“Dear PoPville,
As we go into the holiday season, I’m wondering if you can ask your readers for any local businesses who are offering gift card deals. I’d love to support local when gifting this year.”
Holiday
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…)
Safe travels and good eats to all!
Back to a limited posting schedule on Friday and a regular schedule on Monday.
Bon Appétit!!

“Dear PoPville,
For a minute I thought this was real, and then I burst out laughing. For those who may not know, Georgetown has been overrun by too many banks, pretty much destroying its character. Sara’s and its companion location Dent Place Market are great neighbors. (more…)
Thanks to Elizabeth for sending: “From 6th & E NE yesterday (10/23). Definitely a Christmas tree.” (more…)
