* The Stranger- A Tribute To Billy Joel.

One of the world’s best Billy Joel tribute bands…

Trust Jeff Eats on this one, these guys will absolutely blow you away!

With over 150 million records sold worldwide in a career spanning nearly 50 years, singer, songwriter, composer & performer BILLY JOEL is one of the world’s most beloved musical artists of the past 100 years. So naturally, paying tribute to that level of talent and doing it justice is something not easily achieved…

THE STRANGER is the complete premiere tribute to the music of one of the world’s most beloved performers, Billy Joel. Comprised of some of the best and most experienced musicians in the business, this 6 piece band brings together an authentic replication of Billy’s timeless music, crowning it with soulful, spot on vocals that makes listening to a Billy Joel song so special.

Out front on piano & lead vocals is founder & frontman Mike Santoro. Born and raised in Levittown like Joel himself, Mike not only looks and talks a lot like Billy, but has the piano chops, vocal prowess and stage presence of the Piano Man – so much so that you will soon forget you are watching a tribute show. The STRANGER gives you the Billy Joel experience with the sound of his original band in its prime… energetic, interactive and often unpredictable. Its live entertainment at its best!
From his radio hits to classic b-sides, sprinkled with great songs from similar artists such as Elton John, Paul McCartney and many others, it’s everything you’ll ever want in an evening out of great music.

***** Howley’s Restaurant, 4700 South Dixie Highway, West Palm Beach, Florida 33405, (561) 833-5691.

Got something really terrific for you guys…Howley’s …for our purposes let’s call Howley’s a diner.

You know what “out of sight, out of mind” means? Sure you do…Well! Howley’s fits the bill…great- diner in West Palm Beach, which Boca Raton resident-Jeff Eats keeps forgetting about…just that simple…”out of sight, out of mind.”

Long story short…

Last night after dropping Son Jeff Eats off at Palm Beach International Airport- the combination of 2 wrong left turns followed by 3 wrong right turns and a fight with Mrs. Jeff Eats over my not being able to follow her instructions-we ended up right in front of Howley’s Restaurant. The joint looked exactly the same as when I first told you guys about it way back on June 17, 2008…making lemonade out of lemons-the crab-cakes that Mrs. Jeff Eats had and my bacon cheeseburger & French fries were delicious.

If you haven’t “yet” been to Howley’s…it’s an absolute must try…

Howley’s is open Sunday-Thursday 7am-2am, Friday-Saturday 8am-5am.

By the way, that June 17, 2008 write-up printed is down below.

June 17th, 2008 · American Breakfast West Palm Beach
***** Howley’s Restaurant, 4700 South Dixie Highway, West Palm Beach, Florida 33405, (561) 833-5691.

One of my favorite South Florida joints to eat breakfast, lunch and dinner at is Howley’s Restaurant which is on Dixie Highway in West Palm Beach.

This joint has been around since 1950…and is basically an old fashioned diner. Other than a flat screen tv here and there, you’ll swear that you are in a diner circa 1950. This joint doesn’t play the Johnny Rocket’s game. The decor is the real McCoy.

Howley’s does “everything.” Breakfast-lunch-dinner…In addition to a counter, there is booth and table seating. There is also an outdoor dining patio.

Just so you know, the guy who owns the famous Dada Restaurant located in Delray Beach bought Howley’s about 3 years ago…soooo the food is absolutely top-notch. This joint makes crab-cakes, the likes of which you have never tasted before.

Over the past few years, I probably have eaten in this joint 20 times. I absolutely love the atmosphere, the food and the hip-youngsters that comprise the wait-staff (no they don’t wear 1950’s costumes).

Howley’s prices are “all over the place.” There are all kinds of bargain specials, but some of the dishes are pretty pricey. Like I said before, this is a diner whose short-order-cooks were replaced by top-notch chefs.

This is a great place. If you look closely, you will see that Howley’s is right next door to a NO TELL MOTEL circa 1950. I sure wish Howley’s walls could talk.

Howley’s is open 7 days a week for breakfast, lunch and dinner. As for the crowd…tee shirts/shorts…tuxedos…suits…bikers…you name it.

Great place. Don’t miss it.

***** Little Italian Pizza, 448 South Cypress Road, Pompano Beach, Florida 33060, (954) 941-0550.

Got a real good “mom & pop” red sauce Italian joint for you guys to check-out, Little Italian Pizza in Pompano Beach.

Real simple tale to tell- handful of tables, full boat menu of reasonably priced off the chart delicious pizzas/ pastas/ hot & cold subs/ salads/ entrees/ other stuff, open Monday-Saturday 11am-10pm/Sunday 4pm-10pm.

Last night Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats “discovered” Little Italian Pizza and I gotta tell you guys- the joint’s food absolutely killed!

Let me wrap this tale up by saying- that I know my “mom & pop” red sauce Italian joints and I’m telling you guys that Little Italian Pizza is an absolute must try! And- if you can keep a secret, the joint’s New York Style Pizza with its thin crisp crust, sweet sauce and nice oil drip- alone is worth the price of admission!

You guys can catch menu/prices/info at littleitalianpizza.net.

Hey Jeff,
Long time reader, poster and multi time contest winner.
First of all, love your blog site.
Next up, my HOA is throwing a huge (150 people) clubhouse party in late March, 2019 with a Rolling Stones’ theme.
Can you give me the name of a terrific reasonably priced South Florida- Rolling Stones’ tribute band that would be really good for a 3 hour event?
As you know from my contest win e-mails, I live in Boca Raton.
Once again, love the blog site.
Thanks,
Joe Kennedy
