Empanada Lady
Picked by Marie Speed, Group Editor
“Forget the bacon and eggs. At both the Delray and West Palm green markets (which should be your Saturday morning routine anyway), after your obligatory stop at Swank Farms’ booth for your fresh greens, belly on up to the Empanada Lady booth for the best empanadas this side of Mi-am-ah. There are a ton of different versions (I like the corm and ham and bechemel one), and it’s practically next door to the Havana stand, which has wicked Cafe Cubano.”
The Great Doggie Dine-Out & Paws Fest
Picked by Kevin Kaminski, Editor
“Tri-County Animal Rescue is hosting a veritable Doggie-palooza for our four-legged friends this Saturday at Sanborn Square. The inaugural event, which runs from noon to 9 p.m., features everything from ‘yoga with dogs’ and a ‘Yappy Hour’ singles mingle to a ‘Fur-Baby Couture Fashion Show’ and a ‘Smooch the Pooch’ kissing booth with dog available for adoption through TCAR. Event co-chairs Jon and Bonnie Kaye of Kaye Communications, along with their committee, have planned activities for the entire day—as well as specialty cocktails, a hotdog bar, pet-related exhibitors and live entertainment.”

Smart Security Camera
Picked by Valentine Simon, Production Coordinator
“I just had a security alarm system installed in my home, and I could not have had a better experience with Smart Security Camera. They are based out of Hollywood but I was told over the phone that they happily service all of Palm Beach County, Broward and Miami. The technician was on time, friendly and professional, and super efficient! I thought it would be difficult to understand the process and functioning of my new alarm system but he explained everything to me simply so I would understand. The products they offer are top-quality — the best on the market. I will definitely be contacting them in the near future for more services that they offer in home automation.”

The Cooper (Palm Beach Gardens)
Picked by Meshi Shoshana, Events + Sales Coordinator
“I went there this past weekend, and it was one of the best experiences I had. I love eating healthy so when I go to restaurants, I always order a salad. This time I decided to branch out and try the Farmer’s Market Vegetable Palette. It had a mix of all these local vegetables with all these incredible sauces on them. It tasted so fresh and healthy. I will most certainly go back there.”

Boca Raton Symphonia
Picked by John Thomason, Assistant Editor
“On Sunday afternoon, the Boca Symphonia will return to the Roberts Theater at St. Andrew’s School for its third program of the season. As usual, the lineup is dynamic, split between full symphonies and intimate pieces for string quartets, with guest violin and viola soloists Gareth Johnson and Scott O’Donnell lending their strings to Philip Glass’ intoxicating “Company,” Mozart’s “Sinfonia Concertante,” Prokofiev’s first symphony, and Bizet’s “Symphony in C major,” which anticipates his opera “Carmen.”
