🫶 We got your back

Books: You don’t need a plane ticket to find your next favorite read. Local bookstores stock everything from under-the-radar gems to cult classics.

Nightlife: From a Miami ultraclub to a beachside dive, our favorite party spots keep the party alive till sunrise.

Taqueria: From perfectly charred tortillas to fillings that demand a double order, PapiChulo brings the kind of flavor that requires extra napkins and zero regrets.

Bargain shopping: The best finds aren’t always on store shelves. Amazon’s Deals Page is like a never-ending treasure hunt where the good stuff costs less, with new discounts dropping daily.

Save: The average driver pays $175 a month for car insurance, but most of us are paying way more than we should. If it’s been a while since you shopped around, you’re likely part of that “most of us.” This comparison tool may save you hundreds.

Expect booty-shaking grooves, guitar wizardry, tropical breeze vibes. Bring flip-flops, not your speed dial.

🎸 Andrew Morris Band Trio Live @ Paddy Mac’s | Friday (9/5) at 9:00pm – Nothing cures first-Friday restlessness like an unplugged set by the Andrew Morris Band Trio at Paddy Mac’s, where country twang meets cozy pub vibes.

This weekend

🎤 Victoria Cardona @ Tiki 52 Bar & Grill | Saturday (9/6) at 1:00pm – Peel yourself off the couch and catch South Florida native Victoria Cardona, a one-woman jam band looping guitar, vocals, and percussion into an epic solo ride. It’s a hypnotic, improvisational, sonic and visual show that’ll have you bragging at brunch.

🚖 Soul Taxi Live @ Guanabanas Island Restaurant and Bar | Saturday (9/6) at 8:00pm – Dust off your flip-flops and hit our backyard stage for island vibes, since you’re not exactly booking a flight to the Bahamas. Soul Taxi’s surf-loving, globe-trotting funk-reggae soul delivers sun-soaked rhythms and a freshly rebooted lineup that’s been packing dance floors coast to coast.

🍏 The Gardens GreenMarket @ City Hall Municipal Campus | Sunday (9/7) at 8:00am – Swap your sterile supermarket aisles for a vibrant Sunday stroll through The Gardens GreenMarket, where farm-fresh produce, gooey cheese, flaky pastries, and handmade crafts await. Rain or shine, no pets allowed, so focus on your basket, not Fido’s muddy paws.

📚 Stories in the Park – Season Kickoff @ The Gardens GreenMarket | Sunday (9/7) at 10:00am – Fall is rolling into the Gardens GreenMarket for Stories in the Park, where Corny Sue the Scarecrow narrates farm tales to wrangle your little ones into autumn magic. Rain or shine, we’ll ferry the fun indoors if the skies start sulking, all free of charge.

💃 Swing Dance @ ArtStage | Sunday (9/7) at 7:00pm – If you’ve been waiting for a sign to blow the dust off your two left feet, this monthly swing dance at ArtStage teaches you Lindy Hop basics, then lets you test your moves to DJ-spun jazz. No partner needed, ten bucks gets you in.

👮‍♂️💬 Cops & Teens Talk @ Jupiter Police Department Community Room | Tuesday (9/9) at 3:15pm – Send your teen to the police community room, where cops, pizza, and real talk about mental health, bullying, or life’s other curveballs await. Earn service hours, air grievances, and learn that sometimes police badges come with pepperoni slices.

🦞 Cousins Maine Lobster @ The Quaye at Palm Beach Gardens | Tuesday (9/9) at 4:00pm – Florida meets Maine as the famed lobster truck rolls in with buttery rolls, tacos, and all the claw-some comforts. Skip the line: order in the Cousins Maine Lobster app (set your location to Miami, FL) and rack up rewards while you’re at it.

🏠️ Price is right – Jupiter edition

How it works: We’re going to give you some facts about a home for sale, including a picture of the outside, the kitchen, and one additional room. Your job? Guess how much it’s listed for (preferably before you click to find out).

Listed by: Sylvia Isaacs (Echo Fine Properties)

This single-story Hampton stunner serves up long lake views from a backyard oasis, while a lush preserve across the street guarantees zero nosy neighbors. Inside, it’s all about the details—think wide-plank hardwood floors, custom bookcases, tray ceilings with tongue and groove, and a kitchen that’s basically a chef’s playground with SubZero and Wolf appliances, a butler’s pantry, and a walk-in pantry that could double as a hide-and-seek arena.

Five bedrooms (plus a flex room), five and a half baths, and a three-car garage mean there’s space for everyone and their hobbies. Smart home tech, a whole-house generator, and a fortress of Sylvester Palms keep things breezy and secure, just minutes from beaches, parks, and top-notch eats.

Make your guess, then (and only then)… see how much it costs →
