What’s Going On? Delray Beach, Florida, Entertainment, Music Venues, Village by The Sea, South Florida, Palm Beach County…TGIF

In some way music enhances the soul.  “It can be a way of relaxing and allowing your body and mind to take a break from the monotony of life.”

In 2012, Delray Beach, Florida was voted “Most Fun Small Town in America”.  That title carries a lot of weight….so many towns offer its visitors unique ways to vacation.  Delray Beach has the whole package.  It is a very walkable town.  Gorgeous beaches, shopping, dining…a true vacation destination.

Philadelphia Magazine, Five Spring Break Destinations, Delray Beach is one of Them, Tauriello & Company, A Village By the Sea, Palm Beach County, South Florida

Delray Beach is becoming a South Florida destination.  I think this South Florida coastal town is so unique.  Then, wait a minute.  Too many people are discovering this gem of a town.  I want to keep it a secret; at the same time time I want to shout “Come on Down”. 

I am at the Delaware Beaches; my home.  But, today I noticed that in the Philadelphia Magazine there was an article on the 5 Getaway Places for a Spring Break.  It is the March issue.  You can also visit www.phillymag.com and then on the upper right hand side click on Magazine and the article will open up.   One more plug for Delray Beach; among other national plugs, as well.

It is a Village by the Sea.  It has everything; palm trees, sea grapes, gorgeous beaches, with water so clear, mango trees, restaurants, entertainment, shops and a large colony of artists that make Delray Beach a fantastic place to visit or live.

And to top it off in 1993 and in 2001 it was named “All American City”.

The article is a good one; the Seagate Hotel and Beach Club taking center stage.  Located at 1000 East Atlantic Ave.  Website? www.theseagatehotel.com.   There are many other hotels in Delray that can also make a great get away; either for Spring or for any time of the year. 

A few of the establishments to hit on Atlantic Avenue; like Tryst on 4 East Atlantic Ave., www.trystdelray.com.

Or, Cupcake Couture, 328 East Atlantic Ave., www.cupcakecoutureusa.com.  I wrote a post on Cupcake  Couture.  If you would like to see it, then click on the month of June, 2010 and scroll down to the 14th. 

Delray Beach is the perfect place for walking, running, biking and tennis.  An amazing tennis facility called the Delray Beach Tennis Center, located at 201 West Atlantic Ave., Tel. 561-243-7360.  Website? www.delraytennis.com.   I also wrote a post on it.  If you want to see it just click on the month of February, 2011 and scroll down to the 16th.

I have had real estate in Delray Beach since 2003.  The real estate company that I use is Tauriello & Co., located at 900 East Atlantic Ave.  My realtor has been Cheran Tauriello, 561-870-8855 direct and office is 561-278-5570.  All I can say that this company has been so professional with us; with confidence I can recommend them.  They are one of my advertisers on my website and all you have to do is click on their site and it will take you directly to all they have to offer.

Delray Beach….it’s a cute town….you cannot help but fall in love with it…..talk to you later….
