for many moons to come. The Arts Warehouse is opening their
doors for the Fall/Winter Warehouse Market, which is a special
pop-up marketplace of fine artists, makers, creative and more.
It’s a perfect place to not only support your local art-repreneurs
and find some unique goods for your art collection and home,
but it’ll provide an excellent opportunity to get some gifts for
your friends or family members. The Friday Night Preview is
Friday, November 22 from 6 to 8pm and costs a cool $5 to get
the first looks at the goods. Or, show up on Saturday, November
23 from 10:30am to 2:30pm and enjoy free admission. The Arts

Do you know how veganism is helping the planet? If not,
it helps to combat world hunger, conserves water, cleans
the soil, reduces energy consumption, purifies the air,
and more. So, what are you waiting for? Even if you aren’t into a
completely meat and dairy free diet, take small steps for certain
meals each week or month. November is World Vegan Month
and you’re invited to help the Earth and your body by indulging
in a plant-based diet (or, at least try it). You don’t have to go far
because Delray is home to The New Vegan, which is a restaurant
that focuses on not only making great and diverse vegan cuisine,
but also educating the community on the benefits of eating
vegan. Don’t miss the falafel burger, made with dehydrated
garbanzo and fava beans, fajita and garlic for $16, or sink your
teeth into the Palm Toona melt, with hearts of palm mixed with
sweet peppers, fennel, almonds and celery, served with lettuce,
tomato and melted dairy-free cheese on bread for $15. If you’re
in a rush, enjoy the vegan milkshake for $9 or the green veggie
smoothie with kale, spinach, cucumber, celery, ginger, coconut
water and frozen pineapples for $10. Whatever you get, it’s going
to taste deliciously healthy, and you’ll feel good knowing
you’re making a difference, one bite at a time. The New Vegan
is located at 528 NE Second St. Visit www.thenewvegan.com or
call (561) 404-5301 for more information.
With work, school, extracurricular activities, hobbies,
and planning for the future, it’s easy to get swept
up in the calendar without recognizing how you’re
spending your time, especially as a family. Thanksgiving time is
a great time to slow down, hang out and be together, and what
better way than throwing in a little group activity with some
pre-Thanksgiving exercise! Saturday, November 23 is Family
Volunteer Day is a great time to volunteer a little slice of your
weekend and hit the pavement to burn some cake calories and
enjoy the fresh air. The 33rd Annual Delray Beach Turkey Trot
is here to spoil you with a fun jaunt along A1A and since it’s a
timed event and your family will be with you, it’s a great opportunity
for friendly competition. Whoever loses gets to do
Thanksgiving dishes, and whoever wins gets to instead enjoy a
post-meal nap? Early bird fees are $10 for runners 14 years old
or younger, or $25 for runners 15 and older. The Trot begins at
Anchor Park, 340 S. Ocean Blvd., but you’re encouraged to arrive
early and park at Sandoway and Ingraham Parks as there
is no parking at Anchor Park. So, lace up the sneakers, stretch it
out, and enjoy your trot, my little turkeys. Please visit www.delreaybeachfl.gov
or call (561) 243-7000 for more information.
