Radiation Therapy Should Be a Program…Not Just a Place Nowadays, it seems everywhere you turn there’s a physician-owned, freestanding radiation oncology center popping up. Convenient? Maybe. Comprehensive? Not likely. When it comes to radiation therapy, patients — and their families — should expect the latest and widest range of radiation technology. But they should also have access to innovative approaches to treatment and support that provides care in all aspects of the journey through a cancer diagnosis. At Boca Raton Regional Hospital’s Eugene M. & Christine E. Lynn Cancer Institute, you’ll find it all…and all in one setting.

Such as a spectrum of radiation therapies that is among the most complete in the field, including the Accuray CyberKnife® M6TM System.

Such as Multimodality Cancer Care, where a patient meets with the entire medical team in one visit. Such as oncology social workers, nurse navigators, nutritional experts and a host of innovative support programs for both patients and loved ones.

All designed to be the most comprehensive and connected radiation therapy available in medicine today. Radiation therapy at the Lynn Cancer Institute. It’s a program, not just a place.

LAURA SIMON

I do not know how you did it! I finally went to the newspaper stand on Atlantic and found it! It is a sweet and insightful story about three very different and yet very similar couples [“Love Actually,” March/April]. Bob and I are humbled to be included in these inspiring and heartfelt moments in lives where love does conquer all! The photos are fun and show creativity, catching the couples as their stories unfold. Your approach is so different for each of us—how do you do that? Thank you so much for penning a story that found our essence (and I suspect the others also) and kept us real. Perhaps, in no small way, it is because you are real, like the VELVETEEN RABBIT!

VEGGIE RAGE In one of your Delray magazines [May/June 2017 issue], you list “50 Things We Love About Delray,” plus things you don’t like. You listed the fact that you don’t like Brussels sprouts that were on many a restaurant menu in Delray. Some of our favorite restaurants have taken the item off their menus to the upset of many of us. Why do you try to influence restaurants just because you don’t like a certain food? It’s unfair to the rest of us, as many of us enjoy and love Brussels sprouts. You’ve upset not only us but others who enjoy this delicious and extremely nutritious vegetable rather than always having the “same old, same old” green beans or spinach. Brussels sprouts gave us some variety and something special. Please help us bring back Brussels sprouts. Lots of people love them. Carol Chandler Delray beach Local restaurateurs: Are you listening?

Summertime The world is ours again, and this is how much we love Delray

ummer is here, and an offshore breeze rustles the palms—or is that the collective sigh from thousands of us in Palm Beach County who see the signs of a new day dawning? There are empty spaces in the front row in the Publix parking lot. You see three people you know on the five-block walk from the Colony to El Camino. There are two barstools left at Rack’s during happy hour. Drive time to PetSmart went from 18 minutes to 11. There is sunlight at 6:30 a.m., and your bathing suit hangs in the shower on Sunday nights. It is summer, finally, and the crazed winter season is behind us, at least for a while. Oh, it’s not like the old days when you could see a stark difference the week after Easter; so many people are flooding into Florida these days the notion of a “season” at all will soon be quaint at best. But it’s here for now, and it’s only fitting that we celebrate our summer with another edition of “50+ Things We Love About Delray.” And summer is one of them. Summer is hot, but not as hot as most places in the country; we have afternoon storms and trade winds and the ocean and white clothes. We have hurricanes now and again, but days to get ready. Other than that, the place is all ours—and we love it. This year, we will especially love what we hope may be a toned-down Atlantic Avenue (is that even possible?), less traffic on Linton, our new beach sidewalks, slipping into the Sandbar or the Sail on a Saturday afternoon, and more and more and more. This is our time of year, and you’ve got the magazine in your hands to prove it. Check out all the ways we love Delray—and all the places you can go this summer without ever leaving the state (page 58). Enjoy your long, lazy days in our perfect part of the world, and we’ll see you next time.

5 (MORE) REASONS I LOVE DELRAY: [ 1 ] Chickpeas in Frito dust at Death or Glory [ 2 ] Planting glad bulbs from the Delray Affair [ 3 ] Maria Nhambu [ 4] D riving around Lake Ida and picking out what houses I wish I lived in

Core Medical Group Thanks First Responders For Efforts During Opioid Epidemic 3/23/2017

n Palm Beach County, heroin and other opioids are having a devastating impact on our children and our community. These drugs are also having a dramatic impact on our first responders and emergency room staffs who are seeing young people dying from overdoses almost every day. In Palm Beach County, the number of overdoses-and subsequent overdose deathsis spiraling out of control. Just this year, Palm Beach County hit an ominous milestone in March with 10 overdose deaths reported in a single day. In Delray Beach alone, overdoses have skyrocketed from one in February of 2015 compared to 55 in February of this year. In 2016 there were close to 700 overdoses in Delray Beach compared to around 200 the year before. In addition, there were 65 heroin deaths in Delray Beach in 2016 and nine during the first two months of this year.

Paramedics in Delray Beach alone respond to an average of two overdoses a day. Since March Delray Beach police officers have used Naloxone – better known by the brand name Narcan – to help revive individuals who are overdosing. In just the last 10 months of 2016, Narcan was used 80 times by police officers to revive those who were overdosing. “Our first responders are undervalued and their work during this heroin epidemic is often overlooked,” says Sidney Gordon, founder of the Core Medical Group. “Our community should be grateful for the efforts of these men and women.” As a way of showing thanks for the work of first responders and help them cope with the stress that comes with dealing with overdoses on a daily basis, Core Medical Group – with the help of APS Pharmacy – is donating 100 vitamin IV infusions between May 15 through June 30 to Delray Beach and Boca Raton first responders. The infusions deliver vitamins, amino acids, minerals and other nutrients into the bloodstream quickly and can https://openclipart.org/download/232353/FirstRespondersThree.svg

“OUR COMMUNITY SHOULD BE GRATEFUL FOR THE EFFORTS OF THESE MEN AND WOMEN.”

help improve energy levels and mental clarity while also enhancing sleep. Gordon praised the work of the Delray Beach Drug Task Force, a group of local representatives from businesses and the recovery community who work hand in hand with community leaders to address issues related to the drug epidemic. He is also urging others in the business communities of both Delray Beach and Boca Raton to support the first-responder community. While there is no way of measuring the emotional toll this epidemic is taking on first responders, community leaders say they are sure many are impacted. In Delray Beach, Police Chief Jeff Goldman is so concerned that he has brought in a mental health counselor to meet with officers. There is a special concern for young officers who are repeatedly seeing the traumatic sight of someone dying before their eyes – over and over again. In some cases, the officers aren’t much older than the victims. What can you do to help? The best thing you can do, according to police and fire chiefs, is remember to thank your first responders. “That means a lot to them,” one law enforcement official said.

A SLOW BOAT TO KENYA

If you think waiting five days for a regular shipment from Amazon is an eternity, imagine waiting three months for your shipment to arrive! That’s how long it will take the 60,000 books collected by Project Humanity, a nonprofit based in Key West, to reach their African destination. Each one of those books has the power to change lives, especially in a place like sub-Saharan Africa, where the World Bank says almost half of all young women are illiterate. “Access to books offers access to different possibilities,” Isabella Rowan, educational programs and volunteer manager at the Delray Beach Public Library, says. Unlike the books, which were loaded on a cargo ship headed for Kenya, Rowan will take a plane when she travels to Nairobi in June. From there, she’ll still have a long 10-hour road trip to the remote villages lining the shores of Lake Victoria, where schools have dirt floors, no indoor plumbing—and no books. That’s where she and other volunteers from Project Humanity will establish a network of small libraries stocked with a boatload of books.

DAMON HIGGINS/THE PALM BEACH POST VIA ZUMA WIRE)

You didn’t have to go to Parkland or Washington, D.C. to participate in the March for Our Lives earlier this year. Approximately 1,200 people showed support for the survivors of the February mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School and their calls for change by marching down Atlantic Avenue from Old School Square to the beach. Heading into summer, students across the country are making plans to ensure the Never Again movement launched in the wake of the tragedy doesn’t fade away. Here in Delray, voter registration drives will be part of the ongoing efforts, says Lisa Mullen, whose daughter Taylor, a student at St. Andrew’s School in Boca Raton, was among the organizers of the local march. Registered voters must be 18 years old, U.S. citizens and legal residents of Florida, but you can preregister at age 16, a fact many students are taking advantage of.

ISLAND INSPIRATION You have to crack a few eggs if you want to make an omelet and, if you wanted to enjoy the Bahamas’ iconic Sky Juice, you’d need to crack a few coconuts—until Delray resident Matthew Flack and his partners introduced the world to Coco Sky Coconut Crème Liqueur. According to Tru Bahamian Food Tours, “Sky Juice is a very simple, yet striking, drink, somehow packing a big punch with only three ingredients.” Those three ingredients—coconut water, sweet cream and gin—are at the heart of Coco Sky. Tempted to try some? You can find the boutique beverage by the bottle at Pat’s Liquor in Delray Beach or by the drink at Sweetwater Restaurant and Bar in Boynton Beach.

SHARK BAIT

PARK IT!

Back in the 16th or 17th century, you might have been able to find a fossilized dragon’s tongue lying on the beach. According to Sharkopedia (yes, it’s a thing), in 1666, a guy by the name of Nicolaus Steno figured out they weren’t tongues but teeth—shark’s teeth, in fact. Very, very large shark’s teeth. While great white sharks dine on seals and dolphins today, these teeth came from a shark big enough to eat whales—the megalodon, which paleontologists say is the largest shark ever to swim in our oceans. Fortunately for us, they became extinct about 2.6 million years ago*. Even more fortunately, you can see what the jaw of one of these monsters looks like this summer, as the Sandoway Discovery Center presents Shark Months. (When you have more than 100 different jaws to display, as well as fossilized saw shark teeth and Hawaiian shark-tooth weapons along with the Sandoway’s popular shark feedings, a single Shark Month just isn’t enough, so June, July and August are Shark Months at Sandoway.) 142 S. Ocean Blvd., Delray Beach. 561/2747263, sandoway.org.

You told yourself you were only going to spend an hour at the beach, then you were going to tackle that to-do list. Sixty blissful minutes later, nothing on that list seems as important as a little more beach time. If you have to trudge all the way up to the car to plug the meter, you might as well just go, right? Now, thanks to Parkmobile, you can get the extra time you’re craving without leaving your beach chair. Download the Parkmobile app and you’re on your way. There’s a $0.35 fee for each transaction—but that’s a small price to pay for foiling the parking police. You’ll be able to use the Parkmobile app all around town, including the Old School Square Garage.

*After investigating claims that a megalodon had capsized a charter boat off the coast of South Africa, which they rated as false, Snopes said, “The megalodon species of shark did exist, and it’s not absolutely impossible that an undocumented species of huge shark lives in the oceans’ depths (after all, it was only fairly recently that scientists documented the existence of the giant squid).”

AFTER DARK: Death or Glory Those of us lucky enough to actually live in sunny South Florida tend to look down our noses at the tourists sipping those tropical drinks with the little umbrellas in them. But be honest—when the sun is shining relentlessly and you’re working on a warm beer, they start looking pretty good. Enter Death or Glory, with its groovy Tiki Bar and a roster of remarkably sophisticated tropical cocktails just in time for summer. If you’re in the mood for something cool and classic, bartender Ryan recommends the Mai Tai, a not-too-sweet throwback to the original that’s made with a blend of Agricole and Jamaican rums. Interested in exploring new flavors? Ask Ryan to serve up a glass full of Elusive Dreams. With Plantation 3 Star and Plantation Pineapple rums as well as pineapple, banana, cinnamon and lime, it’s reminiscent of a daiquiri—but all grown up. If rum isn’t your thing, consider A Bridge Across an Endless Sea, made with Plymouth Gin. And, if someone sees you sipping a drink adorned with a slice of pineapple and a flower, don’t worry. What happens at the Tiki Bar, stays at the Tiki Bar. 116 N.E. Sixth Ave., Delray Beach, 561/808-8814

IT’S BETTER AT THE BEACH

The next time you head to the beach (it’s been way too long, right?), be sure to check out the new lifeguard stands. Oh, we know they were expensive but look at the bells and whistles: glare-free windows that allow lifeguards a better view and hurricane shutters that can stand up to a storm. Not to mention solar panels that can power radios and fans. And because this is Delray—a town bursting with style—each tower sports a different blend of colors. If the new towers make you smile, just imagine how the lifeguards feel!

ACTING UP It may be summer, traditionally a slow time for Palm Beach County’s arts organizations, but Arts Garage isn’t letting up on the gas. Among other things on its calendar is Set the Stage. Call it a unique summer camp or simply a fabulous opportunity for kids to put down their screens and engage their imaginations. Either way, Set the Stage will let kids learn firsthand what it takes to put on a show. They’ll do it all— everything from writing a script and designing the set to performing—in one of two four-week sessions: June 11–July 7 for ages 7-12; July 9–Aug. 4 for ages 13-17. Research has also shown that drama students tend to score higher on SAT tests than kids who aren’t involved in the arts. But whatever you do, don’t tell the kids that this performing arts experience is good for them! It’s OK if they just think they’re having a ton of fun at summer camp. 94 N.E. Second Ave., Delray Beach.

SPOTLIGHT: ALEJANDRO BORRERO

n 2001, Alejandro Borrero left his native Colombia to accept a job in Boca Raton—but it was Delray Beach the young architect and his wife, Ana Maria, fell in love with. So when Borrero launched a solo career as an architect, this is where he focused his energies. For the past five years, Borrero has been making a name for himself on innovative projects such as the new entry plaza for the Palm Beach Zoo & Conservation Society in West Palm Beach. The collaboration with the Michael Singer Studio fully embraces sustainability, a cause that is dear to his heart. (Visit borreroarch.com to also see the custom houses he’s done.) And somehow, between raising a family and running a business, he finds time to serve as vice chair of the city’s Public Art Advisory Board—because he believes it’s important to give back to the community.

WHAT ATTRACTED HIM TO DELRAY: It has a unique vibe, it’s

creative, it’s vibrant, it’s informal—and you get all sorts of interesting characters. It has the charm of a small town, but it has a more cosmopolitan vibe, too.

WHERE HE AND HIS FAMILY LIKE TO GO IN DELRAY: Our two

favorite places are the Delray Beach Children’s Garden and the Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens. The Children’s Garden is a place where children can interact with nature in a way that is unscripted, that allows them to explore and be themselves but learn about nature and sustainability along the way.

WHAT CHALLENGES HE FACES WORKING IN ESTABLISHED NEIGHBORHOODS: When you are working with the existing urban fabric, there has to be a balance. Although we want [the home] to be brought up to cur-

june/juy/august 2018

Hotlist JJA18.indd 23

rent standards, we still want to preserve what makes Delray charming and unique. That has to do with the scale as well as how things are done. We don’t want Delray to have McMansions everywhere.

CURRENT PUBLIC ART PROJECTS HE’S WORKING ON: I’m

currently involved with the Heritage Here

project. We are developing a series of public murals to be located on the sound walls along I-95, where it abuts the West Atlantic communities. We want to make it a participatory process, where we get the community involved. We want the murals to be filled with the character, the colors and the culture of the neighborhoods.

Rosemary Ave., Suite 250, West Palm Beach When: June 29-30, various show times Cost: $27 Contact: 561/833-1812, palmbeachimprov.com Part of the stoner school of stand-up comedy whose graduates include Doug Benson and Dave Chappelle, T.J. Miller is awfully hardworking for a pothead. In his early days in the cutthroat alternative-comedy scene in New York, he would play 10 sets a night, honing his craft until HBO came a-callin’, in the form of his 2017 comedy special “Meticulously Ridiculous.” A familiar face in movies such as “Deadpool” and “Ready Player One,” along with the first four seasons of the tech-nerd sitcom “Silicon Valley,” this selfdescribed nihilist and absurdist is at his most authentic when he’s unscripted. His acceptance speech at the 2015 Critics’ Choice Awards, in which he insulted the concept of awards shows, has become legendary—along with the time he tickled Stephen Colbert’s cheek with skeleton hands, and showed up on “Conan” shirtless and wielding an axe. As he told Colbert in one of his more lucid moments, “Since tragedy permeates our everyday life, comedy is the opiate I offer, as a drug dealer, to you.” 28

The Avenue isn’t as clogged, tables are bountiful and reservations are often unnecessary. And to sweeten the deal for local foodies, our finest establishments will be offering discounts for one week only at the third-annual Downtown Delray Beach Restaurant Week. Always wanted to try Prime but your wallet isn’t as fat as the steaks? Now’s your chance to sample the city’s best gastronomy on a budget: Although the list of participating restaurants has not been announced as of this writing, it usually includes standbys like 50 Ocean, Deck 84, Dada, Lemongrass, Salt7 and The Office offering threecourse prix fixe lunches for $20 and under, and three-course prix fixe dinners for $40 and under.

But we’re thrilled that, unlike most communities, we have a summer market, period. This marks the third year of, hopefully, many more for this CRA initiative, which bolsters attendance to Delray during the sleepy offseason. It also supports a neighborhood on the rise: Instead of Old School Square Park, where the Winter GreenMarket is situated, the summer version takes place in the heart of The Set, a historic but emerging corridor between downtown and I-95. After you pick up your artisanal dog food and oil-scented soap and raw pistachio paste and organic asparagus, take a stroll around the community, where local leaders are hoping to establish a groovy, work-live-play hub.

Reared by an arborist father and classical-musician mother, the five brothers bunked in the same chaotic room, the two sisters in another. Soon enough, a wellspring of rustic music burbled from their close-knit quarters, with home schooling allowing plenty of time for lessons in rhythm and harmony. Naming their band after their surname, the Hunts ply an alt-folk trade that will appeal to fans of smart, radio-friendly pop like Of Monsters of Men, the Lumineers and Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeroes. Mandolin, piano, ukulele, banjo and drums form layer cakes of melody, each instrument building delectably on the last. Now in their 20s, the Hunts have already been heard in nationwide commercials and Starbucks’ in-store playlist; see them play cuts from their 2015 release Those Younger Days as well as new material. june/july/august 2018

Veterans and active military personnel will raise the city’s brand-new 60-foot flag at 5 p.m. to kick off the festivities, followed by live entertainment from Solid Brass Band, a horn-driven octet playing classic brass music from Stevie Wonder, Chicago and others; and the Jazz Ambassadors of the U.S. Army Field Band, a 19-member ensemble playing everything from jazz to bebop to Latin. A grand fireworks display, choreographed to music, ends the night on a bang—many bangs.

Max’s Harvest

One of Delray’s original farm-to-table restaurants is still wowing us

AARON BRISTOL

t’s five minutes and a nice stroll from Atlantic Avenue, but Max’s Harvest has always been at least five years ahead of the pack. The brainchild of SoFla restaurateur Dennis Max (now no longer part of the restaurant), it seems like a small place compared to the bigger blown-out new restaurants popping up with searchlights and streamers tooting their own horns. Max always let the food in his venues do the talking, and the plates prepared with the creative eye of Executive Chef Blair Wilson are no exception. The dishes arrive in quiet beauty for the first act, like the king crab wontons on a bed of pickled peppers, roasted corn and ginger ponzu sauce. Then the flavors go to work for the second act, a combo of savory and slightly sweet tastes in this case. The chives are not mere decoration; they add a small bite on the back of each forkful. The urge is to order a second plate and call it a night. But that would be forgoing other items that take locally produced and sourced ingredients to interesting heights. The sweet corn hushpuppies come four to a tiny cast-iron

pan. I could swear there’s cinnamon in there, but no—the de-seeded jalapeños, corn, aged cheddar and buttermilk vin for dipping make me a liar. When Wilson started here in June 2017, he had some big shoes to fill, the former chef a popular figure. He can relax now. Since taking over the kitchen, Wilson has put his own spin on some familiar dishes—and improved them. Try the St. Louis ribs, tender and zesty with chipotle honey, with crispy edges to nibble. Or the diver scallops, extra fresh with golden cubes of fall squash, placed on a thin puddle of apple gastrique. The wild mushroom gnocchi was rich comfort food, the flavor seared in each small piece, the Swiss chard and pork belly gremolata making it lip-licking good. Eat inside or outside; you can’t miss in either place. The only lackluster element was the spotty service. Dishes moved in and out at a good pace, but then time stopped, and dessert/coffee/check were a imtussle to get, despite our being the only table in the im mediate area. I have to confess the hot ricotta doughnuts beighelped make up for that, being light, airy and a lot like beig nets. Dunk them in dulce de leche and espresso dark chocolate cups, and then work them off during the stroll back to the car.

PinkSlip Duo

From protest folk to Woodstock rock, Joan Friedenberg and Bill Bowen keep yesterday’s music alive

oan Friedenberg and Bill Bowen, who perform as the retro folk-rock act PinkSlip Duo, never actually received the dreaded pink slip. They both retired willingly from their jobs—Friedenberg as a linguistics professor who taught at FAU, among other universities, and Bowen as a sportswriter and copy editor who put in 23 years at the Palm Beach Post. But the name fits. As Friedenberg likes to say, “We had jobs, and now we have a band.” Bowen and Friedenberg are not involved romantically—they live in separate houses, in Delray and Boynton respectively—but their chemistry is infectious onstage, as they flirt through the love songs. And they play a lot of those: Teenagers during the Summer of Love, their sets are comprised of boomer staples from the Everly Brothers to Carly Simon to the Beach Boys, usually with Bowen on guitar and Friedenberg on keyboard. “Most of the people that come to our shows are in their 60s or older,” Bowen says. “And they just love it. They come up to us afterwards and say, ‘You took me back to my childhood.’” “I think, also, that when you go to venues that cater to older people, they think it’s all about show tunes and Sinatra,” adds Friedenberg, about PinkSlip’s popularity. “I don’t hear Peter, Paul and Mary and Simon & Garfunkel.” PinkSlip began eight years ago as a bar duo, but the musicians eventually tired of performing their intricate arrangements to inattentive drinkers. An opportunity to produce a multimedia tribute to Woody Guthrie, in 2013, at the Lake Worth Playhouse changed their trajectory: Within months, Friedenberg and Bowen had developed “edutainment” concerts about Guthrie and John Lennon that combined their heartfelt covers with narrated slideshows of artist histories and trivia. They shopped the concept to FAU’s Lifelong Learning Center in Jupiter, which embraced the idea immediately. The Delray Beach Playhouse, FAU in Boca, the Mizner Park Cultural Arts Center and an influx of senior communities followed suit, booking PinkSlip shows like “Bleecker Street: The Greenwich Village Music Scene of the ‘60s” (Bob Dylan, Pete Seeger, Phil Ochs); “British Invasion: The Music that Took Over Our Lives from 1964-

1967” (The Beatles, The Zombies, Dusty Springfield) and “Remembering Woodstock: Songs From a Seminal Event in an Upstate Pasture” (The Who, Jimi Hendrix, Sly & the Family Stone). “We also try to bring ourselves in, and what we were doing at the time,” Friedenberg says. “For Woodstock, I have a picture of my mother and me trying to get to Woodstock. We have a picture of Bill with a Bakelite radio listening to the Everly Brothers in Georgia. The audience gets a kick out of that.” But for Friedenberg and Bowen, the most gratifying aspect of the band might be its stewardship of a bygone musical tradition that has mostly gone underground: protest folk. PinkSlip’s origin story is rooted in music with an activist pulse; they met at an ACLU benefit luncheon in 2010, in which Friedenberg, then playing in a different duo, corralled Bowen, then performing as a solo act, into singing “Blowin’ in the Wind” with her. Eight years later, PinkSlip premiered “Fanning the Flames: Protest Songs that Make the U.S. Great.” “I think people feel the need to hear some of those messages again, because of the political situation right now in the country,” Friedenberg says. “So when they hear these songs, it sounds like they were written this year.” Bowen and Friedenberg keep the tradition alive not just through their tribute concerts; they also occasionally write their own songs in the spirit of Phil Ochs and John Prine, when the moment calls for it. At All People’s Day in Pompey Park this year, they played a new song Bowen penned in response to Parkland and other gun massacres, to the tune of Neil Young’s Kent State protest classic “Ohio:” “Misfit suicide is all the rage / semi-automatics from gun shows; a blaze of glory, on the front page / 49 dead in Orlando.” PinkSlip’s throwback sounds and novel presentation continue to attract new venues; Bowen estimates this past March was the duo’s busiest month yet, with three to four shows per week. They’re taking the summer off, but their slate of fall shows is already booming, with October engagements in Boynton Beach, Lantana and Boca Raton. “The first couple of years, I didn’t realize how it was going to take off,” Bowen says. “This year and last year, it’s been like working. It’s like we’re not retired anymore.”

Tony Allerton

Long before Delray became a recovery nexus, this compassionate nonprofit director has been taking all the right steps

o the more than 750 people in recovery who walk through the doors of the Crossroads Club every day, Tony Allerton may just be the nameless “old guy in the little office.” Few visitors from out of state know that Allerton has been a fixture at the club since the first meeting was held 35 years ago. Many have no idea that it was Allerton—in recovery longer than quite a few have been alive—who piloted the renovations to an old city storage building in 2006 to create the club’s most recent home, which now hosts about 160 meetings a week. Still others have no idea that Allerton is both the executive director of the nonprofit organization that runs the club and the general manager of the 7,200-square-foot facility with a half-million-dollar annual budget. In a place that hosts Alcoholics Anonymous, Gamblers Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous and even Overeaters Anonymous in meeting rooms where last names are never mentioned, Tony Allerton prefers to be anonymous. “There’s no title on my door, there’s no parking space, and that’s just the way I like it,” he says. Out in the community, however, it’s a different story. A resident of Delray since the late 1950s, Allerton has become synonymous with the Crossroads Club and vice versa. Just a few months away from his 90th birthday, Allerton remains a passionate advocate for the club, helping people to understand its role while soliciting sponsorships and other donations. “I have no shame asking for money for Crossroads,” he says. “It has a good reputation.” Founded by four men in recovery, Crossroads Club is neither a treatment center nor a sober home. It is simply a place that provides meeting space for legitimate 12-step groups that follow the process pioneered by Alcoholics Anonymous. “Those other organizations are in the life-saving business,” Allerton says. “We’re in the life maintenance business.” Crossroads, born when cocaine addiction was first surfacing, hosts a wide variety of programs, which separated it from other clubs that served mostly recovering alcoholics. Allerton is not a founder of the club, but he was at the first meeting Crossroads held—on Christmas Eve 1982, at its first of four locations—

and never left. “I’ve been involved in the operation of the Crossroads Club in one way or another for 35 years,” he says. In addition to being a key figure in the day-to day-operations—he’s there working five mornings a week serving as “chief cook and bottle washer”— Allerton has served on the board of the organization that runs Crossroads, including as president, and on the board of the CRC Recovery Foundation, Inc., a second nonprofit that owns the property off Lake Ida Road on which the club sits. He remains a member of the foundation board. “Tony is a guiding light at Crossroads,” says Larry Eaton, who chairs the board of the foundation. “Everyone looks up to him. He’s a real beacon of hope for others.” Along with his work at Crossroads, Allerton has been an active contributor to the community, serving on the board of the Delray Beach Playhouse, where he is a past president, and on the boards of Wayside House and the Drug Abuse Foundation of Palm Beach County. He has also been past chair of the Delray Beach Drug Task Force and was president of the Delray Beach Rotary Club. “I’m a big believer in community service,” he says. Growing up in Connecticut in the 1930s and ’40s, Allerton first came to Delray Beach in 1938 on a vacation with his parents. During that trip he met a local youngster on the beach who told him it didn’t snow here. “I went back and told my mother that ‘when I get to be a big boy, I’m going to live in Delray Beach,’” he recalls. Those who know Allerton well say it’s his passion for helping others that sets him apart—along with a surprisingly dry wit and a contagious laugh. “He has a wonderful spark of mischievousness and a genuine desire to see everyone who comes to Crossroads succeed,” says Steve English, Crossroads’ assistant executive director. “He’s a nucleus for us, an inspiration who gives life to other people’s ideas and activities.” For his part, Allerton says he is proud to be a part of Crossroads, which has served an estimated 7 million people since its beginnings. “The fact that the good Lord has allowed me to be an integral part of the recovery effort in Delray Beach is a blessing,” he says. “It’s given me an opportunity to see people who are struggling with addiction and watch them be reborn.”

Food & Drink TOP THREE COCKTAILS WITH STAR POWER • Salt7’s “Quaalude,” served with dry ice, has it all: Stoli, Malibu rum, blue Curaçao, Swedish fish and gummy bears, orange slices and more. • Death or Glory’s flaming “Beneath Jamaican Palms,” served in a sushi boat, is intended to be shared, like happiness. It’s largely Appleton signature rum, Campari, mango, cinnamon, blackstrap bitters and more. • Sweetwater’s Spanish Inquisition starts with fancy tequila, Cuarenta y Tres, lime, red pepper flakes, sage, the works.

BEST NEW RESTAURANT(S) It’s not lost on us that the two most exciting places to open in Delray in the last year are not on the Avenue proper, which has us wondering what is going on when it comes to dining on Main Street Delray. (Are we making that subtle shift to franchise land with both Rocco’s Tacos and incoming Louis Bossi’s occupying prime dining real estate these days?) Osteria Salina on Seventh, just south of Atlantic in the charming old house that has been host to a bevy of places, may just be the one that sticks in that location. Owners Tim and Cinzia Gaglio, veteran restaurateurs, have a sister restaurant by the same name in the Hamptons and feature a menu of authentic Sicilian family dishes, but with a “clean eating” farm-to-table spin. Loving it. And 50

Chef Blake Malatesta’s MIA out west has a menu we cannot get enough of, with apps like “meata-balls,” rock shrimp, a BLT and oysters—and mains from fresh seafood and Italian to a special “Butcher’s Cut” entree. West Delray never had it so good.

BLOODY MARY PAR EXCELLENCE The Whale Mary at the Whale’s Rib in Deerfield is an area staple (as are its whale fries, rock shrimp and conch chowder) with a flavorful Clamato-based recipe, a fat pink shrimp garnish and a seat at our favorite beach bar.

OUTDOOR DINING THAT DOES NOT INVOLVE GAS FUMES AND PEDESTRIANS The back porch at Max’s Harvest is our favorite room in the house.

COFFEE SHOP WE DO NOT UNDERSTAND The Capital One Café in a bank has us wondering if we should be depositing funds or withdrawing a latte. Oysters are $1 at Rack’s Happy Hour

TOP HAPPY HOURS RACK’S outdoor bar is a fave from 4 to 7 p.m. daily, with half off selected drinks, $1 oysters and a menu of HH bites, from barbecue ribs to fish tacos. OCEANS ONE packs them in all day long with downtown’s most affordable menu, including three-for-one drinks for a flat $10. CITY OYSTER, arguably Delray’s No. 1 hangout, offers half-off drinks and $1 off raw bar items daily, from 4 to 7 p.m. CUT 432 is still a local fave, with a “social hour” from 5 to 7 p.m. daily, special cocktails and small plates for $5, and house wine, spirits and draft beer for $4.

END OF AN ERA

Latitudes

32 East closes its doors, and a city mourns. It was the first New American and farm-to-table restaurant in Delray, with a menu that changed daily—and Chef Nick Morfogen, who put us on the map. His protégé John Thomas kept up the good work, but the times, they are a changin’, and this landmark for 22 years is out. Fingers crossed that owner Butch Johnson will do something else in the neighborhood.

Bamboo Fire captures the spirit of where we live like nobody’s business. This Caribbean family-owned spot tucked into Northeast Fourth Avenue is home cooking with an offshore spin, from the garlic tostones and curried grouper to the Guyanese chicken and oxtail and rotis and plantains. In a world of Brussels sprouts and burgers, Bamboo Fire feeds our island soul. Fresh produce at Grandview Public Market

Favorite New Food Trend BREAKFAST DEAL Everyone loves the Green Owl and Christina’s, but let’s not overlook Ellie’s 50’s Diner with great deals like the $8.97 Be-bop-a-lula with home fries, two scrambled eggs and toast.

REIMAGINED, AND IT WORKS Now occupying the hallowed Falcon House space (which has also been Ceviche and Max’s Social, among other places), Death or Glory seems to have carved out its own niche with creative popup bars and events, a snow machine at Christmas, a great back-porch tiki bar and more.

Think crispy fish tacos with chipotle crema; agave-chili-lime-glazed pork belly, chorizo with Oaxaca cheese and salsa verde, carne asada and more. This has become nothing less than a Palm Beach County tradition.

10 THINGS WRONG WITH DELRAY NOW

Most agree that new city manager Mark Lauzier is a keeper. He hit the ground running, moved to Delray right away and has been fast on the draw to tackle problems, like the recent mistaken FPL power pole installation and the CRA issue. (We are still waiting to find out why the commission acted so swiftly to disband the board.) He’s also already come up with an employee performance metric.

FAVORITE CONSPIRACY THEORY The ongoing Secret Meetings of the Old Boys Network (former elected officials, political strategists, random men-about-town) routinely steer the city’s destiny and manage its politics through a series of clandestine meetings and influence peddling. “Every time they sit down together, people think it’s to take over the world,” notes one politi86 cal observer. “Even when it’s just happy hour.”

SKO GUDIÑO AND OLD SCHOOL SQUARE

On a break from her Broadway stint as the sister-in-law to the title character in “Hamilton,” Mandy Gonzalez’s two-night stand at the Crest Theatre landed here a month after the tragedy at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, so she decided to make it extra-special by inviting some of the school’s survivors onstage for four songs. At least nine students took the stage, and the concert was as full of joy as it was tears. “You have to have both,” Gonzalez told People. “At 16 and 17 I was just thinking about what play to be in, but these kids are thinking about how to change gun laws. But this was an opportunity for them to have a night of just being kids.”

FEEL-GOOD EVENTS We love any event that leaves us laughing, and Laugh with the Library at the Marriott never disappoints. No-pressure whimsical buffet dining (including a whole station with nothing but little boxes of French fries) followed by a very funny duo of comedians and desserts and a candy bar. The format works, the comics are funny, and the library gets a boost. Another event we love is the annual Empty Bowls event that raises money for the Palm Beach County Food Bank. Guests make a donation to partake in a simple meal of bread, soup and water served by local community leaders, and receive a hand-crafted bowl made by students to take home as a powerful reminder that hunger is alive and well in Palm Beach County.

Color Me Badd at Honey

Delray Beach is one of them. Last summer, the Cornell Art Museum invested the better part of $1 million to transform its interior, courtesy of a donation from philanthropist Margaret Blume. The renovation encompassed everything from modified front and rear entrances and sleek new furnishings and window coverings to the addition of movable walls and the installation of industry-standard museum lighting. Curator Melanie Johanson has been upping the Cornell’s contemporary-art bona fides for years; it’s only now that she has a building as grand as her vision.

HEARTFELT GALLERY

Delray Fashion Week

The Heart of Delray, less than two years old, and off the beaten path near the Goodwill on Federal, is an 11,000-square-foot oasis where nearly 80 artists like to hang. About 75 percent of them are local to Delray, says the gallery’s director, Daniel Cianciotti. Pop and contemporary, abstract and figural, whimsical and weighty—all are welcome in the cavernous space, which is even larger inside than it looks from the street. There’s also a sculpture garden with a pond and a bar, which shimmers during evening events. Come inside and get lost.

FUNKIEST FASHION SHOW

BEST NEW HOT SPOT

The runway at the fifth-annual Delray Fashion Week was filled with bright, vibrant colors that stood out against the soft night sky. Our handsdown favorite, naturally, was the Swim and Surf Show. Many of the looks emphasized bold whimsical patterns; an entire outfit was patterned in fun breakfast foods. It was fresh, it was hip, it was Delray all over.

The Arts Warehouse, a twinkle in the eye of the city’s Community Redevelopment Agency for years, finally opened the doors of its colorful former warehouse to the public, and it’s everything we hoped it would be and more. The rotating monthly exhibitions are fully committed to original, local voices and edgy work, and the low-cost studio spaces and workshops are an incubator for emerging artists. Delray’s art scene has faced setbacks in recent years, but the Warehouse is an undeniably positive addition. Onward and upward!

BEST FLASHBACKS Over the past year, Honey’s “I Want My ‘90s Back” and “I Want My ‘80s Back” concerts have welcomed New Wave icons A Flock of Seagulls and R&B superstars Color Me Badd for intimate, inexpensive concerts. In April, the lounge had audiences bumping and grinding—both ironically and not—to the retro rap of Sir Mixa-Lot, whom we understand still likes big butts. Of this we cannot lie.

BEST BANG FOR YOUR BUCK Arts Garage’s ONYX Music and Art Strolls are the place to be on the third Thursday of the month. That’s when the concert space opens its stage to hip, left-of-center local acts from a broad spectrum of genres—indie, alternative, funk, punk, jazz and more.

Pool at the Vagabond Motel

History, Channeled History seeps through Florida’s old hotels—and you can be a part of its timeline. ST. FRANCIS INN To be truly immersed in Florida’s history, head to the oldest house in the nation’s oldest city. The inn was built in 1791 when the king of Spain gave the lot to Gaspar Garcia, a military man. Over the following centuries, it was bought and sold to different families and changed names until 1948, when it was dubbed the St. Francis Inn. In 1985, the Finnegan family took over as owners and innkeepers. They say that the ghost of Lily, a 19th century slave from Barbados who fell in love with the innkeeper’s nephew, haunts the home. 279 St George St., St. Augustine; 904/824-6068 THE LODGE AT WAKULLA SPRINGS The Lodge at Wakulla Springs is surrounded by 6,000 acres of cypress trees and springs for a quiet getaway—that was the intention of the lodge’s founder, Edward Ball, when he built it in 1937. (Ball, head of St. Joe Company back in the day, was a powerful Florida robber baron from the 1930s, who was once a member of the “Pork Chop Gang” which ruled state politics and business for decades.) The lobby ceiling is covered in a painting of a

delray beach magazine

nature scene, the hotel’s iconic soda fountain has a 70-foot marble bar, and the views from every room can’t be beat. 550 Wakulla Park Drive, Wakulla Springs; 850/421-2000 CASSADAGA HOTEL Nestled in the tiny metaphysical community of Cassadaga amid moss-strewn oaks and an abandoned orange grove, this 1927-vintage hotel offers communion with the spirit world along with room and board. The hotel hosts spiritual development classes, meditation circles, goddess retreats, past-life regressions, seances, crystal healing, psychic readings and shamanic rituals. It’s supposedly haunted, but not to worry—the entities are said to be friendly! 355 Cassadaga Road, Cassadaga; 386/228-2323; cassadagahotel.net DON CESAR HOTEL “The Pink Palace” opened its doors in 1928, and celebrities like F. Scott Fitzgerald soon flocked to the beachfront resort for a getaway in the sun. Its heyday came to an end during World War II when it was converted into an Army hospital and then

a regional office for the Veterans Administration. Locals banded together in 1971 and successfully resuscitated the hotel, leading to a $3.5 million renovation. Today, the resort holds a special place in Gulf Coast history as well as in the hearts of guests near and far for its dining (including an ice cream parlor!), event space and beauty. 3400 Gulf Blvd., St. Petersburg Beach; 727/360-1881; doncesar.com VAGABOND HOTEL MIAMI Art Deco gets most of the attention in Miami’s architectural history, but we love the MiMo (Miami Modern) memories from the rock ‘n’ roll 1950s. The Vagabond was built in 1953 and was a popular hangout for the Rat Pack and other performers staying in the Magic City. The property was recently renovated, but the retro glam heritage is embedded in the redesign, from the starry front sign to the houndstooth seating at the Vagabond Kitchen & Bar to the iconic Coppertone Girl sign nearby. 7301 Biscayne Blvd., Miami; 305/400-8420; thevagabondhotelmiami.com

BACKYARD ELEGANCE

We South Floridians are spoiled. The benefit of living where the rest of the world vacations means that paradise is just an Uber away. Why not take advantage of this by splurging right here in the 561, and booking a couple of nights at the Boca Raton Resort & Club? The Waldorf Astoria property boasts more than 90 years of history, 10 culinary concepts and seven pools. Its water activities, long a hallmark of the resort, continue to make a splash with both skilled salt-lifers and hodads alike, thanks to its surf school and stationary FlowRider wave simulator. Join the SUP revolution by booking a stand-up paddleboard excursion from Paddle Diva, whose trips on Lake Boca aim to center mind and body. On select nights, after the sun sets, the resort becomes an upscale nightclub thanks to one of its newest collaborations. Jazziz, the late Mizner Park jazz club, hosts periodic “One Night Stand” concerts at the resort, where attendees are treated to intimate performances with musically diverse A-listers (OK, former A-listers, but still really cool), plus threecourse dinners, a room at the resort and a cocktail reception, all for $320 for a couple. So far, the resort has welcomed Paula Cole, Spyro Gyra, Christopher Cross, Ambrosia and the dude from Toad the Wet Sprocket, among others. Visit “Jazziz One Night Stand” on Facebook for promo codes and more. 501 E. Camino Real; 561/447-3000, bocaresort.com

Keep Fit and Carry On Our top five picks to reach your summer health goals. FOR THE YOGI FOLLOWER The tranquil Zen Den Yoga School Wellness and Retreat Center, in nearby Boca Raton, is surrounded by lush tropical foliage and calming waters. During a retreat, yoga instructors Ira Ohm and Valerie Leeds guide students in the art of ancient yoga teachings and spiritual practices through daily classes and meditation. Hatha Chakra flow yoga, Ashtanga-inspired Vinyasa flow yoga and Sadhana yoga are all practiced. This program also provides tai chi, yoga sutra and shamanic breathwork classes throughout the retreat. Participants make breakfast and lunch smoothies daily in the full-service kitchen and partake in massage and acupuncture treatments. Private rooms start at $1,200 for a seven-night stay. Three- and five-day retreats are offered, too. 954/461-4367, zendenyogaschool.com FOR THE SAUNA SEEKER Thermae Retreat, only minutes from downtown Delray Beach, offers guests a variety of healing treatments to restore body and mind in one, two or three days. Thermae’s shining gem is its saunas.

A Finnish sauna session begins with a traditional “aufguss”: water and essential oils are poured over hot stones to begin an aromatic steam and release toxins from the body. Infrared saunas use chromotherapy (colored light) to repair the body’s balance and harmony. Choose a color that speaks to your spirit—red, blue, pink, orange, yellow. Don’t forget to follow up sauna treatments with a custom massage, an organic facial or a quiet break in the meditation room. 205 N.E. Fifth Terrace, Delray Beach; 561/332-5883, thermaeretreat.com FOR THE WEIGHT WATCHER Dedicated to human improvement, the Pritikin Longevity Center helps individuals create a positive lifestyle through health, nutrition and fitness. Choose fun exercise classes, from Pilates to spinning, swimming to yoga, golf to tai chi. There’s a luxurious spa offering soothing massages and calming facials or a simple meditation post-workout. Meals are nutritious, delicious and balanced— it’s OK to have chicken or steak with vegetables for dinner and silky-smooth chocolate mousse for

dessert. When the day is over, drift off to sleep in a newly renovated room or suite. Many attendees report great results—not only physically but mentally and emotionally as well. Weekly rates start at $5,400 per person for a single room in June; rates decrease July 1 to October 13. Check pritikin.com to reserve a space. 8755 N.W. 36th St., Miami; 888/254-1462, pritikin.com FOR THE PAMPERED PRINCESS (OR PRINCE) The Carillion Miami Wellness Resort practically oozes “luxury wellness.” It’s a term that describes this health retreat, composed of spacious suites, an indoor rock wall, a massive spa, four property pools and dining facilities, among other things. On site, an energy healer, acupuncturist, nutritionist and board-certified functional medicine physician help guests create healthy lifestyles. The Carillion offers many packages, classes and workshops all dedicated to health. More than 300 fitness classes take place each week, in addition to the myriad of spa treatments. The spa itself boasts the Thermal

Vita Vie Retreat trainers say they are committed to helping attendees achieve the ideal mind-body balance that meets their lifestyles, no matter their wellness goals or level of fitness. “I want people to gain a healthy outlook on life and understand … the goal is to be the best you can be.

“Toy Story 2”

Disney Springs

Florida Classics Live as the tourists do this summer, and hit the drivable destinations we take for granted. DISNEY Disney is still a mainstay of Florida summers. Here’s what’s new: ON JUNE 30, the all-new Toy Story Land at Walt Disney World Resort (inspired by Disney/Pixar’s “Toy Story” films) opens—11 acres of it, in which guests in “Andy’s backyard” will feel as though they have shrunk to the size of the film’s toy stars, surrounded by giant building blocks, game board pieces and more. Count on a roller coaster, “flying saucers,” 3D games and more. It’s the largest expansion of Disney to date. ANIMAL KINGDOM marked its 20th anniversary on Earth Day, April 22, and this summer there will be plenty of celebrations marking this milestone. Animal Kingdom also debuted its new show “Up! A Great Bird Adventure.” 64

delray beach magazine

Summer Travel 0618.indd 64

DISNEY SPRINGS is a relatively new diversion—a sweeping retail, dining and entertainment destination on Lake Buena Vista with four zones—think Downtown Disney on steroids— featuring everything from games and a hyper-reality experience to fashion shopping (Kate Spade and Lilly and Anthropologie are just a few names you’ll love), jewelry, theaters, even Cirque du Soleil and water taxi tours. There is both casual and fine dining (think Morimoto and Bongo’s Cuban Café), which makes this Disney attraction a much-needed alternative to all-parks, all-day. THE KEYS TO KEY WEST Locals always head to the Keys during the summertime. It may be too hot for mainstream America, but we love it; it’s cheaper, it’s less crowded and we know where to go. Plus, we cherish the drive down, starting at Robert is Here in Homestead for a fresh tropical shake,

Keys Fisheries in Marathon for lunch and our first cold one, and island after island to the end. This year, spend a little money along the way; the lower Keys are still suffering from Hurricane Irma and could use your support. IF YOU WANT to do Key West first class all the way, head over to Sunset Key Cottages and rent a gorgeous house, dine at Latitudes on the beach and motor over to Key West on the resort’s launch if you want to see how the “other half ” does the Duval Crawl. 245 Front St., sunsetkeycottages.com WE ALSO LOVE Key West’s oldest hotel, Eden House, which offers a wide range of accommodations, has the perfect island vibe and is near enough to the Old Town action (but not too near) to give you as much fun and privacy as you want. 1015 Fleming St., edenhouse.com

COOL FOR SUMMER

The heat in Boca Raton can be brutal, but there’s plenty of ways to cool down right here in our neighborhood—or a short drive away.

Pontiki

For a unique way to enjoy the water, rent out a bamboo party barge from Pontiki and drift down the Intracoastal. Whether you want to relax with a cocktail, jump on a paddleboard to explore the mangroves, or enjoy a sunset cruise, the party will move at your pace. Jupiter Town Dock, 200 U.S. 1, Jupiter; 833/766-8454, pontiki.org

iFly

Thrill-seekers will flock to this indoor skydiving center, where you can experience flight by jumping into a wind tunnel. Feel weightless for a minute— without the whole jumping out of an airplane thing. 11690 W. State Road 84, Davie; 954/280-4359, iflyworld.com

Duval Street in the Florida Keys

Chill-N Nitrogen Ice Cream

There’s ice cream, and then there’s nitrogen ice cream. Little ones and kids at heart will enjoy watching ice cream makers mix ice cream with minus-320 degrees liquid nitrogen, sending a plume of smoke through the store. 3013 Yamato Road, Boca Raton; 561/826-7572, chillnicecream.com

Palm Beach Skate Zone

Just because it (almost) never snows in Florida doesn’t mean we can’t indulge in winter sports. Give ice skating a try seven days a week, including skate parties under black lights and set to music on Fridays and Saturdays. 8125 Lake Worth Road, Lake Worth; 561/963-5900, pbskatezone.com

Public Libraries

YOU KNOW THE DRILL; go fishing if that’s what you do (who wouldn’t?), but save time for long morning bike rides around the island, Cuban cooking at Siboney, date-night dinner at Louie’s Backyard and some Duval bar time, which you have to do, no matter how many times you’ve been there. CRUISES People are still having a national love affair with cruising, and those of us in South Florida can hop on a short one from Fort Lauderdale just about anytime we want. We are talking about those short island hoppers offered by Princess, Royal Caribbean, Celebrity, Holland America and more. The affordable three-to-six-nighters go anywhere from the nearby Bahamas to eastern Caribbean ports like St. Thomas and St. Maarten in the Virgin Islands—where we should ALL be going this summer to prop up storm-damaged tourism

Girls’ Trips The tourists are gone, the work is slow. The conditions are ideal for corralling your group of ladies for a weekend excursion. THE OUTDOORSY CREW Sure, you can pitch a tent and camp the old-fashioned way, but this is a girls’ weekend and a chance to switch things up. Head to the Westgate River Ranch Resort & Rodeo on the south end of Lake Kissimmee. You could stay in the lodge, but we recommend renting a luxe cabin or teepee. During the day, tap into your inner frontierswoman with horseback riding, archery, swamp buggy rides, zip-lining and more. Close out the evening at the saloon or with a hayride dinner. 3200 River Ranch Blvd., River Ranch; 863/692-1321, westgateresorts.com THE INDULGENCE If a soothing weekend of relaxation is more your speed, your only problem is going to be choosing which spa to patronize. That’s why we’ve whittled it down: There’s nothing like a weekend at the Ocean Key Resort’s SpaTerre in Key West. Don your fluffy white robes and choose from a menu of massages, facials, scrubs, ritual baths and wraps—two of our favorites include Cleopatra’s

Milk Bath and the Balinese Massage. Using tropical oils, herbs and volcanic clays from Java, Bali and Thailand, SpaTerre’s aromatic options will leave you feeling refreshed and renewed. 0 Duval St., Key West; 305/296-7701, oceankey.com THE ISLANDERS In the grand scheme of things on the globe, the Bahamas is a stone’s throw away. Take advantage of our proximity to the islands and get everyone aboard a Resorts World Bimini two-hour cruise to the country’s westernmost island. Although planning a day trip is totally an option, why not dive in for a long weekend? Take a few days to fully indulge in beach bumming, water sports, dining, snorkel excursions to a shipwreck, golf cart rides through Alice Town, and lots and lots of Kalik beer. 888/930-8688, rwbimini.com THE WINE CONNOISSEURS It’s not a proper girl’s night without wine. The San Sebastian Winery is family-owned, housed

in a 1920s-era Henry Flagler building, and the second-largest winery in the state. Go on a free tour and pick your favorite pour in the tasting room, peruse the gourmet gift shop for a bottle and accessories, then ascend with your glass to The Cellar Upstairs, the winery’s rooftop jazz and blues bar. San Sebastian Winery, 157 King St., St. Augustine; 904/826-1594, sansebastianwinery.com THE THRILL SEEKERS If you and your group are adrenaline junkies, head to Skydive Sebastian for the ultimate heart-stopping adventure. Guests from beginners to expert jumpers are matched with a seasoned professional for a tandem experience—or they can opt for an accelerated free-fall. Descending from up to 15,000 feet, jumpers will be in awe of the view of the Atlantic Ocean. When you’ve made it safely to the ground, celebrate your courage at the tiki bar, set up for a happy hour. 400 Airport Drive West, Sebastian; 800/399-5867,skydiveseb.com

Luxe Living Have money to burn this summer? Light it up at these Florida estates catering to the deep of pocket. SEA OATS LUXURY ESTATE According to local folklore, the quaint west coast island of Captiva earned its name from the legendary pirate captain José Gaspar, who held female captives on the island for ransom. In 1926, a hurricane’s storm surge separated Captiva Island from Sanibel Island, creating a channel called Blind Pass. Today, about half of Captiva is privately owned, including all of the luxury homes on Captiva Drive, nicknamed “Millionaire’s Row.” Sea Oats, one of the island’s lavish rental properties, offers vacationers a private escape for up to 30 guests. Many visitors enjoy fishing, lounging on the beach, shelling, golf and volleyball. There’s an endless list of amenities: a heated outdoor swimming pool, onsite tennis and basketball courts, a private dock that overlooks Buck Key Preserve, private beach access, a six-passenger golf cart, a personal concierge and complimentary Netflix. Vacationers can rent kayaks and paddleboards, and for an even more royal treatment, they can hire a chef or request grocery shopping or housekeeping services.

Nightly rates start at $3,500 in June and $3,800 in July. 800/787-5829, seaoatscaptivaisland.com VISTA POINT ESTATE Aqualane Shores is one of Naples’ oldest waterfront communities. North of Port Royal and south of Olde Naples, Aqualane is near downtown Naples, with easy access to award-winning restaurants and the historic Third Street and Fifth Avenue shopping districts. Many waterfront homes in Aqualane Shores have beautiful views of Naples Bay. One of those homes is Vista Point Estate. This Italian-inspired property is stylish and comfortable, just like a vacation home should be. Luxurious details—wide-plank wood floors and coffered ceilings—lend Vista Point a Tuscan feel. The outdoor living area offers guests a full-service kitchen with barbecue pit and bar. A gorgeous infinity pool overlooks the Bay, while chaise lounges idle close by—they’re perfect for spending a day in the sun, sipping rosé. Rates start at $4,000 to $7,000 per night. 877/406-2389, luxuryretreats.com

MOONSHADOW COTTAGE Along scenic highway 30-A in Florida’s panhandle are a string of beautiful beachside towns known for their proximity to the Gulf Coast and uber-luxury vacation homes. Seacrest Beach is one of Florida’s most placid, cloistered residential gulf communities—if you’re looking to get off the grid, this is the place to go. More specifically, check out Moonshadow Cottage. The gigantic, three-level luxury beach home features sleeping quarters for 16, an elevator and a myriad of extras. The first floor is the focal point, with a living room dripping in designer décor and soft white furniture, a formal dining room and one guest bedroom. Nearby, the full-service open-concept kitchen is fit for a chef: top-of-the-line appliances, sleek countertops and ample space for cooking a family meal. Sliding glass doors reveal the private outdoor entertainment area with a professional-grade grill, dining space and private boardwalk to the beach. The best part of this property is the third-floor private balcony and its stunning sunset views. Weekly rates start at $12,916. 850/745-2951, 30aluxuryvacations.com

INSIDE OUT The walls are disappearing between house and garden in South Florida Part of the joy of Florida living is its easy movement from indoors to outdoors, from kitchens to living rooms. Here are a few looks we love that celebrate our natural gravitation to the tropical wonderland we call home.

(PICTURED PREVIOUS PAGE) This outdoor kitchen by MM Designs was highlighted by laser-cut panels custom-made by Chic Setter to differentiate the outdoor space and create drama in the shadow effect. The wall was clad in porcelain tile (and subtle built-in sconces), and the countertops were recycled sea glass from Haifa Limestone. The chaises were from Wayfair.

The poured concrete sofa has custom cushions, the tables are hand-painted acrylic, and the stools are reupholstered Pottery Barn. MM Designs designed the tile mosaic near the pool to dovetail with the Art Deco theme.

This dining area designed by Erin Paige Pitts for a large extended active family opens to the pool and is as easy as it is casual. We love the farmhouse table and wash-and-wear chairs, but its most striking feature is its stunning Cuban-inspired cement tile (made by ClĂŠ Tile), which harkens back to old Florida as well as Floridaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s longstanding romance with Havana. 72

This elegant indoor bath with an outdoor vibe from Ferguson is distinguished by a Tisbury Collection Pfister faucet, stunning tile flooring and a clean and bright aesthetic.

Designer Ellen Kavanaugh describes her eclectic foyer as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Old Florida meets Emilio Pucci in the 1960s,â&#x20AC;? combining rustic Southern touches (unpainted bamboo, straw hats, a taxidermy deer head) with vibrant colors, midcentury lighting and a banquette inspired by Gio Ponti. The most notable element, though, is the tropical decoupage covering the walls, which Kavanaugh designed in collaboration with artist Phillip Estlund.

Sometimes found objects or the simple geometry of sea creatures adds a touch of coastal architecture to a room.

On a Roll at Saxon Sushi 1509 S. Federal Highway, Boynton Beach In a shopping plaza in Boynton Beach, one of South Florida’s best-kept secrets flourishes under the radar. Saxon, the late-night, 1920s-esque cocktail bar adjacent to Sweetwater, is known for its ambitious (and delicious) drinks, thanks to co-founder Sean Iglehart’s innovative direction. But what you might not know is that Saxon also has a sushi bar. And it’s rolling out (get it?!) amazing sushi. At the 30-seat lounge, foodies and passersby observe beautiful cuts of delicate Japanese hamachi, smooth pink salmon and yellowfin tuna alongside

bright avocado and other accouterments resting under a clear protective casing. It’s a relatively new concept, Iglehart shares at a “Dinner for Schmucks” event one evening (see sidebar for details). Saxon receives its hamachi directly from Japan—within 24 hours of being caught—so it’s as fresh as possible. Step up, place your order and find a seat at the bar or one of the few tabletops. If Andrew’s tending bar, ask him what’s best—he won’t steer you wrong. Saxon Sushi has a smaller menu than most, and it’s on the pricier side, but the quality is unmatched. Apps and rolls are

yummy, filling and artfully plated. Start with the hamachi jalapeno appetizer. The cool white fish gets a spicy kick from the jalapeno and ponzu, and leaves you wanting more. Save room for a specialty roll, such as the Black Widow, with tempura soft-shell crab, cucumber, avocado, eel sauce and asparagus. For something sweeter, try the Hawaiian roll: spicy tuna, mango, avocado, tempura shrimp and toasted coconut. You’ve already stopped at Saxon for a drink. Order that sushi you’ve been eyeing and keep the night rolling. —Allison Lewis

Snuggled under its namesake banyan tree in Pineapple Grove, this modern restaurant boasts a bright pink neon bar with bright cocktails, too.

The artisanal mixes boast ingredients such as H.M. Tonic No. 22—the crisp, tangy part of a very good gin and tonic. The heirloom tomato and feta salad is a highlight with Champagne vinaigrette dressing. Also popular are the brisket and short rib burgers, the avocado toast and the chicken Caesar. But the drinks are what you’ll remember. • Brunch Sat.–Sun. Dinner nightly. 561/877-0000. $$

Though the restaurant is casual, the kitchen takes its food seriously, whether the stellar flatbreads, the thick and juicy 10-ounce special blend burger or homey seasonal cobbler. And the waterfront location just seems to make everything taste better. • Lunch Mon.–Fri. Brunch Sat.–Sun. Dinner nightly. 561/665-8484. $

Cut 432 and Park Tavern. Fresh, quality ingredients go into everything from the tangy tomatillo salsas to the world-class fish tacos clad in delicate fried skin, set off by tart pineapple salsa. Cinnamon and sugar-dusted churros are the perfect dessert. And check out the margaritas, especially the smoky blend of mezcal and blanco tequila. • Lunch and dinner daily. 561/8655350. $$

fifth avenue grill—821 S. Federal Highway. American. Since 1989, this upscale tavern has been a Delray favorite. The straightforward menu focuses on entrées like lamb osso buco and tenderloin brochette teriyaki. Add a lobster tail for good measure. • Lunch and dinner daily. 561/265-0122. $$

the grove—187 N.E. Second Ave. Contemporary American. Chef-partner Michael Haycook and chef Meghan O’Neal change their menu biweekly, turning out dishes exhilarating in their freshness, creativity and elegant simplicity. An appetizer of octopus with olive oil, crushed potato aioli and lemon is outstanding. • Dinner Tues.–Sat. 561/266-3750. $$ harvest seasonal grill & wine bar—11841 S. Federal Highway. American. You don’t have to worry about calories (most dishes are under 500), you don’t have to worry about finding something you haven’t tried before (new items are added every three months) and freshness is the silent ingredient throughout. Try the pesto Caprese flatbread, the supergrain salad and the steak or salmon or chicken. Desserts offer big tastes in small jars. • Lunch and dinner daily. Brunch on weekends. 561/266-3239. $$ henry’s—16850 Jog Road. American. This casual, unpretentious restaurant from Burt Rapoport in the west part of town never fails to delight diners.

la cigale—253 S.E. Fifth Ave. Mediterranean. True culinary professionals turn out gently updated and classically oriented dishes notable for the quality of their ingredients and careful preparation. Sweetbreads in chanterelle cream sauce are glorious; a barely grilled artichoke with mustardy remoulade is gloriously simple. Watching your server skillfully debone an impeccably fresh Dover sole is almost as satisfying as eating it. • Dinner Mon.–Sat. 561/265-0600. $$ latitudes ocean grill—2809 S. Ocean Blvd., Highland Beach. Modern American. You should come for both the sunset and the food. This oceanfront restaurant is a gem tucked inside the Delray Sands resort. From the airy, bubbly interior to the raw bar, the décor is soothing and fun. Try the lobster and crab stuffed shrimp, the miso-glazed Skuna Bay salmon, the branzino or the veal Bolognese (a specialty of Executive Chef James King). • Breakfast, lunch and dinner Mon.–Sat. Brunch Sun. 561/278-6241. $$$

lemongrass bistro—420 E. Atlantic Ave. PanAsian. Casually hip ambience, friendly service, moderate prices and a blend of sushi and nouveau pan-Asian fare make this a popular destination. The quality of its seafood and care in its preparation are what gives Lemongrass its edge. • Lunch and dinner daily. 561/2785050.

Always innovative, this popular mainstay doesn’t disappoint with highlights such as king crab wontons, sweet corn hushpuppies, St. Louis ribs, diver scallops, gnocchi and creative bartenders.

joseph’s wine bar—200 N.E. Second Ave. Mediterranean-American. Joseph’s is an elegant, comfortable, intimate nook in Delray’s Pineapple Grove, and an ideal place for a lazy evening. This family affair—owner Joseph Boueri, wife Margaret in the kitchen, and son Elie and daughter Romy working the front of the house—has all tastes covered. Try the special cheese platter, the duck a l’orange or the rack of lamb. • Lunch Mon.-Sat. Dinner nightly. 561/272-6100. $$

famous for his locally sourced, inventive dishes—and for the most impressive Bloody Mary cart in the county. At his latest venture in Delray Marketplace, try the great, giant harissa lamb/sheep’s feta meatballs and the Maestro Del Mar (named after a competition Malatesta won with this recipe), a Florida seafood stew that can include gator, mofongo de yuca and a “fin to tail” broth. Good for what ails you, and worth the trip out west. • Dinner nightly. 561/499-2200. $$

the office—201 E. Atlantic Ave. Contemporary American. Your office is nothing like this eclectic gastropub, unless your office sports more than two dozen craft beers on tap and a menu that flits from burgers and fries to mussels. Don’t miss the restaurant’s winning take on the thick, juicy Prime beef burger and simply wicked maple-frosted donuts with bacon bits and two dipping sauces. • Lunch and dinner daily. 561/276-3600. $$ park tavern—32 S.E. Second Ave. Contemporary American. The guys from Cut 432 have done it again with this hip, casual modern American tavern. The menu is tightly focused and tightly executed, whether Maryland crab cakes featuring fat chunks of succulent crab or the behemoth slab of tender, juicy prime rib for a near-saintly $29. • Dinner nightly. Brunch Sat.–Sun. 561/265-5093. $$

prime—29 S.E Second Ave. Steak/Seafood. Prime is aptly named for its heart of the action location, classy neo-supper club decor, extensive wine list and roster of designer steaks. Starters and desserts fare better than entrées, especially plump Maryland-style crab cakes and indecently luscious chocolate bread pudding. Service is a strong suit too, so with a bit of work this

good-looking restaurant will fully live up to its name. • Dinner nightly. 561/865-5845. $$$

racks fish house + oyster bar—5 S.E. Second Ave. Seafood. Gary Rack, who also has scored with his spot in Mizner Park, certainly seems to have the restaurant Midas touch, as evidenced by this updated throwback to classic fish houses. Design, ambience and service hit all the right notes. Oysters are terrific any way you get them; grilled fish and daily specials are excellent. • Lunch and dinner daily. 561/450-6718. $$$ scuola vecchia—522 E. Atlantic Ave. Neapolitan pizza. This bright pizza and wine place makes a certified and serious Neapolitan pizza—according to standards set forth by The Associazone Pizzaliola Napolentani (APN). That means light flavorful dough, spanking fresh imported ingredients—and about as far away as you can get from the American smeary cheesy greasy version. • Lunch and dinner Tues.–Sun. 561/865-5923. $

sundy house—106 S. Swinton Ave. Contemporary American. It’s fine dining served in arguably the most beautiful restaurant and gardens in Delray. Menus are seasonal and imaginative. Try any of the fresh local fish dishes. • Lunch Tues.–Sat. Brunch Sun. Dinner Tues.– Sun. 561/272-5678. $$ taverna opa—270 E. Atlantic Ave. Greek. Yes, you can order a side of belly dancing and napkin tossing with your moussaka and baklava at this chain. But the moussaka and baklava are very good; so is the rest of the food at the downtown Delray outpost. Also worth your while (and appetite) are appetizers like melitzanosalata, whipped eggplant with orange zest and roasted red pepper, and tarama, a creamy emulsion of bread, olive oil and salmon june/july/august 2018

roe. Whole grilled bronzino is finished with lemon and orange juices for a citrusy flavor boost, while tongue-tying galaktoboureko goes baklava one better by adding vanillascented custard to golden, flaky phyllo. • Dinner nightly. 561/303-3602. $$

terra fiamma—9169 W. Atlantic Ave. Italian. The pleasures of simple, hearty, well-prepared ItalianAmerican cuisine are front and center at Wendy Rosano’s latest venture. Among the pleasures you should enjoy are delicate, pillow-y veal meatballs in Marsala sauce; lusty chicken Allessandro with mushrooms, spinach and artichoke hearts; and a finely crafted tiramisu that’s as satisfying as it is familiar. • Lunch and dinner daily. 561/495-5570. $$

tramonti—119 E. Atlantic Ave. Italian. In a world where restaurants chase trends with the relentlessness of Casanova in full Viagra heat, Tramonti stands out as a classy, classic outpost of authentic Italian cookery. Not trendy hardly means stodgy, however, as evidenced by expertly crafted, robustly flavorful dishes like the signature spiedini di mozzarella Romana, spaghetti al cartoccio and braciole Napoletana. Torta della nonna is a triumph of the

highly refined simplicity that lies at the heart of true Italian cuisine. • Lunch Mon.–Sat. Dinner daily. 561/272-1944. $$$

vic & angelo’s —290 E. Atlantic Ave. Italian. Giving old-school Italian eateries a modest jolt of more contemporary cuisine and more youthful ambience has proved a winning formula for V&A. Best bets include succulent little baked clams, lusty and hugely portioned rigatoni with “Sunday gravy,” and lemon and caper-scented chicken cooked under a brick. Tiramisu is delicious, as is the Italian version of doughnut holes, zeppole. • Lunch Mon.–Fri. Brunch Sat.–Sun. Dinner nightly. 844/842-2632. $$

LANTANA the station house—233 Lantana Road. Seafood. If you’re hungry for Maine lobster, plucked live out of giant tanks and cooked to order, this modest replica of a 1920s train station is the place to go. Lobsters come in all sizes (up to 6 pounds) and are so reasonably priced that getting a taste of one without reservations is highly unlikely. • Dinner nightly. 561/547-9487. $$$

BOYNTON BEACH bar louie—1500 Gateway Blvd., #100. Eclectic. Attempting to split the difference between happening bar and American café, Bar Louie in the sprawling Renaissance Commons complex mostly succeeds, offering burgers, pizzas, fish tacos and a variety of salads, all at moderate prices and in truly daunting portions. In South Florida’s world of trendy and expensive bistros, this is a welcome relief. • Lunch and dinner daily. 561/853-0090. $

josie’s—1602 S. Federal Highway. Italian. Famed chef and South Florida culinary godfather Mark Militello works his magic in the kitchen of this cozy, old-school Italian restaurant. His influence is evident in the daily specials, but old favorites like beefy short rib meatballs, an upmarket version of the classic San Francisco cioppino, and Josie’s signature veal Bersaglieri (veal medallions with artichokes, olives and roasted peppers in lemon-white wine sauce) don’t fail to satisfy either. • Lunch Mon.-Sat., dinner nightly. 561/364-9601. $$

LAKE WORTH couco pazzo—915-917 Lake Ave. Italian. Despite the name, there’s nothing crazy about the cooking at this homey eatery. It’s the hearty, soul-satisfying Italian cuisine we’ve all come to know and love. Spaghetti Bolognese is a fine version of a Northern Italian classic. • Dinner nightly. (Tues.–Sun. during summer). 561/585-0320. $$

paradiso ristorante—625 Lucerne Ave. Italian. A Tomasz Rut mural dominates the main dining room, and there is also a pasticceria and bar for gelato and espresso.

Happy Birthday America

This Independence Day, let’s try and live up to our forefathers’ ideals

n July 4th we celebrate America’s 242nd birthday. However, many people in this country don’t seem to understand what America stands for or the intent of the framers who painstakingly wrote our Declaration of Independence—the greatest document ever written proclaiming that “all men are created equal.” People seem to be ignorant of what America represents. Look at our public schools. Civics classes—the study of government and the rights and responsibilities of citizenship—are virtually nonexistent. Many of our young people today are totally ignorant of American culture and history. Our Constitution has sent a message of freedom to the world. It’s a document that has served our republic for 242 years. If the words expressed in it are going to continue to have teeth—real meaning—we must live them daily. America today is torn and divided. Families don’t talk to one another. Good friends can’t engage in a civil discussion about politics without an argument, some so full of anger that even longstanding relationships are severed. But it doesn’t end there; rich and poor, black and white, English and non-English-speaking people are choosing sides, and it’s getting ugly. This is not what our forefathers envisioned when they crafted the foundation of our democracy, the Declaration of Independence. More importantly, this isn’t the legacy we want to leave to our children. If we truly are the model of freedom as

manifested by our tolerance, love, compassion and understanding of peoples of all races, faiths and colors, then we better start living up to our press. If we don’t, we will make a sham out of our Constitution and its intentions. Our acts of indifference and discrimination toward our fellow Americans are appalling and unacceptable. To recite the words of the Declaration of Independence without living them labels us as hypocrites. I believe that if the men who framed our Constitution were to come back to America, they would bow their heads in sorrow and weep at the indifference of Americans toward the precept, “All men are created equal.” Our flag is a symbol of the document that captures the virtue and essence of human dignity and independence. It is America’s legacy to the world. Let’s show the world we can live up to its meaning by embracing all Americans.
