Happy hour deals: Get fondue, spend less cheddar

Where to go: The Melting Pot, a fondue restaurant where the classic dinner for two starts at $119, without drinks.

Yes, but: Go during happy hour and get the experience at a fraction of the price.

• Cheese and chocolate fondue for two are half off — just $12.50 each.
• They come with complementary dippers, including fruit, veggies, bread and chips.
• Add a glass of wine for $5 or a cocktail for $6.

What to order: There are four cheese choices. Alpine is the classic cheese fondue but the fiesta is a fun twist with salsa and jalapeños added to a cheddar cheese mix.

• For me, it's cheese over chocolate every single time but it's almost a shame not to try both at this price!

If you go: 5650 E. 86th St.

• Happy hour is 4-6pm Sunday to Friday.
