Posted on April 6th, 2018

***** Two Tomatoes, 12040 South Jog Road, Boynton Beach, Florida 33437, (561) 369-0656.

Got a real good pizza joint for you guys to check-out, Two Tomatoes in Boynton Beach.

Real simple concept at work here, appetizers/pizza/subs/pastas/entrees, order/pickup at counter, give or take a half dozen tables, open Monday-Saturday 11am-8pm/ Sunday 4pm-8pm.

Yesterday, Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats gave Two Tomatoes a shot and I gotta tell you guys that the ordered -10” meatball parmigiana sub ($8.25), 2 pizza slices with fountain drink “special” ($5.99) and large antipasto salad ($9.95) were all right on the money delicious! Now I’m not gonna name names, but Two Tomatoes’ food was as good if not better than most of the “mom & pop” Italian and sub joints that we frequent by our house in Boca Raton!

Let me wrap Two Tomatoes up for you guys by saying- this joint is a winner and that if you live, work, visit or play in its neighborhood- give it a try!

Tickets: $45-$65 pompanobeacharts.org

From pompanobeacharts.org:

“We are saying what HE said,” laughs Matt Vee referring to the one and only Neil Diamond. Matt along with cousins Jeff and Tommy Vee, local music scene veterans and sons of the legendary Bobby Vee, join forces with their family and friends as The Killer Vees to celebrate the music from a timeless catalog. With songs like “Cracklin’ Rosie,” “Song Sung Blue,” and “Sweet Caroline,” Neil Diamond sold over 100 million records worldwide with music that became the soundtrack to one generation after another with hits spanning five decades. As a Tin Pan Alley songwriter in the mid-60s, he penned songs recorded by everyone from Elvis Presley to Deep Purple and, of course, the Monkee’s classic, “I’m A Believer.”

“This is not a tribute show,” says Tommy Vee. “This is a celebration of an amazing musical icon, one we all love and respect. We have been fans since we were in grade school and first learning our respective instruments and played many of these tunes over the years in various bands. We have recruited an incredible group of singers and players and have gone back to the original records,” he explains, “it is all about the vocals and Matt nails it. It’s a Rockin’ show!”

Joining The Killer Vees will be Matt’s wife Julie Velline on vocals, veteran Minnesota musicians Mark Levandowski, Kurt Rodman, Boyd Lee, Dennis Kennedy, and Dr. Frank Plachecki, as well as a very special surprise for the finale.

Members Of The Killer Vees have recorded or performed with: Bobby Vee, Sir Paul McCartney, Sir Tim Rice, Ronnie Wood, Mick Taylor, The Brian Setzer Orchestra, Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis, Fabian, The Shirelles, The Chiffons, Brian Hyland, Johnny Tillotson, Nelson, Peter Noone, Bill Medley, The Johnny Holm Band, GB Leighton, and MANY others.

Just between you guys and me, I kinda think that I know my “mom & pop” Italian joints- and I’m telling you guys that Avellino’s in Delray Beach is a winner!

Real simple tale to tell…last night Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats “discovered” Avellino’s and its food absolutely killed! Table/booth seating, reasonably priced appetizers/ salads/ hot & cold subs-panini/ salads/ pastas/ brick oven pizzas/ entrees/ other stuff dinner menu, lunch menu, twilight menu, super pleasant service…and yes- the joint’s dinner entrees come with soup or salad/ pasta side/ garlic rolls.

Let me wrap-up Avellino’s Italian Restaurant by telling you guys- that its brick-oven pizza alone was worth the price of admission. Other than for dough, cheese and tomato sauce I-got no idea as to what else (if anything) went into the the final product- All I can say – off the chart delicious!

David Johansen, punk icon and Buster Poindexter alter ego, dies at 75

Posted on March 3rd, 2025 · Music/Events/Other · 3 Comments »

* David Johansen, punk icon and Buster Poindexter alter ego, dies at 75


March 1, 2025 / 1:58 PM EST / AP
David Johansen, the wiry, gravelly-voiced singer and last surviving member of the glam and protopunk band the New York Dolls who later performed as his campy, pompadoured alter ego, Buster Poindexter, has died. He was 75.

Johansen died Friday at his home in New York City, Jeff Kilgour, a family spokesperson told The Associated Press. It was revealed in early 2025 that he had stage 4 cancer and a brain tumor.

The New York Dolls were forerunners of punk and the band’s style – teased hair, women’s clothes and lots of makeup – inspired the glam movement that took up residence in heavy metal a decade later in bands like Faster Pussycat and Mötley Crüe.

“When you’re an artist, the main thing you want to do is inspire people, so if you succeed in doing that, it’s pretty gratifying,” Johansen told The Knoxville News-Sentinel in 2011.

Rolling Stone once called the Dolls “the mutant children of the hydrogen age” and Vogue called them the “darlings of downtown style, tarted-up toughs in boas and heels.”
