Calling all Jewish singles and YPs: The Jewish Federation of Cincinnati and the Mayerson JCC are hosting their annual Christmas Eve mixer, Latkapalooza, at Obscura. No cover, no crappy Christmas music and no ugly sweaters, plus drink specials and door prizes. Open to ages 21 to 45. Before you go, indulge in some traditional Christmas Eve Chinese from Blue Gibbon at Rockdale Temple (8501 Ridge Road, Amberley Village, RSVP to 513-891-9902), with a family-friendly film screening. Then skip (or ignore) the meat sweats and head to the bar.
8:30-11:55 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 24. Free. Obscura, 645 Walnut St., Downtown, jewishcincinnati.org.
