From the Publisher
When you see the name Palm Beach Illustrated, you might think we are a magazine for only the island of Palm Beach. But our reach spans the county—and beyond. We are the largest circulation title in the Palm Beaches, with a total circulation of 30,000. More than 22,000 copies of Palm Beach Illustrated, or PBI as it is often referred to, are mailed across the county from Boca Raton to Vero Beach 11 times per year. With thousands more on newsstands, you can find our publication everywhere from independent booksellers and luxury hotel rooms—including the Four Seasons Resort Palm Beach and the Boca Raton Resort & Club—to Costco and at more than 40 events a year. But you may not realize that in addition to Palm Beach Illustrated, our busy staff at Palm Beach Media Group produces a host of other titles, both in print and online. You may have seen some of our other publications and not realized they belong to us. If you’ve been to The Breakers, you’ll have noticed the spectacular Traditions magazine. Ever read the magazine at the International Polo Club Palm Beach during an afternoon of polo? That’s also ours. If you know someone who’s getting married, recommend Weddings Illustrated; our statewide bridal magazine, published twice a year, is inspiring eye candy for brides. And when you’re in Naples, turn to our sister publication, Naples Illustrated, to brush up on the luxury life on the west coast of Florida, from Marco Island to Captiva.

Fast Forward
It is hard to believe this month marks two years since the passing of our beloved pub-
lisher and friend, Ron Woods. Though his absence has left an enormous void, his vision is still very much a part of our culture. Since acquiring this company in 1991, Ron had big plans for Palm Beach Illustrated. Under his guidance, all of our magazines became leaders in their respective markets—thanks to an unyielding commitment to lofty production values, captivating and superbly illustrated content, and successful advertising partnerships—and remain firmly on that track today. Another of Ron’s goals was to continue to grow and to invest in the future—both through our products and our people. Just as he did, we cherish the team of creative in-
“
dividuals who make this company what it is, and we enjoy watching them grow, both personally and professionally. As for our products, they’ve never been better or more prolific. We now publish 12 glossy magazines and three editorial websites and continue to explore new opportunities every day. But perhaps Ron would be proudest of our sustained commitment to the communities we serve. We live by Ron’s mantra that giving back goes hand in hand with success—in fact, in many ways
Words to live by Success is not what you have; it is what you give away.
it defines success. Since establishing the Palm Beach Illustrated charitable program two years ago, we have made meaningful contributions to a variety of causes, from child advocacy to health to animal welfare. We see it as a beautiful, everlasting tribute to the man who gave generously yet quietly, and who touched the lives of so many. When looking to the future, it is imperative to bow to the past and learn from those who came before us. As we chart a course for going forward, Ron’s enduring legacy informs our actions and, more importantly, warms our hearts. Some things will never change.

Leafy Green
Fifty years ago, Dodie Thayer began experimenting with a pottery mold she created using lettuce and cabbage leaves. The novice South Florida artisan deemed her ceramic dining essentials lettuce ware and sold the handmade works at a Palm Beach boutique. Soon enough, Thayer’s nature-green creations became entertaining must-haves for every table in town and beyond: Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, the Duchess of Windsor and C.Z. Guest all collected lettuce ware. While Thayer never mass-marketed her pottery, making each existing piece a valuable and unique find, she has now partnered with Tory Burch to release the Dodie Thayer for Tory Burch collection. The line includes ceramic plates, bowls, cups, saucers and more and harkens back to her iconic 1960s Palm Beach table setting. “Our collection celebrates Dodie Thayer’s unique vision and artistry—each piece has been delicately cast into a lettuce-leaf shape, hand-finished and glazed in the perfect shade of green,” Burch says.

Dating Game
Ciao,
Bella South Florida is getting the ultimate dose of Italian luxury this month when Versace opens in the Town Center at Boca Raton. The location is the iconic fashion house’s third boutique in Florida and the first in Palm Beach County— can you say amore? (versace.com) 24
PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED
024_INSIDER_0515.indd 24
It all started with a bad date. “Have I got a story for you,” Alys Daly told her friend Victoria Brewer. After they commiserated and laughed over his bad manners, they had a revelation: Dating is like a game, so why not make it a fun one? The two Palm Beach County residents created Landing Mr. Right, a board game in which players can “date” a variety of stereotypical men—like the Blue Blood, the CEO and the rock star—until they land on the final space: Mr. Right. The game (which Daly and Brewer call “therapy in a box”) instructs players to take turns drawing cards that prompt them to share a personal experience or an opinion about a real-life dating situation; some are serious and others might cause participants to blush, but all are relatable and lead to laughable girl talk. The board pieces are gems (because all women are jewels, of course), and each move brings a player closer to Mr. Right. Like any board game, the object is to win, but Daly and Brewer say Landing Mr. Right is really about the deeper concepts of encouraging female bonding, boosting confidence and reassuring any woman who’s ever had a bad date that she’s not alone. Most of all, they say, it’s a metaphor for romance: If you stay in the dating game long enough, you’ll land Mr. Right. The game sells for $39.95 and is available at the Palm Beach Book Want to land your own Landing Store, Babalu in Palm Beach and Mr. Right board game?

greatest two minutes of sports May 2, and for one prospective competitor the road to the 141st Kentucky Derby begins in Palm Beach. At press time, Danzig Moon, a 3-year-old thoroughbred owned by part-time Palm Beacher John C. Oxley, was ranked 41 for the season. The bay colt wouldn’t be the first Oxley horse in the race; his stallion Monarchos won the 2001 derby with a time of 1:59:97—the second-fastest time ever recorded, only behind Secretariat. Local equestrians will recognize the Oxley name for the family’s pivotal role in bringing polo to South Florida by reconstructing the former Royal Palm Polo Club in Boca Raton in 1977—the venue at which to spectate before Wellington boomed. Oxley himself played polo for 51 years, including with the former Boca Raton team, and served as president of the U.S. Polo Association. He and his late father, John T. Oxley—who played until he was 83—are both in the Polo Hall of Fame. (kentuckyderby.com)

After launching the brand in Boca, ECJ Luxe plans to open stores in Miami and in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Now that it’s mastered the art of designer baubles with three stores, including one on Worth Avenue, family-owned East Coast Jewelry has expanded its brand to offer even more exclusive goods with its ECJ Luxe Collection boutique. The store, which opened in February in Boca Raton’s Mizner Park, houses a variety of high-end must-haves like collectible timepieces, art and antique treasures, exotic supercars, services like private-jet accommodations and yacht excursions and, of course, covetable jewelry. Just think of it as the luxury life in a store. (561-353-5216, ecjluxe.com)
After designing golf courses, forming a children’s health care foundation and launching a line of beverages, local golf great Jack Nicklaus has pursued a venture in another one of his personal passions: ice cream. The legendary golfer has partnered with a division of the Schwan Food Co. to release Jack Nicklaus Ice Cream, pints of his favorite frozen guilty pleasure in seven varieties, including salted caramel toffee, strawberry lemonade, and coffee and donuts. The ice cream is sold at Winn-Dixie locations in select markets, and Nicklaus intends to eventually expand the line to 14 flavors. The Golden Bear’s top pick? Warm spicy butter pecan.

The Family Experience “Where are you headed this winter?” “Cruising the Caribbean!” “Oh! Where are you leaving the kids?” If this conversation sounds familiar, you’re not alone. A cruise was once considered the escape of choice for romantic interludes or days of peace and quiet at sea. Boarding a megaship with children? Not so much. But as bringing children along on holidays becomes the norm and as cruise ships ramp up their family-friendly offerings, that way of thinking is a thing of the past. Family cruising is a specialty of Princess Cruises, with ships sailing out of Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale to multiple Caribbean destinations. The newest of the fleet, the Regal Princess, is a gorgeous vessel with such dramatic details as a soaring atrium with gilded accents and a clear glass walkway jutting beyond the top deck, 128 feet above the ocean. (Kids, by the way, love this.) But the experience—especially where children are concerned—goes beyond the ship itself. During Caribbean sailings, famiThe Chef’s Table

lies can bond over activities that bring the generations together in adventure and fun. Among the offerings: swimming with dolphins, horseback riding on the beach (and through waves!), ziplining across tree tops, 4x4 safari tours and sailing an America’s Cup racing yacht. In St. Thomas, for example, a favorite excursion is underwater scooting, which allows adults and children aged 10 and older the opportunity to explore the deep without diving. Participants don a breathing helmet and board a BOSS (Breathing Observation Submersible Scooter), then descend to the dive site for close encounters of the marine kind. In St. Maarten, a great option for families is the lagoon kayaking adventure, which winds through Simpson Bay Lagoon en route to a secluded beach for swimming. It’s a good way to see the scenery and get some exercise. Sea days can be fun, too. The Princess Pelicans program lets kids aged 3 to 7 drop in and hang out for as long as they’d like. It’s not all movies and video games, either. Little sailors can take part in treasure hunts, create crafts and compete in their very own Olympics while Mom and Dad take in an early show or enjoy a rare dinner for two. While the Regal Princess is a big ship, there are ways to make the experience more per-

sonalized and intimate. Suites come with access to a private concierge lounge, where you can relax away from the crowds—and have the benefit of a dedicated concierge to book excursions, dinner reservations or spa appointments. For dinner, specialty restaurants Crown Grill and Sabatini’s offer a fine-dining experience in spaces that don’t feel cavernous. For foodies, the Chef’s Table is a must. After a galley tour to watch the chefs prepare dinner for about 3,000 people, dinner is served on a special table separated from the rest of the dining room by a light curtain. The Chef’s Table menu is not offered anywhere else on the ship—and neither is the personal interaction with the chef. The dining experience onboard Princess ships has been elevated further by the addition of Chocolate Journeys by Southwest Floridabased chocolatier Norman Love. Aside from savoring the chocolate confections, guests can partake in chocolate cooking demos and chocolate spa treatments. Or, simply sip a chocolate chili margarita. Now that’s sweet.

La Pinta
Voyage of Discovery More than 600 nautical miles west of Ecuador in the Pacific Ocean, the Galapagos Islands remain one of the Earth’s final untouched frontiers. The archipelago of 13 volcanic islands and 17 islets comprises a living museum of evolutionary biology—a land where plants and animals have evolved for centuries without human interference. Whether travelers were inspired by Darwin from high-school textbooks, intrigued by the pages of National Geographic or captivated by the stunning cinematography on Discovery Channel, the Galapagos Islands have topped bucket lists since the advent of leisure travel. And even in today’s search for the next great “it” destination, the Galapagos prevail as a must-see. With human populations contained to a few pockets of select islands and strict rules governing visitation of National Park lands, cruising is the principal method for exploring the Galapagos. A carefully controlled inventory of small ships and yachts is permitted to island-hop the region on preselected routes. Notably, the luxury yacht La Pinta, a premium ship from Ecuador’s superlative tour operator, Metropolitan Touring, travels the eastern, northern and western circuits in three-, four- and seven-night programs, respectively, all of which may be combined for longer cruise experiences. Cruising through Darwin’s diverse island funhouse is at once adventurous and exhilarating. With two island stops daily, each hour is an ambush of the senses. A single morning commingles a hike to the iconic Pinnacle Rock
035-ESCAPE-0515.indd 37
on Bartolomé Island for sensational snorkeling among penguins, sea lions, tropical fish and stingrays followed by an afternoon traversing lava fields on Sullivan Bay with fregate birds overhead and marine iguanas below. Another day yields encounters with land tortoises and extended ambles along picturesque white-sand beaches where the red- and blue-footed boobies rule. Professional naturalists guide visitors step-by-step through their immersion in this natural selection. The “Choose You Own Adventure” experience grows even more bespoke, as travelers choose from panga (dinghy) rides, hikes, underwater adventures, photographic safaris and beach lounging against the Galapagos’ larger-than-life backdrops. The yacht buffers the twice-daily rite of passage with excellent meals, libations and cozy spaces—like a library, a bar and a rooftop hot tub and lounge—idyllic for soaking in the surrounds and swapping stories among fellow jet-set. Twenty-four spacious and brightly decorated cabins provide a welcome respite from the action, each with an elongated, panoramic window maintaining an endless island or ocean view. By no means is La Pinta the ultimate in rest, relaxation or glamour, but nobody comes to the Galapagos with haute couture in tow or late mornings in mind. This is the realization of a true once-in-a-lifetime experience, sprinkled with modern luxuries to make this sojourn a rather comfortable one.

Magical Morocco To decorate the 1920s Mediterranean homes of his local clients, interior designer Sean Rush travels to Morocco in search of Moorish elements like tiles and textiles. Jerry Rabino witz
The cities of Fez and Rabat call to him on a professional and personal level: As a fine artist, he finds creativity around every corner, whether walking through the medina or discovering colorful handmade objects from native vendors to bring back to his atelier on West Palm Beach’s Antique Row.
VIBE: Kind, gentle, exotic, romantic, visually stimulating and inspiring.

BEST WAY TO SPEND A FREE MORNING: Sitting in a mosque or a museum courtyard drawing in the morning sun while watching feral cats weaving in and out of the columns of the loggias.

UNWRITTEN RULE THE LOCALS LIVE BY: Be kind. Moroccans are some of the kindest people I have ever met.
BEST BITE: Any Moroccan tagine, whether fish, chicken or lamb. BEST TIME TO GO: At the end of May, during the Fez Festival of World Sacred Music. From Gregorian chants to Sarah McLachlan, international musicians and scholars perform within the ancient city walls. (fesfestival.com)

SHOPPING TIP: As you walk through the Medina, scan through all the tiny shops. Haggle for as long as you wish, then tell the vendor no and walk out—I guarantee the shop owner will follow you out and offer you half the price. SIGNATURE DRINK: Mint tea.
FAVORITE HOTELS: The Riad Fez, the Hotel la Tour Hassan and Hotel Majorelle. (riadfes. com, latourhassan.com, hotel-majorelle.com) FAVORITE SHOP: Alchimies in Rabat.

ou’ll love the hot-rocks massage. Penetrating digits pummel your lower sacrum while you “ooh” and “ahh” as the world scythes by at 155 mph. You recline at 43.5 hedonistic degrees, your calves supported by levitating foot rests and your head buried in pillows stuffed with feathers surely plucked from the wings of angels. This is life in the cavernous rear compartment of Mercedes-Benz’s exquisite 2016 Mercedes-Maybach S600 uber-luxury limousine. To call it a mere sedan is like saying Celine Dion has a pretty voice. No, this is the closest you’ll get to a biz jet on wheels. Yes, this is a Maybach—the manufacturer that built cars way back when. If you discount the 1930s, when Rolls-Royce-sized Maybach Zeppelins rumbled around Germany, Mercedes assembled Maybach 52s and 62s as recently as 2013. Not that anyone bought them: Between 2003 and 2013, Maybach sold an abysmal 3,200 cars worldwide. Maybe the low sales had something to do with the fact that they looked like stretched Hyundais or that the last-of-the-line 62s stickered for a jaw-

dropping half a million dollars. It just didn’t seem right spending that kind of loot and not having a Rolls-Royce Flying Lady or a Bentley Flying B on the bonnet. But rather than let the brand wither and die, Mercedes has taken a different and far-more businesslike approach: It’s offering value for money. True, you couldn’t exactly describe a car costing $190,275 base (and just less than $200,000 nicely loaded) as a good value. But when a regular Mercedes S65 AMG costs almost $210,000 and a long-wheelbase Range Rover Autobiography Black sells for $200,995, the Mercedes-Maybach appears quite the steal. Such competitive pricing has been made possible by basing this new Mercedes-Maybach on the greasy bits of Mercedes’ successful S-Class lineup. The body is stretched by 8.1 inches, all of which is given to the rear cabin. While there’s no mistaking the Mercedes-Maybach’s origins, Mercedes designers have given the car its own distinctive character. Up front, it’s very much S-Class. But at the rear, there’s more substance, elegance and visual gravitas. Wheels don’t come more distinctive and

dramatic than the 20-inch dished and polished alloys at each corner. Ben-Hur’s chariot didn’t have rims this cool. Powering the 18-foot-long leviathan is Mercedes’ thundering 523-horse twin-turbo V-12. But of course, nothing thunders in this car. As it spears from standstill to 60 mph in five seconds, the only real sensation of speed drivers feel is their bodies being squeezed into the seatback. Road noise? Wind noise? They don’t exist. Mercedes claims this is the world’s quietest production sedan. I wouldn’t argue. This also isn’t a wallowy, over-stuffed Town Caron-steroids. In its transformation to a MercedesMaybach, it hasn’t lost any of its S-Class handling precision or pedigree. Like the S-Class, it comes with the truly magical Magic Body Control adaptive suspension. Using a camera to digitally scan the road ahead, the car can instantly adjust the dampers to soak up lumps and bumps, delivering a practically perfect flat ride. It’s scarily efficient. If anything puzzled me, it was trying to work out who, exactly, would buy this impressive new Mercedes-Maybach. Every time I got behind the wheel, I felt I should be donning a peaked cap and gloves, which makes me think prospective customers are likely wealthy families with a driver on call or companies with chauffeurs on staff. More than 50 percent of the cars produced are earmarked for China, where the wealthy just don’t drive. Of course, owners could always just use the mighty Mercedes-Maybach as a relaxation chamber on their driveway and turn the hot-rocks massager up to max.«

Gabrielle Coniglio The Foodie
The youngest of eight children in Palm Beach’s well-known restaurateur family, 24-year-old Gabrielle Coniglio (never Gabby) practically grew up at E.R. Bradley’s Saloon, Cucina Dell’ Arte and Nick and Johnnie’s. So it only makes sense that after graduating from Loyola University in New Orleans, she found her calling in the kitchen. Despite having no formal training (although she credits her mother, Palm Beach Mayor Gail Coniglio, for inspiring her by cooking for the family), Gabrielle worked as a line cook at Commander’s Palace for a year before returning to Palm Beach in May 2013 and introducing an eatery component to The Bee (formerly Bee Organics), the vegan café run by her brother, Nick. A free spirit, she also cooks privately for a family in Palm Beach and is always looking for her next big adventure. Her role in the family: The jokester. Her first duties at Commander’s Palace: I peeled and deveined shrimp for 12 hours a day. How she cooks: I research, I read tons of recipes for the same thing and then I create something different. What she orders at The Bee: The living tacos: walnut meat on a piece of lettuce with cashew cheese, purple cabbage, mixed beans and salsa—and I have to add the fresh guac. Confession: I used to go over to E.R. Bradley’s during my shift at The Bee and eat one piece of bacon. Her eating habits now: I still eat the same way I did but more in moderation. I just pay more attention to what I put into my body and where it came from. The next dish she wants to master: My mom’s pasta recipe. Her other passion: Traveling. I went to Peru in October, and I think my next trip will be to Bali. Her next adventure: I’m looking at moving to Colorado. Where she sees herself in 10 years: Back here. I couldn’t stay away for too long. Where she shops: My sister Christina’s closet. What she would do if she were invisible for a day: Eat food off other people’s plates. Favorite Coniglio tradition: Sunday dinner. Her deserted island essentials: A friend who could build, at least one pan and Chick-fil-A fries with barbecue sauce. The title of her autobiography: Eat Your Way to Happiness.

CHRIs leavitt
The TV Star Massachusetts-born Chris Leavitt’s first foray into real estate took place in his childhood vacation town of Palm Beach, where he completed a six-week high school internship. Following a stellar career in New York, he relocated to Miami in 2009 when he was offered the exclusive listing on the W South Beach, a move that eventually led to a spot on the Bravo reality TV show Million Dollar Listing Miami. Despite living in Miami, he found himself enjoying his free time in Palm Beach, so Leavitt recently joined Douglas Elliman Real Estate to list The Bristol, the waterfront condo being built in downtown West Palm Beach. As his life in Palm Beach comes full circle, Leavitt is immersing himself into the area, having served as a junior chair at this year’s Palm Beach Heart Ball and, most importantly, spending quality time as his other “offices”—local spas.

“
When you’re selling a lifestyle that you also live in and exude, it’s so easy and fun.”
His life in New York: I was living at the Plaza Hotel. Life was great. I was like the male Eloise. His specialty: Getting along with everyone. Some people have shells when you meet them; they have facades. My specialty is deconstructing those very quickly. Top tip for buyers: Don’t buy because it’s the right investment. Buy it because you love it. Top tip for sellers: Detach yourself from the home. Favorite episode of Million Dollar Listing Miami: Helping my client and friend Orsi. I negotiated not only the sale of her property but helped her out of a really bitter divorce without engaging lawyers. Where he spends happy hour: Sitting outside at BrickTop’s and drinking the prickly pear margarita. His hidden gem in Palm Beach: The Society of the Four Arts. I used to go there as a kid to study and do research papers in the library. On his bucket list: Having a child, starting a family, meeting someone and settling down. His dating prospects: There are offers. There have been bids on the property, but nothing’s been signed. Career goal: Being my own developer of a project. Something few people know about him: People think I’m really hard and diva-ish and nothing bothers me, but I’m actually super sensitive, really emotional and I take everything very seriously. Person who had the biggest impact on his life: Joel Osteen. I read a lot of his books and listen to his tapes, and he’s phenomenal. If he could have dinner with anybody: Warren Buffett. He’s such an inspiration and the epitome of success in the most respectful way: a gentleman and a successful billionaire whom I could really learn from.

ALEXANDER IVES
The Historian If the past informs the present, Alexander Ives is living proof. The third-generation Palm Beacher is the president of the Preservation Foundation of Palm Beach, a fitting role considering his family history: His maternal grandfather, Bernard Cooley, was the president of The Colony Hotel from 1949 to 1959, while his paternal grandfather, Philip Ives, was a well-known residential architect in the Northeast. As the foundation’s first president since 1991, Alexander is dedicated to preserving the cultural identity of his hometown—and his own family legacy.
“
It’s a very lucky thing to come from a place where generations of your family contributed something to that community—and to be able to continue and be part of that in a wide-ranging way.”
What fascinates him about preservation: I’ve always been taken by the way a cultural environment affects a community. I think the places where you work, the streets you walk on, the places you drive in affect your vision of your community, how you treat each other and how you feel about things. His favorite place in Palm Beach: The Phipps Plaza area. Almost every major architect in the town of Palm Beach—Addison Mizner, Maurice Fatio, Marion Sims Wyeth, John Volk, even Howard Major and Belford Shoumate—all have something in that area. Personal preservation moment: The landmarking of the 400 Building condominium. At one point, my grandparents moved in there. I remember spending summers on the roof-deck pool with cousins. An architect he admires: Peter Zumthor. He has this sort of religious cult around him, and I’m probably a member. An avid childhood memory: Riding my bike on the bike trail, going to the Stop-NGo (which is now a bunch of really nice highend townhouses) and getting a comic book or a magazine and a 78-ounce cup of Dr. Pepper. Favorite local bite: The squid-ink orecchiette at Buccan. Can’t stop buying: Books. I have maybe 700. They cover every single wall and work as tables. Guilty pleasure: I happen to be a Dr. Who fanatic. I don’t feel particularly guilty about it. Something few people know about him: Way back when, I used to DJ on the weekends in downtown West Palm. Quality he admires most in a person: Forgiveness. I think that’s a very valuable quality because you limit yourself if you’re not willing to forgive, and you limit your experiences. Favorite book: In Search of Lost Time. That’s the perfect title for someone who works in preservation.

HOLLY WESTON The Yogini
Holly Weston became interested in yoga as a theater student at New York University, but it was a whirlwind romance years later that ultimately inspired her to pursue the discipline as a career. After she met the love of her life during a weekend visit to Palm Beach, he proposed three months later and she left the city to begin a new life in her home town. Six and a half years later, the blissfully happy mom to Wylder, Fox and Hunter (all 5 and younger) is living her dream as a certified yoga instructor, a lululemon ambassador and the owner of Haute Yoga, a heated vinyasa studio with locations in Palm Beach and West Palm Beach. Childhood memory from Palm Beach: We were neighbors with Lilly Pulitzer, and I used to go over there on Sundays and sing for her and all her friends. One time, I sang “New York, New York” for Frank Sinatra over the phone—and I didn’t know who he was. You’ve seen her in: A ton of commercials, like Herbal Essences and Burger King. Her first yoga experience: Before our acting classes at NYU, we had a yoga teacher come in and teach us yoga to relax us and get us ready for the day. What turned her into a yogini: When Jivamukti yoga was first beginning in New York, I used to take the owner’s classes all the time. What she loves about the discipline: It’s given me so much confidence, strength and patience, and it’s made me fearless. How she met her husband, Paolo: I was at Echo with some friends, and he walked by, and I thought he was breathtaking. Family tradition: Every Sunday, we go to the Italian Restaurant at The Breakers. Go-to authors: Ernest Hemingway and F. Scott Fitzgerald. Her biggest challenge: Finding balance among my job, my kids, my husband and my friends. Guilty pleasure: A good red wine and a big bowl of pasta with butter Parmesan and truffles. Someone she’d like to dine with: My grandmother, Hilda Miller. She passed away, and she was just a ray of sunshine. Her deserted island essentials: Wylder, Fox and Hunter. (Sorry, Paolo!) The yoga position that represents her: Handstand. It’s so challenging, and I like that. I love to be able to turn my life upside down or see the world in a different perspective—and to be able to handle it.

SCOTT DIAMENT
The Ideas Man Scott Diament has been a businessman since the age of 12, when he started a bagel-delivery service in his Bronx neighborhood—an enterprise he sold to another teen two years later for $5,000. Shortly after graduating from Florida Atlantic University, he invested in a jewelry store with friend Rob Samuels and Samuels’ father, and today their Provident Jewelry brand is a renowned chain on both coasts of Florida. That venture led to the creation of the Palm Beach Jewelry, Art and Antique Show in 2004, which in turn spurred the Palm Beach Show Group and collectorsnet.com. Now, Diament organizes events from coast to coast—and never stops coming up with his next big idea.
“
I come up with ideas every single day. Probably 999 out of 1,000 ideas I have in a year are not good ideas. But every so often, there’s one good kernel there, and I try to run with it.”
How he knew the first show would be a hit: On opening night, we heard from the police that I-95 was backed up for two miles of people wanting to come to the show. After 40 minutes, we were waving off cars because we had sold out all the parking. Most memorable item he’s acquired: A Nobel Prize medal for literature given to Theodor Mommsen in 1902, the second year they were ever awarded. What he collects: Everything. There is no theme to my collection other than I’ve never sold one piece since I started acquiring when I was 8 years old, and each one spoke to me. Most recent purchase: A pair of cufflinks. They’re skulls, and when you open the mouths, there are fancy yellow diamonds in the eyes. Why he’s been successful: Execution. A good idea executed today is much better than a great idea never executed. Favorite activity: Skydiving. On my birthday a couple years ago, I went skydiving two times in one day. Regularly reads: Science Daily. What he would do if he were invisible for a day: [laughs] Can’t publish that one. On his bucket list: Be invisible for a day? [laughs] I’d like to go into space, maybe visit another planet. Someone he admires: Bill Koch. I think he’s one of the greatest collectors who has ever lived, and I’m just so happy he lives in our community. Advice for his sons, Alexander, 11, and Leo, 6: Be creative and have perseverance. What thrills him about his job: When you see people lined up to get into this thing you’ve built, you’ve in some way changed the world. I may not be able to cure cancer or do other things I would like to do, but I can produce really incredible events that people love to come to.

t’s a common problem: A local wine lover buys a covetable bottle at auction but has no appropriate place to store it. Auction houses and wine experts recommend specific cool temperatures and humidity levels, but South Florida’s warm climate isn’t a naturally conducive environment. That’s where Benjamin Macfarland III introduced a solution. The 34-year-old entrepreneur has founded Vineyard Vault by Elite Stor, a 20,000-square-foot climate- and humidity-controlled storage facility in West Palm Beach with wine wall units available for rent. Vaults range from 5 feet, 5 inches to 10 feet, 30 inches and are built high enough off the ground to be safe from flooding. Wine “needs to be kept at 55 degrees,” he says. “Many of these collectors don’t have the right kind of space at home, so they can bring it to us.” This isn’t the first idea Macfarland has brought to life. A fourth-generation Palm Beacher, he has left his own mark locally with real estate, investment and student housing concepts. Somehow, he sees opportunities where others see impossibilities, says his wife, Christina, 31, a board member of the Community Foundation for Palm Beach and Martin Counties and chair of community investments. “Benjamin is full of ideas, and he has always been motivated to connect with other people who can share his vision and who can work with him to execute those ideas,” she says. To introduce Vineyard Vault to local wine aficionados, the Macfarlands recently hosted an intimate dinner followed by a larger cocktail party inside the facility. The company is housed in the middle bay of a boldly painted building that includes indoor soccer fields, a CrossFit gym and the headquarters of

Guests entered through a lantern-illuminated pathway that led to the climate-controlled space, where an intimate lounge area was arranged near the wine vaults. Two other couples joined the Macfarlands for dinner: Ben’s business partner, Todd C. Marshall, managing partner of DeBartoloMainstreet in Palm Beach Gardens, and his wife, Alicia Marshall, a realtor and equestrian; and Mortimer Curran, a private investment manager, and his wife, Charlotte Curran, a realtor with Brown Harris Stevens. Guests sat at a beautiful harvest and wine

Each place was set with limited-edition Pickard China bird plates, Eisch wine glasses and Buccellati’s Lucrezia silver flatware. Centerpieces consisted of a unique pewter stag by Vagabond House and an Ercuis candelabra. Ruby orchids and burgundy peonies placed in clean-lined vases added just the right color. The meal was catered by Chef Clay Conley, owner of Buccan and Imoto in Palm Beach, with wine pairings by Virginia Philip, master sommelier at The Breakers in Palm Beach

and owner of the Virginia Philip Wine Shop and Academy in downtown West Palm Beach. Dinner began with king crab ceviche with avocado, a coconut carrot emulsion and yucca paired with a white 2013 Sigalas Assyrtiko. Todd was the first to offer compliments about the course— and the evening’s entrepreneurial host. “Ben is not ego driven,” he said. “He brings a youthful balance to whatever he does.” Next came duck confit with celery root, Forelle pear and green lentils paired with a 2012 Prieure de Montezargues Tavel Rose. The following course was a butternut squash lasagnette with sage, leek fondue, smoked onion broth and fontina, enjoyed with a Four Graces Pinot Noir. Finally, Conley presented a 48-hour Wagyu beef shortrib with savory gochujang, gingered spinach and kimchi-styled corn paired with Clos de Gilroy. During the meal, guests shared updates from their personal lives. Christina discussed how she keeps busy with nonprofit work, regular swims at The Breakers pool and, most importantly, loves being a full-time mother to their three children, one of whom she was

pregnant with during the dinner. “I spend time with the girls and am involved with their activity at the recreation center or music class. One is already in school,” she said. “But Ben and I manage to go out two nights a week for nonprofit events or to dinner with family and friends.” Just before Conley served the dessert—sweet potato cheesecake with smoked molasses marshmallow, orange curd and butter pecan ice cream paired with Errazuriz Late Harvest Sauvignon Blanc—75 guests entered the facility dressed in cocktail attire, ready for the party to begin. The dinner group quickly finished the meal, and Ben announced the next course of action: “It’s time to party!” As Ben welcomed the additional guests, wait staff passed beautifully arranged hors d’oeuvres from Conley: mini Maine lobster rolls, beef tenderloin crostini, marinated and grilled chicken satay, tuna tartare, sugarcane skewered shrimp and fresh burrata tomato pesto crostini—along with a variety of wines and mixed drinks. Guests socialized, enjoyed the small bites and, most importantly, admired the wine vaults. “People have limited space in their homes,

and the weather here is not conducive to storing fine wine,” said Jon Jenerette, a wine collector who divides his time between Palm Beach and St. Simons Island, Georgia. “We are seeing Ben’s concept for the first time, and it’s a great idea.” Jessea Julian quipped that the vaults “looked like small apartments,” while Palm Beach State Attorney Dave Aronberg congratulated the Macfarlands on a brilliant concept. “They took an old idea and made it something new and refreshing for the area,” he said. Palm Beach real estate developer Dack Patriarca, joined by his fiancée, Hilary Jordan, commented that the storage units will be an asset to West Palm Beach. “I think they well help validate the city as it grows into a major metropolitan area,” he said. Surrounded by family and friends, the Macfarlands celebrated a lovely evening receiving support and compliments for their entrepreneurial ventures, existing and future. “They are a darling, charming couple who clearly have vision,” said friend Diana Downs. “And the vault concept is so good for Palm Beach.” « palmbeachillustrated.com | may 2015

OUTDOOR ADVENTURE One of only two National Wild and Scenic Rivers in Florida, the Loxahatchee River offers a paddling experience like no other, with alligators, otters, turtles and snakes swimming alongside paddlers. For a day trip, ride the current to Trapper Nelson’s cabin deep in Jonathan Dickinson State Park. Dubbed the Jonathan Dickinson Run, this 8.9-mile paddle can take as long as seven hours. But don’t worry about the return trip: The park’s shuttle service deposits explorers back to their cars. (561-747-5700, loxahatcheeriver.org) For a stand-up paddleboarding adventure, the Jupiter Inlet District has become a SUPer’s mecca. The Intracoastal Waterway and the southern stretches of the Indian River Lagoon are the perfect places to paddle away. (561-746-2223, jupiterinletdistrict.org)

Where to Paddle
Fullerton Island: This 12-acre manmade island, across the Intracoastal Waterway from Burt Reynolds Park, recently had a makeover. The inner lagoon is reserved for passive (non-motorized) vessels, while a picnic pavilion offers a shady respite. Boaters are also welcome, with six newly minted slips for docking near the rocky jetty. Sawfish Bay: This shallow estuary brimming with sea life is nestled between Fullerton Island and Alternate A1A. If fishing is your game, the sea grass beds and mangrove fringe are great spots to drop a line. The Sandbar: At low tide, a large sandbar emerges from the water at the mouth of the Loxahatchee River, just west of the Old Dixie Highway Bridge, attracting hundreds of boaters and paddlers. Large enough to accommodate the party crowd, which tends to congregate on the east end, and families, who anchor at the western portion, the sandbar is the Sunday Funday water destination. Cato’s Bridge: The drawbridge that connects Jupiter Island to the main land is a popular destination—below the surface. During high tide at the western bridge stanchion, hundreds of tropical fish, squid, rays, manatees and more swim about, making for a dynamic snorkeling experience.

Beach it: Blowing Rocks Preserve Located on Jupiter Island, this 73-acre preserve is a prime example of Florida’s natural beach habitat, containing dunes, coastal strand, mangrove swamp and tropical hardwood hammock. The name Blowing Rocks stems from the outcropping of Anastasia limestone lining the shoreline. The largest collection of coquina on shore along the Atlantic, the limestone has been sculpted and carved by thousands of years of crashing waves and howling winds. On rough days, plumes of seawater rocket through carved gaps, chimneys and holes like giant oceanic geysers—some reaching as high as 50 feet—with a thundering rumble. When the storms are not raging, the outcroppings and tidal pools are fun to explore, while the rocky reef below the water’s surface makes for a textured snorkeling adventure— don’t be surprised to see rays, sharks or a turtle or two. For a more informative visit, stop by the Hawley Education Center and learn about Blowing Rocks’ habitat and the animals that call it home. (561-744-6668, nature.org)

From the sculpted shores of Blowing Rocks Preserve (above) to the tranquil boaters’ paradise of the inlet (far right), water is a way of life in Jupiter.
Hike It: Jupiter Ridge Natural Area This area of 270 acres stretches from U.S. 1 to the Intracoastal and encompasses five ecosystems: scrub, scrubby flatwoods, mesic flatwoods, depression marsh and mangrove swamp. More than two miles of hiking trail can be accessed seven days a week, sunrise to sunset. A popular place for wakeboarders, Ski Beach is a great spot to anchor the boat and explore the natural preserve or simply enjoy a picnic. (pbcgov.com)

For the Kids The Busch Wildlife Sanctuary is home to injured, orphaned and rehabilitating animals as well as endangered species like Florida panthers and a number of birds. Explore at your own pace, or stick around for sanctuary tours, feedings and wildlife encounters. (561-575-3399, buschwildlife.org) The heart of Abacoa’s Town Center, Roger Dean Stadium is the spring-training home of the Miami Marlins and the St. Louis Cardinals as well as the Major League squads’ respective Minor League teams: the Jupiter Hammerheads and the Palm Beach Cardinals. Though spring training runs only from the end of February through March, the stadium hosts a Florida State League game nearly every day from April through September 6, giving locals a chance to root for the home team, whoever that might be. (561-630-1828, rogerdeanstadium.com) First lit in 1860, the Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse stands 108 feet tall, offering spectacular panoramic views from the gallery deck—25 miles on a clear day—for those daring enough to climb the 105 spiraling metal stairs. While there, visit the museum and learn about the lighthouse and the sprawling town that grew around it.

For a real treat, head to the center on a Saturday at 2 p.m., when staff members drop krill and fish food into the tanks for eager, swimming mouths. (561-743-7123, loxahatcheeriver.org) One of Palm Beach County’s cultural gems, the Maltz Jupiter Theatre stages award-winning performances from the fall through the spring. During the warmer months, it’s kids’ time: The theater offers summer camps for children ages 4-18 with classes on acting, dancing, singing, magic, improvisation and more, including full productions of such works as Hair Spray and Peter Pan Jr. (561-575-2672, jupiter theatre.org)

Dock and Dine
Water plays a significant role in Jupiter, making it home to spectacular waterside dining. Arrive by boat or car to these spots with a view.
Guanabanas The menu is largely Caribbean-inspired and specializes in “fresh from Florida” ingredients, ensuring the blackened grouper in the tacos was recently caught mere miles from the table. Sip on the A1A Lemonade, made with local spirit Mako Vodka. (561-747-8878, guanabanas.com)
U-Tiki Beach
Happy Hour on the Loop Don’t limit yourself to one location during happy hour. Hop aboard the gas-powered golf cart (you’ll see it prowling the public parking lot off Love Street) and take the Jupiter Inlet loop, a free service (tip your driver) with stops at U-Tiki, Square Grouper, Guanabanas and Jupiter’s only true beach bar, The Sandbar at the Jupiter Beach Resort. Tip: Start the fun at The Sandbar, then work your way north along A1A—there is nothing quite like sipping on a mojito while watching the surf roll in. (561-745-7120, jupiterbeachresort.com/sandbar)
Live Music Looking for live tunes? The Inlet District boasts a few standout spots to catch local talent. l Named for Juno’s legendary surf break/party beach, Double Roads Tavern is a laidback, musical mecca great for a blues, soul and jazz fix. (561-203-7061, double roadstavern.com) l Maxi’s Lineup is an intimate spot to catch stellar beach rock, roots and jam music. The small bar and stage connected to Little Moir’s Food Shack serves a respectable craft beer menu and hosts musical acts six days a week. (561-7413626, littlemoirs.com/maxis-lineup) l The open-air amphitheater at Harbourside Place stages live music Friday through Sunday. Grab a cocktail at Tommy Bahama and enjoy the show.

Situated just west of Jetty’s (and under the same ownership), U-Tiki Beach is a high-end seaside bar that has quickly become one of Jupiter’s hottest spots. The food is an amalgam of Caribbean fare, while the ambiance is one of the best in town: island chic with great cocktails to boot. (561-406-2210)
Square Grouper Tiki Bar Few places imbue that “five o’clock somewhere” vibe more than Square Grouper—it was, after all, the setting of the Alan Jackson/Jimmy Buffett music video. The sandy floored, Caribbean-inspired tiki bar has become a Jupiter staple since it opened as a bait outpost more than 10 years ago. Its prime location on the Jupiter Inlet, just across from the lighthouse, makes for a serene view. Come for sunset, sip a cocktail and enjoy the live music. (561-575-0252, squaregrouper.net) Photo Op: Take a stroll down the dock of Castaways Marina for a selfie with the lighthouse in the background.
Dive Bar Situated in the center of the Jupiter Yacht Club Marina, Dive Bar is steps from the public slips. Docking the boat and grabbing a bite is part of the charm—and the food isn’t half bad, either, especially the raw bar and sushi selections. (561747-4767, divebarrestaurant.com)

Jupiter resident Tiger Woods is getting into the restaurant business, and he’s starting in Jupiter. His concept, The Woods Jupiter: Sports and Dining Club, located in Harbourside Place, will be an upscale sports bar with indoor and outdoor seating, a plethora of televisions and an extensive craft beer, wine and cocktail menu. Jupiter is set to get its own craft brewery this year. As of press time, plans for Civil Society Brewing Co., an outfit of Jupiter-grown friends, is slated to open in Abacoa, across the street from Jumby Bay.

it to Clay Conley to elevate the sandwich to an art form. [continued] Leave The James Beard-nominated chef of Palm Beach’s Buccan
has had a long love affair with the sandwich, regarding it not as fast food but as a portable gourmet meal. Earlier this year, The Sandwich Shop at Buccan was born of this passion. The modest walk-in next door to Conley’s popular American resto is open for take-out only from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and offers a small but creative menu. Everything is made in house; the smoked pastrami alone is a 10-day affair that involves brining beef brisket over several days. And don’t expect an ordinary turkey club: Organic turkey is brined, rubbed with barbecue spice, cold smoked and finished in a sous vide machine before being tucked inside a house-made baguette. The lobster roll, a local favorite, is made with fresh Maine lobster tossed in mayo and celery and served on brioche—well worth breaking a diet. Sides include hand-cut potato chips and craft-bottled beverages such as “The Cure,” cold-brewed coffee with coconut water. Stop in or get it delivered via gocravy.com.

FRENCH Surprise
When brothers Olivier and Edouard Delrieu came to South Florida from Paris, they noticed French restaurants in the area typically fell into two categories: patisserie-type cafés or finedining, white-tablecloth establishments. But as 20-somethings raised in France’s capital city, they knew firsthand that French fare was about more than crepes and coq au vin. “I don’t remember the last time I ate coq au vin,” Edouard laughs. “We wanted to do something in the middle—something that we as young professionals in Paris like: the atmosphere for happy hour, for a date night or just hanging out with some friends.” Their vision came to life in May 2013 when they opened Le Rendez-vous, a hip restaurant in downtown West Palm Beach that’s trendy in food and decor. Faithfully representing Paris’ diverse dining scene, where Edouard once owned a Japanese take-out joint, the menu features dishes like steak tartare, specialty burgers (one is made with foie gras; another is topped with an onion marmalade and melted camembert) and even pad thai. The classics are on there, too, but many with a twist: cassoulet with quail confit; sautéed fish of the day with ratatouille; osso buco with Yorkshire pudding. The space has an urban, lounge-like feel, with couches, armchairs and tables arranged atop a concrete floor. The walls display eclectic artworks by modern French artists who exhibit in the Miami art district Wynwood; an agent in Wellington rotates the pieces so the decor regularly changes. Arrive on a Sunday for a stellar quiche or an omelet at a brunch that’s so unpretentious the staff dresses in pajamas. It’s just one more way for Le Rendez-vous to impart its message: Leave expectations about French cuisine at the door. (561-766-1095, trendyparisianrestaurant.com) —Jennifer Pfaff

Cocktail Corner The Margarita
Cinco de Mayo technically commemorates the Battle of Puebla in 1862, but for most of us the day is an excellent excuse to party—and nothing symbolizes Mexico better than a margarita. Three things are crucial when making a margarita: fresh lime juice, Cointreau (rather than triple sec) and the best tequila you can find. The standard ratio is 7:4:3—50 percent tequila, 29 percent Cointreau and 21 percent lime juice. —M.S.

Chameleon Cocktail Add spice to your life with a splash of vermouth By Mark Spivak Carpano Antica
Italian classics include Cocchi and Punt e Mes, while France’s Noilly Prat served as the prototype for pale and dry vermouth.
82
For some, it’s a mere addition to a favorite cocktail; for others, it’s a stand-alone drink with character and charm. When vermouth was invented towards the end of the seventeenth century, it was an immediate sensation. The creation is generally credited to Antonio Benedetto Carpano, who enhanced the coarse wine of the period with a blend of 30 herbs and spices. The sweetness of Carpano’s potion appealed to many segments of the population (particularly to the ladies) and became a favorite of the Turin royal court. In time, a second style—pale and dry—was introduced in France by Joseph Noilly in the early 1800s. The invention of the cocktail in the late nineteenth century launched vermouth into hyperspace. Virtually every classic drink used it to add balance and serve as a buffer to enhance or contrast the taste of the primary spirit. Artisanal vermouth producers flourished, each with its own distinctive flavor profile. Italy remained the mother ship of vermouth, and the house of Carpano bottled its original creation as Antica Formula ($30): rich, sweet and unctuous without being cloying. Although the company eventually began to manufacture two white versions (Bianco and dry),
red vermouth became its specialty. The most interesting vermouth on the planet might just be Punt e Mes ($22), invented by Carpano in 1870. The name translates to “point and a half”—one point of sweetness and a half-point of bitters. Another top name is Cocchi, founded in 1891, making white Americano ($20) and the distinctive, perfectly balanced Vermouth di Torino ($22). The third producer in the triumvirate is Contratto, also founded in the 1890s, known for red and white versions ($30) as well as Fernet ($35), the famous potable bitter. In France, Noilly’s potion morphed into Noilly Prat ($12), which became the prototype of the pale and dry style. Its production method has basically remained unchanged since the 1850s; the white wine is aged in large oak casks for eight months and then transferred to smaller barrels, which are left outdoors for one year to season the contents. In the Alpine village of Chambéry, Dolin became celebrated for making vermouth unlike any other. It was fresher and drier than its competitors, herbal without being bitter, filled with elegance and finesse. And while technically not vermouth, no discussion of the category would be complete without mentioning

While technically not a vermouth, Lillet is a close relative.
Hammer & Tong’s L’Afrique, an artisan offering out of Oregon.
Joshua Chang
Lillet ($20), a blend of dry white Bordeaux wine and macerated citrus, kicked up with a dose of quinine liqueur. The American craft cocktail boom of the past few decades has reawakened interest in vermouth, so it’s not surprising to see some innovative examples emerging stateside. California’s Andrew Quady, who gained fame making dessert wines, is infusing Orange Muscat grapes grown in the San Joaquin Valley with 17 aromatic herbs for his Vya Sweet and Dry Vermouth ($24). Oregon is the domestic equivalent of eighteenth-century Turin, playing host to an assortment of artisan producers, including: ● Portland-based Patrick Taylor’s Hammer & Tongs, offering the white Sac’Résine and red L’Afrique ($35). ● Imbue Bittersweet Vermouth ($28), with a base of Pinot Gris fortified with Clear Creek brandy. ● Ransom, making dry and sweet (about $35) from small-batch wineries. ● Interrobang, crafting sweet vermouth ($20) from Willamette Valley Pinot Noir.
Still doubt vermouth can be a great drink? Mix some Carpano or Contratto Bianco with tonic, add ice and a sprig of fresh rosemary and your perception is likely to transform. «

Whimsy meets sophistication in this Palm Beach dining room designed by Melissa Z. Guerra of NXG Studio. Guerra began with the McGuire Furniture chairs, which are made from rattan and feature an eye-catching fabric from Quadrille. The modern turquoise take on toile lends a dressy yet lighthearted ambiance to the space, while the coordinating napkins and stemware tie the look together. In lieu of a mirror, Guerra used a lattice screen from Vicente Wolf to create a feeling of openness. Two final elements— an antique chandelier and folksy bird paintings—were purchased on Dixie Highway’s Antique Row in West Palm Beach. North Palm Beach (561-337-8786, nxgstudio.com)

The Great Wall Liven up dull surroundings with these off-the-wall ideas
By Liza Grant Smith Orange Crush Part of de Gournay’s new Floridainspired collection, the orange Portman wall covering (starting at $1,121 per panel) features a Chinoiserie design with gilded silver highlights. de Gournay (212564-9750)

Italian Dressing Local photographer Cheryl Maeder brings the outdoors in at Gardenhouse through her Italian Summer collection of GardenWalls ($25 per square foot), inspired by the ficus growing on the walls of her studio. Gardenhouse, West Palm Beach (561-832-8260, gardenhousedecor.net)
Crocodile Rocks Élitis updated its Big Croco collection ($138 per roll) with shades inspired by handbags. Jeffrey Michaels, Design Center of the Americas, Dania Beach (954-925-1133, jeffreymichaels.com)
Bling It On To spruce up the blank canvas of a midcentury modern whitebox home on Hypoluxo Island, “we wanted to convey moments of glossy bling and pops of color,” says West Palm Beach designer Jacki Mallick of Jacki Mallick Designs. In the master bedroom, her team used Romo fabrics to recover the chair and to create a window treatment. To inject a feeling of surrealism, Mallick incorporated a customized wall covering that sparkles thanks to a layer of clear crystals. “Inspired by a watercolor painting, then deconstructed into a grand damask, this design is both thought provoking and timeless,” she says. “The shimmer on the surface of this particular piece brings an added element of decadence.” Jacki Mallick Designs, West Palm Beach (561-855-4062, jackimallickdesigns.com)
Color Me Happy Capturing the designer’s cheerful aesthetic and fascination with ancient designs, the Dana Gibson collection for Stroheim consists of fabrics and wall coverings that present age-old patterns in a modern way, like the pink and orange Montenegro wallpaper ($150 per double roll).

Hamptons moments
Annie Falk dishes on her latest entertaining book and offers insight on hosting Hamptons events by MARY Murray Annie Falk knows how to throw a party. Her 2012 tome Palm Beach Entertaining: Creating Occasions to Remember (Rizzoli, $45) shares her entertaining experiences as well as tips and recipes from Palm Beach’s top hosts. For her new book, Falk headed north. Hamptons Entertaining: Creating Occasions to Remember (Stewart, Tabori & Chang, $45) will be released May 19 and will offer insight into entertaining the Hamptons way. In addition to a foreword by lauded chef Eric Ripert, Hamptons Entertaining puts readers on the guest lists to parties hosted by illustrious Hamptons residents, including Palm Beachers Kara Ross, Cynthia Sulzberger and Raysa Fanjul, to name a few. Beyond a love of entertaining, Falk wrote for a cause; author proceeds will benefit Peconic Baykeeper, a charity that works to protect and improve Long Island’s aquatic ecosystems. PBI spoke with Falk about the art of summer soirees. (abramsbooks.com)

How does entertaining in the Hamptons differ from Palm Beach? Hamptons entertaining tends to be more casual than Palm Beach entertaining. In the Hamptons, we see more family-style service and buffets, and guests arrive in white jeans, tank tops paired with long skirts, crisp colorful shorts, beachy, tousled hair and sun-kissed cheeks. How can one create a Hamptons-inspired event in Palm Beach? In the Hamptons, the menu is always inspired by the season and what is locally available, so begin by visiting one of Palm Beach’s fantastic green markets and allow your menu to be influenced by locally sourced produce. Sunflowers, blue hydrangeas and candlelit hurricane lamps are all mainstays of Hamptons entertaining; choose your favorite for a classic Hamptons centerpiece, or find inspiration from seashells. What’s your favorite entertaining tip from the book? It’s one of my own: In the early summer, when friends are traveling and transitioning homes, email is the surest way to deliver invitations in a timely manner—and it reduces your carbon footprint. How do you approach centerpieces? Inspired by the mood of the gathering, I may begin with candles, flowers or objects found during travels. The menu prompts the palette of the tablescape, and I always envision the design as a complete tableau rather than one central piece. Every guest at the table should have something beautiful and inspiring to look at. Any tips for memorable Memorial Day menus? I opt for a relaxed menu, serving what I call “plates of simplicity.” Asparagus and peppers are both in season, and I love to serve steamed, crunchy asparagus covered in marinated red and yellow peppers, followed by fresh, local fish over a bed of local greens drizzled with a balsamic reduction. End the meal with a dessert prepared a day or two in advance, served outside by the fire.

How To Invest In Art Strategies to make collecting more than a hobby There’s no denying the sexy allure of art as an investment. In place of the more commonplace stocks and bonds are rare works of art you can showcase for your own enjoyment. But dabbling in art as a hobby is one thing; investing is quite another. As with any investment, buyers have to know what they’re doing, and knowledge can be elusive and complicated. “Art investing is unregulated, opaque and illiquid,” says Jeff Rabin, cofounder of Artvest, an independent art investment advisory firm. “So before even considering an investment in art, the buyer should make sure all liquid needs or potential liquid needs are covered by other assets in the portfolio.” He cites the financial crisis of 2008 and 2009 as an example of how untested buyers can get burned. In the years leading up to the recession, the art market was hot and investors were hungry. Those who leveraged to buy artwork were left holding an investment they had difficulty unloading when the financial collapse swept through their port-

folios and they needed cash quickly. Because of this illiquidity, Rabin counsels investors to buy what they like, because they may be looking at it for quite some time. “The general time frame to hold art is five to 10 years,” he says. Another reason to buy what you love is it is notoriously difficult to predict what areas of the fickle art market will be desirable when you are ready to sell. “Today, the hot segment of the market is post-war and contemporary,” Rabin says. “But next year, the market could be very different, with tastes and availability changing.” Unlike stocks, bonds and other traditional investments, pricing is particularly opaque in art, Rabin says, partly because its unique nature means true comparables may be difficult to find. Auction, dealer or gallery fees can cast more clouds over pricing. Advisers can prove invaluable for collectors who want to take their hobby to the next level. “It’s like any specialty,” Rabin says. “They know the nuances of the market, can
guide the client and save money.” But before committing, Rabin says it’s important to understand how advisers charge for services. They should work only one side of the transaction—either representing the buyer or the seller, but not both— to avoid conflicts of interest. Transaction fees should be transparent. The art advisory business is unregulated, so do your due diligence. Talk to other trusted advisers and collectors for recommendations. Finally, don’t forget the extra fees for art that you wouldn’t pay in a traditional portfolio—including storage, maintenance, appraisals and insurance, Rabin says. Also, the 28 percent capital gains tax on the sale of most artwork is higher than with traditional investments. In the end, certain investors will overcome the challenges for the love of art and the joy of owning something meaningful and beautiful. “The art market is very broad—from antiquity to contemporary—and that makes it exciting and interesting,” Rabin says.«

surf's up Few sports personify South Florida as much as surfing. Surrounded by beautiful beaches and swelling waves, Palm Beach County is the perfect place to learn this fun form of exercise, which is as beneficial for the mind as it is for the body. Surfing is a demanding aerobic workout, with a surfer’s heart rate staying above 120 beats per minute at least 80 percent of the time, according to a New Zealand study. However, it is also an ideal way to commune with nature, center the mind and focus solely on the demands of the ocean. If you’re interested in testing out the waters, turn the page to read a Q&A with local surf instructor Eric Dernick.

May is National Healthy Vision Month, a time to make eye health a priority. The National Eye Institute established the observance in 2003 to encourage Americans to take steps to protect their vision. In addition to getting a dilated eye exam, becoming familiar with your family eye-health history and using protective eyewear, the NEI stresses the importance of a healthy lifestyle, including eating foods that promote eye health. Everyone knows carrots, given their abundance of beta-carotene, are good for your eyes, but many other fruits and vegetables can support eye health as well. Green leafy vegetables, like spinach, kale and collard greens, are rich in the antioxidants lutein and zeaxanthin, which have been shown to decrease the risk of chronic eye diseases like macular degeneration and cataracts. Celery contains these nutrients as well as vitamin A, which is required for proper retina functioning. Finally, the NEI recommends eating fish high in omega-3 fatty acids, such as salmon, tuna and halibut, for their purported link to proper vision development and retinal functioning. (nei.nih.gov)

Eric Dernick, owner of Waves Surf Academy in Boca Raton, has been surfing for 17 years and loves sharing the sport with others. “Surfing provides me with serenity and happiness,” he says. PBI spoke with Dernick about the basics of surfing as well as the physical and mental benefits. (561-843-0481, wavessurfacademy.com) PBI: What makes surfing a good form of exercise? ED: Surfing encompasses a variety of different exercises that are good for both the mind and body. The average surfer is said to burn about 400 calories an hour while surfing. Surfing uses aerobic and anaerobic components and entails paddling, jumping to your feet on the board and using your core to keep yourself stable. Surfing increases weight loss and mental well-being and also improves your balance, strength and flexibility. What areas of the body does surfing engage? Your mind and body. In surfing, your mind has to be quick and focused; you have to be able to read the waves to determine where to be positioned and where to paddle. Surfing is a great cardiovascular exercise [because] your body is constantly moving or using some group of your muscles to hold your body in place while sitting, paddling and standing. The most targeted part of a surfer’s body would be the chest, core, arms and back muscles. What out-of-water exercises can help someone become a better surfer? Aerobic exercises, such as swimming, cycling and jogging, and core exercises, like sit-ups, squats, planks and jump rope. Yoga is also great for surfing, as it makes your body more flexible and well balanced. What do you like to eat before you surf? Fruits, vegetables, good quality fats and proteins. Avocados are an excellent source of potassium and protein, which is a great energy boost for you while you’re surfing. I enjoy having a healthy smoothie or just simply eating a banana or an apple and drinking a large bottle of water. You always want to be hydrated with any form of activity but especially surfing.

Easy Raw:
What do you get when you combine the equipment of soccer with the rules and terrain of golf? FootGolf, of course! As funny as the name sounds, FootGolf is a serious sport governed by the Federation for International FootGolf, made up of more than 20 member countries. In the United States, the American FootGolf League oversees the sport, which is played with a regulation #5 soccer ball on nine- or 18-hole golf courses. For the most part, the rules of FootGolf correspond to those of golf, with the goal being to kick a soccer ball into a large cup in the fewest kicks possible. The holes are shorter than those in golf, and the cups measure 21 inches in diameter. In Palm Beach County, you can play the sport at the Atlantic National Golf Club in Lake Worth, which has a course that complies with AFGL specifications. (561-969-6600, atlanticnationalgolfclub.com)
Dairy Swap
Pasteurized dairy products simply don’t make it onto the menu of a raw and vegan diet, but that doesn’t mean you have to forgo milks and cheeses completely. Traditional dairy ingredients can be replaced with those made from raw nuts. When it comes to milk, almonds reign supreme, but a variety of nuts, including almonds, cashews and walnuts, can be used to create cheese substitutes. And, with the purchase of a nut-milk bag and a cheesecloth, these items are relatively easy to make at home. For a unique and sweet spin on almond milk, try this recipe for coconut-almond milk from the blog Beard + Bonnet. (beardandbonnet.com)
Ingredients: 1 cup raw almonds 1⁄2 cup flaked unsweetened coconut 3 1⁄2 cups filtered water, plus more for soaking 1 can raw coconut cream 1 vanilla bean, scraped or 1 tsp. vanilla extract 1⁄4 tsp. salt 1 to 3 tbsp. maple syrup or honey Method: Place the almonds and coconut flakes in a bowl and cover with water. Allow to soak overnight. In the morning, drain the soaking liquid and rinse the almonds and coconut until the water runs clear. Combine the soaked almonds and coconut with the filtered water in a high-speed blender and blend until smooth, about two to three minutes. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve lined with cheesecloth or a nut-milk bag. Return the strained milk back into the blender with the remaining ingredients and blend until combined. Add salt or sweetener to taste preferences.

SkyBikeWPB, the city’s long-awaited bike-sharing program, will comprise 14 stations and a fleet of more than 150 rentable bikes. “The world’s most sophisticated and progressive cities have embraced bike-share programs, and I am excited to have West Palm Beach join them,” Mayor Jeri Muoio says in a statement. This initial phase focuses on the downtown area, with stations scattered at locations such as the convention center, the Tri-Rail station, CityPlace and the waterfront. Phase two will see SkyBikeWPB expanding to the north and south ends of the city. Yearly memberships with unlimited rides will cost roughly $100, and daily rentals will cost an estimated $12.

Rob Thomson Drops Anchor L AU N C H E S WAT E R F R O N T YAC H T B R O K E R AG E by Gregory T. DuBose
Rob Thomson cites logic and undeniable symbiosis as the principle reasons he and partner Joe Kelly launched Waterfront Yacht Brokerage earlier this year. For good measure, he noted the yacht brokerage’s website will be viewed by more than 100,000 web visitors each month.
Waterfront Properties provides the yacht brokerage a distinct advantage, delivering a large, inherently qualified and vested community of interest. Speaking of what he calls the logical step of launching Waterfront Yacht Brokerage, Rob Thomson comments, “There is a perfect symbiosis between our real estate company and the yacht brokerage.”
Waterfront Yacht Brokerage sells sport fishing boats, motor yachts and powerboats from the world’s leading manufacturers. Headquartered in Jupiter, Florida, the brokerage is focused in Florida and the Bahamas, with resources to serve needs worldwide. Waterfront Yacht Brokerage shares its headquarters with sister company, Waterfront Properties and Club Communities. Waterfront Properties is responsible for more waterfront real estate transactions than any brokerage in the Northern Palm Beaches and Treasure Coast. The clients Thomson encounters daily in the normal course of business are often the people most interested in a boat transaction. “They’ve purchased a new waterfront home and now they want the new boat to put behind it.” Thomson continued, “It’s happened, literally hundreds of times over the years. In another frequent scenario, the owner wishes to sell both a home and a boat.” Thomson’s never liked “turning over” control of this last piece of the lifestyle his company sells. “We know many quality yacht brokers in our area. We’ve used them. Still, there’s a big difference between trusting someone to do the job right and doing it right
ourselves.” With Waterfront Yacht Brokerage, Thomson now controls the two principle transactions in the waterfront lifestyle his company markets and sells so well. But, he’s not doing it by himself. Start with co-founder and partner, Joe Kelly. Kelly is a licensed boat captain, broker and lifetime marine industries member. His is a significant role, delivering Waterfront Yacht Brokerage one
promotion
of its key differentiators. His years as a captain give him a unique perspective and an exceptional ability to pair the right boat with the right owner. Kelly comments, “Success isn’t the sale. Success is the first time the owner truly runs the boat and he or she, or their captain, calls to say the vessel performed beyond expectation.” He continued, “Even within the same name brand and size, different vessels and hull designs have widely varying performance characteristics. These types of details go directly to the client’s enjoyment of the buying and ownership experiences.” Thomson and Kelly tout Waterfront Yacht Brokerage’s advantages for both buyers and sellers. For those purchasing, especially the new boater or the owner moving to a new class of vessel, Waterfront Yacht Brokerage offers a concierge level experience. Kelly comments, “There are things we want to know. What type of boating will you do most? What performance and hull characteristics best suit your needs? Will you need a full, or part time captain? Do you know where to find a competent, knowledgeable professional?” Thomson commented, “We assist only as needed. We don’t force our knowledge on the seasoned boater. We augment their experience only as it makes sense to do so.”
Waterfront Properties’ websites. In addition to Waterfront Properties’ websites, Waterfront Yacht Brokerage’s 20-person internet marketing team ensures clients’ boats are marketed in the right places, delivering the best opportunity to make the sale. With his Waterfront Properties, Thomson has established excellence at every stage of the client engagement as the key ingredient to success. Waterfront Yacht Brokerage follows the same blueprint. “We have decades of experience. We’ve perfected a process that frankly, shatters clients’ expectations of how pleasant these very serious transactions can be.” Rob Thomson continued, “Our clients are demanding. We know it. We cater to it. The little free time they have, they want to spend on the water. We do the work to make it happen.”
For sellers, there is only one question: Where, but Waterfront Yacht Brokerage, can your vessel be viewed by more than 100,000 monthly website visitors? This is precisely the case when your boat is featured on Waterfront Yacht Brokerage’s sister company promotion
