The line that stretches outside of Boynton Beach's Green Owl on weekend mornings tells you all you need to know: this is one of the neighborhood’s favorite spots for breakfast and brunch! There’s nothing fancy about the space — it’s located in an unassuming strip mall, the dining room is a few simple tables and booths surrounding a counter, and the menu features straightforward diner fare, like eggs, bacon, hash browns, and pancakes.

So why is the Green Owl so popular? Many say it's due to the service. Regulars praise the staff at the Green Owl for their efficiency and enthusiasm. That commitment to service comes from the top, as you will notice when you spot owner Matthew McKnight working the kitchen and chatting with customers.

Insider tip: this place can get pretty busy for lunch, so to beat the crowds, stop by a bit later for lunch.

It has been nearly 35 years since Mamma Mia Italian Restaurant first opened its doors, and during that time it has become synonymous with consistency, quality, and convenience. Tucked into a shopping plaza in between a deli and a cobbler, this family-owned Italian eatery in Boynton Beach is building its second generation of loyal customers. Mamma Mia has also made it a point to keep its kitchen staff largely unchanged over the years, and that continuity makes for a better and more reliable dining experience for everyone.

Pizza lovers embrace Mamma Mia for its array of New York-style, brick-oven-fired pizzas, in thin crust and Sicilian varieties. Specialty pizzas include the Four Seasons (ham, artichokes, mushroom, and pesto) and the Brooklyn Special (pepperoni, sausage, meatballs, bacon, peppers, and red onions). Aside from pizza, the menu features Italian-American fare classics like garlic rolls, chicken San Remo, and a decadent tiramisu.

Regulars say that the portions are generous, so be prepared to take home leftovers!

No matter how large your closet may be, if you're a clothes horse, it can still be difficult to store everything neatly and efficiently. If you can relate, use these design-savvy tips to make your closets more organized than ever before.

• Add drawers. You might think that dressers are meant for the outside of your closet, but adding another dresser inside the closet is a great way to create more storage space for folded items. Best of all, you can choose a cheap, non-decorative option since it will be tucked away behind closed doors.
• Add more tension rods. If you have unused space between two closet rods, add another one using a temporary tension rod.
• Stick adhesive hooks to the wall. The walls inside of your closet are often underutilized, so stick temporary hooks to them to create more storage space. These hooks can be used to hang jewelry, scarves, ties, or hats.
• Organize by season. If you’re still short on storage space, switch out your closet depending on the season. Use flat boxes to store out-of-season clothes under the bed when they’re not in use.
