Savor the Avenue Thursday March 26 There is something wonderful about large family dinner. The large table filled with food, the people all around laughing and enjoying each other’s company make gathering for dinner one of my favorite memories growing up. What if you could sit with hundreds of people around the largest dinner table Florida has to offer? The 7th annual Savor the Avenue is just that! In Downtown Delray, the Boca Raton Magazine and Delray Beach Downtown Development set up one long table stretching 5 blocks on Atlantic Avenue. With 18 restaurants participating, reserve your seat for a four course meal from your favorite dining spot. Space is limited, so make your reservation today. What’s more, $3.00 from every reservation is being donated to Delray’s Campaign for Grade Level Reading. This program helps local children to reach their potential by providing books and tutoring to children in need. Many children throughout the city are not able to read at their grade level and need
the extra support to learn. For more information and a full list of menus please visit the website at Here
