Yay!! Savor The Avenue is back. This April. The beloved Delray tradition that makes you feel as if you’re in a European village, dining under the stars, is back. This year, there will not be a continuous five-block long table, but it will still feel the same with a series of tables designed to hold “pods” of people (for COVID safety concerns), twinkly lights, music, a great four-course dinner—right down the middle of Atlantic Avenue.

The event, which is a partnership between this magazine and Delray’s Downtown Development Authority, will have multiple safety practices going—and will be enforcing them. But that won’t stop the magic—and we can’t wait. Here’s the scoop:

Details

Where: Right on the street, outdoors on East Atlantic Ave., at tables stretching from Swinton Ave. to East Fifth Ave./U.S. 1.

When: Monday, April 19, 2021 5:30-9 p.m. is the date. Please check with DowntownDelrayBeach.com for the latest information as we get closer.

Who it benefits: Community Greening, a Delray Beach-based nonprofit dedicated to planting trees and protecting green spaces.

How you can go:  Guests cannot buy tickets to the event; reservations must be made directly with the participating restaurant of your choice (below). Menus are available online at Bocamag.com/Savor-The-Avenue-2021 or DowntownDelrayBeach.com/SavorTheAvenue or at the restaurant by March 8.

(And there are even fewer seats this year due to CDC guidelines.) Reservations reserved with a credit card depend on each restaurant’s policy. So be ready to reserve when the floodgates open! Visit https://downtowndelraybeach.com/savortheave for the most current details.

And hats off to…

Finally, special thanks to the DDA’s Laura Simon and the Delray City Commission for working hard to allow a safe, fun —and much loved—community event to return.
