Stop racking your brain for things to be thankful for (NKOTB reunion tour? sequin leggings?).
Here’s an obvious choice: Woodward opens tomorrow.
The sleek double-decker resto has two sun-splashed dining rooms with marble-mosaic floors, dark wood accents, and a cabinet of curiosities.
If you’re not sipping cocktails at one of the bars, slide into a black armchair, leather banquettes, or white wooden Windsor chair and pick from chef Mark Goldberg’s modern tavern fare.
Dig into the short rib pot roast with parsnips and carrots or a lobster salad sandwich with shaved fennel and citrus aioli. If you’re an early riser, the breakfast menu with six different hash selections.
Dishes are meant for sharing, but you can dine solo, too.
Thank god.
