The Finderz

While December is mostly known for holidays, there’s another word that starts with ‘h’ that this month is also known for… HOSTING!  With the loads of family and friends that come in, it’s hard to find new and exciting places to take them.  One of our readers, Anna, asked us to suggest a few wine bars in the Midtown area of Manhattan.  The area is perfect for commuters since it’s a shot away from Times Square so you won’t have to worry about your non-New Yorker friends and family getting lost!

So uncork a bottle of red (or white) and check out our list of toast-worthy locations.  As always, let us know if you’d like us to find something for you!

Ayza Wine & Chocolate Bar – 11 W 31st St @ 5th Ave (212-714-2992)
For those who want to indulge in a little bit more than wine, this bar is stocked with another one of my guilty pleasures:  chocolate.

Sofia Wine Bar – 242 E 50th St near 2nd Ave (212-888-8660)
This Midtown East bar has a vast selection; with more than half available by the glass!

Divine Bar – 236 W 54th St btw Broadway & 8th (212-265-WINE)
My favorite place on the list because not only do they have a kick butt wine library but also an International Cheese selection – could it get any better?

Morrell Wine Bar & Cafe – 1 Rockefeller Plaza (212-262-7700)
With auctions, tasting events, and more; Morrell’s is a one-stop shop for wine lovers of every kind.
