TRAVEL & CULTURE


And even if you’ve never considered
tasting raw oysters, you can’t help but
be persuaded by the menu at City
Oyster & Sushi Bar, where you can
try an incredible array of bivalves in
orders of two, so you don’t have to
commit to a whole platterful. Serving
brunch (with unlimited mimosas
or Bloody Marys for $13 with your
entrée) plus lunch and dinner, City
Oyster is a beautiful, airy restaurant
that combines white-tablecloth food
and refined service with a beach-
casual attitude.
Just in case you’re interested
in something other than food, check
out the Cornell Art Museum at Old
School Square. It’s housed in a 1913
schoolhouse and brings contempo-
rary art to the city.
One of the quirkiest attractions
in Delray Beach is the Silverball
Museum, a throwback vintage
arcade. Forgoing the need for change
machines and pockets full of quarters,
the Silverball lets you play anything
you want as many times as you can
get to the head of the line for $10 an
hour. That’s some budget-friendly fun.

restaurant scene. Caffe Luna Rosa,
right across South Ocean Boulevard
from the beach, has an old-school
Italian vibe, and the breakfast pizza
will fortify you for half the day. On
the other side of the drawbridge that
crosses the Intracoastal Waterway,
find Deck 84 right on the water. Their
shrimp tacos with fresh guacamole
are served in threes, but good luck
cleaning your plate.

El Camino serves super tasty
Mexican food, and its drinks are
made with freshly squeezed juices.
(Make it your last stop, or you’ll be
tempted to park there for the duration.)
Gary Rack’s Farmhouse Kitchen is
a lively little eatery that’s packed for
lunch. Try the chicken flatbread with
shaved Granny Smith apples on top.

Your Private Beach Club
No need to sacrifice an ocean
view when you stay downtown
at the Colony Hotel & Cabaña
Club. You’ll be shuttled right to
the hotel’s beachside pool.
