Serious Eats’ coverage of last night’s Johnny Iuzzini and Dave Arnold event focuses on an amazing-sounding drink called the Swedish Chef (described as “a house-distilled aquavit pumped with tiny bubbles”) but fails to mention the event’s location: The as-yet-unopened speakeasy at 643 Broadway that everyone has been calling Woodson and Ford. The event’s RSVP confirmation prohibited photography, but props to Serious Eats for snapping a pic of Iuzzini and Arnold at the bar that amounts to the first clear interior shot of the space. Antique cash register? Check. Taxidermied wolf head? Check. Tin ceiling? Affirmative.
