Hanukkah, the festival of lights, is a time to gather and celebrate with friends, family, and food. Get into the spirit of the holiday and join us for a decadent evening of cocktails, latkes, and caviar from Pearl Street Caviar. Mixologist Pamela Wiznitzer will teach her favorite Hanukkah beverage: an olive-oil washed martini finished with caviar. Elyssa Heller, founder and owner of The New York Times–acclaimed Edith’s in Brooklyn (and opening soon in the West Village) will be there to demonstrate the signature Edith’s square latke. Everyone will have a chance to drink, schmooze, and indulge in latkes with a variety of toppings and sauces.
