An up-scale food and entertainment venue in western Boynton Beach, just east of Lyons Road. The Happy Hour is 5:00-7:00, with discounted drinks and half-off appetizers.

Friday, May 17 at noon: Lunch Bunch at Makeb's Bagels, 401 S Olive Ave, West Palm Beach. A real NYC-style deli in downtown West Palm Beach. They make bagels in-house from scratch, with no preservatives, but this is no mere bagel shop. Makeb's does it all, with club sandwiches ($7.50-7.99), gourmet sandwiches with side salads or french fries, burgers, and western omelettes. The juice bar has choices from simple to exotic. RSVP by May 16 to Amy on MeetUp or at 561-964-3283.

Tuesday, May 21 at 6pm: Movable Feast at Enigma Bistro, 2717 N Federal Hwy, Delray Beach. A unique cuisine, the product of the owners - Nas, from Brazil, and Adita, from Cuba. The entrees range from seafood paella and fresh local fish, through pasta dishes, to Cuban skirt steak and lechon asado (prices between $16 and $23; most $17-$19). And the caramel flan is highly recommended! The location is in the northern reaches of Delray, just south of Johnny Mango's; parking on site. RSVP by May 20 to Amy on MeetUp or 561-964-3283.

Wednesday, May 29 at 5:30pm: Happy Hour at Lou's Bar & Grill, 236 S US-1, Tequesta; farther north than my usual; I hope it will appeal to those in our northern counties. The emphasis here is on fresh ingredients, freshly prepared. The Happy Hour is 4:30 to 6:00, with $7 house spirits and cocktails and $5 house wines and draft beers - quite an array in all categories. Food features hummus, eggplant rollatini, flatbreads, calamari - and they encourage staying for dinner with a full range of pastas, meat and seafood. RSVP to Amy by May 28 on MeetUp or at 561-964-3283.
