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 />

details about Restaurant Month, please visit www.downtowndelraybeach.com<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-

Hooray! Your file is uploaded and ready to be published.
