I want to go to check out the silverball retro arcade and also looking for inside things since it might be rainy. Thanks!

First time Delray Beach Visitors

My girlfriend and I (both 25) are visiting Delray Beach soon and staying near Atlantic Ave.

We’re planning on renting a car for the first day but what’s the parking situation like near the beach? Are there public lots or street parking that are usually available and how much does it cost?

We’ll be walking to Atlantic Ave every night for dinner, and we’re looking for some good restaurants that won’t completely break the bank. So far I’ve found El Camino, Elizabettas, and Vic & Angelo’s, but I’d love to hear any other recommendations or happy hours.

After dinner we’d also like to grab some drinks and check out some bars with a fun atmosphere and preferably live music. Any favorite spots?

Thanks in advance!

Fireworks (unofficial) in Delray

New to the area and curious to know how many individual houses shoot fireworks (e.g., 4th of July, New Year) around the Atlantic-Linton-Military-Congress area. Coming from Miami, it was like a “warzone” down there. I assume the age difference and many empty snowbird houses make this less the case.

My dogs and their future medicine dose thank you in advance. 🇺🇸

Looking for a girl i danced with yesterday at Good Night John Boy

It’s probably a long shot, but here goes.
I’m a 32M, and last night I went dancing at Good Night John Boy. I was there with two female friends from my building whom I had just met the day before.
At one point, two girls came over and started dancing with me. We danced together for about 10 minutes, and it was honestly one of the most fun moments of the night.
The funny part is… I never actually spoke to them. I didn’t want my friend, who had driven me there, to feel awkward if I suddenly disappeared to chat with someone else. I also assumed they might have just wanted a spot to dance since I was standing at the corner of the bar. But looking back, they both came over and were facing me the whole time, so maybe they were actually trying to interact.
In the moment, I was just enjoying the music and dancing, so I never made a move. Now I’m kicking myself for not even introducing myself.

Cocktail party space recommendations

Hi,

I'm getting married in the area in October and we're looking for a spot to host a welcome cocktail party the night before the wedding (instead of a traditional rehearsal dinner).

We'll have around 50-70 guests, and I'm hoping to find somewhere with:

  • Great cocktails
  • Really good passed appetizers or shareable bites (enough that people won't leave hungry)
  • A fun, lively atmosphere where people can mingle
  • Ideally a private or semi-private space

We're not looking for a formal seated dinner, more of an upscale cocktail reception for a few hours.

Has anyone hosted or attended something like this in Delray? I'd love recommendations (or places to avoid). Bonus points if the venue is walkable from Atlantic Ave or has experience with wedding welcome parties.

Thanks so much!

Looking for tennis partner

Hey everyone! I just moved to the area about a month ago and I’m looking for people to play tennis with a few times a week.

I’m a 30M, around a 3.0 level, and I’m generally free in the late afternoons/evenings. I’m happy to play sets, practice, or just rally and get some reps in.

If anyone is looking for a consistent hitting partner, feel free to reach out!

Is anyone else terrified about this brightline bankruptcy thing tanking our rents?

honestly the housing situation downtown is getting so ridiculous I don’t even know what to do anymore. My landlord just hit me with another 15% increase for my 1-bedroom near atlantic ave and his excuse was literally "property values are up because of the new developments and transit access"

like, what transit? brightline is literally bleeding billions right now and keeps missing their debt payments. I was reading a market breakdown from Larry Mastropieri about the potential bankruptcy and what it actually means for local real estate, and it just makes me so incredibly mad. These corporate developers basically used the "brightline effect" as an excuse to completely pave over delray and charge out of state investors 4k a month for generic luxury boxes. and now the train company might end up restructuring in court while we are all still stuck paying the inflated rent that was built on all that hype. its just exhausting. The city just keeps giving green lights to all these massive projects while regular people who actually work here are getting completely priced out. anyone else feeling entirely squeezed out of delray lately or is it just me?
