On behalf of the staff of Atlantic Ave Magazine we wish you a happy and healthy New Year.

The weather is perfect, the streets are bustling and you have bragging rights over your friends in the northeast who are trying desperately to find a flight to enjoy what we have every single day.

In this issue of Atlantic Ave, we introduce you to romance Delray style, just in time for Valentine’s Day.

Speaking of romance, we also take you inside the luxurious new villas at Crane’s Beach House. Trust us, they are amazing.

February is also about tennis and garlic.

The ATP tour is back in Delray with U.S. Open Champ Marin Cilic, the Bryan Brothers and other rising stars.

If you haven’t gone yet, put it on your to-do list. It’s an amazing event and there’s nothing like sitting under the stars and watching world class tennis in your hometown’s downtown.

As for the Garlic Fest, this event stinks, but we mean that in a good way. We love it. And we love Mr. Garlic too, our own Tom Johnston.

Looking ahead to March, we also have coverage of Wellfest 2015, an innovative event that has come a long way since its birth.

Finally, we also give coverage to BeKind Delray, a cool, new initiative launched by the Young Professionals Association of Delray.

Keep an eye on this initiative and the young professionals behind it.

They are the future and it’s a good thing they are focused on kindness.

We can use more kindness in this world.

Have a great month.
