The Cornell Art Museum is located at Old School Square off Atlantic Ave. in downtown Delray Beach…read more They ask for a $5 donation. There were 2 floors of beautiful crafts & art. The large gift shop had a lot to choose from at different prices. We came for the Wine Down event happening right in front of the Delray Affair in April. Wine, beer & soft drinks were available for purchase & I got to unwind & explore the exhibits. The WineDown will be open Friday & Saturday from 12-6 PM and Sunday from 12-5 PM. Proceeds benefit the Delray Beach Chamber of Commerce & the Cornell Museum.

I have wanted to come here for ages, but the timing never seemed right. We were in Delray too…read moreearly or too late or on the wrong day. Last week, everything came together and we were finally able to stop by the museum after a nearby lunch. The museum is located on the corner of Atlantic Avenue and Swinton. We've passed by many time going east on the avenue. There is metered parking on the side streets. The museum is in the hundred year old plus Delray School House. We entered and were greeted by the docent/volunteer. She told us a little about the building's history and which classrooms were originally located where before the remodeling was done. She also told us that they have no permanent exhibits, and that all the art work in the building was for sale. If you were interested in buying something, you should inquire about the price of the piece in the museum store. The first floor was occupied with works by the American artist, Dorothy Gillespie. Although she was a painter, she also worked in many different media. She was well known for her creative, colorful metal works of art. One quote compares her level of metal craft and skill as equal to Chihuly and his glassworks. On the second floor -- yes, there is a big staircase, but we took the elevator from inside the gift shop/store -- are works by Chilean-born Gustavo Novoa. Approximately 30 paintings show colorful, luxurious jungle scenes with animals. The volunteer said his art reminded her of the lushness of Gauguin's paintings. On second floor, there is also an exhibit of mosaics from a Mexican school. They are portraits of famous people -- actors, singers, etc. You will recognize most of them. The tiny pieces are put together in intricate patterns to form the faces. In some of them, they incorporate other materials -- like a piece of jewelry as a broach, leather as clothing, etc. They are fascinating to view up close first and then step back to see the overall portrait. The exhibits rotate periodically. The museum entrance is free, but there is a suggested donation of $5 per person which we happily paid. I'm glad we finally got a chance to visit.

The movies of Delray are at the corner of Hagan Ranch Road and Atlantic Avenue. There is a large…read morefree parking lot right in front of the theater. Once we entered the theater I was overwhelmed by the smell of buttery popcorn. Wine, chocolates & snacks are also for sale. I enjoyed "Ethan Bloom" the independent film presented at the Movies of Delray. For $8 I had a fabulous evening here. This sweet coming of age film had an All-Star cast that was both funny and profound. The film touched on themes of grief, spiritual identity, first love & belief that faith and love can transcend religious differences. I enjoyed the background information presented by the director & producer Herschel Faber. Afterwards he answered many questions from the audience. I used to enjoy film clubs & events in my NYC independent theater; the Movies of Delray are truly a gem here!

For context, I rate products and businesses on a simple scale: 5 stars means I love it, 4 stars…read moremeans I like it, 3 stars is okay, 2 stars means I didn't like it, and 1 star means I hated it or think it's unsafe. I love this place. It really gives new meaning to "dinner and a movie." Honestly, the movie I saw was good, but that's almost secondary here. The real draw is the experience. Being served a full meal while sitting in a super comfortable recliner takes it to another level. I had the buttermilk fried chicken with maple syrup dipping sauce and sriracha ranch, along with fries, and it was all very tasty. I also like the brownie dessert they have. It's delicious. The theater itself is upscale and feels more like a luxury experience than your typical movie theater. I've been to other theaters that try to offer food service, some closer to this level and others that feel more like a regular theater that just happens to serve food. I definitely prefer the upscale version, and this place does it right. Service is handled well and doesn't distract from the movie, and they stop taking orders with about 45 minutes left, which I thought was a smart move. It is pricey, so I wouldn't go all the time, but once or twice a year it's a great treat and a really enjoyable experience.

My step mom and I went to an early afternoon movie. Unlike my previous experiences at IPic, there…read morewas no one in the theater when we arrived to show us to our seats, and it was difficult to find them. Typically, the wait staff is waiting in the theater to take your order. This time, no one came until we pressed the button on the table, and at that point, the previews had already started. If it was our first time there, we wouldn't have known to press the button. We both ordered chicken Caesar wraps, which were good. The sweet potato fries were crunchy and cooked to perfection. The food was good and the movie was great. Service just seems to be inconsistent. If you're looking for more of a movie experience, Ipic is the way to go!
