Delray Under $50<br />
Most Fun Small Town, Most Crazy Small Town, Most Small Town that Feels<br />
Like a Big Town. Delray has it all. With a bustling downtown, Pineapple<br />
Grove area, and little nooks and crannies in between, there’s more<br />
to do in Delray now than ever, with events and happenings<br />
spanning from daytime to nighttime. While it can<br />
seem expensive at times, there’s a great<br />
opportunity to enjoy all the City has to offer<br />
without breaking the bank. Here’s what you can<br />
do in Delray Beach in <strong>September</strong> for $50 or less.<br />
8th Annual Downtown Delray Beach Restaurant Month<br />
You’re busy, you’re tired, but you’re hungry. Even hangry.<br />
You might even have a partner and some offspring who are<br />
famished, too. What. To. Do. Think, act, enjoy! <strong>September</strong><br />
is International Strategic Thinking Month and is the absolute<br />
perfect time to head downtown for some mess-free, hassle-free<br />
and dollar-saving grub. The crowds are less, the temperature<br />
is finally cooling off slightly, and you’re in full work and school<br />
swing, which means you need a break. This is why the Eighth Annual<br />
Downtown Delray Beach Restaurant Month is calling your<br />
name. For the entire month of <strong>September</strong>, more than 30 local<br />
restaurants, cafes, fast-casual establishments and eateries have<br />
expertly crafted special multi-course prix size lunch and dinner<br />
menus, happy hour and brunch specials, and culinary events, all<br />
with a goal to fill you up but not empty your wallet. Expect to enjoy<br />
tasty treats from Amar Mediterranean Bistro, Bar 25, Dada,<br />
Drift Restaurant & Bar, The Grove Restaurant, Racks Fish House &<br />
Oyster Bar, Two Fat Cookies, and more. Try one, try them all, just<br />
make sure to give your kitchen a break and let someone else do<br />
the cooking and cleaning for you. Reservations aren’t mandatory<br />
but are encouraged! For specific restaurant information and more<br />

Downtown Delray Beach Craft Festival<br />
It’s Fall, ya’ll! Well, we as Floridians use the term “Fall” loosely,<br />
but it’s still worth getting excited about. <strong>September</strong> is Fall Hat<br />
Month so grab your hat and head outdoors because we’ve got a<br />
craft festival to attend. The Downtown Delray Beach Craft Festival<br />
is once again back in town and is a great way to spend a couple of<br />
hours over the weekend enjoying the outdoors, possibly finding a<br />
new piece for your home, and obviously not passing up on some<br />
of the <strong>Ave</strong>nue’s refreshing cocktails. The Festival is located at the<br />
intersection of Fourth <strong>Ave</strong>nue and <strong>Atlantic</strong> <strong>Ave</strong>nue and features<br />
crafters from across the nation. You can expect to peruse jewelry,<br />
artwork, photography, woodwork, sculpture, soaps/lotions, candles,<br />
ceramics/clay/pottery, and much more! It’s a perfect-sized<br />
event, too, as it’s not too large or too small, so you can make a<br />
couple rounds if you’d like. You can even get your holiday shop-
