Perhaps one of Delray Beach’s most underestimated hangouts, restaurant and bar 3rd and 3rd is coming up on its first year of business. Still no sign, you’ll need good directions — or the help of a friend who knows the spot well — to find this clandestine, low-key hangout. That…
You’ve heard the saying, “When it rains, it pours.” That’s usually a bad thing – unless each droplet is and amazing new eatery. Lately, it’s been raining new restaurants and bars on Clematis Street in downtown West Palm — or it’s about to be soon. We just broke news about…
