Delray Beach: South Florida’s emerging ‘it’ town | New York Post

Flattering article in the New York Post about our nearby neighbor Delray Beach. The article tells New Yorkers that in the time it takes to watch the movie "Divergent", they can be strolling Atlantic Avenue. They also point out that Delray lies between two international airports, which allow for air travel options. Delray's Marriot and Seagate Hotels get special mention. Click title for link. From the article:
 The town’s anchor has long been the Delray Beach Marriott (from $129), across from the ocean. It has always offered more than its name might suggest: Mediterranean décor, a spa lit by chandeliers and a Clefs d’Or concierge who knows more about the town than the mayor. This year the hotel rose to another level, thanks to high-end duplex villas with bathrooms bigger than most New York apartments. It also added 50 Ocean — an upscale restaurant with an outdoor terrace and picture windows overlooking the water — and Sandbar, an adults-only tiki bar that draws a late-night crowd.

Among other hotel options are Crane’s Beach House, which has a low-key vibe that feels like Key West, and the chic Seagate Spa and Resort. Seagate has its own beach club, renovated golf club, lap pool and the Atlantic Grille restaurant, where exotic fish tanks bring you nose to nose with sharks and moon jellyfish.
