From our good, old, friends from Ivy and Coney (1537 7th Street, NW):
“Hey there sports fans! Ivy and Coney is turning 10, and to celebrate a decade of debauchery we are serving up the unique combination of enthusiasm and regret that has made us who we are for the past decade.

Because blood is thicker than water, but nothing is thicker than thick malort.
