The newest hotel in the Area is the very trendy Ray Hotel. Enjoy the Embers Grill on the first floor for lunch, happy hour or dinner. Or, go up to the Rooftop Rosewater restaurant for drinks or dinner. I recommend the PinkDove cocktail with Blanco tequila.

Worth a trip to Boynton or Boca if you're a bagel fan... I go for the Whole Wheat Everything bagels. Also a Classic New York Deli- with Knishes, Blintzes and smoked fish platters.

Sightseeing

There are several beach options available within walking/biking distance from the Hideaway. Orange Grove Lot- If you prefer a quieter beach turn North off Atlantic Avenue. Here you'll have access to Oceanside beach services and be walking distance to the Opal Grand (Drift) Sandoway Parking - If you'd like access to the restaurants and bars, you'll want to turn right off Atlantic and park on the street, or go 1.5 blocks to the Sandoway Lot. Here, you'll have access to Oceanside beach services and will be walking distance to Boston's, the Sandbar, BurgerFi, and Cafe Luna. Anchor Parking Lot- A few blocks further south you'll find Anchor Lot. This is the beach for activity. There's volleyball nets (there's a volleyball in the laundry Shed), and there's the ability to rent water sport equipment.

Florida Daytrip #1- McArthur Beach State Park

This State park has it all- Kyaking, Hiking, activities for the kids, and a private stretch of beach on the Atlantic. It's 30 minutes away. I highly recommend.

Florida Daytrip #3- Miami

Miami is about 1-1.5 hour drive South on I-95. There can be a lot of traffic involved, so I like to take the Brightline. The new high speed rail service.

The Boca Raton station is 25 minutes to the South. From there, the ride to Miami is 60 minutes. You have a choice of Premium Ticket or Basic. The basic ticket is quite nice. You can order drinks and snacks on the train. The Premium car has snacks and drinks included, but for a price. I think going with the basic and paying for your snacks and drinks is the best way to go.

One of the coolest neighborhoods in Miami. Wynwood is about 1.5 miles from the Brightline's Miami stop. You can easily spend your entire day exploring this incredibly unique neighborhood. I recommend taking a tour with Wynwood Buggies. Take the buggie tour with an artist. You'll gain insights you would never be able to have on your own. After that, stop by Le Chick for a cocktail, delicious meal and artsy vibe.

Florida Daytrip #4- Bennies on the Beach, Lake Worth

Bennies is beloved by locals- so much so, that when the town threatened to end their lease with the owner, the locals went nuts- billboards, petitions, protests. It worked and Bennies will be here for the next several years. People go for the breakfast and lunch, but the dinners here are fabulous as well. The ambiance may be casual, but the food is anything but. Fresh fish selection, great Tuna Tostados (enough for 2). Highly recommend. OUTSIDE.
