Living the {fly} Life – Seventeen Below

Posted by Fly on a Dime on Feb 9, 2010 in Dining on a Dime, Drinks, dining

A few days ago I was invited to attend a Bloggers Night Out at Seventeen Below as a part of Social Media Week. I was tempted to head straight home and down another cup of TheraFlu but I’m so glad I didn’t. I met fellow bloggers and got an intimate peak at Seventeen Below, a restaurant/lounge in Harlem.

I was immediately impressed when I sat at the bar and noticed all of the drink specials were named after the bloggers in attendance. I couldn’t believe I was actually drinking a “Living Fly on a Dime.” And let me tell you, it was yum-tastic. I sampled a few others, but of course mine was the best.

The food was equally as good. Even though my cold resulted in a loss of appetite, I chowed down on chicken quesadillas, nachos with shrimp and my favorite, the calamari. My stomach was pleased. And the meals normally average just $10-$15 for nice portions.

Beyond the food and drinks, it was the ambiance that impressed me. Upholstered walls. Sconces and chandeliers. Floor length glam portrait of Diana Ross. Speakeassy vibe.

It really is worth checking out if you’re in the Harlem area and looking for a {fly} affordable spot.*

*No, I’m not just saying that because they fed me :)

Dining Fever

I love eating out. The fatty in me would try a new restaurant Every.Single.Day, but that would leave me with a nonexistent 401K. No bueno! Luckily, DiningFever.com makes enjoying yummy food a bit easier on the wallet.

The new site has deals for up to 25% off your restaurant tab and you can search by neighborhood or cuisine so it’s super easy to find cheap(er) eats.

For now, Dining Fever only offers discounts for NYC establishments but they’re expanding to other cities.
