ucked between the ocean and the Intracoastal, with parks and fine shops and living walls and hidden vias, it’s easy to see that Worth Avenue is more than a shopping enclave; it’s an experience.

Our traditions date back 100 years; some of our buildings were designed by renowned society architect Addison Mizner. We can tell you stories about film stars and royalty and rock stars and renegades, but the real story of Worth Avenue begins with its character, its enduring emphasis on community. For years now, Worth Avenue has been giving back to organizations that make life better in South Florida. We clean up area beaches on “Turtle Tuesdays,” and we have named the Els for Autism Foundation our charity of choice this year, for its work with those on the autism spectrum. Our community service is a core value and gives this special Avenue its heart and sense of purpose.

Worth Avenue is defined by these values, as well as by its long-term relationships, its friendly service and its relaxed state of mind. We are the hometown shopping street, with people who know their customers by name—the new hallmark of luxury. We know Worth Avenue is about more than shopping; it is an experience of community, one we have cultivated over generations.

Those are the qualities that have lasted more than 100 years and continue to illuminate Worth Avenue. It’s why we all love to work here and why people come back, again and again. Please allow me to welcome you to Worth Avenue on behalf of all of its merchants—we are glad you are here, and we hope to see you again soon.

Got Paddle?

Stand-up paddleboarding on the often-calm waters of the Atlantic Ocean and Intracoastal Waterway is a great way to explore, relieve stress, build balance and strengthen your core.

Kyle Igneri, founder of Paddleboarding Palm Beach, says Palm Beachers and visitors to the Island can rent paddleboards, take lessons and dive into a new wave of paddleboard fitness classes, including Paddle Yoga and Paddle Fit. Paddleboarders venture out to local paddle destinations—including Fisherman Island in the waterway near Southern Boulevard—to do yoga classes on their boards, with the tranquil backdrop of a South Florida sunset. Or, for those who like a more intense exercise experience, there’s Paddle Fit. It’s similar to CrossFit, but on

the water and balancing on a paddleboard.

“Any kind of exercises you can do on the ground, without weights, you can do on the paddleboard,” Igneri says.

DeStinatiOn: Peanut island

Nearby Peanut Island is the most popular paddleboard destination, according to Igneri.

And you can make a day of it by paddling out to Peanut Island, parking the board and having a picnic—as well as exploring the island’s history by visiting the Palm Beach Maritime Museum and John F. Kennedy Bunker.

Paddleboard classes start at $20, which includes board rental. Private lessons are $60 per person.

Working It Out Serenity thriveS

Four Seasons Resort Palm Beach, at 2800 S. Ocean Blvd., is among the local resorts that offer beachfront yoga to hotel guests and others who use the resort’s spa services.

“Om,” Palm Beach Style

Parasutra, a local yoga and wellness studio, takes the good life to new levels. Connie Beaudoin, the studio’s owner and master teacher, blends yoga with meditation to create not just a form of exercise but also quality of life.

The studio, at 234 S. County Road, offers classes and private lessons, juicing and holistic nutritional counseling. All juices are pressed fresh on the premises, says Parasutra’s operations manager, Ellen Block.

Among the local favorites: a citrusy juice, called Sunshine, which

combines grapefruit, orange, coconut water, lemon, lime, ginger, cayenne, tumeric and a little raw honey.

Customized juice cleanses by Parasutra’s staff holistic nutritionist have become a popular stepping stone for local clients who want to make healthy eating a lifestyle choice, Block says. For more information, call 561/835-2006 or visit parasutra.com.

Quinn says a local favorite route for biking, walking or running is The Lake Trail, a 10-mile path featuring the backdrop of Palm Beach’s scenic Intracoastal, lined with mansions and yachts. Quinn recommends visitors loop back on the ocean side, where they can see such historic sites as the former Kennedy compound and the Estée Lauder mansion.

Palm Beach Bicycle Trail Shop, a staple on the Island for 38 years, specializes in island exploration via bikes, rollerblades and much more. Mark Quinn, owner of the shop, at 223 Sunrise Ave., maps out a route and finds the right transportation for each client. Some might prefer a three-wheeler or tandem bike, while the more enthusiastic of cyclists might opt for a high-end racing bike for zipping up and down the coastline. Among the other options is the Elliptigo (a cross between a bike, a scooter and an elliptical machine), which is a great way to travel and work out at the same time. All are available for rent or purchase, complete with bike helmets and locks.

Flexing their Apps The Spanish tradition of tapas has landed in Palm Beach, with island chefs adding their own creative twists to the trend.

W

hether you call them small plates, shared plates, tapas or appetizers, the Spanish tradition is alive and well in Palm Beach, with area chefs cooking up creative, modern dishes that have patrons mixing, matching and asking for more—and being more social in the process. The theory is that, instead of each diner focusing on his or her own single dish throughout a meal, small plates provide a no-commitment way for guests to try a variety of flavors while interacting with fellow diners.

According to The Joy of Cooking, the word “tapas” derives from the Spanish word meaning “to cover,” and some claim that the original tapas were pieces of bread or meat used by Andalusian tavern-goers to cover and protect their glasses of sherry from flies between sips.

Sure enough, as diners nibbled these “tapas,” it

48

WWW.WORTH-AVENUE.COM

became an integral part of the culture.

“Small plates are great for encouraging sharing at the table, helping to create engaging conversation at the start of the meal,” says Café Boulud executive chef Rick Mace. “The small plates at Café Boulud reflect Mediterranean flavors that are light and very fresh—perfect for Palm Beach.”

Popular options include chickpea fries with piquillo pepper ketchup, herbed falafel with eggplant baba ghanoush, and spiced boneless lamb ribs with honey glaze and minted yogurt.

At Jové Kitchen & Bar, the new restaurant at the Four Seasons Palm Beach, dishes are designed for guests to enjoy on their own or to share with family and friends. A focus on fresh seafood is evident in such artful presentations as the rigatoni carbonara with guanciale, cured egg and white sturgeon caviar, and the pumpkin

swordfish, served with peperonata, pine nuts and cauliflower puree.

“The simplification of cultures through technology, and the exposure to vast amounts of real-time information, have resulted in the most exciting time in food history,” says Thomas Ryan, executive chef at Eau Palm Beach Resort & Spa. “Small bites—from many sources with limitless ingredients—have taken over mainstream dining.”

His contributions to the trend are inventive, beautifully plated dishes with careful attention to detail. The seared Japanese hamachi finds an unlikely pairing in Iberico ham, served with smoked cantaloupe, raw soy sauce and yuzu marmalade, a dish bursting with umami. That savory smoked melon also stars in another dish in compressed form, alongside balsamic “caviar” and Champagne “pudding.”

At Renato’s, the Primi Piatti offer such a diverse array of tempting starters that one could easily make a meal out of them. We’re partial to the decadent foie gras in padella, featuring pan-

seared foie gras, caramelized figs and cranberries and a divine blackberry brandy sauce. For something a bit lighter, try the granchio soffice fritto: crispy soft shell crab with red onion, tomato, avocado salsa and mustard aioli.

HMF at The Breakers offers savory sharing plates inspired by global cuisines, the food truck movement and seasonal ingredients, including organic and locally sourced products.

“The idea of creating a menu around small plates was inspired by the desire to create a social and interactive environment,” says Nick Velardo, director of the restaurants’ food and beverage. “We wanted eating to be fun and experiential, so having a modern menu of small plates designed for combining, sharing and experimentation was the perfect antidote to facilitate engagement among guests while allowing them to experience the various elements of a menu in one seating.”

Warm onion and Reggiano dip is a gourmet take on this classic snack dip, wild boar “empanaditas” offer a spicy kick, and wild salmon

yakitori is cooked over the Japanese robata grill for smoky flavor.

Try one or try them all—the fun is in the variety, Velardo says: “Small plates free us from getting locked into a cuisine.”

Beach itself. At The Chesterfield’s Leopard Lounge, a beloved island institution and popular spot for live entertainment, the distinctive aesthetic—black-lacquered walls, leopard-skinpatterned carpet, hand-painted ceiling—has informed the signature Leopard Martini. A blend of Absolut vodka and Disaronno is topped with a splash of black sambuca, which settles to the bottom of the glass and makes the drink look “spotted.”

Over at The Breakers, HMF restaurant and lounge pays homage to the halcyon days of Palm Beach, named for hotel founder and Standard Oil magnate Henry Morrison Flagler.

“HMF at The Breakers is inspired by the Palm Beach cocktail party, a modern ode to the cocktail culture of the ’50s and ’60s and Palm Beach’s golden era of high style and glamour,” says Nick Velardo, The Breakers’ director of food and beverage at its restaurants.

That translates to classic cocktails with a twist, comprising homemade ingredients, mixers and sodas. A particular favorite is the Railcar 91 (a spin on the classic sidecar), which is a nod to Flagler’s private railcar, No. 91, and his creation of the Florida East Coast Railway.

It features Courvoisier VSOP, fresh lemon juice, local honey and an ethereal topping of orange foam.

The Brazilian Court’s Café Boulud takes cues from both its Palm Beach address and Florida’s tropical produce, according to sommelier Mariya Kovacheva. The Palm Beach Sling, a riff on the turn-of thecentury Singapore Sling, com-

hile cocktail trends—and drinkers’ tastes—change as often as the seasons, the Sunshine State itself remains an inspiration for bartenders and mixologists on the island.

Given Florida’s diverse culture, native beauty and zany history, is it any wonder? And let us not forget that the world-famous Bloody Mary was supposedly invented by a Ta-Boo bartender at the request of a hungover Barbara Hutton—much to the delight of Sunday brunchers to this day.

Some area venues are shaking up concoctions inspired by the history and color of Palm

bines Smooth Ambler gin, Florida lemon and grapefruit, and hibiscus syrup. For the rum fans among you, the Swanky Kumquat features Real McCoy silver rum, fresh kumquats and syrup made from micro shiso from Swank Specialty Produce, a farm in Loxahatchee, west of Palm Beach.

Our state’s signature citrus is also the star in The Killer Bee, a new cocktail at Eau Palm Beach, comprising Honey Jack Daniels whiskey, homemade sour mix and orange blossom water, sprinkled with fresh Florida orange zest.

It’s a sweet-and-sour flavor profile that sure goes down smooth. We’ll drink to that!

We asked a few Worth Avenue fashion experts to weigh in on the seven must-have wardrobe staples for men who want to achieve that classic Palm Beach look.

Blazer from Maus & Hoffman

navy blazer

It’s timeless and quintessential. A man can dress down and wear his navy blazer with shorts in the daytime or with trousers and a tie to dinner, says Worth Avenue Association president Gregg Beletsky.

A tuxedo (or two) There’s no shortage of black-tie events during the season in Palm Beach, so it’s best to have at least one tuxedo in your closet.

You can’t go wrong with the black tux, featuring a peaked or notched lapel.

Still, some men favor a timeless style, such as a shawl, or rounded lapel. Beletsky says details that shouldn’t be overlooked include a spreadcollar pleated white cotton shirt, black tie, cufflinks and stud set and a beautifully folded linen pocket square.

For tux number two, you might forgo safety and reach for something jazzier, according to John Maus, owner of Maus & Hoffman.

Consider a tux with designs, like paisleys, or with toneon-tone stripes on the tuxedo jacket, Maus says.

White or bone trouser The trends for white or bone trousers are a flat front and medium fit, according to Maus.

“The navy blazer and white or bone trouser is our uniform,” Maus says.

Fashionable swim trunk

Trousers and loafers from Maus & Hoffman

Speedos need not apply. Popular and classic Palm Beach swim trunks are more along the lines of shorts. In fact, trunks can double as shorts, Beletsky says. Patterns and colors are all the Palm Beach rage.

“It’s Palm Beach. It’s all about color.

It’s all about patterns—particularly in swim trunks. I would say have fun with it,” Beletsky says.

Loafers

A good leather makes for a comfortable loafer. Never, ever wear these shoes with socks, local fashion experts confirm. Men can go with a color, but, if in doubt, pick a safe, neutral tone—a tobacco or cognac, perhaps.

Sunglasses, swim trunks and linen shirt from Island Company

White linen shirt

Sunglasses

You’re in South Florida. You’ll need a pair of polarized, anti-glare sunglasses. The look in Palm Beach is the classic Ray-Ban Aviator. Having this accessory says you’ve got it together, Beletsky says.

Men can wear these almost anywhere and look chic. The classic collared linen shirt is perfect under a navy blazer, with a pair of shorts or with a drawstring trouser. This versatile closet must-have might even serve as a beach cover-up. Fashion gurus say the white linen shirt can be worn inside or outside pants, with sleeves rolled up (for casual attire) or down and buttoned. Men who wear white linen shirts during the day need not iron them, Beletsky says.

“If you’re just wearing it with board shorts and flips, obviously the wrinkled look is more than appropriate here on the Island,” he says.

Secret Gardens Discover the romance of Worth Avenue’s many vias.

By michelle fer r a n d

P

art of the charm of strolling Worth Avenue is to take a detour now and then into the small courtyards—or vias—that lend it a European intrigue. The vias are just one element in Addison Mizner’s vision for Worth Avenue, which architects today cite as an early example of today’s “new urbanism”—a mixed-use development concept combining business, residential and commercial enterprises designed for pedestrians and built to a human scale. The vias act as ornamental interruptions to symmetry— places to pause, meander, explore. A via might have Italian sculpture, chandeliers, fountains, climbing bougainvillea or wrought-iron gates.

There are tiled staircases and façades, dormer windows and alcoves, and a sense of privacy as well as drama. You may discover one-of-a-

kind shops and galleries, as well as sculpture, tropical foliage, even a tucked-away restaurant or two. Here’s our thumbnail guide:

home to Mizner’s pet monkey, Johnnie Brown, and Laddie, a dog that belonged to later Mizner apartment owner, Rose Sachs.

Via mizner Find it between: Select Fine Art and Style Paris, the 300 block Vibe/feels like: A sunny patio in a sleepy Mediterranean beach town Don’t miss: The high point of Via Mizner (aside from what was once Addison Mizner’s lavish private apartment overhead) is the charming restaurant and courtyard that is Renato’s, a longtime fine-dining establishment famous for its tinkling piano music and starry nights in the winter, when French doors are flung open, Champagne is popped and patrons feel as if they are in Italy. Don’t forget to look for the cemetery—the only one on the island—

Via Parigi Find it between: Brown Harris Stevens and Il Papiro, 300 block Vibe/feels like: A village courtyard in Southern France Don’t miss: Visit Via Parigi simply because it’s one of the original vias, along with Via Mizner, with a charming intimacy. Mizner named the via for his good friend and financial backer Paris Singer in response to Singer’s less than enthusiastic viewing of Via Mizner (“How could you build a monument to yourself and not one for me?!”). A lush tropical garden with trees festooned with gold twinkling lights— Worth Avenue fireflies—illuminate the small WORTH AVENUE

shops and residential apartments overlooking a fountain, surrounded by towering palms.

There are statues of the four seasons topped by a whimsical turret flanking the entryway to a private residence. This is also home to Stubbs & Wootton, one the Palm Beach’s trademark shoe salons, famous for its embroidered slippers.

Via Roma Find it between: H.T. Stuart Jewelers and Mariko, 300 block Vibe/feels like: Gothic atrium Don’t miss: Via Roma opens with a dimly lit narrow walkway with ivy baskets and glass chandeliers hanging from the glass ceiling.

The dark walkway ends abruptly with an old antique store and a small corridor with mysterious wrought-iron gates. Mariko, at the start of the via, is one of the Avenue’s unique jewelry stores—loaded with what we used to call costume jewelry but what we now call pretty irresistible.

Via DemaRio Find it between: Courage B and East Coast Jewelers, 300 block Vibe/feels like: A tiny Mediterranean seaside courtyard Don’t miss: Grab a simple lunch and a cup of

coffee from Café Delamar in between your shopping extravaganza. The small and colorful café is open for breakfast and lunch, and offers a variety of cold and hot sandwiches as well as salads like the classic Caesar Salad or its own trademark Delamar Salad (a little grilled chicken, a little artichoke, roasted corn and a bed of designer greens). Unless it’s raining, sit outside to bask in the warm summer sun and enjoy the ocean’s breeze—the beach is a 10-minute walk from the café.

Via Bice Find it between: Peter Millar and Trillion, 300 block Vibe/feels like: The patio of a Tuscan estate Don’t miss: Via Bice opens up with a giant blue and white arched walkway that immediately leads you to a replica of Venus de Milo (the original is at The Louvre). But perhaps the real artistry here can be found at Bice, a landmark restaurant on Worth Avenue with a handsome convivial bar, an expansive patio, a reputation for glamorous European people and delectable Milanese cuisine.

Via encantaDa Find it between: Maje and Sandro, 200 block Vibe/feels like: Tropical courtyard

Don’t miss: This via features tropical chandeliers and luxurious gardens. Shops offer everything from tropical clothing, contemporary art and jewelry to luxury real estate.

Via amoRe Find it between: St. John Boutique and Island Company, 200 block Vibe/feels like: A warm Tuscan vineyard Don’t miss: There’s a lot to see in this Tuscanstyle via, which has absorbed what were once Via Gucci, Via De Lela and Via Flora. Exposed hanging chandeliers, and flowers and trees with twinkly lights accentuate its rustic feel, serving as a backdrop for its sculptures, including a giant tulip, and a main courtyard with an angel and three pipers in the fountain.

There is a wishing well amid the meandering nooks and crannies populated by sculptures by the late Prince Monyo of Romania. Look for three pigs, two leaping dolphins and several angels flitting about the arches and pergolas—as well as stately wrought-iron gates, balconies, staircases and torcheres.

We love the takeout from the nearby Café via Flora, and don’t-miss stores including Bibi’s Boutique, the smallest shop in town, and the elegant Kassatly’s linens, the oldest store on Worth Avenue.

Via maRio Find it between: Maus and Hoffman and Ralph Lauren, 300 block Vibe/feels like: A private conservatory terrace Don’t miss: Via Mario was originally flanked by the Cadillac Motor Company (in 1931) and Saks & Company, in what was then known as the Glen Hodges Building. Back then, this via was called Via Marguary and was the scene of many a late-night revelry. George Lamaze moved his dining garden, Patio Lamaze, here in the 1930s. Today, the name has changed, but the playful, lighthearted gaiety can be seen in the angel sculptures and reflecting pond leading to iron gates and another statue of Venus, reaffirming the forever-young spirit of Palm Beach. When the Armani store came to Worth Avenue, it chose a site that contained Via Garzo, which passed through to Peruvian Avenue. With the design of the building, this via was closed off, and stately display windows were added on either side of the doorway.

Betteridge: A Palm Beach Institution

5

Running the gamut from jewels and antiques to watches, silver and gifts in a landmark setting, this venerated establishment is a destination for discerning shoppers from all around the world.

The Betteridge name in jewelry dates back to the 1700s in Birmingham, England. Betteridge settled in the U.S. in 1897, and Terry Betteridge is currently the fourth-generation jeweler and owner of five Betteridge locations. Betteridge Palm Beach is located in the historically preserved Greenleaf & Crosby shop — a Worth Avenue landmark since the 1920s. The store is a beautiful Old World setting with cases and wall units from the days of Henry Flagler.

Betteridge is a tribute to the individuality of the contemporary shopper with a range of fine jewelry from antique and estate jewelry to

classic diamond, gemstone and pearl jewelry, home to Verdura, Nicholas Varney, Mark Davis, Goshwara, Bielka, Paul Morelli, Paolo Costagli, Robert Procop, Dorota and Peggy S. Guinness.

Customer service is truly the Betteridge hallmark. Services on premises include jewelry repair and construction, jewelry design, appraising and purchasing. Staff experience exceeds 125 years in fine jewelry!

“There is no other shop in Palm Beach with the variety of merchandise or the range of services offered at Betteridge,” says manager Inez Fogel Heery. “Back-to-back shows from

November through April offer something for everyone, and customer service is our priority every day of the year.”

ADDISON MIZNER

The exotic Mediterranean architecture common to parts of Worth Avenue and Palm Beach can be traced to Addison Mizner, an eccentric architect, circa 1918, who found his way to the nascent Palm Beach, teamed up with sewing machine heir Paris Singer and embarked on his own version of designing paradise. His first project was the Everglades Club, followed by the extravagant oceanfront estate El Mirasol (The Sunflower), home of Philadelphia stock market titan Edward T. Stotesbury and his wife, Eva, Palm Beach’s first family of society at the time.

Mizner went on to build more

estates for the rich and famous, as well as shops and apartments along Worth Avenue. In 1925 and 1926, he created Via Mizner and Via Parigi, two of the Avenue’s most charming courtyards.

B

THE BREAKERS

Today, The Breakers is synonymous with luxury on a grand Palm Beach scale, but its origins were more modest when it opened as Henry Flagler’s The Palm Beach Inn in 1896 to accommodate travelers on his Florida East Coast

Railway. Back then, it was the beachfront annex of the Royal Poinciana Hotel, which Flagler had opened in 1894. When guests began requesting rooms “over by the breakers,” Flagler renamed it The Breakers Hotel in 1901. The wooden hotel burned in 1903 and was rebuilt, opening in 1904. In 1925, The Breakers Hotel burned yet again, and it was again rebuilt, this time in concrete, and modeled in grandiose style after the Villa Medici in Rome. The “new” Breakers reopened in 1926 and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. The hotel complex has been updated over the years, covers more than

100 acres and is distinguished by two landmark towers and a sweeping front drive. It has become synonymous with Palm Beach grandeur and continues to be the site of many charity galas during social season. It is still privately run by the descendants of Henry Flagler.

C

COCONUTS

This rarefied men’s club was instituted decades ago by a select group of Palm Beach bachelors as a way to fulfill their social obligations WORTH AVENUE

77

by hosting an annual party. These days, openings to the group only occur if someone dies or resigns; its membership reads like a who’s who of the island’s elite captains of industry, with the sugar dynasty Fanjuls, über-industrialists Charles and David Koch, and mega investor Wilbur Ross, to name a few. Perhaps Palm Beach’s “Shiny Sheet,” its society newspaper, describes it best: “On an island where galas are a matter of course, charity balls de rigeur and parties of the season a daily occurrence, there is one invitation that says you ‘are’ Palm Beach: the Coconuts Ball. Harkening back to the F. Scott Fitzgerald glory days of suave sophistication and loose-libating, the 25 Coconuts—dressed in their white dinner jackets, red carnation boutonnieres, black ties and Stubbs & Wootton velvet slippers—are a dashing lot that control the tightest guest list on the island.”

Dina Merrill

HENRY FLAGLER

Henry Flagler was a Standard Oil tycoon who is generally regarded as the father of Palm Beach.

During the Gilded Age, he was one of America’s robber barons, amassing great wealth through questionable business practices.

He built a railroad that eventually linked South Florida to the rest of the civilized United States, and he opened the Royal Poinciana Hotel in the winter of 1894. It became the cornerstone of the resort called Palm Beach. Flagler also built his mansion, “Whitehall,” on Palm Beach in 1901 for his thenwife, Mary Lily Kenan. Whitehall is now a museum.

GENTLEMEN OF THE GARDEN

DINA MERRILL

Dina Merrill has always personified the glamour that is Palm Beach. The only child of Post cereal heiress Marjorie Merriweather Post and her husband, stockbroker E.F. Hutton, Nedenia Marjorie Hutton grew up at the lavish estate Mar-a-Lago, where her whimsically painted bedroom has been lovingly preserved.

(Mar-a-Lago is now a private club owned by Donald Trump.) Nedenia attended Miss Porter’s School, was a golden debutante and went on to become an actress in the late 1950s. Groomed as the “next Grace Kelly,” she changed her name to Dina Merrill and made several films. She was always a philanthropist, a great hostess, and has maintained a long association with Palm Beach.

ETIQUETTE

Although Emily Post often is relegated to relic status in the world at large, Palm Beach is still

the land of manners and discretion. Here are a few of the tips we uncovered. Wedding attire is still a matter of propriety; if you are a man, and a wedding is before 6 p.m., a formal suit or morning suit is appropriate. After 6, tuxedo or tails. And yes, men still open doors. Thank-you notes are a must, and punctuality is a virtue (“fashionably late” is an oxymoron), especially for a dinner party. Gentlemen still walk on the roadside of the sidewalk; people do not discuss money, drop names or behave rudely to a servant. Just to make sure the old ways are carried on, The Junior League of the Palm Beaches still has its “Cotillion Season,” in which children are taught etiquette, ballroom dance and philanthropy.

The Gentlemen of the Garden Inc. is a Palm Beach charity, founded in 1991, that is dedicated to the fundraising and preservation of gardens and other natural resources. As the organization states: “We selectively choose our philanthropic contributions based on specific landscaping and environmental beautification projects. Recipients of our funding have included Mounts Botanical Gardens, the Preservation Foundation, The Lords Place and Locks of Love. The GOG’s primary function is to support the gardening activities at the Ann Norton Sculpture Garden.”

The organization, known for its irreverence, its high society members and its wild “Devil’s Night” parties at Halloween, may be most famous for its legendary calendar showcasing many of its members posing in the nude with “strategically placed garden foliage.”

HIGH FASHION

It’s been a long way for Worth Avenue since it was a sleepy little tropical outpost with an alligator concession. These days, the Avenue is the epicenter in Palm Beach for couture, with international designers like Salvatore Ferragamo, Chanel, Giorgio Armani, Gucci, Graff, Hermès, Louis Vuitton, Ralph Lauren, Tiffany & Co. and many more fashion names represented. With all the black-tie galas and society luncheons, designer dressing is a way of life. On the other hand, high fashion Palm Beach-style also can mean casually worn resort wear, good sandals, white slacks and a ponytail with a scarf. This riff on fashion can be most elegant and is a trademark of the understated Palm Beach aesthetic.

I

ICONS

Palm Beach has several icons, from the perpetually tan George Hamilton, who grew up here, to the elegant Red Cross Ball (tiaras regularly worn) to snagging the

WWW.WORTH-AVENUE.COM

window table at Ta-boo. Other people who have become synonymous with Palm Beach are Estée Lauder and Donald Trump; iconic architecture might include any number of oceanfront mansions, including Casa Eleda, the Fatiodesigned “ham and cheese” house at 920 S. Ocean Blvd., so named

because of its alternating bands of red brick and coral Key stone.

(Scandalous side note: A former house owner, James S. Sullivan, who bought it in 1981 and sold it a decade later, is serving a 2006 life-without-parole sentence after being convicted of hiring a hit man who killed his wife, Lita McClinton Sullivan, in 1987 at her suburban Atlanta home.) Other symbols that say Palm Beach is your chauffeur-driven Rolls, the small white Maltese in your handbag and a certain shade of a blonde that can only be described as Champagne.

J

JIMMY BUFFETT

Jimmy Buffett lives here, which would seem improbable given his barefoot troubadour/Parrothead/ blew-out-my-flip-flop vibe, but it’s true. Buffett, who is famously media-shy, has made a fortune off his laid-back persona and is a shrewd businessman with more than enough assets to stake a claim in Palm Beach, among his other homes. He is rarely seen but we like knowing he’s nearby, just in case we run out of tequila. Other star power on the island includes Rod Stewart, Howard Stern and Rush Limbaugh.

The Kennedy family in Palm Beach

K

KENNEDYS

John Fitzgerald Kennedy and other members of the large Kennedy family were a fixture on Palm Beach starting in 1933, when Joe Kennedy bought an oceanfront house there.

The family was an island presence through the time of JFK’s presidency all the way up to the infamous Kennedy Smith rape case of 1991. The family compound was at 1095 N. Ocean Blvd. and was once known as the Winter White House. Palm Beach was a family refuge, from frequent vacations to mass at St. Edward Catholic Church to shopping on Worth Avenue. The house had seen far better days when it ultimately was sold in 1995 for $4.9 million. It was completely redone—and it’s for sale again, as of this writing.

L

LILLY PULITZER

Lilly Pulitzer was a Palm Beach blueblood who was once married to Peter Pulitzer (and later to Enrique Rousseau) and started a clothing line that became worldfamous. Back in the late 1950s, the Pulitzers owned orange groves, so Lilly opened a juice stand on Via Mizner off Worth Avenue. In order to camouflage the inevitable juice stains, she designed a series of colorful printed shifts she wore to work. Her customers loved them, and the rest, as they say, is history.

By 1959, Lilly was president of her own company, which she eventually closed in 1984. The company was sold and the brand was revived in the early 1990s, with a whole new generation of Lilly Pulitzer devotees. Although Pulitzer died in April of 2013, the dresses she

launched are still synonymous with Palm Beach resort style.

M

MILLIONAIRE’S ROW

The nickname of this stretch of mega ocean-to-lake (the “lake” refers to the Intracoastal Waterway) mansions has been upgraded in the last decade from Millionaire’s Row to Billionaire’s Row; it’s roughly the area south of Southern Boulevard to Sloan’s Curve.

This is considered prime Palm Beach residential real estate and has historically been the domain of many captains of industry. Today, this is the general area you’ll find the homes of rockster Rod Stewart, developer Jeff Green, hair care heiress Sydelle Miller, the Merck pharmaceutical family and more.

N

NOT IN MY BACKYARD

This expression may have been invented in Palm Beach, which happens to be very concerned with appearances, for starters.

There are rules for architectural compliance, where you can park, how long you can park, when you can have construction (between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday; Saturday is reserved for “quiet” work) and much more. No helicopters are permitted, and there are no sales on Worth Avenue during “season.” In the past, day workers were required to have ID badges, and men were asked not to jog without shirts. You will not find a Walmart on Palm Beach, nor will you spot a car dealership or a McDonald’s.

There is, however, a Star-

bucks, which was seen by many as the first sign that the island was doomed. Stay tuned: White shoes before Memorial Day is next.

big agenda but some fun events.

But the private club is alive and well in Palm Beach, even today.

OPRAH

Q

Every now and then Palm Beach is awash in rumors of Oprah buying a house here, but our favorite (and true) Palm Beach Oprah story dates back to 2008, when the talk show queen persuaded Donald Trump to close his private club, Mar-a-Lago, for a private threeday party to honor Maya Angelou on her 80th birthday. It cost her $4 million, and 500 guests, including Quincy Jones, Cicely Tyson and Steve Wynn, showed up in the golden ballroom to salute Angelou.

Entertainment was provided by Donna Summer, Tony Bennett and Paul Anka. Only in Palm Beach.

QUEEN OF PALM BEACH

Marjorie Merriweather Post makes a grand entrance at The Breakers.

The Everglades Club

Sailfish Club is the oldest in Palm Beach and is more boating- and fishing-oriented. The Bath & Tennis Club is beachy and family-oriented, with an influx of seasonal members, and the Palm Beach Country Club is largely Jewish, presumably dating from earlier times when restricted clubs were the norm. Gilded Mar-a-Lago is Old World flashy and open to anyone who can afford it, and Club Collette is a supper club with no

P

PRIVATE CLUBS

To outsiders, Palm Beach may appear to be one big private club on its own, but it actually has several beach and country clubs that further insulate their members from the hoi polloi. Many of these

private clubs made headlines in the 1990s for being “restricted,” which is a nice word for all-white and non-Jewish, but times have changed, and at least on the face of it, most private clubs do not appear to discriminate. The most private of the private clubs is the venerable Everglades Club, which has no website and does not allow cell phones on premises. The

Until very recently there was always one woman who ruled the roost of Palm Beach Society, the grande dame, the social arbiter, the maker and breaker of guest lists. This “Queen” of Palm Beach is married to a highly successful man (although she can certainly come from money of her own), is highly social and is relentlessly philanthropic.

In the early days, Eva Stotesbury ruled Palm Beach from its finest house, the lavish Mizner-designed estate, El Mirasol. In fact, she and her wealthy older husband are said to have put Palm Beach society on the map. The Stotesbury era was followed by General Foods titan Marjorie Merriweather Post’s reign from the 1920s and 1930s, and her famous parties at Mar-a-Lago included her signature square dances.

The next in line to rule Palm Beach was Celia Lipton Farris, sometimes called the “Judy Garland” of the UK, an actress and entertainer who married millionaire Victor Farris and spent a lifetime in philanthropy and high society. Lipton Farris died in 2011, and so far, there has been no clear successor.

R

ROLLS-ROYCE

The Rolls may be somewhat of a cliché these days, but it has long been a hallmark of Palm Beach residents—with their drivers.

Other popular cars are Bentleys (the new Mercedes), Jaguars, Land Rovers and the occasional Maserati.

STUBBS & WOOTTON

These iconic day and evening slippers are another Palm Beach trademark, like Lilly Pulitzer dresses, Jack Rogers sandals and vintage Chanel. The name sounds like something veddy British, and the fact that you can buy “bespoke” versions only extends the delicious snob appeal. The truth is that this brand was launched in 1993 in Palm Beach by Percy Steinhart, a former investment banker.

There is the classic velvet slipper, the needlepointembroidered one, the one with tiny honeybees or flags or flamingoes or turtles or black labs. All very top-drawer—and expensive. (A

84

WWW.WORTH-AVENUE.COM

classic pair of slippers runs $450 these days.) And the name? Steinhart is said to have “borrowed” the names of two of his “favorite 18th-century English artists, Mr. George Stubbs and Mr. John Wootton, both of whom specialized in painting scenes of gentlemanly sporting pursuits—fitting for a brand that deals in masculine elegance.”

And Palm Beachers keep eating it up.

T

TA-BOO

Ta-boo on Worth Avenue is the street’s iconic restaurant; so iconic, in fact, that it maintains it invented the Bloody Mary, like so many establishments of a certain age in America. This one, however, has earned its reputation as the Palm Beach seeand-be-seen place. It was launched in 1941

and underwent several ownership changes until 1990, when current owners Franklyn deMarco and Nancy Sharigan took over. In the good old days, when the restaurant’s roof would roll back for dancing under the stars, anyone who was anyone showed up, from Frank Sinatra to George Hamilton and the Duke and Duchess of Windsor. (Rumor has it that Joe Kennedy and Gloria Swanson had a tryst in the restroom there.)

Today, Ta-boo has carried on its star-studded yet local reputation, with a great dark bar, a cozy fireplace room, a table that practically sits on the sidewalk and a dessert called Coconut Lust that

is famous in and of itself. It’s the place you can always go for a glass of Veuve Cliquot when you need a little pick-me-up.

No one will tell.

Apart from the palm trees, architecture and dog-friendly water fountains, it’s the vias that help make the Worth Avenue experience unique as well as intimate.

Most of the vias feature private residences above the shops, so be sure to notice the obscure entrances and Addison Mizner-inspired tiled stairways, the wrought iron gates and classic sculpture. This is where you’ll find some of your favorite shops—and fully savor the classic Palm Beach experience.

These are what pass for a greeting in Palm Beach—very elaborate air kisses. No one in Palm Beach actually makes lip contact, as that could destroy an hour’s worth of carefully wrought natural makeup. Hugs are also implied as opposed to given. This does not mean people are unfriendly—just a little squeamish when it comes to PDAs.

Above: Bruce Sutka and Bobby Leidy, at the Beach Bash. Left: Young Friends of the American Red Cross party in 1980

Young Friends of the Red Cross party was hosted on Worth Avenue at Anderson’s family property over their bank, and raised more than $1.5 million for the chapter. The group has since been known for its parties, especially the themed ones thrown on New Year’s Eve back in the day, executed by eccentric party planner Bruce Sutka.

Z ZEN

This is the way you feel when you’ve had one of those really perfect Palm Beach moments.

Maybe it’s that day at the beach at the end of Worth Avenue when you’ve been swimming, watching ospreys swoop into the waves. Or maybe it’s a glass of Champagne at an outdoor table at Bice at the end of the day, a great pair of shoes on sale at Neiman’s. Maybe it’s a long walk on the Lake Trail, or a milkshake at Green’s Drug Store. It’s that moment when you go beyond the hype of Palm Beach to something more real, more centered, warmer. Is it Zen? Or is it touching a sense of place here, the one that dreams are made of?

Art After Dark at the Norton Museum of Art

Exploring South Florida Palm Beach County and South Florida are exceptional vacation destinations—and highlight the best of the state in recreation as well as culture.

By michelle ferrand

Arts & Culture norton museum of art, West Palm Beach

One of the premier art museums in the Southeast, as well as the largest in Florida, the Norton Museum of Art has been a cultural fixture in West Palm Beach since 1941. Founded by Ralph Hubbard Norton and wife Elizabeth Calhoun Norton, the museum is known for the quality of its permanent collection, traveling exhibitions and innovative educational programs.

The internationally renowned permanent collection features more than 7,000 works, concentrated in European, American, Chinese and contemporary art and photography. The museum also offers a year-round schedule of special exhibitions.

The Norton Museum of Art, at 1451 S. Olive Ave., is open from Tuesday to Sunday and closed

106

WWW.WORTH-AVENUE.COM

on Mondays and on major holidays. Hours are Tuesday to Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. But on Thursdays, hours are extended to 9 p.m. for its weekly Art After Dark program. Visitors 21 and older will get to sip on a glass (or two) of wine while feasting on gourmet dishes from the museum’s café, Fratelli Lyon. General admission to the permanent collection costs $12 for adults, $5 for students and is free for members and children 12 and younger.

However, admissions on Thursdays are half-price all day for non-members. For more information, call 561/832-5196 or visit norton.org.

Pan’s Garden, Palm Beach

Standing with flute in hand, the bronze statue of Pan of Rohallion welcomes visitors to this green oasis in the center of Palm Beach. Pan’s Garden is a half-acre filled with Southern magnolia trees,

scarlet milkweeds, and about 300 more species of Florida native vegetation. Visitors can walk through the tranquil pathways or relax on a bench under the garden’s roofed, open pavilion.

Pan’s Garden, at 386 Hibiscus Ave., is open to the public weekdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. General admission to the gardens is free. For more information, call 561/832-0731.

After marrying Ralph Hubbard Norton, founder of the Norton Museum of Art, in 1947, sculptor and art collector Ann Von Weaver began to fill their property, now the Ann Norton Sculpture Gardens, with more than 100 works.

Visitors to the historical site can wander through the property and admire Ann’s artwork, including the nine monumental sculptures she left behind, eight in brick and one in granite.

The luscious garden holds native plants as well as more than 300 rare palms and welcomes birds and other animals that seasonally migrate to the area.

On 2051 S. Flagler Drive, admission to the gardens and home is $10 for adults, $8 for seniors, $5 for children ages 5 and older, and free for members; however, the gardens are closed during the month of August. Hours are from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesday through Sunday.

rant—but an essential experience here is the Frédéric Fekkai Salon & Spa. After opening in 2004, it quickly became one of the most notable in the Palm Beach area, with a talented staff and top-notch amenities. This 1,600-square-foot boutique offers styling, coloring, manicures and pedicures, massages, waxing and other spa treatments complete with 14 stations overlooking the pool.

The ChesTerfield Palm BeaCh 363 Cocoanut row 561/659-5800, chesterfieldpb.com It’s veddy British, veddy cozy and a delight of a hotel—one of the island’s really great spots—but we’d have to make our favorite amenity The Leopard Lounge. Known as one of the best places to get a drink and people-watch, the venue has live entertainment every day of the week as well as great drink and food specials. If you’re out for the day, join the Chesterfield for afternoon tea from 3–5 p.m., complete with tiny sandwiches, scones and pastries.

eau Palm BeaCh resorT & sPa 100 s. ocean Blvd., manalapan 561/533-6000, eaupalmbeach.com Eau is whimsical and fully loaded with luxury amenities, but we have to stake our don’t-miss claim on its fabulous Eau Spa, a lavish, 42,000-square-foot “water playground” complete with a bath lounge, salon, spa treatments, garden villas, DIY scrub and polish bar, fitness center and a “beautique.” Looking for a relaxing day to yourself?

The Colony Palm BeaCh 155 hammon ave.

561/655-5430, thecolonypalmbeach.com The Colony is another classic Palm Beach address, with a pedigree and level of amenities that date to the days when the Duke and Duchess of Windsor were winter guests. We love, love, love it, but we have to say that, aside from the great Royal Room Cabaret (another bonus), we are partial to Motown Friday Nights at the Polo Lounge. Once a week, The Colony takes guests back to the Temptations era with the band Memory Lane performing Motown favorites from the ‘60s to the ‘80s. You will be dancing approximately eight minutes after you arrive.

The omPhoy oCean resorT 2842 s. ocean Blvd.

561/540-6440, omphoy.com The Omphoy has a chic Zen-like ambience and a great oceanfront location, but we like to hang out at the beautiful O-Bar, a great place to grab a drink and some snacks from the tapas menu. Offering a wide assortment of cocktails and wines, the O-Bar even has its own original concoction, the Omphoy Om-Tini, a Palm Beach classic. Visit the O-Bar with your friends and enjoy the luxurious Italian “Vitale” billiards table or just enjoy sports on the 64-inch flat-screen.

Take a Walk on Worth Avenue The whimsical history of Worth Avenue comes alive with guide Rick Rose.

By Taryn Tacher

W

orth Avenue is glamorous. It is a microcosm of refined living, but it also has depth and history embedded in every architectural masterpiece lining the street.

“I think before you can understand Worth Avenue,” tour guide Rick Rose says, “you really need to understand Palm Beach.”

Worth Avenue was established in the Gilded Age following the opening of the Royal Poinciana Hotel in 1894, which put Palm Beach on the map as the only resort destination in the United States. Blue-chip social register families like the Vanderbilts, the Dodges and the Woolworths would spend their winters in this little glimpse of paradise—and they began to patronize the Everglades Club as well as shops that would Rick Rose sprout up over time.

Today, Rick Rose leads historical walking tours of Worth Avenue, explaining eccentric architect Addison Mizner’s lush Mediterranean revival vision and his rare ability to create a special ambience through hidden vias and building details.

The Avenue has plenty of secrets, and Rose is the guide who unlocks them in his tours every Wednesday at 11 a.m. from Nov. 26 through the end of April.

Here are a few of them: ■ The late Lilly Pulitzer’s clothing line began when she opened a juice stand on Worth Avenue to sell the orange juice produced from her family’s orange groves.

She asked her dressmaker to design simple bright shifts that

would camouflage juice spills. Pulitzer’s friends adored the “uniforms,” and a brand was born.

■ Dining room walls at Villa Mizner (in a private home above Via Mizner) are covered in wood-carved panels from the castle in Spain where Queen Isabella handed jewels to Christopher Columbus to finance his trip to the New World.

■ Once, Rick Rose was in the middle of a tour when he spotted Barbra Streisand and James Brolin walking behind the tour group. She didn’t want to be seen, but he was interested in what Rose had to say.

■ When Mizner’s pet monkey Johnnie Brown died in 1927, it made national headlines. His grave can be seen today in Via Mizner.

■ Today, a descendant of the presidential Adams family lives in Villa Mizner.

■ The Bloody Mary was supposedly invented by a bartender for socialite Barbara Hutton at Worth Avenue’s most famous restaurant, Ta-boo, on a morning after she had hosted a party at her father’s estate.

Note: All proceeds from these walking tours benefit the Els for Autism Foundation.
