Abacoa Green Market to Open on Saturdays

I’m looking forward to the Green Market coming to Abacoa this year.  Years previous it was always open late in the afternoon on Wednesdays.  The time made it hard for us to attend with school, sports, work, etc. 

The season opener will be Saturday, October 18.  Rain or shine the market will be open from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. every Saturday.  Vendors will be on hand displaying fresh fruits, vegetables, artisan bread and pastries, beautiful plants and natural goods.

Nona Maria’s on Northlake Blvd.

We usually never dine out on Northlake Blvd., but I’m glad we did Saturday night. We originally we’re going to try the Brass Ring — supposedly the best hamburger joint ever! I was completely overdressed for the occasion so we ditched that idea and ended up at Nona Maria’s.

What a gem this place is! It is the best kept secret in North Palm Beach. It is small, cozy and best of all not crowded on a Saturday night. Priced very reasonably, we had a full scale dinner including a glass of wine and dessert. All for $90 bucks. We loved it.

Joe and I both had a salad. He had the Mozzarella Caprese´ and I had a Walnut Endive Salad. Both were very tasty and yummy. For the main dish Joe had the barbecued ribs that were very tender and oh so good. I had the Rigatoni Carbonera. A spin off of my favorite Fettuccine Carbonara. It was just the right portion of food, was creamy and delicious.

We shared a Profiterole for dessert. Vanilla ice cream sandwiched in a puff pastry with chocolate sauce…excellent!

Give it a try and let me know what you think!

Hidden Gem In Jupiter

By Susanne Quirk

Today, I was out running errands and was reminded of one of Jupiter’s hidden gems, Dune Dog Cafe. A casual cafe that reminds me of Jimmy Buffet, Key West and Margaritas. Don’t get me wrong – it is definitely a great family place. It is a place where every local has dined (embarrassed to mention if you haven’t) and a must visit for every tourist, family or friends visiting the area. If you’ve been to Jupiter, then you’ve been to the Dune Dog.

The Dune Dog Cafe is tucked away off of Alt A1A in Jupiter. An open, outdoor cafe where the relaxed atmosphere makes me feel as though I should be kicked back on a boat listening to Jimmy Buffet. A nice little reminder you are in paradise! And the icing on the cake? Thursday night is lobster night for $15! Can’t beat that. They also have your usual fare – hamburgers, hot dogs, ribs, etc. Let us know about your hidden gem.
