🏆 Most popular this week
Curated by popular demand — here are this week’s most-clicked events, local spots, and stories.
Neighborhood crackdown sparks debate: Boynton Beach has tightened property and parking rules, in effect since Feb. 1, with stricter code enforcement. Some residents say it feels like living under an HOA and costs are rising — get all the details.
Shift from luxury turnover: Property records from February 8 to 14 show real estate in Boca Raton and Delray Beach stabilized, with $10 title transfers for estate planning, while Boynton Beach had no sales — get all the details.
Refresh your closet: Whether you’re after a statement bag, outfit-elevating shoes, or a just-right dress, Second Time Around Delray keeps a rotating selection of consigned designer finds that feel new to you, not new to the planet. Consider it a treasure hunt… effortless style included.
Sweet-tooth field trip: Family-run since 1992, Bulk Candy Store serves up nostalgic sweets, chocolate-covered bites, house fudge, and a 50-plus lineup of gourmet popcorn. Their quirky guided History of Candy tour is a fun detour when you want a serotonin lift, no espresso required.
27th Annual Delray Beach Garlic Fest @ Old School Square | Saturday (2/28) at 11:00 AM – Take a break from the bland and lean into Delray’s best stinkin’ party as Garlic Fest returns to its roots. Expect garlic-loaded bites, high-energy live music, signature drinks, and craft brews. Finally, a place where garlic breath is a love language — see the event listing.
Elite stays and spas recognized: Just north of Delray Beach, Palm Beach resorts earned top honors in Forbes Travel Guide’s 2026 ratings, with Four Seasons Palm Beach earning five stars and The Breakers four — see which properties were honored.
Gold & silver are hot: Coming off gold’s best year since 1979, the momentum is carrying well into 2026 with silver remaining one of the most talked-about assets. Curious why precious metals are back in focus? American Hartford Gold has a free guide that explains what’s happening and how people are approaching it today. It’s free – and definitely worth a read.
Compare rates for free: The national average for car insurance is around $175/month. Paying more than that? Same, so I did some shopping around and ended up cutting my premium in half. If you haven’t checked in a while, you’re probably overpaying too — here’s the comparison tool I used.
Nothing prepares you for a pet emergency: I learned that the hard way after charging $10k to a credit card for life-saving surgery on my cat, Miss Stache. As soon as we got home, I signed up for Spot. It’s super affordable – and reimburses up to 90% of the bill.
