"Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, wine in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!" -- unknown

This past Thursday evening, Mike Street of GreasyGuide.com hosted a fabulous Blogger’s Experience at the new Harlem hot spot Seventeen Below.  This place reminds me of an After Hours spot, very unsuspecting from the outside…. but very goth-romantic/ chic on the inside.  I can see myself going there on a date… providing they don’t let the “Mocha” crowd in.

The service was friendly… but I would have to go back again during non-event hours to confirm this.  However, I had no reason to believe it would be anything other satisfactory on my next visit.

They know the way to my heart… creating a drink after the Queen!

You all know what is so cool about this… they tailored each drink after all the individual Blogger’s personalities.  My camera didn’t pick up on the true  color of my drink…. which was pink.  It was fruity and feisty…. I loved it.   My brother in blog StevieNYC, his drink was lemon lime to match the tone of his site.  All of the Blogger’s there were pleased with their drinks.

Ok, so…. I am not biased over the drink, lollll.   I definitely recommend everyone go check this spot out.  It’s something different, it’s something new and refreshing.  I would like to give a special shout out to Surayya Barbee, one of the proprietors of Seventeen Below.  She was so gracious and charming.  Also, Mr. Lopez…. who was also great at keeping things flowing throughout the evening.  Kudo’s to them both.

In parting, I would like to mention all the wonderful Blogger’s I got to meet/mingle with that evening:
