On Friday, the nonprofit organization, launched by innovative schoolhouse and community fulcrum Space of Mind, will kick off a monthly series called Delray Nights Throwback to celebrate the old-school downtown vibe and the tribe that made it distinctive. 

The inaugural gathering will honor John Paul Kline, the revered chef who opened 3rd and 3rd, the music-friendly restaurant and bar in downtown Delray Beach, in 2013. Kline died three years later.   

Taking place at The Hub at Space of Mind (101 NW First Ave.) from 8 p.m. to midnight, the inaugural Delray Nights Throwback will include sets from local favorites Spred the Dub, along with light bites from chef Jessie Steele, a donation bar and an atmosphere that aims to recreate the spirit of Delray’s old-school music venues. Tickets cost $50. (Teacher tickets are 50% off to celebrate the back-to-school season.) Visit FindSpaceOfMind.com.

Ali Kaufman, founding director of the Community Classroom Project and its culinary program, the Community Classroom Kitchen, had a relationship with Kline that predates 3rd and 3rd. Friday’s event will raise money in his honor. 

“I’m looking forward to celebrating with JP’s longtime friends and all the lovers of the OG Delray local scene this Friday. We’ll be raising the vibe, raising some picklebacks and raising some funds to launch the John Paul Kline Culinary Arts Scholarship,” Kaufman says. “We will continue to carry on his dream of celebrating food, art and people, always all at once.”

The Cove Brewery went another way when it opened a year ago, the first brewery in Deerfield Beach.

Located just across the Intracoastal Waterway from the Deerfield Beach International Fishing Pier, a hub for the local surf-culture community for years, The Cove is bright and airy, with blond woods, surfing iconography and a relaxing palette that draws from the sea, sand and sky.

Likewise, the beers made at The Cove tend to be light and bright with tropical impulses. A new one is called Toes in Sand, an IPA that dances with blood orange, tangerine and gooseberries.

The brewery’s owners, siblings Kristy Hartofilis and Jay Whelchel, say it was just natural to lean into the family-oriented “old coastal Florida” vibe they grew up with. 

“Deerfield Beach is such a coastal lifestyle. There’s so many fishermen, surfers, volleyball players, paddle boarders, you name it,” says Whelchel, raised with his sister in neighboring Boca Raton. “We grew up going to the Deerfield Beach pier and Island Water Sports, which has anchored that beach for a long time. We went to camps when we were kids, hung out there.”

On Saturday, The Cove Brewery, located in the city’s iconic Cove Shopping Center, will celebrate its first anniversary with Covechella, a free block party that will take place from 1 to 10 p.m. The festival will include six new beer releases, more than a dozen vendors and food from neighbors including Won-Tom’s, Tipperary Pub, Casa Maya Grill, Papa’s Raw Bar, The Modern Rose, Patrizia’s of N.Y.C. and Whit’s Frozen Custard.

There also will be live music from Tasty Vibrations (1 p.m.), Over on Two (4 p.m.) and Bryant Del Toro (7 p.m.), plus a DJ, adult games such as beer pong and cornhole, and a dedicated area for kids’ activities. 

“The idea of Covechella was to celebrate the community, being part of the fabric of the community,” says Hartofilis, pointing out that the day also will support local nonprofit Captains for Clean Water. 

Hartofilis and Whelchel came to the brewery business with real-estate backgrounds and an appreciation for beer culture informed by family travels from North Carolina to Colorado. 

“Some of the best family-oriented spots were breweries,” Whelchel says. “People want to go to breweries. They are very interesting, novel places to experience.”

Being the first brewery in a city, especially one with no true downtown, required a new template. Whelchel points out that the brewery sits on the edge of the massive Cove neighborhood, which like a lot of eastside neighborhoods built 50 or 60 years ago has no gates, clubhouse or tennis courts. 

The Cove Brewery serves as a kind of neighborhood clubhouse, drawing walkers, bikers and golf-carters from around the area, he says. 

“I’m very proud of what we’ve accomplished. It’s a lot harder than it looks, let’s put it that way,” Whelchel says. “We’re getting a lot of good feedback from the locals. They say all the time, we didn’t even realize this was something we needed.”

Purple pros: One could argue (I will) that South Beach did not become a thing on the pop culture map until Prince opened his East Coast version of nightclub Glam Slam at 1235 Washington Ave. 30 years ago. The space, later known as Mansion, now M2 Miami, will host a party for the pop icon on Friday, when he would have turned 66 (regally).

Sponge worthy: Slow Burn Theater Co. on Saturday opens its two-week run of “The SpongeBob Musical” at the Broward Center in Fort Lauderdale, a Tony-nominated show based on the wacky and beloved Nickelodeon cartoon that premiered in 1999, with music from David Bowie, Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler and Joe Perry, Sara Bareilles, The Flaming Lips, Cyndi Lauper, John Legend, Panic! at the Disco and others. Tickets start at $54 at BrowardCenter.org. My favorite review of the show, published last fall at ChicagoOnStage.com, began: “I have never watched a single episode of ‘SpongeBob Squarepants.’ As I entered the Chopin Theatre to see the opening night of Kokandy’s ‘The SpongeBob Musical,’ pretty much all I knew was the fact that the title character lives in a pineapple under the sea — I have no clue how I even knew that much.” One paragraph later, the reviewer pronounced it “one of the most purely entertaining shows of the year.”

When it comes to watch-party plans for the series, the best-kept secret around is the Barrel Room around back of Funky Buddha Brewery in Oakland Park, which is a little tricky to locate if you don’t know where you’re going. The brewery has posted a map on Facebook to guide you. The Federal (Instagram.com/the_federal_ftl), the Panthers’ restaurant on the second floor of their new  Baptist Health IcePlex practice facility, has been packed with enthusiastic crowds for big-screen viewing.

Going forward the feature will include a single image, but the introduction has three ways to win, with photos taken at restaurants in Palm Beach, Broward and Miami-Dade counties. 

To enter, submit your guesses at SunSentinel.com/iSpy. You’ll notice the form includes the option of subscribing to The Weekender newsletter, which arrives in your inbox on Thursdays.

It’s perfect, and just one reason to find Balloo’s hidden-in-plain-sight gem. You’ll find the All Day Burger on the menu between the Thai Red Curry Branzino and the Roasted Marrow Bones. Visit TheKatherineRestaurant.com.
