NEWS: FREE MOVIE PASSES!

If you would like FREE movie passes (for YOURSELF AND A GUEST) just click on the links below.  This is a special Advanced Screening of:  "THE ODD LIFE OF TIMOTHY GREEN." 

Jennifer Garner, Joel Edgerton and Cameron 'CJ' Adams star in this Disney film, rated PG opening in theaters on August 15.  In the film, Cindy Green (Jennifer Garner) and Jim Green (Joel Edgerton) are unable to conceive, so they bury all their wishes for a baby in a box in their backyard. The following day they wake up to find a child, Timothy (CJ Adams), on their doorstep, but the child is not all that he appears to be.

You will need to print out and bring the e-pass for entry to the screening.  You should arrive at least 60 to 90 minutes before the screening begins because in the event that the screening is overbooked, the theater has a right to NOT ADMIT guests. (Also remember there is a no-recording policy.)

With thanks to Ann Rotman and enjoy compliments of 'Stepping Out Florida."

NICE ADDITION TO MIZNER PARK -BOCA RATON

What a spectacular addition to Mizner Park …and Boca! 
If you haven't yet visited the new iPic Movie Theater and adjoining restaurant, Tanzy, you're really missing something special.  The movie theater opened May 4 and it's definitely the upscale way to see a movie–relaxed in a reclining chair or in the Premier Plus, in a recliner with a pillow, blanket, complimentary popcorn served to each person, and a button to push for food service right to your chair!

I dined at the new adjoining restaurant, Tanzy and it's also upscale and remarkable. Why?  It's all in the details… with the finest cured meats imported from Parma, Italy, Mozzarella cheese from the Puglia region of Italy and a trendy  "Parma Bar" (like a sushi bar and perfect for late night snacks.)   Did I mention the 'boutique wine list of over 100 labels'? Our waiter told us they even grow  their own herbs in a little garden right near the outside patio.

We were greeted with a wonderful  hors d'oeuvre (prosciutto delicately piled on a cracker round that was smeared with goat cheese); then we had Cedar Plank Salmon (wild caught, of course-$15) and Pan-Seared Branzino (fish) with a sauce using Pecorino (cheese) -$16)….Delizioso!  Delcious!

If I can't get away for a visit to an Italian villa on the Amalfi Coast, I'll be happy to take another trip to TANZY!  

301 Plaza Real- Mizner Park- Boca Raton 33432    Phone: 561-922-6699
