Ayza Wine and Chocolate Bar: Do you go cuckoo for cocoa? Whether it’s chocolate, wine or high-calorie cheese that awakens your inner hedonist, Ayza will have you sinning in no time. Yes, this West Village outpost of the Midtown date spot brings the most feminine of vices downtown, and is ideal for that romantic make-up or an indulgent sess with your stressed-out lady friends. Mix-and-match 3-8 options from various menu categories to chow down on everything from meze to Manchego, or jump on their extensive chocolate options (including fountain-dippers, of course, 8 for $18). Grab your sweetie a chocolate martini (served with a Jacques Torres truffle, $15) or come by on Sunday Couples Night to enjoy a rose-petal-scattered, candlelit table and a complimentary truffle for each of you after the meal. Of course, the dim lighting and cherry wood tables only enhance the feeling that love is in the air, but a center communal table encourages social solo visits, too. Which is great—as long as you’re happy socializing with an entire restaurant full of love birds.
