The Scene Maker: Ben Berman

Who he is: The owner of Downtown at the Gardens’ A Latte Fun! indoor playground and cafe, Berman is a Boca Raton husband and father who enjoys music and sports (playing and spectating, in both cases). He’s also a member of the Berman family that owns and operates Downtown at the Gardens.

A few of his favorite things:

Favorite music store? “I play guitar and drums so I head to Guitar Center anytime I need anything.”

Guitar Center, 5025 Okeechobee Blvd., West Palm Beach, (561) 616-5601

Favorite sports bar? “Cabo Flats, hands down. The people are great, there’s always a vibrant crowd, and the prices are very reasonable.”

Cabo Flats, 11701 Lake Victoria Gardens, Palm Beach Gardens, (561) 624-0024

Favorite sporting goods store? Sports Authority. “They have all the equipment I ever use, and the location on Northlake Boulevard is just five minutes from my office.”

Sports Authority, 3350 Northlake Blvd., Palm Beach Gardens, (561) 622-7203

Favorite South County date night? “Going to the Cinemark Palace 20 movie theater, followed by a visit to the Barnes & Noble across the street at University Commons to peruse the books and get Starbucks.”

Cinemark Palace 20, 3200 Airport Road, Boca Raton, (561) 395-4695

Barnes & Noble, 1400 Glades Road, Boca Raton, (561) 750-2134

Favorite kosher restaurant? “I keep kosher so our dining options are limited, even in a large Jewish community like Boca Raton. Truthfully, the best date night place is our house! If we do go out, our favorite kosher restaurant is Asia, which serves Asian fusion cuisine.”

Asia, 7600 W. Camino Real, Boca Raton, (561) 544-8100
