You don’t have to be able to pronounce it to be amazed by visiting this nature center.  Stroll the ¾ mile boardwalk that crosses between open water pond areas and islands.  It features gazebos and benches along the way allowing you to marvel at the naturalized habitat featuring over 178 bird species, turtles, rabbits, fish, frogs and alligators.
 
What a wonderful way to spend a few hours!

RED CRAB JUICY SEAFOOD
A gem of a restaurant located in Delray Square Shopping Center
If you’re a seafood lover, sports enthusiast and/or love your Happy Hour, this is the place for you.  Eat in, take out or have delivered some of the best (and inexpensive) seafood anywhere. Feast on shrimp, mussels, scallops, lobster and more- and mix in the most delicious sauce – (4 selections) your preference - - boiled in a bag with corn and red potato.  So yummy!!
 
Very moderately priced, daily happy hour, tons of large tv’s - - i luv it here!

If you’re looking for a bit of a cuisine adventure......
 
Thai and Vietnamese restaurants are becoming very popular in our area.  Contrary to public opinion, a lot of their dishes are not spicy.  You have a choice of how “hot” you would like your dish prepared.  In fact, many things on the menu are not hot at all.
 
Personally, I prefer no spice at all.  All of the items are clean, healthy and delicious.  You can order vegan, meat or fish.  Most dishes are quite affordable and sharing dishes can be the way to go!  Of course, all are eat-in, take out and delivery!
 
Some of my favorites:
 
NANA’S NOODLES
5195 West Atlantic Avenue
 
CHAIYO Thai Street Food
14812 S Military Trail
 
PHO DELRAY
6592 West Atlantic Avenue
 
That’s all for now - - Writing this piece has made me hungry!!
 
Until next time!
