A Pineapple Grove art-and-music evening
Start with something to talk about, share a relaxed dinner, then let live music finish the evening. This compact Delray route makes each stop feel like part of the same date.
Your time, together.
4 p.m. · 45–60 minutes
Choose each other’s favorite at Arts Warehouse
Browse the galleries at 313 NE 3rd Street. Each of you secretly chooses the work you think the other person will like, then compare your picks. Regular Friday and Saturday hours end at 5 p.m.; check special closures before leaving.

Settle in at Arts Garage
Choose a concert at 94 NE 2nd Avenue that you will both enjoy: jazz, soul, a tribute band or something new. Use the published performance time; Sunday concerts often begin earlier. Outside food is permitted, but all beverages must be bought at the venue.

The details that make it easy.
- Book first
- Book the show first, then dinner. A gallery visit does not reserve a workshop or event. Check Arts Warehouse notices; October 12–16 roof work may affect noise and parking.
- Budget for two
- Gallery admission is free. Add two current show tickets, dinner, drinks, tax, gratuity and parking; each stop is paid separately.
- Getting around
- Use a downtown public parking option and walk between the Pineapple Grove stops if comfortable. Leave time for meters and the evening crowds; check parking signs before leaving the car.
- Weather & comfort
- The main stops are indoors, with outdoor walks between them. Bring an umbrella for light rain; change the walking plan during lightning.
- If plans change
- If the gallery is closed, keep dinner and the show and arrive earlier for a longer meal. If tickets sell out, choose another published Arts Garage performance rather than assuming walk-up seats.
