We’ve been celebrating Christmas by going out for Chinese food and checking out a new movie long before it became the fashionable thing to do, resulting in longer waits than ever to get into our favorite Chinatown restaurants, which doesn’t make us very happy. So we’re thrilled that such places as 92YTribeca offer special Christmas packages that combine the two. On December 25, the fifth day of Hanukkah, beginning at 2:00 ($25-$30), you can start chowing down on some chow mein while watching the Steven Spielberg adventure double feature of Raiders of the Lost Ark and Jurassic Park. The downtown offshoot of the 92nd St. Y will also be honoring the Festival of Lights with two other holiday events. On December 22 at 7:00 ($18-$22), the fourth annual Beer + Latke Hanukkah Celebration will include Brooklyn Brewery expert Dan Moss’s pairings of beer with chef Russell Moss’s gourmet potato pancakes, along with candle lighting, dreidel games, a trivia contest hosted by Allison Tick, and Rabbi Dan Ain answering any “December dilemma” questions you might have. And on Christmas eve at 8:00 ($13-$15), Liam McEneaney will host Hanukkomedy, with comics Sandy Marks, MC Mr. Napkins, Todd Barry, and the always delightful Janeane Garofalo. Chag sameach, everyone!
