Savor the Avenue With PRIME This Thursday, March 24

Now that Spring is officially in the air, there's no better season to enjoy the cool weather and dine al fresco in South Florida.

Why not transform your meal into a full experience and dine in a unique setting with more than 1,000 other guests at the longest dining table on the Southeast coast, on crazy delicious cuisine from some of the area's most noted restaurants?

Foodies, rejoice! Savor the Avenue, Delray's one-of a kind epicurean event, is taking place this Thursday, March 24, allowing you to dine smack dab in the middle of Atlantic Avenue from Swinton Avenue to East Fifth Avenue.

Deck 84 To Host the Palm Beach International Film Festival "It's A Wrap" Party

On the heels of Sundance, the Miami International Film Festival and the recent SXSW Film Conference and Festival comes our own Palm Beach International Film Festival, being held March 23 to 31 at various hot spots throughout Palm Beach. As a true South Florida destination, Deck 84 of Atlantic Avenue will be participating in the iconic local event, hosting the Closing Night Film & Awards Presentation on the evening of Monday, March 28.

First, get cinematic at Movies of Delray for the 7 p.m. showing of The First Grader, "an inspiring story about the universal human urge to make our lives better." The premise has us hooked: it's the true story of an 84-year-old man who, having never been given a primary education, shows up for school after the announcement that free eeducation will be available in Kenya.



Following the closing night picture, the Palm Beach International Film Festival will wrap up the nine-day celebration of film with filmmakers and the community at Deck 84, our favorite waterfront venue. Take in the view and stay for the award presentations of the 2011 PBIFF’s Audience Favorite Winning Films, dancing, cocktails and passed hors d'oeuvres.

$35 gets you into the movie, as well as the official after party. Buy your tickets to the Closing Night Film & Awards Presentation today before the event sells out. 21 and over only.

We'll be there - will you? What are you looking forward to seeing?
