Mario’s Market
Picked by Marie Speed, Group Editor
“In my ongoing search for small private markets, I was delighted to find Mario’s Market, a full-on Italian market complete with meats, bakery, pastas, sauces, wines, prepared foods, herbs—the works. And at un-Boca prices. Small, friendly, everything you need in whole foods without the designer nonsense.”

Flywheel
Picked by Meshi Shoshana, Events + Sales Coordinator
“I love going to Maria’s class at 5:30 p.m. on Wednesdays. Getting up at 5 each morning drains me out, but she still manages to pump me up at the end of the day. It’s 45 minutes where I can just put my cell phone away and have my time to zone out and breathe. She plays all sorts of music from Ricky Martin to the latest Iggy Azalea. This is truly a class you don’t want to miss.”

Eleven Salon & Spa
Picked by Stefanie Cainto, Web Editor
“Bit the bullet and got my never-colored, blacker than black hair done in a mild ombre/bayalage type do. My stylist, Walky, was fabulous, patient and knowledgeable. She should win an award for her attention to detail and genuine, professional knowledge – no seriously, I was there well after hours because she wanted to get the color right. ” Note: the salon runs a special for first time customers. $79 for cut, style, color and blowdry. Additional charges will apply for anything extra.

Bambini’s Garden Pizzeria
Picked by Karen Jacaruso, Account Executive
“The best pizza I’ve had since moving to South Florida 20 years ago. Bambinis is owned by the same family who owns The Boys Market, Grandmas Bakery, and the Girls Strawberry Picking Patch – which I also endorse. Anything these people touch is a success and GOOD!!! The pizza at Bambinis is real “up north style” pizza. I lived in New York City for 10 years, so that is quite the compliment. The crust is crispy and flavorful, and the blend of cheeses they use are perfection!!”
