DC Gears Up for Hanukkah With Latkes, Sufganiyot, and Festive Pop-Ups

WTOP’s Mark Lewis welcomed listeners into a festive Friday morning as the region gears up for Hanukkah, beginning at sunset this Sunday and running through December 22, with Nycci Nellis of TheListAreYouOnIt.com sharing a delicious roundup of what’s cooking across DC. From latkes at Baked by Yael and menorah cake pops to mini sufganiyot at All Day by Capitol Hill, DIY holiday kits from Vanessa Shabbat, creative dishes and even a sufganiyot cocktail at Baba, and Silver & Sons’ elevated Hanukkah menu, the city is full of flavor. Add in pop-up bar fun like Ivy & Coney’s life-size “Shot-nora,” Hanukkah happy hours at Hook Hall, and plenty of food-and-drink traditions, and there’s no shortage of ways to celebrate.
