Rex Baron – VRex Lounge

by

Rex Baron-VRex Virtual Realty Lounge

Looking to escape reality and spend time with the dinosaurs or pilot a plane? Head to Boca’s Boca’s Rex Baron restaurant and hi-tech VRex Lounge.

Located at Town Center Mall in the Nordstrom wing, the virtual reality lounge and post-apocalyptic dining experience are opened after some unanticipated delays.

The second outpost in the Rex Gryphon Restaurant Group concept opened to the public on Dec. 12 after a private VIP reception was held the night before.

The VIP party was attended by the Rex Gryphon Restaurant Group’s executive team and its newest member former NFL New York Giants running back and Dancing with the Stars winner Rashad Jennings.

The former football star, New York Times bestselling author and youth advocate is spending some his time developing and increasing awareness of the REX, Restaurant, Entertainment, Experience, Vigilante Post brand.

“Rashad was intrigued with the restaurant group’s positive message of rebuilding community as this is something he does each and every day through The Rashad Jennings Foundation,” shared hospitality industry veteran and lead developer of Rex Gryphon’s vigilante posts Michael Norris. ”We look forward to his valued contribution to Rex Gryphon where he will be focusing on both the brand’s healthy menu offerings and an increased alignment with charity causes.”

At the grand opening, Jennings told the Delray Newspaper that the chicken wings are the best he has ever tasted. He also shared that is gluten free and the menu items can accommodate many dietary restrictions.

Before food was served, guests were invited to experience flying a plane, driving a race car or painting like Picasso in the VRex Lounge. Exclusively outfitted by VRgineers based in Prague, the lounges will be the only public VR venues in the world offering XTAL, the world’s first VR headset with AutoEye and embedded

 Leap Motion with 5k resolution.

From there, folks entered the dining room where “the art of food meets the art of survival.

“To disrupt and excel in an ever-evolving industry, we have created and mastered the REX at our posts by offering a high quality, healthy and delicious menu with a storied, rustic, new world cross-generational atmosphere that engages and stimulates,” Norris said. “We look forward to sharing the REX with greater South Florida, its residents and businesses, and visitors, as it is an easy drive from Miami to Stuart.”

The Breakers – Summer Renovations

by

The Breakers – Summer Renovations

Something was clearly afoot at The Breakers this summer — a new custom-designed carpet in the lobby that adds a touch of vibrant color to the Palm Beach hotel’s classical architecture.

The first thing visitors see is the single-piece creation, which is 161 feet long, 25 feet wide and weighs 1,500 pounds, bursting into bloom with lilies, amaranths, irises and other flowers.

It was designed by Adam Tihany of Tihany Design in New York, who has worked on other iconic properties, including The Beverly Hills Hotel, the Belmond Hotel Cipriani in Venice, and the Four Seasons in Dubai.

“We thought the whole theme of flowers and joy is what guests at The Breakers would expect,” Tihany said in a phone interview. “They’re coming there to have a good time. It’s a relatively classical motif, but it’s done in a modern way.

“When you walk into the hotel, you’re in the midst of a never-ending bloom. Everything is growing and there’s a splash of color and happiness. …“For us the question was, how to do you keep the beautiful architecture of the lobby and make it even better without starting to bring in other designs? I thought the carpet pretty much sums it up.”

It took a year to have the piece, produced by 35 weavers at Sacco Carpet in New York, made. “We kept following up on the progress,” Tihany said. “It was like painting a mural.”

The carpet has 70 different colors. Sara Flight, communications director, calls it “the pièce de résistance” of the lobby’s new look.

Earlier, Tihany redesigned two of The Breakers signature suites, The Imperial and Royal Poinciana. The Imperial now has a luxury yacht theme.

“The positioning of the suite is such that when you walk in, you’re basically surrounded by water,” he said. “So, we thought that the boat theme would be appropriate.”

“You walk in and you say ‘Hey, I’m on a great yacht here!’ That’s the reaction we were hoping to solicit,” he said. “It’s inspired by nautical details and the kinds of colors you’d expect to find.”

More space can be added to the 1,700-square-foot suite by opening up adjoining rooms. “There’s a big trend toward multi-generational travel,” said Flight. “If you’re traveling with kids, the grandparents, with a nanny or with security, this is a nice concept.”

The Breakers is owned by the Kenan family, heirs of founder Henry Flagler. They budget $30 million a year for renovations at the hotel, said Tricia Taylor, executive vice president and general manager.

Crest Theatre – Delray Beach – Old School Square

Crest Theatre – Old School Square – Delray Beach

A historic South Florida theater that opened in the 1920s will renovate its interior to the tune of about $1 million. The first phase of the renovations will take about nine weeks and among the improvements will be increased space, seating and natural light, new carpet and fixtures, updated restrooms and more.

The Crest Theatre in Delray Beach — located in the heart of Old School Square — is a National Register of Historic Places site built in 1925 as a high school that now hosts art classes, exhibits, comedy and musical theater performances.

“The Cornell Art Museum [which sits next to the theater] just went through a $1 million renovation as well from the same donor and the same builders as well, so it will take that same look, refresh it and still pay homage to the history and the feel of the historic site,” said Holland Ryan, chief operating officer at Old School Square Center for the Arts. “Margaret Blume is our private donor; she’ll be doing the donation of $1 million.”

Ryan said the renovations will be completed in two phases, the first of which is expected to take about nine weeks.

“The first phase will…be completed by Nov. 1 of this year and will include various upgrades including automatic openers to our historic doors. Because we’re a national historic site, the doors are smaller and a little bit harder to get to and from for our art students and all our patrons, so we’ll be adding automatic openers to those,” he said.

The Crest Theatre in Delray Beach is undergoing the first phase of its $1 million renovation.
Other renovations include “updating the lobby, opening it up, putting in a new box office, creative art school, reception desk, doing upgrades to our first-floor restrooms, all the carpeting and some of our bar area to increase and improve traffic for patrons that are visiting us for events to really move bar lines along,” he said.

During the first phase, the Crest Theatre building will be closed, according to Ryan, but the box office and creative art school registration area will be available at the Cornell Museum and online.

“Some of the classes for the creative art school that start next semester are going to be relocated to the facilities on the south end of the building that are not a part of the phase-one renovation,” Ryan said.

The renovation will be done by Fort Lauderdale-based architecture company Walters Zackria Associates.

“We are a not-for-profit organization,” Ryan said. “We obtained the land in 1989 […] and we definitely appreciate and thank our generous donor, Margaret Blume, and the help of our architect and builder.”

Small Business Week – South Florida

by

Small Business Week

Small businesses are flourishing in South Florida, many of them got their start in the buildings of Yomtob Properties.  Ben Yomtob supports small business growth in the region and offers some of the most luxurious office space in the area.

CBS 12 recently aired a segment and Blog Post on Small Business Week; here it is rebroadcast.

Small business owners and entrepreneurs are being recognized this week for the big role they play in communities across the country, including here in South Florida and along the Treasure Coast.

It’s all part of National Small Business Week.

Anyone who owns a business or has attempted to start one knows how difficult and overwhelming it can be; for the owners of the Lighthouse Diner in Jupiter it all started when they inherited the restaurant after their father passed away.

Ryan Perez, one of the three brothers who now own the diner, told us he was just about to open a restaurant in New York when it happened. He made the trip to Jupiter under the assumption the brothers would just fix the diner up and lease it to other owners but soon his plans changed.

“I saw this place and within about a week to ten days, I fell completely in love with it,” he said. “I got my brother on the first plane and we started working.”

Fast forward seven years, they say the diner has become somewhat of a local landmark, one they hope continues to grow.

Perez says the diner, which has a great view of the Jupiter lighthouse, has been around for decades and that part of being a good business owner means staying consistent.

“We are family-owned, home-cooking, affordable for everybody. This has been here since the 1950’s and this has been a landmark here so the thing I was scared about was, I did not want to ruin this name here. I wanted to keep this name going.”

While it is their goal to stay true to what customers know and love, Perez says they’ve also been forced to change with the times. That means learning to take full advantage of social media from a business standpoint.

“I had to learn to do all of that,” he said. “We do all the Instagram, Facebook; we try to get on all the formats.”

Whatever your business may be, Perez said most importantly it’s about being present and having a strong team of support.

“Hands on; be here everyday. If you are an absentee owner, it is hard to get the place off the floor. You have to rely on yourself and your staff.”

Aside from the expected networking benefits that come with joining a local chamber of commerce, there are also free workshops and mentoring opportunities available.

For example, Joseph Catrambone, the CEO at the Stuart Martin County Chamber of Commerce told us they have volunteers who will sit down with aspiring entrepreneurs to offer free consulting and guidance when it comes to drafting a business plan as well as offer workshops on customer service and how to utilize technology.

At the Greater Delray Beach Chamber of Commerce, they offer the1909 Business Accelerator which is a startup boot camp that helps train you to start a business. The group meets one night per week for eight weeks. The program also includes personalized mentorships and concludes with “pitch night,” giving entrepreneurs a chance to pitch their business in front of local investors.

The City of Delray Beach’s Office of Economic Development has also declared May as “We Love Small Biz Month.”

There are a lot of free workshops throughout the month that you can take advantage of. Click here for the full list of events.
