What are we doing today, Brain?

Well...I'm not Pinky...so obviously not taking over the world. But, if you're on a diet like myself (and every other girl in the MIA...including those that are ALREADY skinny...but like to talk about how pudgy they are)....then trying to have fun while sidelining some calories can seem just as daunting.

No need to worry, Level 25's Skinny Thursdays are here to save the day! According to our friends at DailyCandy, the happy hour festivity offers drinks and snacks under 200 calories (um...almost sounds like the 100 calories packs...but better!), including $7 cocktails like the Skim Rose (Belvedere vodka, fresh cranberry juice, Moët & Chandon, Imperial, and fresh raspberries). So cheap drinks and eats that won't necessarily cancel out calories burned at boxing? Sigh...I've died and gone to a broke, dieters alcohol heaven.

But, WAIT! If you're not worried about the calories, but still want to drink on the cheap while supporting some sort of theme or inner desire, then be sure to check out Level 25's other weekly happy hour offerings, which are part of the bar's "Elevate Your Week" happy hour series. Here's a quick rundown:

• Mojito Monday's: $6 Mojitos, Caipirinhas and Caprioskas to help you say goodbye to the Monday blues!
• Go Green Tuesdays: organic wines and Go Green menu to help chic, tree-huggers sip in style.
• Wine'Down Wednesdays: 50 percent off all glasses/bottles of wine and champagnes AND $5 glasses of wine...um, yeah, perfect for the winos!
• Skinny Thursdays: you know all the deets.
• Elevated Fridays: 50 percent off the entire wine, champagne and cocktail menu....plus, fab music to help you start the weekend all sauced up by 7:30 PM.

So, there you have it. A full week of great happy hour offerings from 5 - 8 PM. God bless this place!
