It’s pretty evident that some highly anticipated and heavily commercialized holidays get all the spotlight during this time of year. Rosenberg's Jewish Christmas Chinese Pop-Up makes the holiday fun for everyone.
On Saturday, December 24th from 5 pm - 10 pm Rosenberg’s Bagels and Delicatessen will host their second annual Rosenberg's Jewish Christmas Chinese Pop-Up! The end of December is really known for one thing… Christmas. But, surprise! Not everyone celebrates Christmas. Also, most probably haven’t realized Hanukkah starts on Christmas Eve. While the gentiles are hanging their stockings with care, eating their Christmas cookies and sitting around their pagan-derived trees, those in Jewish communities have some other options to celebrate the notoriously Cringle-centric day. Rosenberg’s Bagels and Delicatessen hosted the first “Jewish Christmas” last year and it was a huge success. This year they are bringing back the Chinese, prizes, and movies. All while benefitting a great cause too!
You can buy tickets off Eventbrite and prices are as follows:
$60 - Adults (all-inclusive food and full bar)
$30 - Adults (food and non-alcoholic beverages)
$20 - Kids (Over the age of 2)*
Free - Kids (Under the Age of 2)*
*Does not include young at heart
A portion of the proceeds from each ticket sold will go to Project Angel Heart.
PAH is a great foundation that provides nutritious meals to improve quality of life, at no cost, to people coping with life-threatening diseases.
The menu for Rosenberg's Jewish Christmas will have egg rolls, smoked salmon Rangoon, fried rice, Lo Mein (veggie and duck), Kung Pao Pastrami, General Tso’s chicken and of course, dessert. Activities for the night will include a raffle ($5 a piece for tickets), with prizes like a Rosenberg’s gift card, weekend line passes for the Five Points location and a “golden ticket” that allows the lucky winner to cut the line for a full year! All raffle proceeds will benefit Project Angel Heart.
Along with the food and prizes the night will also include featured movies “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation” and “The Hebrew Hammer.”
Doors open at 5 p.m. and dinner starts at 6 - the night's events will last until 10 so you have plenty of time to stuff your face with Chinese and laugh your tuchus off at some hilarious films.
