Girls' Night Out!


By Tuesday night most of us are ready for, at the very least, a glass of wine and some relaxation. If you’re looking for a little break with the girls Ayza Wine & Chocolate Bar is the perfect place!

Ayza’s Girls’ Night Out is offered every Tuesday. To participate simply make a reservation and type the code Girls’ Night Out in a special requests' box to receive a complimentary Chocolate Shot (delicious) and a Belgian Chocolate Covered Strawberry (also delicious). To add to the night’s delight, make sure to check in on FourSquare. They reward you with a glass of wine! I would go with the Tropical Sangria, it’s very good!

My partners in food and I found out about Ayza via Facebook last winter. If you liked them on FB you would get a complimentary glass of wine. Of course we were sold! Since then the gang and I often frequent this half wine bar and half restaurant. We go to Azya especially for the chocolate martinis which are accompanied with a truffle by Jacques Torres. Fan favorite is the Raspberry Chocolate Martini. Absolutely yummy!! It’s a little pricey ($16 a pop), but so worth it.

During our latest visit, we were welcomed with a spiced wine in a sake cup that warms you up from the cold.

Next we went with our usual cheese and charcuterie plate. You’re given a choice of three, five or eight cheeses, and two meats. We went with Aged Manchego, French Brie and Valdeon, and the Sopressata and Prosciutto di Parma. The cheese plates are served with fresh berries, guava paste caper berries and toasted bread.

Ayza is conveniently located in midtown near Penn Station and newly opened a location in the West Village (which I have yet to visit).

Best part is, even during winter you can enjoy outdoor seating under the heatlamps. Honestly, once you've been sitting for a while you'll forget that you're sitting outside.
