Azuza

On any occasion, Azuza is a party. The Washington Heights hookah bar keeps a neon light in rotation as much as the DJ rotates the latest 808-heavy hip-hop hits. On weeknights, most tables are full of work besties who have stayed late through the end of their Happy Hour. And while the food here is just OK, you’ll be served a surprisingly balanced cocktail like the Blue MF. Come solo and puff away at the bar, or show up with your friends before the sun goes down, which guarantees your group a table with no wait.
