📰 Most-clicked stories this week
1920s landmark reimagined: Palm Beach’s historic Vineta Hotel, formerly The Chesterfield, reopened Feb. 28 after nearly three years of renovations, unveiling fewer rooms and refreshed spaces under Oetker management near Delray Beach — get reopening and renovation details.
What the research found: On February 24, CX Research Institute named Creamy Flavors Boca Raton’s top ice cream shop with a 92 out of 100. Jeremiah’s Italian Ice ranked third — see how shops were scored.
Dive into gaming nostalgia: Right here in Delray Beach, Silverball Retro Arcade is packed with over 150 restored pinball machines and classic cabinets, all on free play with admission, plus craft beers and cocktails — see what classics await.
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.
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.

🏆 Gold and silver are heating up
Together with our sponsor American Hartford Gold
Gold just posted its strongest run in decades… and the momentum is carrying into 2026. Silver has become one of the most talked-about assets as investors look for ways to stay ahead of market volatility.
While many are still sitting on the sidelines, others are quietly repositioning.
If you’re wondering whether you’re missing something, AHG has a free guide explaining what’s driving the renewed interest… and how investors are approaching precious metals right now.
It’s free and worth reading before the next move.

🫶 This week’s top finds
Curated closet refresh: If your wardrobe needs a little wow without the guilt, Second Time Around Delray, Inc.blends pre-loved designer gems with true vintage finds, all carefully curated and ready to rewear. Expect inspiration, unexpected labels, and that just-right piece you’ll swear was made for you.
Wing night, sorted: Delray Hideaway is the low-key locals’ spot for crispy, saucy jumbo wings, cold pints, and easy conversation with friends after work. Choose your heat, grab a round, and turn any Tuesday into a mini weekend, no fuss.
Low-key screen time: Family-owned and refreshingly down-to-earth, Movies of Delray screens current films and the occasional special, delivering a cozy neighborhood vibe that beats endless scrolling. It’s an easy midweek night out, popcorn in hand, while the couch hosts someone else’s movie marathon.
Thinning hair? It only gets worse: A few months ago, I noticed my ponytail getting thinner. I tried the usual stuff (biotin, shampoo, etc.) but mostly just hoped it would fix itself… until I learned that active follicles can permanently go dormant if you don’t do something about it. The good news? You can get treatment that actually works with no office visits or trips to the pharmacy. Learn more about my favorite online options here.

Someone Googled you this week 👀
It may feel like an invasion of privacy, but unfortunately It’s the new normal. Whether you’re joining a committee, selling something locally, dating again, or just meeting new neighbors… people are going to look you up online.
Like it or not, the internet has a way of surfacing past mistakes and outdated information that no longer reflects who you are.
Thankfully, there’s a really easy way for you – or someone you care about – to clean up outdated results that no longer tell the real story. Learn more here.
