“Ivy and Coney, located at 1537 7th St NW in historic Shaw, is proud to announce the triumphant return of the most important pop-up of the year, the amazing “Chai-vy and Cohen-y” Hanukkah Bar. From December 1st through Chinese-Food-and-a-Movie Day of the year 5779, the Manischewitz shall flow, the dreidels shall spin, latkes shall be noshed. Guests can expect a winter wonderland of awe-inspiring decorations created by the design firm The Maccabeasts, while sipping on cocktails custom-tailored to the occasion.
This year’s design theme will celebrate Hanukkah as the red panda of winter holidays. The theme will highlight how both the Jewish holiday and Ailurus Fulgens have played second fiddle to their more popular brethren. Cocktails from our Head Shicker Specialist, John Becker, will run the gamut from “The Fire Within” (shot of fireball, Manischewitz back) to “My Ashkenazi BF or Panda?” (Manischewitz, rocks glass) to “Fur BallMitzvah” (rum, coke). Guests should look forward to pictures of Rusty, DC’s premier zoo house escape artist, and impromptu wiki-fueled lectures on the red panda. (more…)

Part of Florida Ave near U Street Still Closed for a shooting investigation that occurred last night
9th and Florida Shut Down By Police This Morning 7:30am photo by Ali
Ali writes:
“On my morning commute this morning around 7 am, I came to an abrupt halt at 9th and Florida due to the whole area being closed off by police. From Warby Parker in Shaw all the way down to Nellies was taped off, including side streets. There were multiple police cars throughout each closed off area as well.”
Anne reported:
“What in the world is going on tonight?! Sounds like there may be a third. Heard at least 6 gun shots around 10:35 or so. Shortly after, lots of sirens. Still hearing them now. Can’t be certain but the sound of the shots seemed like it came from somewhere southeast of Shaw/Logan.”
From MPD:
“The Third District is currently investigating a shooting in the 800 block of Florida Avenue NW. An adult male has been transported to an area hospital with a non life threatening gunshot wound.
Motorists and pedestrians can expect road closures in the area as we investigate.
Anyone with information is asked to call 202-727-9099.”
“In reference to the shooting investigation, the 700 and 800 blocks of Florida Avenue, NW along with the 1900 and 2000 blocks of 8th Street, NW are currently closed to vehicle and pedestrian traffic. These closures may extend into rush hour traffic so please plan an alternate route should this be your normal course of travel in the morning.”
Ed. Note: Further west on Florida Ave:
“Good morning. The Northbound lanes of 18th Street NW between T Street and Florida Avenue are currently closed to vehicular traffic as a result of a police investigation. The Metropolitan Police Department is assisting with traffic control for a federal agency who has executed a search warrant related to violent crimes and narcotics in the block.
We are working to get the roadway reopened as soon as possible. In the meantime motorists may experience delays in this area.”
“Dear PoPville,
Wondering if you could take a look at the above photo and weigh in on whether it’s legitimate. These appeared Sunday (11/11) on both sides of our entire block in Shaw. While parking will be unrestricted in the evenings, the 7 AM start time screws over everyone who leaves for work at a later time than that, and to restrict parking on both sides of a whole block seems like a lot. What’s more, these parking signs don’t look like the usual ones I’m used to (maybe because it’s tree work, but I’m not sure) and I’m not sure enough notice was given. Am I overreacting or missing something? What say the readers?”
“Dear PoPville,
On Monday a Cleveland Elementary mother of 4 passed away unexpectedly from a medical emergency. A gofundme page has been set up to help the family through these tough times. These are really great people with sweet kids who often volunteered at school.”
