Discover The Magic Of Boca Black Box: South Florida’s Most Unique Center For Arts By Austin Torres September 19, 2023 Share In the heart of Boca Raton, Florida lies an entertainment gem founded in August 2015. Presenting the Boca Black Box - a unique establishment brought to life by the visionaries Randy Singer, Larry Berfond, and Scott Levine. Positioned just a stone's throw away from Glades Road and the Turnpike, this theater is more than just a venue; it's a sensation. Inspired by the aura of classic New York-style settings, Boca Black Box immerses you in an atmosphere that’s both intimate and grand. With its 275 well-positioned seats, you're guaranteed an unobstructed view of the stage. Looking for that extra touch of luxury? Opt for one of our six VIP Tables, which can host up to eight guests, promising an elevated theater experience. Adjacent to this, discover Box 2.0 @ Boca Black Box. This little sister of the main theater, though smaller with its 72-seat capacity, guarantees an unforgettable experience. Its 'first come, first serve approach means every visit is a new adventure. “We’re unusual in the fact that we have five different shows a week, and additional shows in the theater next to us, Boca 2.0,” said Berfond. Indulge in meticulously crafted specialty cocktails, a wide selection of liquors, wines, and beers tailored to elevate your theater escapades. For the ones with an appetite beyond beverages, the vicinity boasts numerous restaurants offering gastronomic wonders perfect for a pre- or post-show treat. And what's a theater without snacks? Delight in any one of several thoughtfully curated theater bites, promising to make your stay even more memorable. As they embark on their ninth year, the calendar for Boca Black Box is more diverse than ever. According to Co-Founder Larry Berfond, Boca Black Box hosts five distinct shows a week, ranging from top Comedians to Chart-Topping Jazz Artists, Rock Legends, and Big Bands from Sirius Sinatra Radio, and more. From side-splitting Comedy Shows to High-Energy Rock Concerts and even the riveting excitement of micro wrestling – there’s always something brewing at Boca Black Box. Dive into nostalgia with their monthly Motown Night, featuring original artists and tributes, like the upcoming Marvin Gaye Night. Or swing to the rhythms of the Frank Sinatra Orchestra, reassembled exclusively for their esteemed audience. Through their relationship with Sirius Sinatra on Sirius Radio, Boca Black Box hosts a multitude of events for fans of Frank Sinatra. Among their major acts is Landau Eugene Murphy, a winner on America’s Got Talent. "We pride ourselves on authenticity. No tracks, only live orchestras and bands. We believe in keeping the essence of performance alive," said Berfond. Boca Black Box also has the ultimate Rod Stewart experience which includes Rod’s original drummer Carmine Appice, who co-wrote several of his hits including the 1978 classic, “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy?” Boca Black Box’s love for entertainment doesn’t end at their doorstep. “We’ve booked prestigious venues like the Aventura Cultural Center and The Coral Springs Center of the Arts. Plus, our theater in Port St. Lucie helps us bring this incredible talent to South Florida," said Berfond. With the adjacent Boca 2.0, dual experiences are on offer. Imagine enjoying a rock concert in one room and a stand-up comedy in the next. Such is the versatility of Boca Black Box. Tired of the discomfort of crowded clubs? The idea for Boca Black Box came about after the founding members were inspired to open a venue that would offer premium entertainment that wouldn’t be mired by the busy, uncomfortable, and fast-paced environment of typical Floridian clubs. “We presented a place where any night of the week you can find something fun to do,” said Berfond. “It’s nothing like a disco or a club, and you already have your seat so you don’t have to worry about rushing there.” And the cherry on top? Order your drinks via text without missing a beat of the performance. As you depart, embrace our gratitude with a free ticket to one of their shows, as a parting gift encouraging guests to return. “Our favorite part about this business is being out and about and hearing people share memories of their experiences at Boca Black Box,” said Berfond. So, if you haven’t experienced this jewel, it's high time you did. Dive into a world where top American talent meets intimacy, ensuring every seat gives you the best show in town. Come immerse yourself in the magic that is Boca Black Box. It’s not just a show; it's an experience. “If you haven’t been to Boca Black Box you owe it to yourself to come discover a place where you can go to see some of America’s top talent in an intimate setting, where every seat is a good seat,” said Berfond.

5 Bad Money Habits Hurting Your Financial Future By BPT October 18, 2023 Share There's a good chance you may have a habit or two when it comes to money that is not doing your financial future any favors. The good news is you're not alone, and there are ways to break those habits and create better financial health for you and/or your family. According to a recent survey from OnePoll and National Debt Relief, LLC, over 60% of people in the U.S. claim to make poor decisions when it comes to money and 42% of people admit to having current financial struggles. That may be in part because most people either have information that they aren't using in their day-to-day lives, or like over 20% of respondents, they need more information to help them learn better habits. Natalia Brown, Chief Client Operations Officer from National Debt Relief, has broken down the top 5 most common bad money habits and offered actionable tips on how to avoid these pitfalls. 1. Writing Off Small Purchases As Insignificant While spending money on things like takeout or app subscriptions may seem minor, these purchases add up over time. Your coffee may only cost $4.99, but as a daily habit, it can become costly. If you add up these seemingly insignificant costs over a month or two you'll get a clear picture of how much you're spending. Additionally, while BOGO promotions may be appealing, if you don't need the second item, don't spend the extra money. 2. Gambling While you may not be a high-stakes poker player or spend hours at casinos, a regular lottery ticket habit can mean you're throwing away your hard-earned money. Instead, try saving any money you might put into gambling and investing it into a higher interest savings account, which will add up quicker than you expect, especially if you keep adding to it. 3. Using Credit Cards To Pay Bills Paying bills with a credit card can work well if you're paying your balance off in full each month. But, if you're not paying your balance off in full each month, you may want to reconsider. The interest you'll end up paying on the card will make your bills much more expensive. For example, if your credit card interest rate is around 20% and you have a $5,000 balance, it could take you around 11 years to pay this off with minimum payments. Plus, your total payments will end up being around $8,417. To avoid getting into this situation, try listing out your regular expenses, categorizing which ones are absolute necessities (like rent, utilities and food) and which are not (like entertainment and eating out). Then total your must-pay bills and compare that amount to what you're earning and cut anything that's not a necessity that you've been relying on credit cards to keep up with. 4. Taking Out Payday Loans Beware of payday loans. These short-term loans often have high interest rates and may cost you a lot of money. Other options you can consider before taking out a payday loan may be finding ways to earn extra income like driving for a ride sharing company or getting some part-time work, or saving money through strict budgeting and getting rid of those non-essentials (see above for more on that). 5. Spending More Than You Earn Start by listing out all your expenses and your income. This can help you get a better picture of where, and how much, you need to cut down. Minimize unnecessary expenses and look for creative ways to boost your income. People are always looking for help with tasks like cleaning, organizing or creative work. If you have any special talents, see if you can monetize any of them. "Managing money can be tough, and we all make mistakes," said Brown. "There's a lot of guilt and shame associated with being in debt or having money struggles. It's important to know that you're not alone and there are steps you can take to create a better financial future for yourself or your family. At National Debt Relief, we understand the importance of not just helping people with their immediate debt situations, but also giving them the tools, skills and guidance they need to feel more confident and in control of their finances." Need to break bad financial habits? National Debt Relief can help you resolve your debt more quickly and for less money than you owe. Their team will also help you learn skills like budgeting, how to save money, and how to live within your means so you can improve your financial health and feel confident about your future.
