from the editor 

It’s February in 

Delray Beach 

and Love is 

everywhere! 

For the past 25 years our “Most Fun Small Town in 

America” has proudly been the host of the Delray Beach 

Open. More than 50,000 tennis enthusiasts visit our City 

by the Sea to watch some of the biggest names in tennis volley 

for the championship title. Make sure you catch a match! Look 

inside for more information on tickets and match times. 

What’s Love without Romance? They go together like peanut 

butter and jelly. Valentine’s Day can bring out the romantic in 

anyone, and what better place to show off your romantic side 

than on Atlantic Ave? Pick a restaurant for dinner, then stroll the 

Avenue - pop into a gallery, browse a shop, and take in the local 

color - or head to the beach with a blanket and a basket. Prefer to 

stay in? Order take out (or call the Delivery Dudes), rent a movie, 

and spend some quality couch time with your Sweetheart! I’ve 

heard some pizza restaurants will shape your pie in a heart! 

One of the many things that makes our small town great is 

our parks and beaches, and recreation areas. Suzanne Fisher is 

the Director of Delray Beach Parks and Recreation and a huge 

reason why there is no excuse for being bored in Delray. I never 

knew what an important, challenging, and multi faceted job this 

is, until now. Read her story she is our February City Person. 

Want to woo your Honey, but you’re 

on a budget? We’ve got you covered! 

Check out Darien Davies’ regular feature 

Delray Under $50 for many ways to 

enjoy our city and not break the bank. 

However you celebrate, shop, dine, 

and entertain local!

Florida show February 2 at 7:30 p.m. at the

professional quality of original song, 

dance, humor and musical composition has

This landmark 125th Anniversary edition

a can-do baker from Greece’s smallest 

city-state tries to win the world’s first ever 

Olympics! But how can she compete when 

her sponsor is the Ruler of the Dead, she’s 

falling for Zeus’s athlete, and sports haven’t 

even been invented? From Icarus’s flight to 

Oedipus’s bedroom, join the greatest cast 

of characters Western civilization has ever 

known. Ending with Triangle’s famous allmale 

kickline, Greece’d Lightning! will get 

you to drachma like it’s hot!

and talent sing their hearts out and uphold a 

cherished musical tradition? Buy tickets today!

Three Delray Organizations 

Team Up to Create A Mini 

Library At 505 Teen Center 

Haros, Co-President Woman’s Club of Delray 

bEACh; Kae Jonsons, Development and Community 

Relations Director for the Delray Beach Public 

Library; Mykal Banta, Interim Library Director; 

Cecily Douglas, Teen Librarian; Trish JACObson, 

Co-President of the Woman’s Club 

The GFWC Woman’s Club of Delray Beach, 

which founded the Delray Beach Public Library 

more than 100 years ago, is teaming up 

with the library and city of Delray Beach to 

create a mini library at the 505 Teen Center. 

In an effort to support one of its key 

goals – promoting literacy throughout the 

community – the Woman’s Club board of 

directors approached the public library 

with the idea of placing a collection of used 

books at the teen center. Teen center members 

can access the books in the informal 

lending library and read them at the center 

or take them home. 

“This is one more way we can support the 

children and families in our community who 

don’t have easy access to books,” said Trish 

Jacobson, co-president of the Woman’s Club. 

The 505 Teen Center, a safe facility opened 

to all community teens for recreation, is 

operated by the city of Delray Beach and located 

in the Woman’s Club of Delray Beach’s 

clubhouse built in 1957. 

“Reading skills are paramount to success 

in school, and opens the door to all kinds of 

new worlds. Reading is how we learn that 

our experiences and feelings are universal – 

that humanity is shared,” said Mykal Banta, 

Interim Director, Delray Beach Public Library. 

More than 200 used books have been 

collected, thanks to donations from the 

public library and from Woman’s Club 

members but more are needed. Books for 

children, teens or adults can be brought 

to the teen center at 505 SE Fifth Ave. For 

more information, contact the teen center 

at (561) 243-7158.

Downtown Delray Beach 

Visitor Information Center 

Under Renovation 

The Delray Beach 

Visitor Information 

Center, managed 

by the Downtown 

Development Authority (DDA), is celebrating 

its 12th anniversary with a complete 

renovation. Staffed by dedicated volunteers 

providing exceptional customer service and 

hospitality, and a resource for hundreds of 

visitors a day to our city, with more than 

15,000 in 2016, this little center on the corner 

of A1A and E. Atlantic Avenue was in 

need of a refresh. During the renovation, a 

satellite Visitor Information Center is located 

at the Sandoway Discovery Center, 142 S 

Ocean Blvd, Delray Beach, FL. 

The DDA has spearheaded the renovation 

project with the generous support of 

the City of Delray Beach, Roy Simon Architect, 

Maura Taft Interiors, and contract 

services from local partners, who are all 

donating their services. When the renovations 

are complete at the end of March, the 

Visitor Information Center will have tripled 

in size with new floors, ceilings, windows, 

and doors. There will be computer access 

for visitors and new digital signage. Visitors 

can stop in and learn more about the 

shops, attractions, dining, entertainment, 

hotels and places to live here. In addition, 

the renovated Center will be designated as 

the Official South Palm Beach County Visitor 

Center by Visit Florida. 

The DDA encourages all area hotels, attractions, 

restaurants, entertainment venues 

and publications to provide their collateral 

materials to share with visitors. The 

Delray Beach Visitor Information Center 

is open 7 days a week, 9 a.m. – 4 pm. For 

more information, or if you are interested 

in becoming a Center Volunteer, please contact:

My name is Rod Rifai and I am the president

Group. This exclusive dealership location 

is new to me, but I certainly am not new to the industry. 

I have been the owner / General Manager 

of automotive franchise dealerships for the past 

30 years and decided to take it to the next level by 

opening a dealership that reflects my passion - the 

type of dealership that I had always envisioned. 

One where every single customer, prospective 

buyer, someone needing service, parts or storage 

would be treated with the utmost VIP white 

glove treatment possible. If mere words could 

portray the level of my commitment they would 

be ultimate respect, unwavering courtesy and 

the relentless willingness to make your dreams, 

like my own, become your reality. My passion for 

these exotic luxury vehicles was realized early on 

and I have spent a lifetime pursuing that passion 

as only one car enthusiast to another can. I am an 

avid supporter of the arts and charitable causes, 

especially those regarding children, and through 

my dealership I plan on displaying local art and 

hosting charity events that we can feature and 

auction art pieces to donate to charity.

South Florida real estate market. Growing 

up in this area I have watched many cities and 

neighborhoods develop and change over the years 

giving me very detailed knowledge of the current 

local markets as well as forecasted future conditions. 

Prior to getting into the Real Estate world 

I was a small business owner in the customer 

service industry and I have continued to build my 

Real Estate business with the same ethics. My goal 

is to provide all of my clients with a service that is 

redefined and un-paralleled. Buying and selling a 

property is one of the biggest transactions most 

people will do in their lifetime and I take pride in 

clients giving me their trust to make it a smooth, 

tactical, and fiscal financial move. The Posh Properties 

family has been very welcoming and I am 

extremely excited to start forwarding my knowledge 

to the local Delray Beach Community. I want 

to sell you more than just your dream property, I 

want to sell you your dream lifestyle!

am Joseph Lore, a North Jersey native and a 

graduate of St Peter’s University in Jersey City. 

I am married to Eloina and we have 2 boys 

and we have been living in Delray Beach for over 

3 years now. I have over 15 years of restaurant 

experience, both out front and out back, having 

operated, managed and consulted for a number 

of restaurants, lounges, and nightclubs in the New 

York metropolitan area. Initially as a Delray Beach 

resident I held the position of manager at the Atlantic 

Grille in the Seagate Hotel where I first met 

our Executive Chef James Skarulis. My Atlantic 

Grille experience and understanding of the Delray 

Beach food culture solidified my intent to bring a 

taste of New York and my own family recipes to 

town. With my history in the nightlife scene in 

Manhattan and Miami, this new venue can transition 

from dining to a vibrant nightlife experience 

with late night DJs and bottle service slated for the 

near future. Once a sapling of a restaurant concept, 

now emerges this beautiful open air experience 

under the Banyan Tree.

delray under $50 

By Darien Davies 

{ 

Now that Delray Beach is a rising star in the art, culture and social 

scene, it might seem a little difficult to find affordable activities, shops 

or restaurants. I am here to prove you wrong. Delray Beach offers a mix 

of high-end boutiques with laid-back restaurants, and events for the 

whole family or nightclubs for night owls. Here is what you can do in 

Delray Beach in February for $50 or less. 

It may be winter in other parts of the 

country but it’s always a shade of summer 

in Florida. Instead of being a victim 

to the sun, grab a seat under an umbrella 

and watch others sweat it out. February is 

Beat the Heat Month and is a perfect time 

to enjoy a cold cocktail and hopefully a bit 

of a breeze while others serve and volley 

their way to a win. The Delray Beach Open 

is held February 17-26 and is the world’s 

only 10-day tennis event consisting of an 

ATP (Association of Tennis Professionals) 

Champions Tour and an ATP World Tour 

event. The schedule builds up to the finals 

events on the last weekend, so if you have 

the time to watch the entire event, you’ve 

got a lot of exciting tennis on your hands. 

Ticket prices start around $25 for box or 

reserved seats, per day, which is a pretty 

sweet deal considering you’ll be in the 

presence of Raonic, Del Potro, Karlovic, the 

Bryan brothers, Fish, Gonzalez, and many 

more notable players. The event is televised 

nationally on the Tennis Channel, and 

internationally in more than 120 countries, 

so it’s kind of a big deal. Lucky us that it’s 

in our backyard! The Delray Beach Tennis 

Center is located at 201 W. Atlantic Ave. 

Visit www.yellowtennisball.com or call 

(561) 330-6000 for more information and 

to purchase tickets. 

I’ll say it. Relationships are difficult, 

but undeniably rewarding, which is 

why we all love to love. If you want to 

get insight into another relationship (you 

know, just to make sure you’re not the 

crazy one), you’ve got a great date night 

26 February 2017 | www.AtlanticAveMagazine.com 

in your near future. February is Relationship 

Wellness Month and we’re fortunate 

enough that the Delray Beach Playhouse 

is featuring The Odd Couple, a comedy 

by Neil Simon, for our viewing pleasure. 

When Neil Simon’s brother Danny was a 

young writer in New York, he shared an 

apartment with a newly divorced friend. 

One night, while watching his brother 

and the ill-matched roommate exchanging 

sarcastic quips, Neil thought that 

this exchange is funnier than a play. And, 

thus, The Odd Couple was born. The play 

is about two friends with such contrary 

personalities that simple co-existence becomes 

a daily ordeal. The NY Daily News 

has called this play “wildly, irresistibly, incredibly 

and continuously funny,” and the 

roommates’ relationship has become 

one of the iconic relationships in 

American comedy. The Delray 

Beach Playhouse is celebrating 

70 years in business so 

it’s safe to say they know 

how to show the audience 

a good time. Tickets are $30 

per person and the play runs 

from February 4-19. The Delray 

Beach Playhouse is located 

at 950 N.W. Ninth St. Visit 

www.delraybeachplayhouse. 

com or call (561) 272-1281 for 

more information. 

Oh, pizza, you hold a special 

place in my heart (and on my 

hips) and I will never forget our 

deep dish love affair. February 9 is National 

Pizza Day and is a great time to revisit 

all of our local pizza restaurants and get 

some go-to favorites so you’re ready when 

the time strikes. Pizza Rustica dishes up 

one of my favorite slices on the Avenue 

but there are so many to choose from you 

might have to frequent often to even make 

a dent in the dough. My no-fail choice is 

the A Quattro Formaggi, which has asiago, 

creamy blue cheese, sharp Swiss and 

mozzarella cheese and diced tomatoes, 

Kalamata and Spanish green olives, for 

only $5.65 for the slice. Best part is that 

Pizza Rustica is open until the wee morning 

hours so you can indulge after a night 

on the town. The pizza train is now moving 

along to Scuola Vecchia, where you can

get old school Italian pizzas for your eating pleasure. The 

Keste is amazing and features imported fresh buffalo mozzarella, 

tomato sauce, prosciutto di parma, arugula, shaved 

gran cru, extra virgin olive oil and basil for $19 for the pie. 

Sharing is not an option. If you’re with a group and need 

large pies, head to Sazio and order one of their specialty 

pizzas. The Sazio has sundried tomatoes, red onions, grilled 

chicken, goat cheese, mozzarella and sauce and is $19.50 for 

the large. Whatever your pizza pleasure, you’re sure to sink 

your teeth into something that gets your pizza motor running. 

Visit www.downtowndelraybeach.com for restaurant 

location and information. Or, just follow your nose. 

You either love it or hate it, but either way, it’s here. Every 

day should be Valentine’s Day, but if you want to 

show a little more effort on February 14, here’s a little 

nighttime game plan complete with a sexy menu so hopefully 

you get the ROI you were looking for. Start the night at Caffe 

Luna Rosa with a glass of champagne and intimate conversation 

as the beach breeze envelopes the two of you. Then, stroll 

to City Oyster and order a platter of the oysters on the half 

shell (market price) and get your love drive really humming. 

(Another glass of champagne shouldn’t hurt, either.) Once 

done, turn the corner to El Camino and order their guacamole, 

which is made to order so you can have it spicy or classic, for 

$9. Wash it down with their strawberry-basil margarita with 

Corazon Blanco, strawberries, Cocchi Rosa and Swank Farms 

basil for $11. Now you’ve got the pants party started. If you’re 

still in the frisky food mood, head to Carpe Diem and split the 

Chevre Chaud salad with organic greens and arugula, warm 

goat cheese, grape tomatoes, apples, caramelized walnuts, 

dried cranberries and raisins, and raspberry dressing for $13. 

Another glass of wine should be in order, don’t you think? Finish 

your culinary night with an espresso at Subculture Coffee 

and to-go chocolates from Kilwins and you’ve got the recipe 

for a night nightcap at home. Enjoy the night, and, you’re welcome. 

Visit www.downtowndelraybeach.com for restaurant 

locations and information. 

I 

can cook all day, every day. But baking? No thanks. You 

can keep your precise measurements and sweet treats. 

Thankfully there are tons of bakeries on the Ave so you 

don’t have to bake if you don’t want to. February is Bake for 

Family Fun Month and is a great time to leave the baking to 

the professionals. Start your journey at Grandma’s Treasures, 

a local German deli/bakery that features a rotating menu of 

the season’s best offerings. You’ll find cakes, individual bread 

pudding, pies, chocolate and lemon crinkle cookies, and much 

more. If you are still looking for a taste from across the pond, 

head to The French Bakery and Café for artisanal pastries including 

chocolate croissants, white chocolate pistachio croissants, 

tarts with baked fruits, coconut macarons, and much 

more. If you are drooling for more traditional baked goods, 

head to Two Fat Cookies, where you’ll find cookies, cakes, 

cake pops, and specialty items. Indulge in strawberry mousse 

towers, tiramisu tartlets, Hawaiian cheese squares, or turtle 

cupcakes, among others. Bring the family along so you can 

try more items without turning into a dessert monster. Visit 

www.downtowndelraybeach.com for restaurant locations

Gotta See 

Janet Montgomery 

“the space between us” 

By skip sheffield 

In all honesty, February is the dumping 

ground of new movie releases. 

However there are some good films 

that were screened early for awards voting 

that are just now making it to theaters. 

We will take note of a few of these. 

February 3 

“Rings” is one of those movies that 

will never be considered for any awards. 

Also known as Rings 3, it is a continuation 

of the franchise that has made a lot 

of money since 2002. A young woman is 

concerned her boyfriend is getting too 

deep in the dark subculture of a video 

tape that is said to kill its viewer in seven 

days. Actor Javier Guitierrez makes his 

directorial debut and the cast includes 

Johnny Galecki, Alex Roe, Matilda Lutz, 

Aimee Teegarden, Zach Roerg and Andrea 

Powell. 

A much better prospect is the science 

fiction film “The Space Between 

Us,” which was originally to be released 

in December, but held until now. It is 

described as a Romeo and Juliet story 

about the first human born on Mars 

and a streetwise girl in Colorado named 

Tulsa who is his Internet pen pal. Gardiner 

Elliott’s mother died in childbirth 

and he never knew his father. At age 

16 he decides to travel to Earth and 

go in search of his father with the help 

of Tulsa. But can he survive in Earth’s 

atmosphere? Peter Chelsom (“Hector 

and the Search for Happiness”) directs 

Asa Butterfield, Britt Robertson, Janet 

Montgomery, B.D. Wong, Carla Gugino 

and Gary Oldman. 

February 10 

Many people have been anticipating 

the sequel “Fifty Shades Darker.” Your 

wait is over. James Dornan and Dakota 

Johnson return as Christian Grey and 

his submissive love Anastasia Steele. 

In this sequel Ana has decided not to 

be so submissive and wounded Grey is 

wrestling with demons and disruptive 

forces such as former business partner 

and lover Elena Lincoln, played 

by Kim Basinger. Sam Taylor-Johnson 

bowed out as director. She is replaced 

by James Foley. The screenplay is written 

by Niall Leonard, husband of original 

novelist E.L. James. A third sequel is 

planned for 2018. 

What can you say about “The LEGO 

Batman Movie?” Let’s guess. It’s a Batman 

movie with Lego characters instead 

of real people. This spinoff of The Lego 

Movie of 2014 features the voices of Will 

Arnett as Batman, Michael Cera as Robin, 

Zach Galifiankis as The Joker, Rosario 

Dawson as Batgirl, Ralph Fiennes as Alfred 

Pennyworth and Mariah Carey 

as Mayor Marion Grange. 

Back by popular demand is Keanu 

Reeves in “John Wick: Chapter 

2.” We can only guess there 

will be more danger and mayhem 

for the former hitman-turned 

do-gooder, whom we first saw 

in 2014. Bridget Moynihan 

is Helen Wick and additional 

cast are Ruby Rose, Ares, Ian 

McShane, Common, John Leguizamo 

and Laurence Fishburne 

as The Bowery King. 

February 17 

“The Great Wall” of China 

is not a documentary but 

an action-thriller starring Matt 

Damon as a mercenary warrior 

imprisoned in the Great Wall. When 

marauding beasts begin attacking, he 

puts together an elite force to save the 

world. This is the first English language 

film for Zhang Yimou (“House of Flying 

Daggers”). The screenplay is by Marshall 

Herskovitz (“Jack Reacher: Never 

Go Back”) and the cast includes Willem 

Dafoe, Pedro Pascal, Andy Lau, Tian 

Jing and Ryan Cheng. 

“A Cure For Wellness” is a psychological 

drama about an ambitious young 

executive who is sent to fetch his company’s 

CEO from a lovely but mysterious 

“wellness center” in the Swiss Alps. His 

sanity is tested when he is diagnosed 

with the same alleged illness that keeps 

guests virtual prisoners, longing for a 

cure. This is director Gore Verbinski’s 

first movie since “The Ring” in 2002. 

Dane DeHaan, Mia Goth, Jason Isaacs, 

Celia Imrie, Susanne Wuest and Carl 

Lumley star. 

February 24 

“Get Out” is a horror-thriller about 

Chris (Daniel Kaluuya) and Rose (Allison 

Williams), a couple who have reached 

the meet-the-parents stage. Rose invites 

him to a weekend getaway at the family 

estate with parents Missy (Catherine 

Keener) and Dean (Bradley Whitford). 

What could go wrong? Well, for starters 

Chris is black and Rose is white and maybe 

the parents aren’t so tolerant. This 

is the directorial debut of Jordan Peele, 

who also wrote it. 

Sure, it happens all the time. “Rock 

Dog” is an animated feature about a Tibetan 

Mastiff who catches a radio that 

falls from the sky, inspiring him to follow 

his dream of becoming a musician. Voices 

are provided by Luke Wilson, Eddie Izzard, 

J.K. Simmons, Lewis Black, Kenan 

Thompson and Mae Whitman. Ash Brannon 

(“Surf’s Up”) directs. 

Oh boy, another car chase movie. At 

least the “Collide” cast looks good. Nicholas 

Hoult and Felicity Jones are Casey 

and Juliette, a young American couple in 

Germany who get in the middle of feuding 

gangsters, played by Anthony Hopkins 

and Ben Kingsley, resulting in the 

aforementioned cat-and-mouse chase 

across Germany. Writer-director is Eran 

Creevy (“Welcome to the Punch”).

Make Your Kid A Money 

Genius (Even If You’re 

Not): A Parents’ Guide 

for Kids 3 to 23 

by Beth Kobliner 

Available February 7 

“Make Your Kid 

A Money Genius 

(even if you’re 

not)” is a jargonfree, 

step-by-step 

guide to help parents 

of all income 

levels teach their 

kids—from ages 

three to twenty-three—about money. 

It turns out the key to raising a money 

genius isn’t to teach that four quarters 

equal a dollar or how to pick a stock. 

Instead, it’s about instilling values that 

have been proven to make people successful—not 

just financially, but in life: 

delaying gratification, working hard, 

living within your means, getting a 

good education, and acting generously 

toward others. More specifically, you’ll 

learn why allowance isn’t the Holy Grail 

when teaching your kid to handle money, 

and why after-school jobs aren’t always 

the answer either. You’ll discover 

the right age to give your kid a credit 

card, and learn why doling out a wad of 

cash can actually be a good parenting 

move. 

You don’t need to be a money genius 

to make your kid a money genius. 

Regardless of your comfort level with 

finance—or your family’s income—this 

charming and fun book is an essential 

guide for passing along enduring financial 

principles, making your kids wise 

beyond their years—and peers—when 

it comes to money.

yet chilly morning, 

as she walks 

towards Fitzroy 

Square—a place of many memories—she 

is intercepted by Brian Huntley 

and Robert MacFarlane of the Secret 

Service. The German government has 

agreed to release a British subject from 

prison, but only if he is handed over to a 

family member. Because the man’s wife 

is bedridden and his daughter has been 

killed in an accident, the Secret Service 

wants Maisie—who bears a striking resemblance 

to the daughter—to retrieve 

the man from Dachau, on the outskirts 

of Munich. 

The British government is not alone 

in its interest in Maisie’s travel plans. 

Her nemesis—the man she holds responsible 

for her husband’s death—has 

learned of her journey, and is also desperate 

for her help. 

Traveling into the heart of Nazi Germany, 

Maisie encounters unexpected 

dangers—and finds herself questioning 

whether it’s time to return to the work 

she loved. But the Secret Service may 

have other ideas. . . .

clause—and applied cutting-edge forensic 

science to open an old crime to

Spinal Stenosis 

Effective Non-Surgical Treatment Options 

By Dr. Alycia Pugh 

{ 

Spinal Stenosis is a debilitating orthopedic and neurological disorder which 

affects primarily the geriatric population. It is characterized by lower back 

pain that can radiate into the legs and produce subsequent weakness. 

Often times the weakness is associated 

with painful numbness and tingling. A 

common presentation is a drastic increase 

in pain when the individual is standing 

idle, as occurs when cooking or doing the 

dishes, or with prolonged walking and almost 

immediate relief when progressing to 

a sitting position. 

Spinal stenosis seems to be greatly misunderstood 

in the general population. It literally 

means a narrowing of the spinal canal, 

the bony structure which houses and protects 

the spinal cord and spinal nerve roots. 

The occlusion of the spinal canal is typically 

caused by one of four distinct entities; congenitally 

narrowed canal from birth, tumor, 

disc herniation, and or arthritis. By far the 

leading cause is arthritis in which bone 

spurs and changes in the morphology or 

shape of the vertebra lead to occlusion. 

Unfortunately, the primary recommendation 

for such a presentation as spinal 

stenosis is surgical intervention. However, 

non-surgical conservative treatment options 

have vastly improved over the years and 

should be a serious initial consideration before 

any invasive procedures. In-fact some 

of the most decorated orthopedic and neurosurgeons 

in the world are now having their 

patients attempt conservative therapies 

prior to surgery. 

Revolutionary new treatment options 

are centered on decompressing the spine 

utilizing advanced stretching mechanisms, 

applying flexion based trunk exercises, manipulating 

the lumbar spine, and applying 

class IV cold laser therapy. Due to the fact 

that arthritis cannot be removed by any 

means, the main objectives of these therapies 

are to reposition the spinal joints and 

stretch the lumbar ligaments and tendons 

so that the canal is physically widened. The 

amount of widening necessary to produce 

positive long-lasting change is very minimal 

and quite attainable. In conjunction with 

this, cold laser therapy decreases the healing 

time by increasing the metabolism of 

the injured cells and by reducing inflammation 

and spasm. Therapeutic exercises are 

applied to increase strength in the correct 

muscle groups so as to reinforce the widening 

of the canal. Give non-traditional yet effective 

treatment options a chance prior to 

any surgical intervention.

Don’t Get 

Burned 

By Thomas C. Balshi, M.D. 

{ 

During summer months, sunlight becomes more intense and shines 

for longer hours, so naturally we gravitate to pools and beaches for 

recreation and to cool down. Unfortunately, fun in the sun comes 

with a risk of developing skin cancer. 

Skin cancer is the most common form 

of cancer in the United States. Each year 

there are more new cases of skin cancer 

than the combined incidence of cancers of 

the breast, prostate, lung and colon put together. 

Over 3.5 million skin cancers are 

diagnosed annually, 90 percent of which 

are caused by UV radiation from sunlight 

and tanning beds. 

One in five Americans will develop skin 

cancer in the course of a lifetime. And, if 

an individual can reach the age of 65, the 

chance of developing skin cancer is 50 percent! 

Luckily most are found early and can 

be managed in a dermatologist’s office. 

But there is also a risk of developing 

one of the deadliest diagnoses: “malignant 

melanoma.” One person dies of melanoma 

every hour (every 62 minutes to be precise). 

And while the incidence of many 

other cancers is falling, the incidence of 

melanoma continues to rise at a rate faster 

than that of any of the seven most common 

cancers. Melanoma only accounts 

for less than five percent of skin cancer 

cases, but it causes more than 75 percent 

of all skin cancer deaths. 

One or more blistering sunburns in 

childhood or adolescence can more than 

double a person’s chances of developing 

melanoma later in life. If serious sunburn 

is a part of your history, extra precautions 

are absolutely mandatory. 

The good news is that the survival rate 

for patients where melanoma is detected 

early and before the tumor has penetrated 

through the skin, is about 99 percent. The 

bad news is that the survival rate falls to 

only 15 percent for those with advanced 

disease. One problem with melanoma is 

that there are no symptoms with early 

melanoma, no pain, no itch, nothing 

but maybe just a spec 

of color change that 

only a trained eye 

is equipped to recognize. 

It is extremely 

important to take every 

precaution not to 

burn in the sun. Be religious 

about applying 

sunscreen, wear protective 

clothing and 

enjoy the great outdoors 

responsibly. 

Don’t become part 

of the skin cancer 

epidemic; don’t 

become a statistic. 

The single 

most important 

preventive 

measure is to see a dermatologist to 

have a professional skin check. This is a 

lifesaver you cannot afford to live without.

Foundation of America.

health & beauty ║ Your Dental Health 

Do you have good 

oral health? 

BY Craig Spodak, DMD, PA 

{ 

Ask yourself these 

simple questions to find 

out where you stand 

Yes, your smile might be bright and your 

teeth all accounted for, but do you really have 

good oral health? Having good oral health 

means more than just brushing, flossing and 

rinsing every day. Your mouth is the gateway 

to your body and should be treated as such! It 

requires regular care, both at home and from 

your dentist in a professional setting. More 

importantly, as we age, our mouth become 

more susceptible to oral health issues like 

gum disease, dry mouth, cavities, bone loss, 

etc. so taking proper care of your oral health 

now is vital. See how you fare with the questions 

below, and reach out to your dentist 

and hygienist if you think you might need a 

little help getting back on track. 

Do you follow the 2min2x rule? 

When it comes to brushing your teeth, 

a good rule of thumb is to brush (at least) 

two times a day for two minutes each time. 

Do you brush your teeth for the full two 

minutes, or do you find yourself wandering 

around your house cleaning up or packing 

your bag for the day, letting the toothbrush 

dangle in your mouth? It’s important to stay 

focused when you brush your teeth and 

make sure you are gently brushing your 

teeth – and tongue! – for the entire time. 

Do you floss after meals? 

If you answered yes, give yourself a gigantic 

pat on the back because most people 

don’t. Flossing once a day is crucial to help 

clean the surfaces of your teeth that your 

toothbrush can’t reach, especially in between 

teeth. In fact, if you fail to floss, you 

are missing cleaning roughly 30 percent of 

your tooth’s surface! By flossing after meals, 

you can effectively remove plaque and 

trapped food particles that would otherwise 

be left behind, allowing sugars and bacteria 

to fester and potentially cause cavities. Floss 

is super convenient to keep in your purse or 

at your desk, so make sure you’re adding 

flossing to your daily oral care regimen. 

Are you eating a healthy diet? 

We all know that we are what we eat, and 

that is especially true when it comes to our 

teeth. If your diet consists of sugary foods 

(think sodas, candy, sticky foods, etc.), you are 

creating an imbalance of good and bad oral 

bacteria in your mouth. When bad bacteria 

proliferates, your mouth becomes acidic and 

your enamel is at risk, which can lead to cavities, 

sensitive teeth and even bad breath. Make 

sure you are eating a well-balanced diet that 

includes fruits, vegetables, lean protein and 

healthy fats, and always brush after you eat! 

How often do you replace your 

toothbrush? 

If it looks like it’s having a crazy hair day, 

toss it. You should generally replace your 

toothbrush every two to three months to 

avoid bacteria from growing on the bristles. 

Remember that soft-bristle toothbrushes 

are best since they’re gentle on your teeth 

and surrounding gums. Also, remember 

to always keep your toothbrush in an area 

where it can properly dry between uses. If 

you take your toothbrush traveling, it’s wise 

to replace it as soon as you get home. 

Do you smoke? 

If so, quit! Smoking greatly increases your 

risk for oral diseases, including gum disease 

and oral cancers. If you smoke or use any 

tobacco products, quitting can help restore 

your health, so talk to your dentist about 

setting a date to quit and how you can maintain 

your new smoke-free lifestyle! 

How often do you see your dentist/ 

hygienist? 

You should be seeing your dentist and 

hygienist at least twice a year, sometimes 

even more. Your dentist is able to assess 

your oral health and let you know if you’re 

maintaining your healthy smile or if you’ve 

swayed a bit. Frequent visits will not only 

help to prevent oral health issues, but will 

also help to quickly stop any problems before 

they become large issues. Not to mention, 

your teeth need a professional cleaning 

to remove any buildup you’ve accumulated 

since your last visit. 

So, how’d you do? Maintaining proper 

dental health is an easy habit to make, and 

your dental team is here to help. The goal is 

to keep your teeth for a lifetime, and that’s 

something everyone can smile about!

Breaking Through a 

Weight Loss Plateau 

By Ashley Sica 

If your weight loss has hit a plateau there is usually a reason for it. 

With some effort and patience it could be easily fixed. More times 

than not it is usually something simple. Here are 5 different things 

{to consider at before throwing in the towel and giving up! 

1 

The first thing I look at 

when weight loss (more 

importantly bodyfat 

loss) has stalled is nutrition. It 

doesn’t matter how good or 

how hard you workout. You 

can workout till the cows 

come home but if your nutrition 

isn’t on-point you can forget 

about seeing results. This 

is where a detailed food-log 

comes into play. Start tracking 

and writing down (or use an app) 

everything that goes in your mouth. 

The good, the bad and the ugly! This 

will be very beneficial in helping a professional 

pinpoint the area that needs 

improvement! 

2 

If your bodyfat is 

at a stand still and 

you’re doing all the 

right stuff nutrition wise, 

here’s what you need 

to do: Switch up your 

workout! Your body 

adapts to the same type 

of exercise over time. As 

you get used to a type of 

exercise, it becomes less 

challenging and as a result 

less effective. That’s why 

it’s so important to mix 

it up and constantly push 

yourself. If you’re not being 

challenged regularly, 

your results will ultimately 

slow down. 

3 

Look at your water intake! It is such 

a simple component that people 

forget. Water is an essential part of 

calorie burning and it helps flush out any 

excess sodium and fluid you may be hanging 

on to. Not to mention if your body is 

dehydrated it will not burn fat efficiently! 

Aim to consume no less than a half gallon 

of water per day. However, 1 gallon per day 

is optimal for fat burning and it also helps 

with suppressing your appetite…a nice 

added bonus! 

4 

Speaking of water intake, lets talk 

about your sodium intake. If you 

are constantly ingesting foods with 

unnecessary amounts of sodium then 

you need to stop. You’re body will always 

have a “fluffy” look to it and you can forget 

about the scale budging. Eliminate processed 

foods and use only salt-free seasonings 

and spices when cooking. 

5 

If you’ve tried all of the above and 

are still having a difficult time loosing 

weight then it’s time to take a 

look at what’s going on inside your body. 

It could be anything from a hormone imbalance 

to thyroid issues. Don’t immediately 

assume this is the problem but if you 

have truly tried everything else, it might 

be worth exploring your concerns with a 

medical professional who can help get to 

the root of your issues.

‘Seaing’ Is Believing At 

Our Boat House 

By Martin Lenkowsky 

photos by melissa korman 

{The first thing that piqued this writer’s curiosity upon entering 

Our Boat House at 820 SE 5th Ave., were the flames emanating from a 

rectangular fire pit adjacent to the front door. “It’s good for indoor or 

outdoor,” says owner Karen Marcil. Other fire pits, in a variety of styles 

and sizes, are also available including one that serves as a coffee table. 

If you’re looking for things eclectic, unusual 

and probably hard-to-find anywhere 

else, you’ve come to the right place. Karen, 

and sister-in-law Christina Auer, first 

opened Our Boat House three years ago 

in Boca Raton’s Mizner Park, but moved 

to their Delray Beach location last February. 

“We love Delray,” says Karen. “We feel 

Delray’s more home than Mizner was. It’s 

a great town.” 

Big Sur Sectional in Cozy Sunbrella Terry Cloth Fabric, Bleached Teak Root Table from Bali, Soft Jute Textured Rug 

Our Boat House carries a huge selection 

of lighting, rugs, indoor and outdoor furniture, 

as well as accessories, all with a natural 

coastal, nautical theme. “Things you’ll never 

see anywhere else,” Karen says, adding how 

much they enjoy searching for truly unique 

items. “It’s like a treasure hunt for us. We 

find things we love and then see them wind 

up in someone’s home where they love it.” 

One need not live on the beach to enjoy 

what Our Boat House has to offer. “You can 

make it a beach house,” Karen says. “Even if 

you don’t live near the beach, you can feel 

you live by the beach.” 

It’s a late Tuesday morning in early January 

and already their spacious showroom 

staff is busy helping customers. “Business 

has definitely picked up over the holidays,” 

Karen says. It was actually a mean streak 

from Mother Nature back in 2004 that led 

to Our Boat House’s creation. Two huge 

storms, hurricanes Frances and Jeanne, 

pummeled the South Central Florida coastline 

in rapid succession that year and 

flooded out Karen’s Vero Beach home. “We 

rebuilt it, and it took a long time to find the 

things we love,” Karen recalls. 

Rebuilding their home and re-furnishing 

with a nautical theme came naturally for 

Karen who grew up in the coastal community 

of the Hamptons on New York’s 

Long Island. Having to search around for 

the items she wanted to replace that the 

weather so cruelly claimed proved to be 

the catalyst for starting their own new 

business. “We found there was a need for 


The Delray Crew-here and ready to help 

you with all of your home furnishings 

Classic Slipcovered Furniture and One-of-a-Kind 

items imported from around the world 

Unique Coastal Art-Mixed Media 

Giclee with Recycled Cracked Glass 

it,” Karen says. “We started it on-line and 

people started saying, ‘they wanted to feel 

it, see it, touch it.’” Hence, their first store 

opened in Vero Beach; followed by Boca 

Raton and now Delray Beach. Their on-line 

business is also thriving. 

While walking through the showroom, 

Karen points out various items doubtful 

you’ll find anywhere else. “A big seller 

is our slip-covered furniture,” Karen says. 

“That’s a classic.” Other popular - and quite 

unique - items include coastal lighting, 

from right off the boat, and accent rugs. An 

old anchor lantern from a 1916 ship brings 

a sense of romantic old seafaring days long 

lost to history. Other pieces of nautical 

treasure accessories adorn the walls and 

showroom floor including sea and coast 

paintings done by local artists. 

Karen considers their “ship authentic” 

lighting fixtures among their most unique 

merchandise. “It’s genuine lighting salvaged 

from old ships,” she says. She also points to 

beautifully crafted teak root tables imported 

from Bali, and custom-made driftwood 

tables as truly unique treasures. “An artist 

makes the driftwood coffee tables, and no 

two tables are alike,” she says. 

Consistent with the nautical scene is a 

strikingly beautiful jelly fish lamp with lights 

on long-flowing bead tentacles. “We pride 

ourselves on seeing things you don’t see 

anywhere else,” she says. Our Boat House 

can help you get that coastal look anywhere 

in your home. “We do interior designs for 

people,” Karen says. “We can help you design 

your whole house or finish a room.”

Find the perfect gift for any occasion at 

The Monogram Closet 

By nicol jenkins 

{ 

A 


gift can be worth a thousand words and show 

how much you care for that special someone. 

When looking for just the right gift, The 

Monogram Closet in Delray Beach has 

something special for everyone in your life 

and for any occasion. Whether shopping for 

your best friend, a picky teenager, your new 

home, a newborn baby or one-of-a-kind 

jewelry, this boutique shop has it all! They 

can even personalize any present with your 

name, initials, a date of significance or anything 

that has meaning to your loved one. 

For over a decade, The Monogram Closet 

has been embroidering everything from 

baby gifts to housewares to fashionable 

items. The store’s owner Sabrina Amelung 

hand selects each item based on her customers’ 

requests. She and her dedicated 

staff will personally help each customer 

select an embroidery that fits their gift giving 

style. They carry a variety of products 

with embroidery in mind. From traditional 

monograms to painting, etching or heat 

stamping, they have several methods to 

choose from for a unique gift! 

“We have gifts for every special occasion 

and special event in your life that you want to 

remember. Our favorite gifts are the ones 

that last a lifetime,” said Sabrina. 

For Valentine’s Day, surprise 

your sweetheart with a personalized 

gift. Nothing says ‘I Love 

You’ more than a robe with their 

initials or the date of your wedding. 

Scented candles, like the popular 

Volcano scent, and Bath Bombs also 

set a romantic mood. For your daughter or 

friend, they have a wide variety of sentimental 

bracelets in Morse Code, and necklaces 

along with purses that can be embroidered. 

If your girlfriends are single on Valentine’s 

Day, you can get them a personalized girl 

power cosmetic bag, tote bag, or initialed 

water bottles, canteens and tumblers for a 

girls weekend getaway. 

When looking for a baby gift that has a 

special meaning, the shop has an array of 

choices that a mother can keep for a lifetime. 

Baby Mats shaped as different animals 

are a sell out item! Blankie Tails shaped like 

a mermaid or shark in a large sized towel is 

a well sought after item that your child will 

enjoy for many years. Seersucker duffels and 

quilted backpacks are also popular items for 

baby gift giving and a kids birthday party. 

The staff will embroider the child’s name on 


any gift and make it that much more special. 

“Kids can outgrow an outfit in a short time. These gifts are practical 

and personalized. They have more longevity and are more 

meaningful than an outfit that comes and goes,” said Sabrina. 

Brides and the entire wedding party can also find custom gift 

ideas and wedding party favors. The staff can help you find custom 

monogram napkins for the wedding tables, place settings 

and thank you gifts. The Monogram Closet has created dinner 

party gifts, votive glasses with initials, and custom wooden truck 

favors with each child’s name for a boys birthday party. Shatterproof 

glasses for a boater with their boat’s name, engraved picture 

frames, or cutting boards with a family’s last name are also favorites 

for housewarming gifts or thoughtful presents. Athletic equipment, 

golf bags, headbands, logos on golf carts, beachcomber jackets 

and more can be found at the store. If you buy something at 

another store, The Monogram Closet can still enhance it! 

“It’s a gift that people don’t think about. When something is 

custom it doesn’t make it a throw away. The gift becomes something 

a little special for your guests 

to keep!” added the owner. “To 

go out of your way to make 

something unique speaks 

volumes about how you 

care about the person you 

are giving the gift to!” 

The store also strives 

to create a welcoming 

atmosphere and focuses 

on great personal service. 

The owner can be 

found greeting customers 

and helping select just the 

right font and color to enhance any gift 

with a clean monogram look. She knows 

most of her customers by name and the long-time staff is very 

knowledgeable on the products. They offer a fast turnaround 

time on all custom orders. 

“Gift giving can be overwhelming. I am very hands-on in helping 

guide my customers. So many of them have turned into 

friends. I love the aspect of being a part of their celebration in 

some way,” said Sabrina.

Ride Delray 

For a Healthier Body and Lifestyle 

By Martin LenkowskY 


{Exhausted, yet exhilarated. These are the first words that come to 

mind to describe the women as I watch them leave their late morning 

strengthening class at Ride Delray. And friendly, can’t forget that word 

too, as they stop at the front lounge area and exchange hearty, first-name 

basis goodbyes and thanks to the owners, trainer and receptionist. 

Looking for a fashionable, friendly and 

super relaxed place to shed those pounds, 

stay in shape, and embrace a happy, healthy 

lifestyle? Look no more; it’s right around 

the corner. Ride Delray, 101 SE 2nd Ave., is 

located just one block south of Atlantic Avenue 

in the heart of Delray Beach’s vibrant 

downtown. 

Owners - as well as twin sisters - Susan 

Albinder and Linda Besman have made 

Ride Delray a fun, modern, high-tech place 

to take control of your body (and mind) so 

as to look and feel your absolute best. “We 

transformed this into a high-end boutique 

at affordable prices with state-of-the-art 

equipment,” says Susan. 

The benchmark of Ride Delray has to 

be the room filled with super high-performance 

bikes. “These are new, high tech, the 

best in the market,” Susan says, pointing to 

each bike’s power meter. “You can see your 

motion and track your performance. You see 

your RPMs, calories spent, and time.” 

She says the technically advanced power 

meters on each bike are the same ones used 

by the world’s top professional cyclists in 

the renowned Tour de France race. And if 

that isn’t impressive enough, a large video 

screen at the front of the class enables people 

to simply look up to see their progress 

and assess their workout displayed by their 

bike’s number. Just wait; it gets better...upon 

completion of your biking workout, your 

detailed results are emailed directly to you! 

Susan explains there are seven zones of 


Linda and Susan Studio owners 

training stages. “Nobody has this around,” 

she adds. “No one has the Performance IQ 

System.” Susan even let this writer take his 

place on a bike. As she adjusted the workout 

parameters, my results appeared on the 

multi-colored video monitor. 

Adjacent to the spin room is another room 

used for other forms of training. There’s 

weight (strengthening) classes along with 

suspension, core and balance training. “It’s 

a one-hour, high-intensity training,” Susan 

says. “We wanted to make a high-intensity 

program to change people.” 

The women in the class are lifting free 

weights in rhythm to the powerful sound of 

techno music, perfect for setting the mood 

for an intense workout. Leading the workout 

class is Linda, Susan’s sister and co-owner. 

Both sisters have extensive backgrounds in 

exercise and fitness. Linda was also a school 

teacher. Susan has a psychology background 

with a PhD in Marriage and Family Therapy, 

and has worked extensively with eating disorders. 

She is a licensed Psychotherapist in 

the state of Florida. 

“Fitness was always a passion,” Linda 

says. “I have 20 years experience in fitness. 

We created this studio and changed people’s 

lives. It’s so important to me, it becomes infectious. 

You get to see changes in people’s 

personalities.” 

Head training instructor Sherif Abdellatif 

is proud about what they’ve created at 

Ride Delray. “When they (clients) walk in

Performance ride with Stages Performance IQ 

the door, we make them feel comfortable,” he says. “We get to 

know them personally. We get them fitted on a bike. Their first 

time here is like a personal consultation. We discuss their goals, 

short term and long term. We set them up for success. All they 

have to do is show up. When people see results and thank me, I 

say, ‘you’re the one doing the work.’ This is a warm, friendly unintimidating 

environment. There are gyms on every corner. It’s 

what you provide.” 

Sherif, a Detroit native, has an extensive sports background 

in mixed martial arts and wrestling. “I’ve handled different personalities,” 

he says, “different lifestyles. I love what I do. That 

makes it enjoyable. They say if you enjoy what you’re doing, it 

isn’t work.” 

Sherif says they all work well together with positive results. 

“We all feed off each other,” he says. “She warms them up for me. 

We’re changing people’s lives; getting them in shape. People say, 

‘I’ve tried everything, but nothing else helped.’ We do wellness 

coaching, a comprehensive lifestyle change. How to eat for a 

healthy lifestyle, also stress management. People keep coming 

back, because they see results.” 

Susan describes what makes Ride Delray different from other 

gyms. “We’re a fitness family,” she says. “We notice if you’ve been 

away from class for two weeks. We’ll call to see how you’re doing. 

And if you’ve been injured, we can modify your program to 

help you, so you can keep cycling even with an injury.” 

Lest we forget, water, juice and nutritious snacks – along with 

rather rakish workout attire - are available as you walk into the 

boutique. “We try to workout in style,” says Susan, sporting her 

own stylish exercise clothing.

An old local favorite has been revived from the past 

Delray Hideaway 

By Ori PhillipS

{ 

There is a breezeway behind a women’s boutique on Atlantic Ave 

that you may have strolled passed many times without notice. 

If you were adventurous enough to wonder 

down this unassuming path, then you 

may have felt as though you have stepped 

back in time to discover a piece of Delray 

Beach history. Behind the 1045 building 

near the beach is one of the city’s oldest 

bars and restaurants, Delray Hideaway. 

Built in 1958 as a private club for doctors 

who practiced medicine in the offices 

upstairs, many residents still recall this was 

home to the lovely supper club Erny’s in 

the 70’s and 80’s. Within the last 30 years 

the business has changed over a few times 

slightly transforming into a local neighborhood 

watering hole, most recently Pepe’s 

Hideaway. 

Pepe’s closed its doors last summer after 

14 years. Long time bartender Clint Stevens 

made it his mission to carry on Pepe’s legacy 

by reopening the old neighborhood bar under 

the new name Delray Hideaway. “I felt 

it was necessary to re-establish the wonderful 

relationship we have developed with 

the residents and visiting tourists over the 

years, and continue to give the local community 

an enjoyable alternative to the congested 

and pricey Ave,” says Stevens. 

Partnering up with Palm Beach restaurateur 

Gerard Chachia, both Clint and Gerard 

have dedicated themselves to meticulously 

renovating the 60 year old restaurant. “We 

love the nostalgia many locals have with this 

historic and unique location. We preserved 

the original bar from Erny’s and plan to add 

some classic framed photos of Delray on the 

old brick walls to pay tribute to years past,” 

explains Clint. 

Delray Hideaway will be honoring their 

local service industry workers, military, police, 

and fire fighters with a 20% discount 

every evening. “We love giving back to the 

community and will be working with many 

local and national charitable organizations 

in the future,” say the owners. 

Delray Hideaway opened a full liquor bar 

in January and plans to have the kitchen up 

and running by early spring. Lunch, dinner 

and a late night menu will be available. 

They will also offer catering, host special 

events, parties, and sell package goods to 

go. Hours of operation (will open earlier 

with the addition of the kitchen) are currently: 

Monday – Saturday 2pm-2-am and 

Sunday 12pm-2am. Happy Hour is everyday 

from open until 8pm: $3 wells, wines, and 

domestics, $3.75 imports and discounts on 

call liquor. There is adequate parking available 

in the rear of the building off Seabreeze 

Ave. This vintage bar and grill is truly a local 

gem. It is a fantastic place to visit, socialize 

and explore…if you can find it. After all, it is 

Delray’s Hideaway!

Dr. Tzikas and the art of Lipografting 

Dr. Tzikas 

facial plastic surgery center 

{By Nicol JenkinS 


Delray Beach is home to one local doctor 

who is a pioneer behind a procedure to 

make his patients look years younger while 

still maintaining a natural look. 

Thomas L. Tzikas MD has significantly improved 

the results of facial plastic surgery 

through Lipografting. This is a procedure 

using the person’s own fat cells to restore 

the loss of missing soft tissue volume of the 

face in order to create a healthier, softer and 

more attractive appearance. 

Lipografting can be used for various 

enhancements: rejuvenate by restoring fullness 

and softness to atrophied, aging faces 

and hands; shaping facial elements; correcting 

acne or depressed scars; restoring 

tissues removed by previous surgery; and 

restoring lost volume due to thermal heating 

from misapplications of certain lasers. 

Patients from around the world come to 

Delray Beach to be treated by the worldrenowned 

facial plastic surgeon who specializes 

in cosmetic surgery of the face and 

neck. The developer of Lipografting, Dr. 

Tzikas learned about a variation of the procedure 

some 23 years ago from a plastic surgeon 

in France and perfected the procedure 

right here in Delray. He was one of the first 


U.S. surgeons to perform fat grafting on a 

regular basis and has lectured on the topic 

to his peers for over 15 years. 

Unlike many plastic surgeons, Dr. Tzikas 

combines his Lipografting method with 

all facelift surgeries as well as other procedures. 

The doctor carefully harvests fat cells 

from another area of your body and sculpts 

them via injection into the recipient area. 

When you age, you lose volume and fullness, 

which creates the appearance of sagging 

skin. Filling the tissue with living, purified 

fat cells makes a perfect material to sculpt 

and support the surface skin thus giving patients 

a more youthful and natural appearance. 

Recovery time is only two weeks! 

“Lipografting gives the youthful qualities 

back to the face. It’s a very natural artistic 

sculpting of the face. The results last for 

at least 10 years or longer,” said Dr. Tzikas. 

His patients’ transformations have been 

remarkable. 

“They have a better outlook on their appearance. 

When they look in the mirror, 

they are a little more confident and they 

feel better. They look better and feel better 

about themselves,” said the local doctor. 

Making people feel better about themselves 

was what inspired Dr. Tzikas to 

become a facial plastic surgeon. At an 

early age he was exposed to surgery while 

working in an operating room during 

summer break from college. The creative 

side of the surgery got him hooked and 

catapulted his career. 

“It was eye opening. Plastic surgery is so 

artistic and very creative which I enjoy. You 

can teach the basics, but the surgeon needs 

to be creative, because this really is art,” 

said Dr. Tzikas. 

Over the years, Dr. Tzikas has been a 

sought after speaker for his Lipografting 

technique and has authored many professional 

articles and book chapters. 

“I am constantly learning and continuously 

improving my technique. It is a highly 

specialized field, and a majority of the procedures 

are related to restoring youthful 

qualities of the face and making patients 

look like themselves again,” he said. “I meet 

with each of my patients and discuss their 

goals. I’ve been in practice for over 20 years 

now. Steadily every year, more and more 

men are having plastic surgery of the face or 

neck as well. Men get as good of a result as 

women. They look better and more youthful. 

People are living longer, are in the workforce 

longer, more active, dating, and want 

to look better and feel younger.” 

His patients praise the doctor and his staff 

for making them feel comfortable throughout 

the process of looking young again. 

“What can I say? Dr. Tzikas and his staff 

are remarkable, capable, thorough and efficient. 

Their kindness and consideration 

go beyond a doctor’s calling and the results 

are beyond what one might hope to expect,” 

said one patient. 

Another happy patient from Australia 

stated, “I have travelled long distances to 

see Dr. Tzikas for help with issues for which 

I couldn’t find a solution close to home. Dr. 

Tzikas’ aesthetic eye is swift and astute, his 

approach is efficient but warm. His staff is 

courteous, considerate and wonderfully 

down to earth. I will never forget the kindness 

that has been shown on each visit.” 

Dr. Tzikas is proud to help transform others 

for the better. 

“I love what I do, so I don’t look at this like 

work. It’s fulfilling; it’s a passion of mine. 

You become better at something if you have 

a passion for it,” he said.

Fun And Fanfare At 

THE DELRAY 

BEACH CLUB 

{By diane feen 

Who doesn’t want to be happy? 

There are books on happiness, classes that teach how to be happy and 

a nation full of people seeking its elusive inclusion on every coast. 

They say happiness is an inside job – and 

perhaps it is. But belonging to a club where 

you’re cherished and challenged, pampered 

and perfected is one great avenue to this 


gold standard of living. 

“My favorite place on earth is the Delray 

Beach Club. The service is great and when my 

family is in town they go to the beach and live

tivities and social events taking place almost 

every day and night of the week. During the 

holidays there are parties that sparkle with 

fanfare, flavor and cultural leverage. Just 

recently there were parties with Christmas 

Carolers, Music and Dinner, Classical Music 

and Jazz nights (with dinner), a High Tea 

Party, Piano Bar Fete in the Ocean Room 

with singer Chris Barrett White and dozens 

of other exciting and inspiring events. 

There’s lunch with Chef Jason, a Peggy 

Lee Tribute, Cabaret Nights, Italian Night 

(with dinner and dancing), Theatre outings 

at outside cultural venues, a Winter Art 

Show, Lobster nights in the Ocean Room and 

family programs. 

The list of activities is endless and the social 

scale of events and happenings crosses 

all boundaries. There is one thing that is 

static - the special events are all created for 

guest’s excitement and enchantment. 

That includes children and family programs. 

Just recently there was a Saturday afternoon 

Family Fun-Fest that included a giant 

water slide, DJ, poolside games, s’mores, 

snow cones and a buffet lunch with all the 

trappings. When the adults are away the 

kids can still play on PNO nights (for Parents 

Night Out they offer babysitting). 

Other children-centric activities include 

arts and crafts activities and games, a special 

“Kids Club” and summer and winter camps. 

For single people of all ages there is an 

Open Table that encourages members to 

meet and greet. There are also unlimited activities 

to engage your mind, body and soul. 

The “Beach Club Readers” discusses the literary 

merits of specific books, and there are 

men’s and ladies bridge games and Canasta. 

Every Friday night is a fun fest called “Mix 

and Mingle.” It’s a chance for members and 

families to gather by the pool, meet new 

people, listen to live music and enjoy hors 

d’oeuvres. For a more interior social experience 

Happy Hour takes place in the comfortable 

yet sophisticated Grille Room. The 

Grille Room has all the comforts of old Florida 

(wood, wicker and sweeping overhead 

fans) with a modern twist that Hemmingway 

would have cherished. 

The crown jewel of the Delray Beach Club 

is the Ocean Room. This center of social and 

culinary greatness has sweeping panoramic 

views of the ocean and is the epicenter for 

elaborate dinners, lunches and holiday 

fetes. Get a front row seat for July 4th fireworks, 

Memorial Day festivities, Labor Day 

and New Year’s Eve. 

Men and Women cannot live on social 

and cultural activities alone. That’s why The 

Delray Beach Club has a fitness center to 

help you energize and exercise your most 

precious asset – your body. There is Fitness 

Equipment, Complementary Exercise 

Classes, Personal Training, Aqua Aerobics 

and Spa Services. 

If you’re a tennis aficionado there are Har- 

Tru® Tennis Courts, Special Tennis Events 

and a USPTA certified Tennis Pro. They also 

have Tennis Leagues, Round Robins, Pro- 

Ams and Sunday Tennis Socials followed by 

dinner by the sea. 

There’s a reason members say The Delray 

Beach Club is life changing – it is. “There are 

no strangers at our club, only friends who 

have not met. We try our hardest to make 

sure everyone here is happy,” said General 

Manager Shane Peachey. 

Members repeatedly say that their lives 

are enriched by the camaraderie and comfort 

of activities and social events at the 

club. And where else can you go to luxuriate 

in the best of Mother Nature’s bounty amid 

the calm and restorative power of social, 

cultural and culinary excellence? Nowhere. 

If you are interested in joining the club 

there are a limited number of year round 

and summer memberships that offer a 

breezy beautiful respite from the dog days 

of summer.

Fighting For Families 

Beaulieu-FaWCett 

Law Group, PA 

By Diane Feen 


{ 

For Stacy Beaulieu-Fawcett life is about giving your 

best at all times. That means fighting for justice, 

helping those in need and giving to charities that 

depend on the kindness of strangers. 

She’s done this as a citizen of Delray 

Beach and as a marital and family lawyer 

with a thriving practice in Pineapple Grove 

and North Palm Beach. 

As the daughter an insurance underwriter 

(her mom) and an electrical contractor (her 

dad) Beaulieu-Fawcett learned the meaning 

of hard work. From her days working with a 

brilliant family law judge (Amy Karan) she 

learned the intricacies and monumental elements 

of family law. 

“My passion started when I saw what 

Amy did. She made a difference in people’s 

lives and I wanted to do that as well.” said 

Beaulieu-Fawcett, who is one of the few 

board certified marital and family lawyers 

in Florida and has one of the largest practices 

of its kind in Palm Beach County. 

So that’s what she did. 

She built a professional all- encompassing 

law practice that eclipses most others 

in this area. The firm now has six lawyers 

and a total of 15 employees. They handle 

cases that range from divorce to adoption, 

step-parent adoption, divorce appeals and 

everything in between. 

It’s not only a labor of love but a passion 

that Beaulieu-Fawcett has honed for the past 

12 years. “In life and in business I’ve always 

felt that it’s important to focus on helping others. 

It’s not about getting, it’s about giving.” 

When it comes to giving she tries to be on 

both sides of this altruistic coin. She helps 

couples form families by way of legal adoption, 

she counsels and guides those in the throes of 

ugly divorces and child custody battles, and is 

a beacon of light for those left in the dark. 

“I have personally experienced divorce 

and the fear of the unknown. I was the 

mother of a six-month-old at the time. When 

someone comes to me I really understand 

what they’re going through. I know they’re 

scared and I give them hope and that helps 

them to feel at peace.” 

Sometimes, according to Beaulieu-Fawcett, 

the person getting divorced is conflicted 

about whether to stay or leave a marriage. 

And Beaulieu-Fawcett admits this can be a 

very scary time for people. But, in the end 

she stresses it’s best to make sure everyone’s 

safety is of prime importance. “There are a 

lot of substance abuse cases and it’s rewarding 

to protect the client. There also needs to 

be a safety plan in place for the children. It’s a 


ewarding and creative aspect of family law cases.” 

The firm also handles complicated divorce appeals cases 

where errors have been made. These cases are often found on 

the desk at Beaulieu- Fawcett Law Group due to erroneous judgments 

made on behalf of clients. Another aspect of the practice 

has to do with helping couples adopt children from foster care 

or step-parent adoption. “Sometimes the biological father is out 

of the picture and the step father wants to adopt his wife’s child. 

That is a very rewarding experience as well.” 

When it comes to rewarding activities Beaulieu- Fawcett 

Law Group has a philanthropic bent. They donate 10 percent 

of profits to over 40 charities each year. And at their 10th 

Anniversary celebration (in November) invited guests were 

asked to bring a gift card. The organization that benefited from 

this evening of kindness is the 4Kids of South Florida. “We sent 

a generous contribution to 4Kids of South Florida, which is a 

sibling supportive foster care facility.” 

All these good deeds do not go unnoticed. In 2013-2014 

Beaulieu- Fawcett was the winner of the Delray Beach Chamber 

of Commerce Business Person of the Year. From 2009 to 

2016 she was named a Florida Super Lawyer, she has been 

a Florida Legal Elite, and for the past seven years Beaulieu- 

Fawcett has received a Preeminent AV Peer Review Rating by 

Martindale-Hubbell’s highest rating. 

Sometimes it takes a village to do this rewarding, yet complicated 

legal work. And Beaulieu- Fawcett knows this all too 

well. “Our family law firm is one of the largest in Florida that 

focuses exclusively on family law and we always need to work 

as a team. Our clients never have to worry; with a team they’re 

protected at all times. If an emergency situation arises there is 

always someone on the team available.” 

Nikki can attest to that. “The Beaulieu- Fawcett Law Group 

always looked out for my best interest. Stacy Beaulieu is smart, 

professional and understanding yet has a heart for people she 

represents. She will fight for you. If it was not for her I would 

have walked away with nothing and lost my home.”

Cleanliness Is 

Next To Godliness 

24/7 Perfect 

Cleaning 

We love Baby LAYELL - She is SIMPLY THE BEST ! 

by diane feen 


{If you ask Razzy Jacobs what he’s selling, he’ll tell you time. Though most of us 

don’t think of a cleaning service as one that sells hours or days, in his mind it’s 

one of the most precious things we have. And he is sure most of us don’t want 

to squander our time just as we wouldn’t want to squander our money. 

Does it look SPARKLING CLEAN ? 


“We sell you time by cleaning your place. 

We take this chore off your mind so you can 

use that time towards something else. If we 

clean your house perfectly from top to bottom, 

then you can use that time to improve 

the quality of your life or your career,” said the 

self-professed workaholic. 

Razzy takes a certain pride in the cleaning 

empire that he has built from scratch. He 

started out in the hospitality industry and 

then went into the real estate business. While 

flipping properties he was in charge of cleaning 

those properties. As business grew he had 

more houses to clean, which meant he had to 

recruit more people to help him complete this 

time consuming task. 

That’s when the light bulb went off in his 

brain. “I kept asking for help from my friends 

at the restaurant where I worked. That’s 

when I started a cleaning service, but not just 

any cleaning service – the best one in Palm 

Beach and Broward County.” 

If you listen to the regimentation and scientific 

logic to Razzy’s business model you realize 

how he has scaled a mountain in the cleaning 

business in such a short period of time. 

Razzy only hires women with professional 

cleaning experience. They must be clean, 

neatly dressed, have no visible tattoos and 

not smoke. They must also pass a very rigorous 

background check and have a stellar 

work ethic. 

Employees are also firmly educated about 

the importance of honesty and integrity on

the job (and in life) and are expected to follow 

his lead. “We don’t do surface cleaning, 

we do deep cleaning. We are thorough and 

after we dust a surface, we move the item and 

clean that as well. We make sure that picture 

frames are cleaned (not just dusted in place), 

sliding door tracks are cleaned, dirt and dust 

is removed from the top of ceiling fans, window 

frames are cleaned, baseboards, bathroom 

light fixtures and everywhere else you 

can imagine is also cleaned.” 

You won’t find a dust mite-filled baseboard 

after his crew leaves your home (or office) and 

you won’t find anything missing as well. “We 

are not a big franchise (or corporation) and 

believe in making sure our quality and consistency 

of service is always firmly in place. 

When someone thinks of a cleaning service, 

then 24/7 Perfect Cleaning is what they’ll 

hear about immediately. There’s a lot of peace 

of mind you get when you are guaranteed the 

same quality and consistency all the time. If 

my girls are on time, they’re late. When they 

come early, than that’s on time for me” 

Razzy is also constantly keeping in touch 

with his clients to make sure their greatest 

(or minor) cleaning tasks have been performed. 

He wants to make sure that - like an 

antique clock - his business and employees 

work like a charm. 

“We hired 24/7 Perfect Cleaning to clean 

our salon and they are amazing. They’re also 

reliable and always on time. When the girls 

are here (early in the morning), Razzy is always 

in contact with us. If we have something 

different that needs cleaning, all we do is send 

a text or a picture of the item and they clean 

it for us. Razzy is hard working and always 

there to make sure everything is perfect,” said 

Ariel Jarvis, Manager of One Aveda Salon in 

East Delray Beach. 

We love to clean the Law Offices of Lee Cohen P.A. 

at 411 E Atlantic Ave Suite 200 E Delray Beach 

We love to clean The Biostation Medical Clinic AT 3100 N Federal Hwy Delray 

We love to clean Woo Creative AT 135 E Atlantic Ave Delray Beach 

Perfection is something that motivates 

Razzy. When comparing his cleaning service 

– that does residential cleaning, housekeeping 

and commercial cleaning – he thinks fivestars. 

“I make sure my girls know what to do, 

and I speak to my clients to find out exactly 

what they want. I have a good memory and I 

always remember what clients say is important 

to them. It’s also important that my staff 

smiles and is always professional.” 

If you ask Kilburn Sherman, Managing Director 

at SJO Worldwide, LLC he’ll agree that 

Razzy and his team are top notch. It’s not just 

hyperbole. “24/7 Perfect Cleaning has exceeded 

all expectations with regards to managing 

the cleanliness of our office. They are 

friendly, show up on time, are trustworthy, 

and most importantly they leave our office 

spotless. Razzy has built an incredible team 

and I wouldn’t trust anyone else to manage 

the cleaning of our office.” 

There’s a saying that excellence comes 

from the top. That’s why Razzy Jacobs maintains 

his standards in the stratosphere so 

that 24/7 Perfect Cleaning can keep their 

clients happy at all times!

It Takes A Miracle 

And We All Need To Help 

By diane feen 

{ 

If it takes a village to raise children, then it must take 

a miracle to help those who can’t do it on their own. 

Julia Kadel learned this firsthand from a 

TV show. She learned that children with disabilities 

could play baseball with their peers 

in a special league called The Miracle League. 

And it moved her to act. 

“I started the Delray Miracle League to 

give children with physical and mental 

disabilities the ability to achieve the same 

dream as their healthy peers - to play ball,” 

said Board Certified Health Coach and Delray 

resident Kadel. 

A lot has happened since the Kadel’s (Jeff 

and Julia) started the league ten years ago. 

Back then they had two teams, 20 players 

and 20 volunteers. Now they have six teams, 

two coaches per team, 75 volunteers, Miracle 

Moms, a Miracle League Cheerleading Squad, 

a volunteer-run concession stand and a fulltime 

Executive Director (Julia). 

The Delray Parks and Recreation department 

was so inspired by the league (and the 

Kadels) that they renovated the field at Miller 

Park to include The Miracle League Field. 

The Miracle field has a cushioned synthetic 

turf to help prevent injuries, wheelchair 

accessible dugouts, and a flat surface to 

eliminate any barriers for wheelchair bound 

or visually impaired players. The game also 

Kadel Family 


Justin 

Ava (buddy) & Josh (player) 

has different rules: Every player gets to bat 

once in each inning, all base runners are safe, 

every player scores a run before the inning is 

over, each team and player wins every game 

and community children and volunteers 

serve as “buddies” to assist the players. 

How great is that? 

The answer is it’s amazingly great. But 

with this huge undertaking comes a need 

for support from the community. That’s 

why Julia and her husband Jeff (the cofounder) 

are hosting the Second Annual 

Miracle League of Palm Beach County 

Dinner on the Diamond – Boundless 

Dreams on February 25th. 

The event will help the Miracle League 

of Palm Beach County purchase and install 

an unrestricted, boundless inclusive playground 

and garden at the Miracle League 

Field. Proceeds will also guarantee that 

the league will continue to be free for all 

participants. 

This fun filled event, at the Miller Park 

Field, will include a cocktail hour, dinner, live 

music, dancing, craft beers, dessert, entertainment 

and a silent and live auction. Pastor 

Casey Cleveland will give the blessings 

and the Exceptional Theater Group (a special 

needs choir) will sing the National Anthem. 

Delray folks and visitors will be lending 

their cheerful selves and ethereal spirits to 

make sure the evening is filled with smiles 

and laughter. 

There are also sponsorship opportunities, 

donations and advertising opportunities for 

individuals and businesses. 

“A MIRACLE takes place every time our 

special needs athletes, volunteers and fans 

gather at the Miracle League Baseball Field! 

We need your help with fundraising to expand 

the league, improve the field and keep 

it “FEE FREE” for all players!” 

You can also donate gifts or services for 

the auction, underwrite the cost of an auction 

item, advertise in the auction booklet, 

become a table sponsor or attend the event. 

Julia has been honored by the Bethesda 

Hospital Foundation as a Woman of Grace 

and the Kadel family has long supported 

those in need in the community and the 

world. 

So get out and support this worthy cause. 

To whom much is given, much is expected. 

The event is February 25th at 6:00 pm at 

the Field of Dreams at 1905 SW 4th Avenue, 

Delray Beach 33444. 

“We hope you will join us and be part of 

what will be a fun and enthusiastic event.”

Creates Luxury Sea Faring Townhouses 

By diane feen 

{

Builders has upped the luxury ante once more. 

This time they have taken space and suspended it in mid-air. 

photo by melissa korman 

If you wonder how Seaside (and co-owners 

Tom Laudani and Patrick Whyte) have 

managed to create townhomes that take 

their cue from the finest of Mother Nature’s 

treasure, we’ll tell you. 

The ten townhouses, built at the new 

Seagate Yacht Club Residences, are an incredible 

testament to genius architecture 

and luxury modern detail. With the sun and 

sea as the backdrop these $3.5 million townhomes 

all have a few things in common. 

Let’s just say the details are a stairway 

to heaven, so to speak. Every townhome is 

4,200-square-feet and has a sweeping open 

floor plan, floor-to-ceiling glass, spectacular 

water views of the Marina, a floating staircase 

with glass railings and an elevator on 

each floor of the four stories. 

That’s only part of this elegant celebrity 

style residence. Each townhome has a designer 

kitchen with high-end Miele appliances 

and custom lacquer and hardwood 

cabinetry. It all works seamlessly throughout 

the kitchen so minimalism rules the 

room in all its culinary glory. 


In the first floor living room there’s a 

hand-carved marble quartz gas fire place 

with a TV niche for a 62-inch flat screen TV. 

If you’d prefer a more natural view all you 

have to do is turn around. There you will be 

greeted by the effervescence and thrill of 

the pristine water through the floor-to-ceiling 

windows that look out onto the marina. 

Feet from each living room are private dipping 

pools that lend an aqua elegance to the 

dimension and diameter of the townhome. 

And that’s only the first floor. The second 

floor has a guest bedroom, outdoor terrace 

suspended over the marina and an elegant 

powder room with cut quartz backsplash 

and hammered stainless steel sink. The integrity 

and congruity that allows light and 

space to uplift each residence is breathtaking. 

Each floor also has its own unique character 

within the boundaries of good taste 

and seamless modern design. 

That’s what attracted Jim Blumenfeld to 

the property. The marketing consultant and 

art connoisseur fell in love with the Seagate 

Yacht Club Residences on the spot. “We used 

to stay at the Seagate Hotel when we came 

to Delray Beach. When we saw these townhouses 

we knew immediately we loved the 

floor plan and lifestyle that it afforded us. 

We have access to the beach, the schools and 

all that Atlantic Avenue has to offer.” 

Blumenfeld and his husband moved into 

their dream home last July and couldn’t be 

happier. “We just love it here. The townhouse 

is fantastic. We even love the stairs 

(it’s a great way to exercise) and we use every 

bit of space this home has to offer.” 

It’s easy to see why Blumenfeld is smitten 

with his Southern exposure end-unit 

townhome. It has a magnificence that is accentuated 

by their art collection, good taste 

and space for a separate laundry room and 

private room for their dog on the first floor. 

There’s another thing that sold Blumenfeld 

on this city dwelling. “What impressed 

us as well was the concrete block, steel girders 

and rock solid construction. We have 

high rated hurricane glass and the second 

floor bedroom is used as family space. We 

also love the sky lounge.” 

If you’re wondering what a sky lounge is, 

we’ll tell you. It’s the roof top terrace of the 

four-story townhome that has a summer 

kitchen, stunning views of the marina, large 

lounge area, a Jacuzzi, fire pit and glorious 

water views - all accessible by a private four 

story elevator. 

The ten private luxury townhomes (worth 

$35 million) sold out in ten months. Though 

this fanfare and success is business for Seaside 

Builders, it surprised them. “I expected 

to be successful with this project but it even 

exceeded my expectations,” said Laudani, 

who 37 years experience as a residential 

developer of luxury single family homes and 

townhomes east of the Intracoastal. 

The rapid success of this project does not 

surprise those who know Seaside. “The timing 

of this project was impeccable,” said luxury 

real estate broker Pascal Liguori of Premier 

Estate Properties. “Seaside Builders has an uncanny 

ability to understand and meet the demands 

of high-end luxury home buyers. Their 

team is the best in the business. They’re always 

one step ahead of the competition.” 

Currently Seaside Builders has other 

high-end luxury residences just waiting for 

buyers to discover. But they won’t last long. 

There are five Key West style townhouses a 

block from the beach and downtown Delray 

called Seaglass Cottages. These luxury 

townhomes start at $2.4 million and will 

pamper your most discerning instincts. 

One block from the beach – called 150 

Oceanside - Seaside has six contemporary 

luxury condos with the same inimitable quality, 

style and lightness of being. There are 

also three elegant townhomes with spectacular 

water views and rooftop terraces at 215 

MacFarlane Drive and three contemporary 

townhomes at 101 SE 7th Avenue. 

If the word townhouse doesn’t conjure up 

thoughts of elegance and luxury then you 

haven’t seen the miraculous handiwork and 

inventive creation of the Seaside team. They 

have state-of-the art kitchens, open floor 

plans, glass walls, breathtaking sophistication 

and compelling details to make your life 

heaven on earth. 

If you want your earthly existence to feel 

suspended in divine luxury, then stick with 

Seaside Builders. They’re the largest builders 

of luxury homes and townhouses east 

of the Intracoastal and know how to build 

homes of incomparable elegance and tranquility. 

Don’t wait long though; their properties 

have a way of selling out before the 

lawn has even been watered.

A Gym Like No Other 

delray boxing 



{Five years ago, Michael Hockton and Richard Wilson Jr. had a vision of 

bringing boxing to Delray Beach. The idea was to bring boxing into the 

mainstream and make it more accessible for those who had previously been 

intimidated about walking into a boxing gym without any prior experience. 


The two had met and sparred at a boxing 

gym years ago and realized the social aspect 

of the sport was a key component. “We would 

box five or six rounds, then go for a pint and 

compare notes,” laughs Wilson. Thus, the 

Delray Beach Boxing brand was born. 

The gym, located at 2455 N. Old Dixie 

Highway in Delray Beach, opened last 

month. Hockton had previously owned a 

boxing gym in London. “It’s the same concept 

on steroids,” he said. 

Along with Peter Carney and Matt Fronzaglia, 

the lads have created the best boxing/social 

facility in the country, the first 

of its kind, and the first to offer a “ringside 

seat” at the bar which looks directly at the 

24-square foot championship ring. Fronzaglia, 

who brings over 28 years of business 

acumen, is no stranger to contact sports as 

a black belt with more than 14 years experience 

in Kenpo karate.

When you step into the 6,000 square-foot 

training facility you cannot help but be impressed 

by the decor and detail at Delray 

Beach Boxing. With a wide array of heavy 

bags ranging from the “Super heavy bag,” to 

the double-end bag for hand/eye coordination, 

and a plethora of speed bags, there is 

always something fresh to train on. 

The gym also offers 2,000 square-feet of 

strength training and exercise equipment, 

including free weights, treadmills, elliptical 

machines, machines for stretching, plus a 

high-tech NexerSys machine for fitness enthusiasts, 

professional athletes, and people 

hoping to improve their physical condition 

and mental acuity. 

“The best people I’ve ever met have been 

through boxing,” claims Hockton. “It’s where 

you find out more about yourself in three 

minutes (one round of pro boxing) than you 

do in a lifetime. Boxing breeds confidence, 

perseverance and respect for yourself and 

others. There are no ‘bullies’ in boxing. We 

are out to put Delray Beach on the map as 

the ‘hub’ for top fighters around the world 

to train, and give our members a chance to 

see the work ethic these athletes go through 

in honing their craft.” 

Delray Beach Boxing offers a social membership 

which entitles a member to relax 

and witness boxing, training and sparring 

sessions. And with multiple widescreen 

televisions in the pub, members are also 

able to enjoy televised sporting events including 

Pay-Per-View boxing and European 

football. “There’s live boxing in the ring 

while having a pint,“ says Hockton. 

All staff members have boxed and competed 

at the highest level. Senior trainers 

Justin Wright and Jonathon Campbell both 

trained under Hockton. “Nothing prepares 

you for boxing, it’s like running on your 

feet, then trying to run on your hands,” says 

Wright. “I’m a real technical guy, I’ll make 

sure they’re technically sound.” 

Wright also notes a large amount of interest 

has come from women. “Some are 

here to get a good workout and never get 

punched,” which is our morning class, “Get 

Fit Without Getting Hit,” he said. 

Delray Beach Boxing offers five structured 

classes Monday through Friday, morning 

and evening. A kid’s class will be held every 

weekday from 4 to 5 pm for children 12 and 

older. “We’re about life skills,” says Jonathon 

Campbell. “It’s not about going into the gym 

and just throwing your hands up.” 

A unique twist to the kids’ class is that 

it not only focuses on the boxing aspect, 

but also on academics. All students must 

keep their grades up to participate in our 

boxing certification program. From 7 to 

8 pm those in the “Delray Beach Boxing 

Academy” are put through their paces. 

The academy is made up of professional 

fighters or those with aspirations of “going 

pro.” The amateur fighters will represent 

Delray Beach Boxing in competition. 

The training staff will determine if one is 

ready for this level. 

Friday night fights are another feature of 

Delray Beach Boxing. While not compulsory, 

it allows a member to get the feel and 

experience of a championship bout under 

LED lights supervised by the trainers. And 

for other members, they can have a “front 

row seat” to watch the action while enjoying 

their favorite beverage. 

The pub does not offer food but has an 

original, imported red London phone box 

that members can enter for a direct connection 

to Delivery Dudes and order their favorite 

eats. Also available on “Event Nights” 

will be food trucks. Keeping with the boxing 

theme, “Fight of the Food Trucks” will feature 

a fun competition where everyone can 

vote on their favorite truck and the victor 

will return to the next event. 

For more information, go to their website 

at www.delrayboxing.com or call (561) 501- 

2855. You can also find Delray Boxing on 

Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Saving You Money on 

Luxury Cars 


{ 

“Oh 


Lord won’t you buy me a Mercedes Benz? My friends 

all drive Porsches, I must make amends...” – Janis Joplin 

It’s a pity poor Janis had to depart this 

earth way too soon and join the infamous 

“27 Club,” when she could have gone on to 

live a full, happy and enjoyable life down 

here in Delray Beach. And if such were 

the case, Luxury Performance Automotive 

Group might have been the solution to her 

little dilemma. 

By way of introduction, Luxury Performance 

Automotive Group, located at 1800 

N. Federal Highway, is not what you’re accustomed 

to when you first set foot in a car 

dealership - not by any means. 

Let’s start with the automobiles themselves; 

the showroom lobby could easily 

adorn the cover of a magazine catering exclusively 

to the ultra-wealthy. A red Ferrari 

coupe, a black Mercedes convertible, a black 

Ferrari convertible, and two Porsches are 

only a few of the high performance luxury 

cars on display. And - here’s the catch - all 

vehicles for sale here are pre-owned. 

“I’m trying to create something that’s 

not a usual car dealership,” says owner 

and founder Rod Rifai, who opened his 

owner and General Manager Rod Rifai welcomes you 


20,000 sq ft state of the art facility 

pre-owned luxury car dealership just three 

months ago. Rod, a Southern California native, 

had been selling new cars for more 

than 30 years. He used to own new car dealerships 

in Miami. 

Why the switch to selling used luxury 

cars? Rod cites two good reasons. Firstly, 

one can save a bit of money, he says. He 

photo courtesy of luxury performance automotive group 

points to a 2010 red Ferrari 458 Italia coupe 

with a mere 7,000 miles on the odometer. 

New it would’ve cost around $300,000, he 

says. However, his asking price is $180,000. 

Likewise, another Ferrari, a 2006 F430 

Spider with only 8,000 miles, is going for 

$150,000. It too would have sold for about 

$300,000 if purchased brand new. 

“There’s a massive saving involved,” Rod 

says, adding another smart reason to purchase 

a pre-owned luxury car is because 

of limited availability. “Ferrari only makes 

8,000 new cars year-round,” he says. “Your 

chance of getting a new car every year is 

very difficult.” 

Actually, when Rod sold his Miami dealerships 

a few years ago, he was counting 

on living a simple, less stressful life here in 

Delray Beach. “I had an eight-month-old son 

and I never saw him,” he says. “I got an offer 

to sell my stores. I wanted to be near the 

water. Living in Delray Beach is like living in 

California. I bought a house and moved to

Jimmy assisting a customer with a Ferrari 458 Spider 

Delray a year and a half ago. I moved here to retire; I had no 

plans to ever work in the car business again.” 

But soon Rod discovered the slow-pace, laid back lifestyle of a 

young retiree, (he’s only 50) wasn’t really for him. “I just wasn’t 

ready to go from 100 mph down to 20 mph,” he says. “That’s too 

slow a pace. I wanted to get involved with the community again. 

As a retired person I had no contact with people. I wanted to get 

to know people, my neighbors. And if your business does well, 

you can give back to the community.” 

Something else pulled Rod back into the business world: his 

passion for luxury cars. “I love all high-performance vehicles in 

every way,” he says. “They’re all different. This store is like a 

little gallery. I love each of them (the cars) like a child.” 

Speaking about galleries, unlike any other vehicle showroom, 

paintings from local artists adorn the walls at Luxury 

Performance Automotive Group. “Nobody has a facility like 

this,” he says. “I really wanted to create an atmosphere a customer 

would feel comfortable in, including the most discerning 

customers. I wanted to make this the Ritz-Carlton of dealerships. 

Everyone loves it when they come in here. They’re 

‘wowed’ by the experience.” 

In addition to sales, there’s a full-service repair shop for all 

European vehicles from Ferrari, Porsche to BMW and Mercedes 

Benz , plus a storage area for those planning to be away for a 

while and want their vehicle cared for in a secure air-conditioned 

environment. His staff consists of 10 people including 

two master mechanics. 

He sells vehicles to suit different people’s budgets. “We try to 

accommodate everyone from a customer looking for a $25,000 

European Import to a half-million dollar budget,” he says. 

At this time, 70 percent of his sales are done on-line, because 

of the limited availability of pre-owned high-performance luxury 

cars in different areas. He’s hoping in time to attract more 

local customers. “I want to invite people to come in to see something 

unique,” he says. “When they buy from us they’re supporting 

our community and local charities. “ 

And as further proof how much Rod loves his cars, a bookshelf 

in his office is decorated with multi-colored models of high 

performance vehicles, including his favorite, a model Jeff Gordon 

car, identical to the one he races at various tracks.

Fun for Everyone 

BY STEPHEN CHRISANTHUS 

{ 

Delray Beach is bustling as high season rolls on. Snow 

birds and visitors from all over the world are here 

enjoying the warm weather and all the town has to offer. 

Shopping Atlantic Ave 

Old School Square 

It’s the perfect time to check out all the 

restaurants, stores, and attractions that 

have popped up since you’ve been away. If 

you’re a lucky local, don’t let the influx of 

new faces scare you off, get out there and 

explore all the things happening. 

If it’s culture you seek, Old School Square 

always has something cool going on. Whether 

it’s amazing shows at the Crest Theater or 

classes at the Creative Arts School, it is the 

epicenter of the arts. Stop into the Cornell 

Museum and see “Fabricated”; which delves 

into the world of artists who stitch, sew, cut 

and glue textiles to create extraordinary 

art. A happening joint you may not have 

discovered yet is the Fieldhouse. Weekly 

events include silent discos, plays and awesome 

bands. The creative team at Old School 

Square has put together an all-star lineup of 

great entertainment all year round. 

Think you know all the restaurants in 

town, think again. With dozens on the Ave 

and just as many popping up throughout 


the arteries and back streets there is sure 

to be one you’ve yet to try. Banyan on the 

corner of NE 2nd Ave and NE 2nd street 

is brand new, and offers an exciting menu 

and cool atmosphere. After you hit them all 

you can always circle back to El Camino, a 

city favorite with an impressive number of 

tequilas and mescals and some of the best 

Mexican food in the county,no wonder it’s 

still always jumping. 

Delray Beach makes shopping fun with 

its non-chain stores and original designers. 

Stroll the streets for unique purchases 

you can’t find anywhere else, and head to 

Pineapple Grove to meet with the designers 

themselves. Start downtown and work your 

way to the beach. You’ll have plenty of cafes 

in between to fuel your fun day of browsing. 

Delray Marketplace shopping center is several 

miles west; there you will find a variety 

of cool stores and delicious places to eat. 

Dinner at Burt and Max’s is worth the short 

drive alone. Check out Frank Theatres Cine 

Bowl and Grille for a full day of fun. 

So whether you flew in for a couple of 

months or you live here year round and 

drive a golf cart, get out and enjoy the 

weather and all the fun things going on in 

Delray Beach.

City People 

SUZANNE FISHER 

Parks And Recreation Wonder Woman 

By Diane Feen 

{ 

Photo by melissa korman 

They always say if you want to get 

something done ask a busy person. 

Suzanne Fisher is pure proof of this theory. 

Fisher, the Director of Delray Beach Parks and Recreation 

has been leading this all-encompassing stretch of 

parks and beyond with diplomacy and diligence since 

she took the job three years ago. 

It’s not her first rodeo. 

She’s been leading the pack in outdoor ventures and the 

cultural arts for the past 21 years. The title becomes her. 

So much so that she’s held it in Camilla, Georgia, Jefferson, 

Georgia, Palatka, Florida and lastly Albany, Georgia. 

You could say that Fisher has been rehearsing for this 

position since she left the womb. “I started playing tennis 

when I was five-years-old. When I was 14 I was recruited 

to teach tennis for the city of Seminole in Florida. After 

that I worked and organized their summer camp.” 

Though Fisher was the apple of her mentor’s eye (Linda 

Kettell) she showed signs of athletic and competitive 

prowess early on. She started playing tennis with her 

father as a preschooler, but soon outpaced him on the 

court when she was in the 5th grade. 

It was in college that she cemented her future in the 

parks and recreation field. She graduated from University 

of Georgia Athens with a degree in Recreation and 

Leisure Administration and received a Master’s Degree 

in Public Administration from University of North Florida 

Jacksonville. 

That was only the perfunctory warm up for a career 

that’s dotted with outstanding achievements ranging 

from getting millions of dollars in state and federal grants 

to overseeing 800 acres of land, 76 parks, nine gyms, a golf 

course and two cemeteries. She was also in charge of an 

aquatic facility, baseball stadium, six youth baseball facilities, 

four boat ramps, a pistol range, amphitheater, Skate 

Park, 10,000-seat Civic Center and 654 FEMA-vacant lots. 

In Delray Beach, where she is an unsung hero, Fisher’s 

claim to fame runs deep. “Susan is amazing. She’s community 

oriented, intelligent, and has turned the Parks 

and Recreation Department from ‘Oh, we can’t do that 

program or event’ to ‘Let’s make that program-event 

happen,’” said Recreation Superintendent Alberta Gaum. 

You bet she does. Fisher is built for speed on her feet 

and long range planning in her cerebral cortex. She often 

has nine or ten meetings in one day and her phone bings 

with texts and emails like a coin operated slot machine. 

But that doesn’t bother the 42-year-old single mom 

whose life is built on hard work and kid glove leadership. 

“We love to see people enjoying themselves. We 

provide events that help people explore leisure pursuits 

and desires. We have 40 to 50 monthly programs that are 

also cultural and educational in nature,” said Fisher who 

whose small frame belies her King Kong like tenacity. 

Fisher also has a team whose efforts build on this 

Herculean outdoor empire. There are 95 full-time workers 

and 90+ part-timers who make sure the city gets 

its’ full due. You can see why. They run four community 

centers, a teen center and skate park, 1.5 miles of beach, 

two aquatic facilities, a tennis stadium, 38 clay and six 

Hard-Tru tennis courts, a full golf course and executive 

golf course, marina with 29 slips, one cemetery, two natural-environmental 

preserves, 40 parks and 200+ greenspace 

median right-of-way areas. 

They also oversee and permit city sponsored events 

like the Delray Beach Open, the Chris Evert Celebrity 

Classic and the USTA junior qualifying events. 

The hierarchy of employees that Fisher commands is 

so vast that a chart is taped to her wall like that of a family 

tree. There are eight division managers, 10 recreation 

supervisors, crew leaders, recreation assistants and labor 

maintenance. 

But this “can do” woman keeps it all straight, even 

though her office is as busy as that of a school principal. 

“Suzanne encourages diverse groups to collaborate 

on innovative ideas to improve our city’s parks. Even 

though she’s managing a large team and under a lot of 

pressure, she always finds a way to make herself available 

with a smile. Her kind and witty personality makes 

working with her a real pleasure,” said Mark Cassini, Co- 

Founder of Community Greening. 

Cassini is right. Fisher has an easy going demeanor 

and genuinely wants everyone to be happy. When 

asked why she chose this line of work she doesn’t skip 

a beat, “I love interacting with people of all ages in a 

community. Every day is fun. The meetings are differ- 

90 


ent but the goal is always the same: ‘How do 

we provide better services, programs and 

help the community.’” 

One way that Fisher has impacted the city 

is by strengthening the Public Art Advisory 

Board. “Susan has been largely responsible 

for transforming our Board into a dynamic 

force for action in developing the City’s 

public art program. She is inventive and resourceful 

in taking our ideas and shaping 

them into do-able projects, then finding the 

best way to make them happen. She does it 

all with good will and a fun attitude,” said 

Daniel Bellante, Chairman of Public Art Advisory 

Board of Delray. 

Bellante has a point. Good humor is a personality 

trait that follows Fisher around like 

a puppy. When difficulties beset her path, she 

says nonchalantly, “Everything happens for the 

best” and you know she means it. 

When not working (which is rare) she can 

be found spending time with her 15-year-old 

daughter Morgan or enjoying the downtown 

Delray street scene. 

But one thing for sure, Fisher is always 

working to make Delray a happy healthy place. 

“If you are interested in something we don’t offer 

let us know so we can accommodate those 

program requests. In the meantime we hope 

you’ll come out and enjoy the parks!”

Red Dragon Roll 

HOUSE OF SIAM 

The tradition of the great thai masters 

By Diane Feen 

{ 

Thai 

Photos by melissa korman 

food is normally graded on its ability to 

tantalite our senses. And it usually does. 

Jumbo Shrimp Yellow Curry 

That’s why we eagerly await a trip to 

House of Siam. This family owned and operated 

restaurant, with the fairy tale twinkling 

lights surrounding its outdoor seating, is 

simply terrific. 

It’s not only awe inspiring but a sorcerer 

of delight. The sauces are homemade and the 

ingrediants are artfully prepared to make 

each dish a culinary symphony of flavors. 

The menu is extensive and the daily specials 

add a delightful twist to the norm. 

Those familiar with this neighborhood 

haunt know that House of Siam added a 

Sushi bar to their Thai heritage. The good 

news is that their fresh sushi is equally as 

terrific as the Thai offerings. 

One of our favorites is the Red Dragon Roll. 

Made with Shrimp Tempura, avocado, tuna, 

masago and asparagus it was topped with 

Tempura flakes and Kimchee sauce. The fish 

was extremely fresh and the texture of ingredients 

made it burst with flavor. 

One of the specials of the day was Sunomono 

made with sliced conch rolled in cucumber 

with shrimp, crabmeat and masago. This 


tasty dish was so refreshing and compelling 

it was gone moments after the plate hit the 

table. And for good reason. The cucumber 

combined with seafood made it light and 

tasty with a unique subtle enchantment. 

That’s what makes House of Siam such 

a special place. Laura Samuels knows this 

all too well. The former psychologist, who 

moved to Delray a few years ago, feels the 

same way about House of Siam that you 

would a favorite relative. She goes there as 

often as possible and savors the delight of 

the Speical Eggplant with Basil. Though I 

often wonder why she doesn’t experiment 

more often, the bouncy brunette seems to 

favor the Eggplant. 

“The Eggplant Basil is superb and the 

sauce is delicate and tasty. The reason I eat 

at House of Siam so often is because of the 

quailty of their food and the delicate flavors 

that tease and tantalize my tastebuds. I always 

walk away after a meal there feeling 

fully satisfied, happy and light,” said Samuels. 

House of Siam serves comfort food for the 

soul with flavors and ingredients that cry out 

to be devoured on sight. The genius of creation 

lies solely on its owners Pian and Patrick 

who outdo themselves on a regular basis. 

The fact that they grow their own herbs 

fresh on the premises says a lot. 

“The Thai food and sushi at House of Siam 

is amazing. Everything on the menu is excellent! 

The food is authentic with lots of fresh 

herbs and spices and fresh seasonal vegetables. 

It’s the Best Thai food I’ve ever had,” 

said Jennifer. 

Arthur Brown couldn’t agree more. “I have 

been going to House of Siam for about 10 

years. The service is great and the food is the 

BEST. I highly recommend that your next dinner 

experience be at the House of Siam.” 

We don’t know if Arthur or Jennifer have 

tasted the Pad Woonsen, but we’re sure they 

would enjoy it. We did! Made with clear thin 

noodles it was prepared with onion, scallions, 

snow peas, carrots and stir fried with 

egg and chicken. This noodle dish can be 

prepared with chicken, beef, pork, Tofu or 

shrimp. The mild peanut sauce added a welcome 

zest of flavor. 

There’s another entrée on the Thai menu 

that always supersedes expectation - The 

House Sizzler. Call it what you will, this savory 

dish is always a winner no matter what day 

or time you go to House of Siam. It comes sizzling 

hot to your table as if it were a birthday 

surprise. Made with diced cucumbers, onion, 

red bell pepper and cashew nuts, its stir fried 

over freshly cooked spinach. The Sizzler is 

Special Sunomono 

topped with a pungent peanut sauce and can 

be prepared with Chicken, Beef, Pork or Tofu. 

“I’m not usually a Tofu kind of guy but the 

Tofu Sizzler was terrific. I thought the peanut 

sauce and vegetables complimented the excellent 

flavor of this Thai entrée. I’ve never 

tasted anything like it before and I really enjoyed 

it,” said Paul Ellenbogen. 

Vegetarians are not only welcome at 

House of Siam, but are revered there. Pian 

and Patrick’s loyalty to those who eschew 

meat, chicken and seafood can be seen by 

the nature of the dishes made in the vegetarian 

tradition. 

One of our favorite veggie appetizers are 

the Fresh Rolls. Made with sliced cucumber, 

carrots, rice noodles, lettuce and bean 

sprouts, they’re wrapped in rice paper and 

served with a tasty peanut ginger dipping 

sauce. They also serve vegetarian Hand Rolls. 

Vegan Sushi Combos, Vegetable Pad Thai and 

Vegetable Soy Sauce Noodles (called Pad See 

Eu) with broccoli and carrots in a tasty sauce. 

Fresh Roll 

If you have a craving for a spicy Sushi 

challenge – one that will awaken your culinary 

senses, try the Volcano Roll. Made with 

Baked Seafood, Masago and spicy mayo it is 

served on top of a California Roll. 

House of Siam is also open for lunch and 

serves specials (Monday to Friday from 

11:30 to 2:30) that include special Bento 

Boxes with sushi and sashimi, Teriyaki dishes, 

Sushi Rolls and Vegan boxes. 

A meal at House of Siam is tantamount to 

a trip to Thailand in all its culinary glory. We 

love the sauces, the combination of flavors, 

the fresh veggies and the expertise that each 

dish is inherently prepared with. That’s what 

they’re known for and it’s the reason they’re 

celebrating their 18th year in business. 

We couldn’t be happier.

IT’S CONFUSING - 

DO WE VACCINATE OR NOT? 

The questions surrounding vaccination 

programs for our pets and 

even ourselves and our children 

have become center stage lately. The 

debate has certainly created and is perpetuating 

much controversy as we begin 

to look into the safety and efficacy 

of these products. The pharmaceutical 

industry wants us to believe that we 

must vaccinate to prevent disease, but 

is that true? 

Our pets in most areas are only required 

to have protection against one 

disease and that is rabies. This is because 

of possible transmission to humans 

through a bite. It should be noted 

that the United States has been certified 

rabies free since 2004 by the Center for 

Disease Control. 

The theory behind vaccination is that 

we identify a potential disease causing 

a pathogen and expose the body to a 

safe form of that pathogen to build an 

immune response which subsequently 

allows the body to have a defense 

against that disease. Unfortunately, this 

theory is flawed in many ways as has 

been demonstrated in the human population 

with recent outbreaks of measles, 

mumps, and other conditions in vaccine 

compliant groups. Ultimately, the 

best protection for disease control is a 

strong healthy immune system. 

The decision as to whether to vaccinate 

or not needs to be based on several 

factors. The first is the risk to your pet. 

What disease conditions are they going 

to be exposed to and how dangerous 

can this condition be? If the likelihood 

of exposure is minimal as in a house cat 

or dog, then we must look to physiological 

factors such as the age of the pet, 

whether the disease only affects only 

certain age such as puppies and kittens, 

is it only seasonal like the flu, or is it 

self-limiting like kennel cough. 

It is obvious that the pharmaceutical, 

medical and veterinary industries have 

a huge profit motivation in the sale of 

vaccines. We must look beyond their 

advice that we NEED these vaccines 

and weigh the benefits and the risks 

involved in vaccination. Are vaccines 

safe? Do we know how they were tested 

and if they are truly effective? Do they 

really prevent us getting a particular 

condition or would the likelihood be 

minimal anyway? What are the ingredients 

in them and are we comfortable 

injecting them into the body? We know 

These pets are available for adoption 

that most contain toxic heavy metals 

and chemicals such as Mercury and Aluminum 

that are banned from disposal 

in our environment. Are they necessary 

and what is the risk to our health having 

these in the body? 

Another concern are the potential 

adverse events or side-effects that can 

occur. In humans, we can articulate how 

we feel, whether there is pain, tingling, 

head and muscle aches or other issues. 

Unfortunately, our pets cannot express 

these adverse events. 

We look to our medical professions 

to give us the right advice but we ultimately 

must make the right decisions 

ourselves. Ask the right questions, do 

our own research, and use that knowledge 

to make the right choices. Vaccination 

is neither a natural process nor 

guaranteed safe or effective. We must 

approach this procedure with caution.

8 Foods You Should 

AVOId On A First Date 

By Erin Weaver 

{ 

First dates can be daunting enough without worrying about smelly 

breath, staining your shirt, or showing poor table manners. If you 

want to enjoy dinner or lunch with your possible suitor but avoid any 

embarrassing mishaps, there are certain foods you should sidestep. 

You might not guarantee yourself a second date by avoiding these 

dishes but you’ll certainly heighten your chances of dating success! 

Spaghetti 

There’s nothing more 

off-putting than watching 

someone slurping up 

lengths of sloppy pasta. 

Avoid the mess and fuss 

of spaghetti and go for something 

neater like gnocchi or penne 

if you’re eating Italian. 

Burgers 

A hamburger can really 

hit the spot on certain occasions, 

but a first date 

probably isn’t the time for 

food you’ve got to eat with 

your hands. Greasy fingers, 

huge bites, and food smeared around your mouth 

isn’t a good look. 

Garlic 

The old advice remains 

true: Steer clear of garlic 

when you’re seeing 

someone new! The smell 

lingers on your breath and 

makes kissing a less appealing 

option. If you eat too much of it, you’ll even 

start to have garlicky body odor - ew! 

Curry 

If you’re a seasoned 

spicy food eater then 

you might get away with 

this one, but it’s best to 

avoid any food that might 

upset your stomach or make 

you sweat. Watery eyes and a gurgling 

belly won’t attract anyone. 

Your Date’s Choice 

Even if it appeals to 

you, try not to order the 

same thing as your date. 

You’ll look like a copycat 

and anyway, what’s more 

fun than trying each other’s 

dishes and seeing how they compare? 

Soup 

Ordering soup is a 

recipe for disaster - it 

looks old-fashioned, you 

have to slurp it, and it’ll 

probably drip into your 

lap if you’re not careful. Save 

soup for dinner with your family 

and choose something more adventurous with 

your date. 

The Cheapest Option 

If your budget is tight 

then try a free date like 

going for a walk or to an 

exhibition. You might 

give the wrong impression 

by ordering the cheapest 

dish and tap water, so try to 

free up a little cash or choose another venue for 

your date. 

Blue Cheese 

Many people don’t like 

blue cheese because of 

the strong smell and the 

fact that it is, well, moldy 

cheese. Even if you’re a 

fan, avoid this stinky option 

when you’re out with someone 

new and go for brie or goat’s cheese instead. 

Going for lunch or dinner can be the perfect 

first date but only if you avoid mess, spills, and 

bad smells. Stay away from these dangerous 

date foods to ensure a kiss at the end of the night 

and a second date in your diary!

Drive-Thru Cuisine 

By Rick Dickert 

{ 

Decades after the drive-in movie theater’s popularity has waned, the 

drive-thru restaurant window remains a fixture of modern suburbia. 

Even if we choose to enjoy our greasy burgers 

and fries on plastic molded chairs in the dining 

area of our favorite fast food establishment, the 

drive-thru window may be useful. When we’re 

feeling especially peckish, we can go through the 

drive-thru lane and grab a snack to tide us over 

till we’re parked. 

While the drive-in movie is nearly a thing of 

the past, its remarkably low fidelity speaker 

system is still alive and well and is used to order 

meals as we look at professionally photographed 

food items, airbrushed to perfection to stimulate 

our taste buds. Clearly none of that advertising 

money went into the speaker system though, because 

a simple inquiry such as “Hold the vanilla?” 

can all too easily become “No salmonella?” 

After placing an order, the driver’s told the 

price and instructed to pull ahead to the pickup 

window. This is not the time for him to become 

a correct change hero or search the glove compartment 

for napkins from a previous visit. He 

should simply drive up to the window with an 

eye for any vehicles in front of him, because it’s 

tricky to pass burgers and fries around the car 

once the airbags have been deployed. 

If you’re extremely famished, the drive-thru 

offers you the opportunity to buy several orders 

for your own consumption under the 

premise that it’s for more than one person. 

As you’re being handed several food items, 

you could say out loud “One for Betty, one for 

Gordo and one for me” to disguise the fact that 

you’re the only customer involved with that 

order. If you want to make it more believable, 

you could try to get different combinations of 

condiments to further the illusion that there’s 

more than one palette to satisfy. 

If you’re craving a more exotic item on the 

menu, such as a veal sandwich or broiled chicken 

breast, you may not want to order it from the 

drive-thru. If it’s not a hot seller then chances are 

they don’t have one on standby under the heat 

lamp and they’ll have to make it from scratch. 


In this case, you’ll probably be asked to pay for 

the meal and park nearby to wait for that item 

to be delivered to your car. If you were ordering 

Italian food from a motor home at this point, the 

experience would be remarkably like receiving 

delivery from a pizza place. 

Some people pick up drive-thru in the hopes 

of saving time. This can work, but the driver 

should not be dining while he’s driving. Even 

if he somehow managed to ingest a meal while 

operating a motor vehicle with no danger to anyone, 

there still could be the stigma of being spotted 

waiting at a red light with his knees on the 

steering wheel in the two and ten o’clock positions, 

holding a jumbo soft drink with a pound of 

ice in one hand and navigating steaming mounds 

of chili fries to his mouth with the other. You just 

don’t see that sort of posturing in the TV commercials 

for European sports cars. 

Sometimes you get as far as the next county 

before realizing that they didn’t actually “hold the 

mayo.” If you were trying to save time, you probably 

wouldn’t backtrack to set your order straight. 

However since the proliferation of mobile phones, 

you could have the option of calling the restaurant 

to voice your displeasure, but the fast food joint’s 

caught onto this. This is why their phone number 

probably isn’t printed on the receipt. 

If you’re a hungry pedestrian late at night, 

you may have stopped by a fast food joint only 

to find that the restaurant dining room is closed 

but the drive-thru is open. In this case, you probably 

have to be quite hungry to stand in line between 

a vintage Gremlin and a Hummer, walking 

a car length at a time until it’s your turn to stand 

beside the window and take possession of your 

after hours sustenance. 

There is a phenomenon from the drive-in 

movie era which hasn’t survived the decades. 

That is the employment of servers on roller 

skates to take orders and serve food while 

rock’n’roll plays on the outdoor speakers of a 

drive-in restaurant. While we may long for the 

nostalgia a similar mode of operation would 

bring today, we should keep in mind the culture 

of today. Rather than a charming kid on roller 

skates serving food to classic rock’n’roll, we’d 

be more likely to be subjected to an individual 

leaping our hood on a skateboard as a rapper’s 

bass drum stirred our coffee by vibration alone. 

Instead of a classic poodle skirt, the server 

would be more likely to wear low riding designer 

jeans and high riding jockey under shorts. 

This brings us back to one of the attractions of 

the drive-thru lane, and that is once you have 

your food you can make a quick getaway.
