Today Would Be a Day for Woodmans
6/7/06
Today would be a lovely day to hang out with Emily at Woodman's and chatter away the rainy not-so-summer day. Poo to doing nothing due to
1. lack of cool places to go in serious rain storm
2. serious rainstorm
3. low funds
Woodmans. I miss it very very much. What is it? Oh, just tone of the best little bars in the world. The unofficial name is the "grad student bar." This means the crowd was usually cool people age mid twenties to mid 30s, maybe a little younger, maybe a little older.
Abe and Mark opened the bar and restaurant last May. It's gorgeous inside, all hardwood and finshed so shiny, you could glide along it. Abe is a great bartender who shakes your hand, remembers your name and always asks how things are going, remembering key details about your life, if you have ever told them to him.
Mark likes to experiment with the menu, which he told me he developed just by trying things from restaurants everywhere and putting his favorites on the menu. He told me this during a game of A$$hole I played at his apartment with his girlfriend K ate, and our mutual friends Ste ve and An na.
The best feature of Woodman's are the martinis. Each glass is pre-chilled for you once you order you drink. The ingredients are deliberated with care. They offer all sorts: straight, dry, vodka, flirtini, cosmopolitan, mango, chocolate, girl scout cookie (THAT was too good, by the way) and lots more.
Mostly though, it's the ambiance. You know how people always say they're happy with a good bottle of wine and some good conversation? That happens all the time at Woodmans.
