Happy Sunday, Boca! 🌴 Hope you caught Beatles on the Beach this weekend — what a lineup. This week brings a brand-new musical at The Wick, a reggae festival in Delray, comedy at the Black Box, and a food opening you need to know about. Plus a couple of new spots that just quietly opened around town.

Let’s get into the week ahead.

Garden Butcher: Boca’s “Erewhon Dupe” Keeps Going Viral

If you have not been to Garden Butcher on Yamato Road yet, your TikTok and Instagram feeds are probably trying to tell you something. The small Boca market keeps blowing up as the “Erewhon of South Florida” — 100% seed-oil-free prepared foods, chef-driven bowls, and those smoothies that have people driving from Miami. The Strawberry Glow and Cloud smoothies are the ones going viral (and they are about $6 cheaper than the LA originals). Open daily 8 AM–10 PM at 690 Yamato Rd.
