New iPic movie theater opens in Mizner Park- Boca Raton!
WHAT AN EXPERIENCE!!! I've been there–YOU'VE GOT TO SEE THIS!
You won't believe how upscale iPic Theater is- from the sophisticated bar and restaurant ( even to the elegant restrooms!)-The long-vacant space at the south end of Mizner Park has been totally redesigned.
The new theater has been reconfigured with only 40 to 60 seats in each of eight spaces. The luxury section has push-button recliners and has a push button in the console to call for food service! Wow! The "Premium Plus" seats are recliners and each guest has his own ultra-soft blanket and pillow!
The lower-priced seats up front are leather, and movie goers can buy food there and bring it in while they watch. The box office is inside, but patrons can also buy tickets and pick their seats in advance online.
iPic Entertainment president and CEO (and former Muvico founder) Hamid Hashemi, formed iPic in 2007. The company now has eight locations in Arizona, California, Illinois, Washington, Wisconsin and Texas—DON'T MISS CHECKING THIS PLACE OUT!!

May 5, 2012-First Annual Golf Fundraiser for Catherine's Hope For A Cure- The event will take place
at the Ocean Breeze Country Club in Boca Raton- Tickets are $121 and include the golf game, breakfast, lunch, a month-long membership to Ocean Breeze and more-Take a swing at "Batten Disease" and join your friends at the First Annual Golf Fundraiser for Catherine's Hope for a Cure. The newly formed non-profit was founded by long-time Boca Raton resident Catherine Abbott-Horowitz. After months of suffering from an array of neurological problems, Catherine was finally diagnosed with Batten disease, which is a progressive, always fatal neuro-degenerative condition for which there is no cure. Upon learning of her diagnosis, Catherine was determined to help others around the world by starting a 501(c)3 that would fund critical research being done by Massachusetts General Hospital and University College London. So far, she has already raised over $100,000 from her grassroots efforts, and she hopes this golf tournament will bring a greater awareness about a disease that is often misdiagnosed.-Tournament is at 5800 NW 2nd Avenue-Boca Raton-561-994-0400-To find out more about the First Annual Tournament, to become a sponsor, or to learn more about Batten Disease, please visit www.catherineshopeforacure.org

HERE ARE 3 I'LL BET YOU'VE NEVER DONE BEFORE! Good for visitors coming into town when you're being thrust into the role of tour guide? 1. "You've heard of swimming with dolphins, now how about biking with gators?" Try two-wheeling the Everglades' Shark Valley for a "sporty, authentic and jaw-dropping" adventure. Just be warned: the gator's winsome smile might actually appear "right up on the trail!" Or get a bite of the action on Buffalo Tiger's Airboat Tour of Florida's wetlands. The fact that the alligators were "close enough to touch" makes this perfect for visiting out-of-town guests. And with tickets starting at $20, it ain't going to cost you an arm and a leg! 2. go 'camera crazy' at Coral Castle -One visitor said: "This astounding and mysterious coral marvel was built by a lovesick man" for his estranged fiancée. What's bonkers is that he chiseled Miami's version of Stonehenge "by moonlight, without modern equipment!" The Venetian Pool is Coral Gables' claim to rock stardom. With waterfalls, cave-like grottos and its signature bridge, you'll feel removed from civilization! To experience nature's finest flora, visit the Fairchild Garden. Or to a lesser-known retreat that most people in Miami have no idea even exists: The Kampong is the former abode of famed horticulturalist David Fairchild and is "worth the visit for the serenity and exotic greenery." 3. Make Miami's enviable bay your next port of call and take a Thriller of a speed boat ride: One visitor said: "The worth-every-penny moment came when we jumped the wake of another boat . I felt like we were in an action movie!" And if the only running you're doing is into Miami's arms, South Pointe Park is picturesque. One visitor said: "Once you've had your fill of ogling the beautiful boats, swing over to Joe's Take Away for a few claws to polish off on the grass outside. It's a little slice of utopia!"

"Look, I eat really well and I work out, but I also indulge when I want to. I don't starve myself in an extremist way. You're not taking away my coffee or my dairy or my glass of wine because I'd be devastated."
