EDITOR’S NOTE

Simply THE BEST

STEVEN MARTINE

T

hey say everyone has an opinion. This month, we’ve turned tens of thousands of them (all submitted by our readers) into a magazine issue. To that end, I present the third annual Best Of Jupiter. In this month’s pages, you’ll find hundreds of reader-selected winners and runners up (plus my editor’s picks)—all representing the very best of northern Palm Beach County. But this issue is about more than rankings and bragging rights. It’s a love letter to the restaurants, shops, businesses, professionals, and local personalities that make our community one of a kind.

Better yet, it’s chosen by the people who know it best: our readers. So thank you. Thank you to each of you who nominated your favorites, rallied your friends to vote by the thousands, and passionately defended why your pizza, hairstylist, pediatrician, or happy hour (and beyond) deserved the top spot. (And trust me, some of these categories got...competitive.)

My advice? Don’t just flip through this issue—put it to work. Save it. Dog-ear the pages. Circle the restaurants you’ve been meaning to try. Mark up the margins. Book that appointment you’ve been putting off. Stop into that bakery you keep driving past. Plan the weekend adventure you’ve been talking about. ( Just don’t blame me when your list of places to check out suddenly gets a whole lot longer.)

Congratulations to this year’s winners and runners up. You’ve earned bragging rights for the next 12 months.

And if your favorite didn’t take home the top prize this year, take heart. I can promise we’ll be asking for your opinion again when nominations open next year.

Enjoy,

BEHIND THE SCENES Kristen Desmond LeFevre Editor in Chief klefevre@jupitermag.com

AIR APPARENT People think being editor in chief of a magazine is glamorous, but sometimes the job simply requires being full of enough hot air to blow up balloons for a cover concept you’ve been dreaming up for your Best Of issue. To bring that dream to life, art director Craig Cottrell, photographer Ian Jacob, and I filled Ian’s studio with metallic balloons and plenty of confetti. The result is this month’s bespoke cover—and a wildly fun collaboration among creatives willing to experiment, make a mess, and see what floated.

This is one of the issues we look forward to most each year—a celebration of the businesses and professionals that help make northern Palm Beach County such a wonderful place to live. Nominated and voted on by our readers, this year’s winners and finalists include longtime local favorites as well as newer names that are quickly making their mark.

Throughout the issue, you’ll find standouts in dining, shopping, healthcare, wellness, home services, recreation, and more. Each finalist has earned a loyal following by delivering great experiences, building strong relationships, and consistently serving our community.

Putting this special issue together is one of the biggest projects our team takes on each year. Our editor in chief, Kristen, our art director, Craig, and the entire Jupiter Magazine team spend months managing web responses, gathering information, coordinating photography, writing, designing, and checking every detail. I am always proud to see their passion and dedication come together in these pages.

To all of this year’s winners and finalists, congratulations on this well-deserved recognition. The work you do strengthens our local business community and gives residents and visitors so many reasons to enjoy the Jupiter area.

Also in this issue, you’ll find our Leaders of Palm Beach County advertorials, along with regular advertising sections such as our Home Resource Guide, Luxury Homes real estate section, and our Local Dining Guide.

PAWS AND POURS Michael Slobasky is putting local dog parks to shame with the opening of his Baxter’s Doghouse in Stuart. The new canine social club is the bark of the town with a dog park and splash pad, dog-centered events, and doggie day care.

Humans who tag along with their furry friends can enjoy cocktails at the bar, food fare from rotating food trucks, live music, or a match up on the pickleball court. “After you have a hard day’s work and your dog is stuck at home all day, you can both have fun,” says Slobasky. “You don’t even have to have a dog to come. Everybody loves it.” (baxtersdoghouse.com) –Valerie Staggs

THE CURRENT IN THE KNOW

CLOCKWISE FROM LEFT: Volunteers inspect a Swallow-tailed kite, who wears a falconer’s hood to reduce stress. An identification leg band is affixed to a Swallow-tailed Kite’s leg. American redstarts like this one can be spotted in South Florida during migration season througout the fall.

BIRDS

SOUTH FLORIDA’S SKIES ARE FILLED WITH FASCINATING FEATHERED RESIDENTS AND SEASONAL VISITORS. HERE’S WHERE TO FIND THEM—AND HOW TO GET STARTED.

BY VALERIE STAGGS

BIRDING FOR BEGINNERS During the fall migration season, South Florida is the thoroughfare for birds on their way south. “We are part of the Atlantic Flyway for migration,” says Lorraine SulickMorecraft, a board member at the Audubon Society of Martin County. “Birds up north who have finished breeding head for their winter grounds and come down our coast.” Local parks and preserves are often waystations for migrating birds, giving enthusiasts great opportunities to see a diversity of birds including songbirds, shorebirds, raptors, hawks, and falcons. Audubon Society outreach volunteer and birder Jill Gleichman offers these tips for new birders. (audubonofmartincounty.org) • Take a Field Trip. “Our chapter organizes guided birding trips and educational programs in the community,” Gleichman says. “Field trips are a great way to learn.”

• Download a Birding App. “The eBird app will show you what birds other people

22

are seeing in an area so you know where to go and what to look for,” she says.

• Visit a Birding Hotspot.

“Jonathan Dickinson State Park is the number one hotspot in the area,” Gleichman advises.

“Possum Long Nature Center is a great place to see warblers. To see all the pretty birds, visit Halpatiokee Regional Park.”

• Start Where You Are. “Start identifying birds in your neighborhood first,” Gleichman says. “Then build up from there.”

FEATHERED FILM STARS The Swallow-tailed Kite is the star of a film that debuted at the Florida Environmental Film Festival. Shot in the Loxahatchee Slough and Cypress Creek Natural Area in northern Palm Beach County, Tracking Kites documents the efforts of local conservationists and scientists from the Avian Research & Conservation Institute (ARCI) as they trap and tag Swallow-tailed Kites for scientific study and tracking.

“This film is something I have been wanting to do for as long as we have been involved with ARCI,” says Benji Studt, outreach and science communication lead at Palm Beach County Environmental Resources Management

(PBCERM) and executive producer of the film. Studt is featured in the film working alongside scientists from ARCI and conservationists from the Palm Beach Zoo and Conservation Society. “They are a forgotten bird,” he says. “They have seen dramatic population declines, but they are not protected,” Noted for their deeply forked tails and black and white plumage, Swallow-tail Kites nest locally between February and August.

The trackers ARCI placed on these birds offers important data, says Studt. “Migratory birds are an indicator of how we are doing globally and how we are impacting the environment. The goal of the film is to make the connection not just how special the land and animals here are, but that we are a part of it.” (arcinst.org; pbcgov.com/erm) ❖

BIRDING

BACKPACKS Whether you live in Palm Beach County or Martin County, check in at your local library and reserve a Birding Backpack to get started on your avian adventure. Backpacks contain everything a beginning birder needs including binoculars, birding guides, and checklists.

Anyone with a library card can check them out for free. So put on a comfortable pair of shoes, grab a backpack, and head out to a local park or preserve to meet some new feathered friends. (pbclibrary.org/kits; ecological-associates.com/birdingbackpacks-for-martin-county-libraries)

nside the recently expanded Honey House on Sierra Malnove’s acreage in the western reaches of Palm Beach Gardens, local beekeepers swarm—ready to learn more about hive tending and honey harvesting as well as processing, packaging, and marketing of honey-based products that Malnove preaches about like it’s a religion.

Malnove owns and operates Sierra’s Bees, a private beekeeping service. She—along with Al Salopek, her partner in both life and business—are heavily involved in the Palm Beach County Beekeepers Association (PBCBA). On this warm Saturday afternoon, they’ve invited the association’s members to the Honey House to show off the expansion and improvements to the kosher-certified commercial food kitchen accented with beeinspired charm.

“What I have is very unique,” Malnove explains, noting that there are a few large-scale beekeeping operations in Palm Beach County and a couple of honey-packers—but very few

Routine hive inspections help ensure healthy, productive colonies. Malnove manages apiaries throughout South Florida, where she monitors her bees through every stage of the honey-making process.

Eastpointe Country Club, Hobe Sound Golf Club, North Palm Beach Country Club, Mariner Sands Country Club, and Atlantic Fields Country Club—as well as resorts and private, high-profile residential customers.

But Sierra’s Bees is about more than just maintaining hives. “We are constantly looking for new ideas,” says Malnove who advises on landscape choices to support pollinators and hive placement for guest and worker safety.

She works with chefs and mixologists to incorporate honey into recipes, and even dreams up new ways to process and package honey to be offered for sale or as gifts in the club

or resort’s spa and shops.

She also helps her clients obtain certifications from organizations like Audubon International.

“In order to be Audubon certified, you have to do a new project every two to three years to show that you’re continuing your support of the environment,” she says. In return, the environment provides honey with a flavor profile that’s completely unique to your location. “Even when [clubs] are only a couple of miles apart, everyone’s honey is just a little bit different because of their own microclimate,”

Malnove explains. Honey flavors change seasonally as different species of plants flower and bloom throughout the year.

Back at the Honey House, Malnove processes honey harvests for her clients as well as local small-scale beekeepers. One machine extracts honey from hive frames, another bottles it, and a third prints labels.

In 2020, while attending the International Beekeepers Conference in Montreal, Malnove discovered a piece of equipment that solves a common problem with many Florida honey varieties, which tend to crystallize into a texture some consumers find less appealing.

The machine alters this crystal structure, creating a smooth, spreadable product.

Inspired by the discovery, Malnove and Salopek launched the Palm Beach Creamed Honey Company, offering creamed honey and Bee10 Coffee & Hot Chocolate— a honey-infused blend that transforms into a sweet beverage by adding hot water. Both products are available online and at select Fresh Market locations.

But for Malnove, the business has always been about more than honey—it’s about helping people better understand the vital role honeybees play in our lives.

“Beekeeping connects people to the environment,” she says. “It also connects people to their community in a way they’ve never been connected before.” (sierrasbees.com) ❖ SEP T EM B ER 2 0 2 6

CHARACTER

SECOND ACT Jupiter’s Holly Dawn Davidson makes her acting comeback in a new film produced by Mark Wahlberg and Snoop Dogg

W

hen Holly Dawn Davidson got the call that Oscarnominated director Steve Cantor wanted her to audition for his new documentary Four Down, she was ready. “I was in character… so much so that I got emotional at some of the questions they asked me,” says Davidson.

Four Down chronicles the real-life story of the boat accident that claimed the lives of NFL players Marquis Cooper and Corey Smith. plus a third man 50 miles off the coast of Clearwater, Florida in 2009. Davidson plays Marcia Schuyler, the mother of Nick Schuyler, the sole survivor. Her emotional audition struck just the right chord for Cantor —as well as Mark Wahlberg and Snoop Dogg who are producers of the film.

The most poignant affirmation of her portrayal came from Marcia Schuyler herself. “I was sitting in front of Marcia at the premiere at the Sunscreen Film Festival in Tampa,” says Davidson. “She came up to me and was so grateful I was able to portray her the way she was.” Four Down is slated for widespread release in January 2027.

The role is a comeback of sorts for Davidson, who acted when she was younger but took a 19-year break to raise her twin sons.

Originally from Texas, Davidson landed roles in 1980s films including Pancho Barnes with Valerie Bertinelli and the romantic comedy It Takes Two. She was also cast in the popular TV show Dallas. When she and her husband moved to Jupiter in 2004, Davidson left acting behind to focus on her family.

A few years ago, she got the bug. “I Goo-

gled ‘how do I get back into acting’” says Davidson. “I found a woman in Los Angeles who was in the business, watched her YouTube videos, got a headshot and signed up for casting websites.” After countless auditions for many different roles, Davidson finally landed the role in Four Down.

Davidson can also be seen in the Disney+ documentary series Something Bit Me and crime drama The Advocate streaming on Amazon Prime.

Davidson’s latest project is one close to her heart. “I had been wanting to write

about my experience with IVF (in vitro fertilization),” she says. “It is such an isolating experience. Unless you are going through it, you don’t know how it feels.” She shared her story and her insights in a book draft titled Infertility—Ain’t it a Bitch? that she is now shopping to agents. “It’s almost like a Chicken Soup for the Soul book. The chapters are funny. It’s a tongue-in-cheek look at infertility.”

Davidson hopes the book will eventually help women experiencing infertility feel like they are not alone. “Every actor is told to write your own story,” she says. “This is mine.” ❖

erri Paizzi already has her retirement planned. “When I retire, I’m going back to being a hostess,” says Paizzi. “I want to be that old lady at the door greeting people and asking how the grandkids are doing.” For Paizzi, the owner of Flavor South Florida, the restaurant industry has been her passion since her days working in a New York deli at the age of 14. Today the Hobe Sound resident champions local restaurants every September through her Flavor South Florida program.

The official restaurant month for Palm Beach and the Treasure Coast, Flavor South Florida spans 122 miles with more than 100 participating restaurants.

Each restaurant features a threecourse menu at a special price.

“This is the month where you are going to get the best dining deals at the best restaurants,” says Paizzi. “The incentive is to get the locals out dining and supporting the restaurants in their slowest month of the year.”

Paizzi recently launched a new podcast called Forking Around with Flavor South Florida to talk about the restaurant business from the inside out. It features an in-depth look at the industry through the voices of chefs, owners, influencers, and businesspeople. “I want to know how they got here and why did they get here?” says Paizzi.

“It’s 100 hours a week on your feet and people are yelling at you. It’s really high pressure to work in the industry.” Still, part of Paizzi yearns to be back at the hostess stand. “I remember doing 500 dinners on a Saturday night. When people get hungry,

A: I’m a great cook! I love making Italian food and fish dishes.

Q: What’s the most exotic food you have eaten?

A: I was at this tequila tasting where they had you shoot the tequila and chase it with a fried cricket. It tasted like a potato chip.

Q: What’s your go-to cocktail?

A: I love martinis that are creative and different. The Peas & Thank You Martini at The Butcher’s Club is my current favorite.

PROTEIN POWER

Stuart dietician Tony Castillo breaks down the protein craze into bite-sized pieces

BY VALERIE STAGGS

W

alk your local grocery store aisles and you’ll see the word protein emblazoned on everything from Cheerios to ice cream.

The push for more protein is everywhere, but understanding the power of protein is key to a healthy diet, says Tony Castillo, owner of Nutrition for Performance in Stuart.

Castillo, who holds a master’s degree in nutrition from Florida International University, spent the early part of his career as a sports dietician for Major League Baseball’s Toronto Blue Jays.

Today, he uses his experience working with athletes to help clients understand how protein contributes to healthy, strong bodies.

“Protein is what helps us build and keep muscle,” says Castillo. “I think of protein like Legos. You need 20 Legos in order for your body to keep muscle.” Those Legos are the amino acids found in protein-rich foods like meat, poultry, eggs, or plant proteins like quinoa and edamame.

Castillo has an easy reference point for protein portion size: “You should be eating about a palm size of protein every three to four hours,” he says. “We have this light switch in our body that turns off.

People who eat 20 to 30 grams of protein every three to four hours

SNACK PACK

Low Fat Mozzarella Sticks “Any brand is good. They are an easy protein snack on the go.”

Castillo says these five portable protein favorites work as hard as you do, whether you’re at home or on-the-go.

Seapoint Farms Dry Roasted Edamame “This is a great crunchy protein snack, especially for vegans.”

keep that light switch on which helps us build or keep our muscle.”

The goal is to aim for 1.6 grams of protein per kilogram of your body weight every day; but not all protein is created equal. “You should be eating whole foods first like lean meat and salmon,” says Castillo. “A lot of protein chips or protein bars are typically really high in fat and don’t stave off hunger.” Opting for a chicken breast, a small apple, and a handful of nuts gives you the same nutritional mix as a protein bar and will keep you full longer. Castillo recommends easy options for folks on the go. “Grab a yogurt or a glass of milk,” he says.

“Beef jerky or crunchy edamame is easy to throw in a bag. Cottage cheese is also having a moment right now.”

Getting the right proteins into your diet leads to many positive effects. “More muscle leads to a longer life,” says Castillo. “You’ll look better, feel better, have more energy, and you’ll see the changes in the mirror that you’re looking for.” (nutritionfp.com) ❖

Chobani or Oikos Greek Yogurt “They are a good protein source and they are mainstream—you can find them at a grocery store, an airport, or a gas station.”

Chomps Beef Sticks “These sticks have a good amount of protein and not a lot of ingredients.”

Fair Life Core Power Protein Shakes “These food-based shakes are shelf-stable so you can bring them with you, and you don’t have to keep them cold.”

Visitors can take a behind-the-scenes, small group tour of the family farm—which is also home to alpacas, goats, and donkeys.

frequently heard lament from northern transplants to our area is how they miss the change of seasons that they experienced back home. For Florida natives and longtime residents, the season change may be subtler, but the signs are there if you look.

Anyone spending time around the coast—especially anglers—mark the first sign of a transition away from the relentless heat of summer by the arrival of the fall mullet run. Beginning around Labor Day and running through late October, massive schools of both silver and striped mullet appear in large schools across coastal Florida.

Silver mullet migrate south to avoid the coming cold temperatures in their northern haunts while resident striped mullet move to the coast to spawn offshore. Combined,

For anglers, it’s a great time to develop confidence learning to throw a cast net—but be sure to exercise some restraint. It’s easy to over-harvest when mullet are so readily available, and wasting baits is an unfortunate byproduct of their relative but tenuous abundance. Mullet—once an important food source and seafood export in our state’s formative years—serve as an impressive reminder of the resilience of nature.

Though the mullet populations were previously threatened and remain a shell of their former numbers, actions to responsibly protect the keystone species have resulted in a species currently considered neither over- or under-fished.

Mullet are effective nutrient cyclers— by feeding on micro algae and decaying organic matter, they clean water and help to prevent algae blooms. As a foundation of the food web, they provide a vital food source to numerous fish, mammals, and birds, bridging the gap between micro-life and apex predators. While still well below historical numbers, recent seasonal runs have shown an uptick in the volume of these schools, giving Floridians a reason to be optimistic about the future ❖.

they produce a stunning visual spectacle.

Seeing acres of baitfish crowding the coastline is an impressive sight just by the sheer volume of life they represent; but adding the element of chaos that ensues with the interaction between predator and prey ramps the drama to the next level. Coastal anglers flock to the water eager to be part of the action. Even for non-anglers, the run is incredibly exciting to watch.

Easily accessible locations to witness this are Jupiter Inlet Jetty or Juno Beach Pier, Blowing Rocks Preserve, or Carlin Park for the ocean run fish. In Martin County, Bathtub Beach and the House of Refuge both offer easy viewing. The Intracoastal Waterway provides plenty of action early in the day or at night around any of the bridges from Jupiter through Jensen Beach.

George LaBonte is a professional captain and a worldclass angler who has run a local charter fishing operation for 40 years. He has hosted acclaimed boating-related TV shows that aired nationally, as well as a popular radio show on ESPN. (edgesportfishing.com; youtube.com/@ georgelabonteoutdoors) SEP T EM B ER 2 0 2 6

That’s because Polk County has quietly become one of the state’s great barbecue destinations–with many of its powerhouses within a two-hour drive of Jupiter. The proof arrives every winter with the Florida Triple Crown of Barbecue, a three-event competition stretching from January through April that draws elite pitmasters from across the Southeast.

The competition may only last a few months, but the destination earns its barbecue reputation every day of the year. Here are three of our favorites to try on a day trip.

‘CUE THE REWARDS: Make sure to sign up for Polk County’s free Fire & Flavor BBQ Trail Pass before you hit the road. Checking in at participating barbecue restaurants earns rewards along the way, from a commemorative sticker after your first stop, to a branded spatula after four check-ins, and a Visit Central Florida Whiskey Bent barbecue rub after seven. It’s a fun excuse to return for seconds—especially since no single day trip could possibly cover all of Polk County’s standout smokehouses. (visitcentralflorida.org/bbq-trail-pass)

Q&A

Michael Rolchigo

OWNER, TAVOLENA RESTAURANT Winner, Best Chef Tavolena is named after your grandmother, Lena. What’s one lesson she taught you that still guides your kitchen?

I remember going to the grocery store with her at a young age, she would select her meats at the counter (sometimes driving the butchers crazy ). She would also hand-select her produce very carefully. That always resonated with me to be ingredient-driven and to source the best quality ingredients to create the best possible meal.

What dish on your menu feels the most like home?

The Sunday Feast consisting of Lena’s original recipe meatball, house-made Italian sausage, and pork shoulder all simmered in her long-cook tomato sauce. Every week this was our Sunday dinner, served in the late afternoon. I was next to my grandmother almost every week watching her prepare this beautiful tradition.

Describe Tavolena in three words.

Love. Family. Passion. (tavolena.com) —K.D.L.

GET TO KNOW

Tommy Nevill

OWNER, NEVS BARBECUE Winner, Best Barbecue For Tommy Nevill, great Texas barbecue starts with restraint.

“Start with a great product, keep it low and slow, and let that product speak for itself,” says the Florida native, who discovered his passion for Central Texasstyle barbecue while living in the Lone Star State. Today, he and his wife, Kelsey, own Nevs Barbecue in Palm Beach Gardens, where prime meats are seasoned simply, smoked over post oak, and served until the day’s supply is gone. Brisket remains both Nevill’s favorite and “the toughest cut to master,” partly because “no two cuts of meat are ever the same,” he explains. A seasoned pitmaster must read each cut, he says, then adapt throughout the cooking process, and still deliver a consistently tender, flavorful result. He is also quick to bust the myth that a pink smoke ring guarantees great barbecue.

“The real magic is in the process, seasoning, and time spent in the smoker,” he says. Asked to describe Nevs in three words, Nevill doesn’t hesitate: “Bold.

Authentic. Family.” (nevsbarbecue.com) —K.D.L.

Over-shopping. After six or seven appointments, every dress starts looking the same. Instead of becoming more confident, most brides become more confused. I’d much rather see a bride visit a few boutiques she trusts, enjoy the experience, and make a decision while she’s still excited.

How do you know when a bride has found the dress?

The moment I usually notice is when they stop asking, “What else do you have?” and start picturing themselves walking down the aisle.

They quit shopping in their mind because they’ve already found it.

What’s one thing brides worry about that they really shouldn’t?

Needing to lose weight before saying yes to their dress. Your dress should celebrate who you are today.

Alterations will make it feel like it was made just for you. Don’t wait to feel worthy of finding your dream dress—you already are. (mollebridals.com) —K.D.L.

Q&A

Edmund Soriero OWNER, EDMUND JAMES SALON Winner, Best Hair Salon What’s the biggest hair mistake people make?

Skipping regular trims. A good timeline to follow is 4-6 weeks for short hair and 6-8 weeks for long hair. This keeps your hair healthy and prevents split ends, which will eventually go up the hair shaft.

What’s the secret to great hair between salon visits?

Using a heat protectant when you’re using any hot tools to prevent dryness and breakage.

What’s the most rewarding part of your job?

Besides seeing how someone feels when they leave my chair, it’s building long-term relationships.

I have seen most of my clients for decades to the point where they become family.

Describe your salon in three words.

Energetic. Friendly. Creative. (edmundjamessalon.com) —K.D.L.

Q&A

Dr. Heather Barron

CHIEF SCIENCE OFFICER & VETERINARIAN, LOGGERHEAD MARINELIFE CENTER Winner, Family Fun Spot What’s one thing people are surprised to learn about sea turtles?

Many people are surprised to learn that sea turtles can live for decades and often return to the same beach where they hatched to lay their own eggs years later.

Do your patients have personalities? Who’s been the biggest diva?

Every sea turtle has its own unique personality. Green sea turtles tend to be the most curious and laid-back, while Kemp’s ridleys are incredibly spirited—a little “spicy,” if you will . Terry the turtle is currently the biggest diva because she is such a picky eater. Most of our turtles eat greens, squid, or fish. Terry is only tempted by lobster or crab (and that’s on a good day).

What’s your favorite part of release day?

Seeing the community come together to celebrate a sea turtle’s recovery. Watching a rehabilitated turtle make its way back into the ocean is a true, full-circle moment and a reminder of why our work is so important. (marinelife.org) —K.D.L.

Nina Gelardi is an accomplished artist, designer, and entrepreneur whose passion for creativity is at the heart of Juno Shoe Girl Boutique, located at The Jupiter Yacht Club Marina and another location in Hobe Sound. With a bachelor of fine arts from The School for American Craftsmen at Rochester Institute of Technology and advanced training in accessory design, Gelardi has spent over two decades redefining coastal resort style.

Before moving to Florida in 2007, Gelardi started a career as a ceramic artist and owned Clayphernalia, a pottery and gallery near Princeton, New Jersey that showcased her original designs of home accessories, dinnerware and clay sculpture. During her time in New Jersey, she later launched Nina Gelardi Designs, a women’s accessory line of handmade belts with ceramic buckles, leather handbags, and fashion jewelry selling to boutiques around the country.

In 1998 Gelardi was hired as senior designer and creative director for Arteffects Footwear in Atlanta, where she moved to design for several international footwear labels. While at Arteffects, she travelled to many countries including Brazil, Italy, India, and China for new inspiration and to find unique materials

for her work. Her award-winning designs have been recognized by Florida’s Boutique Awards and the National Footwear Artisan Collective.

Gelardi, along with Sue Miller opened Juno Shoe Girl Boutique in Hobe Sound in 2012 and with Genie Murray at the Jupiter location in 2015. The boutique, named for Juno the Roman Goddess of women, features her handmade sandals crafted in Brazil with hand-dyed leathers and interchangeable jewelry ornaments, alongside carefully curated resort wear, handbags, jewelry, and gifts.

Gelardi and her team are deeply committed to supporting causes that empower women, protect animals, and promote inclusion. She proudly collaborates with Furry Friends Adoption Clinic & Ranch, SafeSpace, and Ernie Els Foundation for Autism, to name just a few.

In addition to Juno Shoe Girl, Gelardi owns two sister boutiques in Hobe Sound: Posh Pineapple and The Lavish Palm. These stylish destinations offer a broader selection of unique home decor and lifestyle accessories that continue to captivate and inspire her clientele.

Darlene O’Donnell is the founder and owner of Tide & Table, a coastal-inspired lifestyle boutique celebrated for its curated charm, effortless elegance and heartfelt hospitality. With a discerning eye for design and a deep-rooted passion for creating welcoming spaces, Darlene has transformed her love of interiors into a thriving business and beloved local shopping destination in the South Florida community.

Originally from Birmingham, Alabama, Darlene grew up immersed in the warmth and traditions of Southern living. A place where good food is always shared, football is a season of its own, and hospitality is second nature. It was there that she fi rst discovered the joy of gathering loved ones and creating beautiful, comfortable spaces. That early passion continues to guide her today, as she helps others turn their houses into homes filled with warmth, style and intention.

A magna cum laude graduate of BirminghamSouthern College with a degree in accounting, Darlene blends business acumen with creative vision.

Her financial background has laid a solid foundation for Tide & Table’s growth and sustainability while her love of beauty, craftsmanship, and storytelling is

reflected in every curated piece, from livable furniture pieces to seasonal decor, airy linens, and entertaining essentials. Under her leadership, both store locations have become go-to destinations for those seeking to infuse their homes with coastal comfort and meaningful design.

Outside of her business, Darlene is a proud mother of three and often calls on her children for their muscle, tech-savvy insights, or fresh take on design trends. She is deeply inspired by her vibrant coastal surroundings and is committed to giving back to the community that has embraced her. From supporting local artists through in-store Spotlight Saturdays to partnering with area organizations, Darlene is passionate about lifting others up and cultivating connections.

MAIN COURSE

Known for interiors that meld casual elegance with an easyto-live-with sensibility, Isabelle Formigé Miller of European Design Interiors in Stuart curated an elevated mise-en-scène for toast-worthy spreads with family and friends. “The client has refined taste but wanted a lighter feel than her primary home in Maryland,” says Miller, who incorporated the clients’ treasured dining table and chairs, working with a custom

furniture maker to expand the piece with an oval glass top banded in wood trim to accommodate more guests. To better suit the room’s substantial verticality, Miller also had the chair backs extended by five inches and recovered in Schumacher fabric with trim color-matched to the rug in a nod to Florida’s year-round verdancy.

side yard where they planned to add a vegetable garden and bocce court.

The couple chose to rework the property around its cerulean water views. They enlisted Jim Cherry of Palm City-based Cherry Luxury Homes to transform it into a nearly 7,500-square-foot retreat for themselves, their two young sons, and two dogs. Their vision called for an open, easily navigable floor plan whose principal gathering spaces could transition seamlessly to convivial entertaining. Dedicated quarters for their children and a generously proportioned ground-floor primary suite were also essential.

With its prized southern exposure, the reimagined two-story residence would encompass five bedrooms, seven bathrooms, formal living and dining rooms, a family room, wine cellar, mudroom, laundry room, back

“I

nstagram,” says Ashley Martin, founder of Ashley Martin Home, when asked how she first connected with her clients, a husband-and-wife team of Napa Valley vintners.

“The wife found me online but initially decided to work with someone else. When that relationship wasn’t working out, she called me and said, ‘I’ve decided I need to work with you after all.’ It was a full-circle moment.”

Known for creating interiors in soft, moody hues, using woven textiles and natural materials, Martin designs homes that provide both refuge and a sense of stillness. “A well-designed home should allow you to walk in, take a deep breath, and leave as much of the outside world at the door as possible,” she says. “It should be a place where you can simply be.”

That philosophy struck a chord with her clients, who, after falling in love with Jupiter for its “balance of luxury and laid-back living, wonderful schools, and endless sunshine,” purchased a canal-side property in Admirals Cove with a private dock, saltwater pool and spa, and a spacious S EP T E MBER 2 0 2 6

CLOCKWISE FROM LEFT: At the living room bar, a sliding antique-glass panel reveals concealed storage; muted hues lend the primary suite a cocooning quality, while the space opens to the wife’s water-view office; an outdoor cold-plunge pool complements the sauna steps away in the primary bathroom.

kitchen, pantry, elevator, and three-car garage.

Working in close collaboration, Martin and Cherry rebuilt the home, replacing virtually every component while upgrading the HVAC and other core systems. “There was no drywall left by the time demolition was finished,” Martin says.

“It was essentially just the exterior block walls.”

Cherry also constructed an entirely new second-floor wing, with the boys’ bedrooms at one end, their father’s en suite office at the other, and a home gym and guest suite at its center. An attached two-golf-cart garage, an outdoor coldplunge pool, and a sauna in the primary bathroom further enhance the home’s resort-style amenities.

Diving headlong into an endeavor that would stretch to nearly three years, Martin began in the foyer, treating it as a preamble before allowing the home’s narrative to unfold room by room.

White oak flooring paired with hand-applied plaster, which she admits took months to complete, lends texture and dimension in lieu of conventional artwork. The hardworking hardwood reappears in custom cabinetry, beams, and other milled details, creating a visual throughline that continues throughout the first floor and up the sculptural staircase, one of the home’s crowning architectural achievements.

For the palette, Martin chose an organic mix of soft creams, browns, and whites, punctuated by matte black, bronze, and satin brass finishes that lend the interiors a subtly lived-in patina. “You can have a beautiful home in Florida that doesn’t scream the beach,” she quips.

Champagne cobble, another recurring motif deployed to striking effect,

surfaces in the living room, primary bathroom, and outdoor areas, while dolomite and Taj Mahal quartzite tile further connect the interiors. In the kitchen, expansive slabs of soapstone form the waterfall island and integrated sink, creating a bold, monolithic focal point.

Martin balanced newly sourced furnishings with personal possessions that speak to the family’s individual personalities. Each son’s bedroom provides a dedicated place for homework while reflecting his individual interests—one tailored to his love of sports while the other revolves around a cherished collection of stuffed animals. The husband’s office takes a decidedly moodier turn, with dark cabinetry, an expansive executive desk, and a comfortable sitting area overlooking the boats passing below. “It feels like you’re perched in a lighthouse,” she notes.

Downstairs, at the base of the staircase, an intimate seating arrangement serves as a fitting setting for a trio of rare Arabescato marble coffee tables repurposed from the couple’s Napa pad.

Of all the home’s considered spaces, Martin regards the primary bathroom as her most accomplished. “I love it, especially for the layout,” says Martin, who maximized the expansive footprint with a freestanding soaking tub at its center and a glass wall that screens the rain shower behind it. The languorous retreat also encompasses a sauna, with a concealed doorway opening onto an outdoor cold-plunge pool and a pair of copper thermostatic showers.

Although the couple rented a home nearby during construction, frequent travel between Jupiter and Napa prevented them from closely following its progress before the final reveal. Martin says the process unfolded with ease because her clients, the wife in particular, placed complete trust in her instincts.

“She texted me while we were driving home to say how lucky she felt to have found me and that we had worked together,” Martin beams. “That was my biggest takeaway from the whole project because that’s what it’s all about: for a client to really feel at home and know they’ve gotten everything they hoped for.” (ashleymartinhome.com) ❖ SEP T EM B ER 2 0 2 6

Gail Marshall is proof that following your instincts can yield self-empowering dividends. The Boston native began her career in dentistry before pivoting to interior design after successfully transforming spaces for friends and family, including her niece’s bedroom as a holiday gift. The experience prompted her to attend the New England School of Art and Design and later open Gail Marshall Interiors. After relocating to Jupiter with her husband, Tom, in 2010, Marshall reopened her eponymous firm three years later. The design doyenne primarily transforms single-family residences and condominiums, artfully mixing styles and eras while embracing collaboration and encouraging clients to push their creative boundaries. She likens her aesthetic to that of Tom Scheerer, one of her favorite A-list designers, whose work she describes as “polished yet so comfortable and inviting. Just what I aspire to provide.”

Here, she shares an eclectic mix of personal favorites and everyday essentials. (gailmarshallinteriors.com) —K.S.

I

nspired by the sunsets that paint the sky above Jupiter, mixologist Jules Aron set out to bottle the feeling of golden hour. The result is 1000 Sunsets, a vibrant seasonal spritz available through the end of September. “The inspiration for this cocktail came from the vibrant golden hour and unforgettable sunsets at 1000 North,” says Aron. “I wanted to create something refreshing, balanced, and approachable that celebrates both the season and the incredible local ingredients available in Palm Beach County.”

Aron has spent more than two decades championing fresh, natural ingredients and moderation behind the bar. Her latest creation reflects that philosophy, blending mango purée from Red Splendor Farm, local hibiscus syrup, sparkling water, and Palm Beach County’s own Munyon’s Paw-Paw, into a light, refreshing cocktail that lets regional ingredients shine. More than a summer sip, 1000 Sunsets is a toast to place—a cocktail as colorful as the view from the waterfront restaurant where it was born.

TASTE LUNCH BREAK

At Piknik in Palm Beach Gardens, lunch is meant to be packed up and enjoyed outdoors. The charming café and bakery makes it easy to create an alfresco meal with artisan sandwiches, fresh salads, house-made pastries, cheeses, wine, and coffee. Opened in 2021, Piknik is the passion project of husband-and-wife team Christophe and Frances Bozzano. After working as a private chef, Christophe brought his culinary background from his home in Cannes, France to Palm Beach County to create neighborhood café.

The bakery is the heart of the shop. Signature almond croissants filled with housemade almond paste share the display case with éclairs, breakfast breads, and brown butter chocolate chip cookies. At lunchtime, guests can choose from soups, quiches, fresh salads, and sandwiches like the Chicken Provençal (roasted chicken, pesto, goat cheese, and arugula).

To complete the perfect picnic, browse the shelves for imported cheeses like Camembert, Rosette de Lyon, and Délice de Bourgogne, pair them with a bottle of Miraval Rosé, and don’t forget an éclair for dessert. What makes Piknik memorable, though, isn’t just the food. Handwritten notes on lunch boxes and bakery bags reflect the Bozzanos’ simple philosophy: spread a little love through food and kindness, one picnic at a time.

REINVENTIONS

There’s fresh air and ownership at Shrimper’s Grill & Raw Bar. Set along the serene Manatee Pocket waterway in Port Salerno, Shrimper’s has been serving the Treasure Coast for almost four decades. The Old Florida classic features kitschy décor, open-air seating, and boat slips to dock and dine. The laid-back vibes, fish feeders, and Pup Menu make it a family and pet friendly spot to enjoy lunch, dinner, and their new weekend brunch complete with bottomless mimosas and Bloody Mary bar. Regulars will notice Day One staff members with whom they have formed “relationshrimps,” plus second generation servers, and the unofficial wild mascot, a heron named Chowder.

Patron favorites include the crunchy grouper reuben (almost a million sold!), conch chowder, and coconut shrimp while the bartenders keep busy whipping up Piña coladas and coconut Margaritas. Diners on a budget can enjoy the weeknight Happy Hour and daily Sunset Menu which includes a three-course menu finished off with a slice of Key lime pie. Now under MAD Hospitality ownership (alongside sister establishments like New England Fish Market, Kickback Wellington, Calypso Pompano, and Fish Shack Lighthouse Point), the team is focused on honoring the history and longtime allure of Shrimper’s, while freshening up the details and enhancing the experience. Think: new programming like Buck-a-Shuck Oyster Night, new menu items like skillet seafood Newburg au gratin, and weekend features like Key lime coconut french toast. Even the iconic Studebaker boat that has graced the front lawn since the joint’s opening in 1992 is being restored to its former glory, giving another generation the perfect photo opportunity.

Tucked into a cozy corner next to Southern Kitchen on Federal Highway in Lake Park, Steep Dreams Coffee Bar is part coffee shop and part laidback lounge.

Founder Paul Michael Calvani has created a curated menu of coffee drinks and mocktails with creative twists. Customer favorites include the Salted Banana Latte with whipped banana, oat milk, vanilla and cinnamon, topped with espresso, cream, flambéed banana slices and a dash of salt.

Top mocktail choices include the refreshing Matcha Lemon Spritz (recipe below), the sweet and tangy Lychee Rose Soda and the Tiger’s Blood, inspired by Calvani’s favorite snow cone flavor.

“We take a lot of pride in our quality and roast time of our beans while also creating beautiful works of art that come in a glass,” says Calvani. (instagram.com/ steepdreamscoffeebar) MATCHA LEMON SPRITZ

et ready to witness a slice of local history in Stuart this month. House of Hope and Old Havana Cafe will attempt something truly larger than life: building what organizers hope will be the longest Cuban sandwich ever made—a staggering 400 feet long. The family-friendly event will take place September 12 at the L. Cpl. Justin Wilson Memorial Park in Palm City, with sandwich construction beginning at noon. Sandwich builders ages 15 and up are welcomed to register for the event online. Spectators are welcome free of charge to cheer on the effort, enjoy the festivities, and watch as hundreds of feet of crispy Cuban bread, ham, roast pork, Swiss cheese, pickles, and mustard come together in record-breaking fashion.

But the event is about more than setting a record. Proceeds from registrations, sponsorships, and donations will support House of

HONEYBELLE

Hope’s mission to provide food assistance, education, financial aid, workforce development, and other essential services throughout Martin County. After the record attempt, attendees can even purchase a piece of the historic sandwich. Whether you’re a foodie, a history buff, or simply looking for a unique community event, this is one opportunity to take a big bite out of local pride.

AS IT TURNS OUT, LIGHTHOUSE-KEEPING IS ANYTHING BUT LIGHT HOUSEKEEPING

and incandescent bulbs provided a steady, reliable light. At Jupiter Inlet, electricity also brought a radio beacon to the station. Its transmitters broadcast the Morse code letter “J” as another aid to navigation, while a generator provided backup power for both the lighthouse and radio beacon.

The Coast Guard assumed responsibility for the Lighthouse Service in 1939 and eventually phased out lighthouse keepers nationwide. Jupiter’s last lighthouse keeper left in 1987.

Today, all American lighthouses are automated, but the need for stewardship remains. The Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse endures blazing sun, humid air, salt spray, windblown sand, torrential rain, lightning strikes, occasional hurricanes—and tens of thousands of climbers each year.

Since 1994, the nonprofit Loxahatchee River Historical Society (LRHS) has served as the lighthouse’s modern keeper. Although staff no longer live on site or maintain a nightly vigil, they perform routine maintenance, painting, and cleaning. Contractors handle major projects such as painting the tower exterior or roof, while specialists periodically conserve the historic Fresnel lens. A Coast Guard team continues to conduct quarterly inspections.

s long as there have been lighthouses, there has been a need for lighthouse keepers. Jupiter Inlet Light Station was established in 1860. By that time, the Lighthouse Service provided formal instruction manuals, made regular supply deliveries, and many stations had multiple keepers to share the workload. Three keepers served the Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse at a time: a principal (or head keeper) and two assistants. By 1900, keepers were selected based on civil service exams. A keeper’s job was twofold: operations and maintenance.

Every evening, one of the keepers at Jupiter climbed the 105 stairs, lowered a canvas curtain around the Fresnel lens, and lit the five concentric wicks of the oil lamp. Depending on the year, the lamp burned whale oil (spermaceti), lard oil, or kerosene.

The keeper remained at the top, watching for ships and tending the lamp by trimming the wicks as needed. To rotate the lens, a clockwork mechanism connected by a cable to a heavy weight—much like a giant grandfather clock. Every few hours, the keeper would use a hand crank to wind the weight back up.

There was normally a shift change at midnight, with the “graveyard shift” lasting until dawn. At sunrise, the keeper disengaged the rotation system, extinguished the lamp, and raised the canvas curtain to protect the lens and lamp from the sun. The keepers normally rotated duty shifts.

Daylight hours were devoted to maintenance. The Fresnel lens and lantern glass had to be cleaned and moving parts needed to be oiled. In addition, there was brass to polish, buildings to paint, and the general task of keeping everything spotless. Keepers were responsible not only for the lighthouse itself but for the entire station, including the dwellings, auxiliary buildings, and grounds. They also maintained logbooks, while the head keeper corresponded with his superiors. Quarterly inspections ensured the keepers were meeting the Lighthouse Service’s standards.

Lighthouse keeping was in no way a glamorous job, though it was both respected and important. Many lighthouses stood in isolated locations, where keepers contended with boredom and loneliness alongside the demands of the work.

Electricity brought welcome relief in 1928. A motor turned the lens, S E P T E MBER 2 0 2 6
