy and Coney’s Annual Hanukkah Bar Pop-Up, “Chai-vy & Cohen-y”, Returns Monday!!

By Prince Of Petworth

From the legends at Ivy and Coney (1537 7th Street, NW):

“Ivy and Coney, the preferred dive bar of 4 out of 5 shickers (and the one your Bubbe explicitly warned you about), is overjoyed to celebrate Hanukkah with all of you again!

Beginning Monday, December 1st through the end of the month, the Manischewitz shall flow, the dreidels shall spin, and fun will be had by most. Mercifully, Hanukkah arrives fashionably late this year (starting 12/14), giving us a solid two weeks to pregame and mentally prepare for the miracle of oil lasting eight days (or the miracle of us lasting eight shots). The year 5785 was a real megillah, so let’s toast to 5786 being slightly less of a dumpster fire! (more…)

“Thanksgiving Overbooked at Founding Farmers DC?”

By Prince Of Petworth

“Dear PoPville,

We had reservations last night for 8pm at Founding Farmers DC. When we got there, they told us it would be at least 9pm before they could seat us for our 8pm reservation. Meanwhile, our choice for waiting was either shoulder-to-shoulder standing room in the bar or entrance area or wait outside in the cold. I didn’t like either option and left.

My friend said he expected that. I think they might have overbooked. Did they think they were going to be able to seat people outside under their sidewalk heaters? Is this normal? It was my first year not cooking in a long time, so I don’t know. Either way, it was a disappointment.”
