Delray Greenmarket
Picked by Nancy Kumpulainen, Art Director
“There are so many wonderful vendors at the Delray Greenmarket! It happens every Saturday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Old School Square. I ended up with some amazing finds, like homemade granola from Laurie’s Pantry, organic wellness products from Taspen’s, Indian yummies from Nisha’s Indian Food, and a vegan, gluten-free chocolate chip strudel cake from Amy’s Lil’ Chunks of Love. Most vendors offer free samples too. I can’t wait to go back!”

Man of La Mancha
Picked by John Thomason, Assistant Editor
“Miguel de Cervantes’ 17th century masterpiece “Don Quixote” gave our culture more than just one of my favorite adjectives, in ‘quixotic.’ It also gave us the whole tilting-and-windmills axiom, a 1959 teleplay called “I, Quixote” and, perhaps best of all, the 1965 musical “Man of La Mancha,” which imagines the noble, anachronistic knight engaged in a play within a play while he awaits a hearing with the Spanish Inquisition. Boasting some 30 musical numbers anchored by the transcendent hit “The Impossible Dream,” “Man of La Mancha” is both entertaining and sophisticated, and is perhaps the jewel in the Wick Theatre’s 2014-2015 season. Broadway veteran George Dvorsky will star as Quixote in a production that runs Feb. 27 to March 28.”

Liquid Nitrogen Ice Cream by Potions in Motion
Picked by Stefanie Cainto, Web Editor
“A creamy delight concocted in a whoosh of liquid nitrogen. Potions in Motion provided this incredible dessert at our Ice Ball this week – and it wasn’t just a delicious treat. It was a sight to see. The catering company prepares the creamy mixture on site, before blasting it with liquid nitrogen – which is so cold, it turns it into ice cream in a matter of seconds. We tried it in coconut and cookies and cream, both of which we give two thumbs up.”
