09 Feb Living the {fly} Life – Seventeen Below

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 🙂
