Ann Norton Sculpture Gardens: Four Decades’ Worth of an American Artist’s Work

June 9, 2016 2:32 pm

For Ann Weaver Norton, art was a way of life from the moment she picked up a pencil. She was only five when she began drawing, and eight when she forayed into sculpting. So it probably came as no surprise to those who knew her that she ultimately pursued a career in art at New York City's National Academy of Design, Arts Student League of New York, and the Cooper Union.

At Ann Norton Sculpture Gardens, you can see many of her finest works on display. The beautifully landscaped garden showcases pieces in bronze, stone, and wood, and they span 40 years' worth of work. Some of the sculptures stand more than 12 feet tall, creating an imposing presence in the garden. But Norton's strokes are so meticulous, especially when it comes to her abstract Gateways, that you won't be able to stop staring at any of the pieces, regardless of their size.

Don’t Miss the Tableside Guacamole at Rocco’s Tacos in Boca Raton

June 2, 2016 2:32 pm

The quality of its guacamole is a good measure of any Mexican restaurant, and Rocco's Tacos' guac is off the charts according to Yelp reviewers. That could be thanks to the fact that servers prepare it fresh—extremely fresh. They whip it up right next to your table while you watch. Although it's a bit pricey at $12.50, it comes with Rocco's house-made chips and can be customized to your preferred level of heat.

Don't fill up on the guacamole, though. Rocco's Tacos lives up to its name with an impressive list of tacos, as well as other classic Mexican fare. Try the tacos stuffed with pulled chicken, slow-roasted pork, or spicy ground beef if you like traditional cuisine. For something different, order one of the inventive "street tacos." Your options include the Korean with hoisin barbecue beef and kimchi, the Brooklyn with a medley of pork and chorizo, or the more traditional Mercado with grilled chicken and yellow tomato pico. Rocco's Tacos also serves salads and tortas, enchliadas, and some signature house specialties—not to mention margaritas and other libations.
