Seder City

Hey people,

In case there are some people in our Jew-rich group of socializing Papilionoidea, this week begins Pesach, (Passover) Festival of the Pascal Lamb. Many of us will be celebrating our first seder of the year and we will be unable to join the usual festivities associated with that most timely of hump days, Wednesday. However, that being said, there may be some options for HH this week. Stay tuned!

Also, there is a second night seder brewing at Chez Rosenberg's. If you didn't get the evite, sorry. You're welcome to come, just let me know as soon as possible and if you might entertain the idea of bringing something edible, preferable for Jews as well.

Lastly, I have a suggestion for the week following; Zorba's Cafe. Here is the old HH email for that week, as I recall it was a lot of fun (don't remember getting home).
The Event: Happy Hour Extravaganza Passover Style

Where: Zorba's Café, 1612 20th Street, NW, Washington, D.C. 20009, about 30 yards north of the Q street exit at Dupont on the West side.

Super duper convenient!

What: Depending on your religion, and from whence it comes (Sephardic, Ashkenazi) you can consume; everything, rice and corn, nothing at all. The food here is excellent and incredibly cheap. Any and all food can be had. Boxes of matzohs will be provided by yours truly, as will several bottles of kosher wine (Manishevitz(I might only have Malaga which can kill a horse, anyone will Concord grape is welcome to bring theirs) and otherwise). There is a corkage fee of $9 per bottle/negotiable. All alcoholic beverages must be drunk. No open bottles can leave the premises. That means…fun! There are wonderful tzatikis, hummus platters, great fries, olives, skordalia (potato dip) among other great food that is Pesach friendly. If you eat rice, well, you're set for life, aren't you? Also excellent pizza, but we won't talk about that.
For those of us who are not culinarily inhibited this week, there are also $2.75 mugs of Rolling Rock, $3.50 mugs of Sam Adams, $3.75 for Heineken, Becks, Corona, Guinness, and Amstel Light, $2.95 for Coors, Bud, and Miller! Can you believe it? No?

Why: Rebellion. Who needs to eat cold turkey leftovers for 8 days. Not you that's who! You can go out, eat great food, for a ridiculously low price, and get plastered on horrifically sweet wine! Fly in the face of the dreary tradition of splashing some room temperature butter on that card board. Ich! Kick it out the window. Break out of that horrible rut and get some!

We'll see you at Zorba's Café tomorrow evening. Get there early or you might miss out on all the provided goodies.
If there was a day to leave work on time, IT'S TOMORROW! SEE YOU THERE!
