From the Editor
Lawrence Durrell, one of my favorite writers, once observed, “Travel can be one of the most rewarding forms of introspection.” I’ve always subscribed to that way of thinking, which is what has driven my lifelong passion for exploring places that aren’t on everyone’s radar. Traveling off the beaten path isn’t always easy or comfortable, but it yields great rewards in terms of contemplation and self-reliance. When I saw Alex Dreyfoos’ book, A Photographic Odyssey, I knew he was of a similar mindset. His photos of people, landscapes, and animals from every corner of the globe—even the far-flung ones—portray a desire to capture the essence of a moment before it evaporates in an ever-evolving world. Everyone knows Alex as a brilliant inventor and entrepreneur, as well as the driving force behind such Palm Beach County treasures as the Kravis Center, the Cultural Council, and the School of the Arts that bears his name. What is perhaps less known is that his own artistic capacity is fueled by a taste for adventure: At 85, he remains an active diver, pilot, and photographer. (This summer, he even plans to traverse the Northwest Passage—with a Canon EOS 5D Mark IV in hand.) Learn more about Alex’s global experiences, and see the resultant photography, in “World View” on page 44. Touring the Southeast by car may not have the same exotic ring to it, but it can be just as fun, especially for families. There’s a real beauty to traveling together in close quarters and discovering our country through its highways and byways. If that’s on your vacation wish list, check out “Road Trip,” beginning on page 54. Our staff and contributors have driven hundreds of miles to assemble an at-aglance guide to top destinations in Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, and Washington, D.C. Whether you have a predilection for the energy of a city or the mayhem of a rodeo, you’ll find something that interests you in this annual package. Wherever you journey, I hope our travel-themed issue will serve as insight and inspiration.

Insider BY MARY MURRAY
THE FLYING WHITE HOUSE
PALM BEACH COUNTY RESIDENTS SAW A LOT OF AIR FORCE ONE THIS YEAR. BUT WHAT LIES INSIDE THIS REMARKABLE AIRCRAFT? HERE, WE TAKE A LOOK AT ITS FEATURES BY THE NUMBERS.
8,000 Air Force One has a range of 8,000 miles when unrefueled. But, it has the ability to be refueled midair, resulting in an unlimited flight range.
100
Between the plane’s two galleys, it’s capable of feeding up to 100 people at a time. That number actually exceeds the plane’s capacity of 70 passengers and 26 crewmembers.
833,000
4,000
Air Force One measures 4,000 square feet, including three levels and a presidential suite with an office, a bathroom, and a conference room. There’s also an operating room, and a doctor is always onboard.
IT WEIGHS ROUGHLY 833,000 POUNDS WHEN FULLY LOADED.
620 MPH Even at that weight, Air Force One can hit speeds of 620 miles per hour—about 40 mph faster than similar commercial aircrafts.
232 The plane is 232 feet long, 63 feet tall, and has a wingspan of 196 feet.
85
There are 85 phones onboard. Some are beige, denoting a secure connection, while others are white and used for unclassified conversations. Between phone calls, staffers can catch up on the news using one of the plane’s 20 TVs.
747
The term Air Force One literally refers to any Air Force aircraft carrying the president. For the last half-century, however, it has denoted specific planes designed for the sole purpose of transporting the commander in chief. Currently, Air Force One refers to two custom Boeing 747-200B series airplanes.

A&E ETC. In November 2014, the West Palm Beach Downtown Development Authority brought more than 20 cultural organizations in downtown West Palm and Palm Beach together to form the Arts & Entertainment District. Connected by a free trolley, this collection of arts institutions and entertainment venues highlights the area’s vibrant cultural landscape. In May, the DDA took the idea a step further and established a dedicated A&E District nonprofit organization to support and enhance the district’s offerings. DDA officials believe this move will bring more visibility and allow for more external funding to produce arts initiatives, like the popular Canvas Outdoor Museum Show. A&E’s latest project? Dotting downtown with kiosks that dispense short stories. (downtownwpb.com)

The Beguiled Set during the Civil War, The Beguiled revolves around a Southern boarding school for girls, where the headmistress (Nicole Kidman) takes in an injured enemy soldier (Colin Farrell). Based on a 1966 novel and a 1971 film starring Clint Eastwood, this iteration is director Sofia Coppola’s first attempt at a remake, one that seeks to flesh out the female cast (including Kirsten Dunst and Elle Fanning) into fully formed characters. A Ghost Story Fresh off his Academy Award win for Manchester by the Sea, Casey Affleck dons a white sheet to play a recently deceased ghost in a lyrical story of loss and longing from director David Lowery. This indie film cost next to nothing to make and takes place almost entirely in one home in Texas, where Affleck returns in his current specter state to attempt to comfort his widow, played by Rooney Mara. Lost in Paris A French-Canadian romp by Dominique Abel and Fiona Gordon, Lost in Paris follows a spinster librarian as she travels to Paris to find her elderly aunt. The filmmakers, who also star as the two leads, describe the movie as a burlesque comedy with a simple plot that makes way for scene-stealing performances. After opening to international acclaim in 2016, Lost in Paris will be released in the U.S. this summer. Okja This Netflix film from South Korean director Boon Joon-ho can best be described as King Kong for the new millennium. In this adventure movie, a young girl must save Okja, a massive, mystical animal, from being kidnapped and put on display by a powerful business conglomerate. Okja, which stars Tilda Swinton and Jake Gyllenhaal, is streaming on Netflix and will also receive a limited theatrical release.

The athleisure trend is reaching new heights. Following up on Saint Laurent’s roller skate sneakers, creative director Anthony Vaccarello’s stiletto roller skates recall the skating craze of the 1970s and turn sport-inspired fashion on its head. Forget comfort in the Anja Panther sling-back pump roller ($1,995) and Anja Pop Patch pump roller ($1,995)—these skates are all about excessive disco fever style.

SECRETS OF AN EVENT PLANNER Cameron Keating knows nobody throws a pool party like a Palm Beacher. The senior designer at The Special Event Resource and Design Group shares his secrets for pulling off the perfect poolside fête. West Palm Beach (561-686-7757, specialeventresource.com) 1. There’s no reason to spend your inheritance on decor. Introduce small pops of color on your tables by incorporating pineapples or citrus fruits. Or, take Monstera palms from the yard and spray them with orange, yellow, or gold paint. 2. Have fun with food that recalls childhood. Pass frozen daiquiris in hollowed-out pineapples with fun straws, hot dogs and corn dogs, and root beer and orange soda floats and ice cream sandwiches for dessert. Guests of every age will adore you. 3. Nothing replaces live music. If you can’t book Jimmy Buffett, there are many great local bands that will transport guests to paradise for a lot less. Personally, I love a traditional Bahamian steel drum band.

This coastal Colombian city wows with historic sites, eclectic eats, and a dash of Caribbean flair

Enter Cartagena’s Centro district through the clock tower (above) and make a beeline to the Cartagena Cathedral.
ainting a picture of Cartagena requires an expansive palette of electric pastels. A streak of aqua signifies the Caribbean Sea lapping against the well-worn walls of this ancient port city. Various shades of purple and pink form the bougainvillea blooming from the balconies of seventeenth-century homes. An unusual yellow—think mustard with a hint of terracotta— graces monuments, churches, and a smattering of apartment buildings. Single-story shacks emboldened in blue. Friendly vendors selling a rainbow of exotic fruit. Peridot-hued parrots chirping an organic ode to the sunset. There are many contenders in the contest of most colorful Colombian city, but Cartagena outshines them all.

blocks away, sister restaurants Carmen and Moshi operate out of one ultra-chic venue but offer vastly different cuisines. Carmen (carmencartagena.com) brings a contemporary, often whimsical touch to local seafood. Dishes like the Duo de Cangrejo (crab cake paired with crispy crab claws) and La Playa (octopus, shrimp, and white fish ceviche dressed with citrus tiger’s milk and nestled along a bed of edible sand) perplex in concept but delight in flavor. Moshi (moshico. com.co) incorporates the same Colombian products into classic Asian dishes. Its interpretation of the Korean staple bibimbap is last meal–level good. Quality libations are as valued as spectacular seafood here, and nothing beats Colombian coffee. Savor some of the best, and grab a bag or two to take home, at Café San Alberto (cafesanalberto.com), a single-estate producer based in Buenavista, Colombia.

There’s also the ubiquitous limonada de coco, a frozen concoction to counteract Cartagena’s high temps. But to really beat the heat, reach for a homemade popsicle, known as boli. Colombian kids grow up on these things, and vendors stock coolers full of them, in flavors like coconut, tamarind, and even avocado.

For something stronger, venture to El Barón Café & Liquor (elbaron.co) for a rum tasting hosted in Plaza San Pedro Claver. Many Colombian distilleries have cropped up recently, specializing in craft versions of this quintessential Caribbean spirit. Before diving into five samples—some aged for up to 20 years—guests sip on one of El Barón’s creative cocktails as they learn the history, science, and flavors of rum. The setting here is just as intoxicating as the liquor. A coral-stone cathedral chimes the time as the evening sun wanes, casting rays of magenta onto the plaza. It’s a magical scene, buzz or no buzz. The most authentic way to soak in the sights, sounds, and tastes of Cartagena’s city life is by walking the streets with a native.

Then, you’ll cross over into Getsemaní, Old Town’s artistic hub where gorgeous graffiti abounds. Continue to Parque del Centenario and search for furry friends like sloths and pint-sized monkeys. Just beyond the park sits a clock tower that acts as the main entryway into the completely enclosed Centro district. Many attractions are concentrated in this area. Pick up some sweets at el Portal de los Dulces. Peruse pieces by Colombia’s top artists, from Enrique Grau to Miguel Ángel Rojas, at the Museum of Modern Art Cartagena.

The new Hilton at Resorts World Bimini delivers a modern, luxurious outlook on the Bahamas’ westernmost isles
Hilton’s rooftop infinity pool (above) boasts panoramic views of the bay and ocean, while the lazy river pool (below) leads to a lively swim-up bar.
RESORTS WORLD BIMINI
You don’t have to travel far to find that edge-of-the-world feeling. All it takes is one look at Bimini’s ombre turquoise waters to forget Miami’s only 50 miles away—and to understand the rustic simplicity that has long attracted anglers and solitudinarians. The storied history of these quaint isles begins in 1513, when Juan Ponce de León traveled to Bimini in search of the fountain of youth. He never found it, but the legend persists in a thousand-year-old well on South Bimini. The islands later gained recognition as a haven for prohibition-era rumrunners and for its notable residents and visitors. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. spent time on Bimini

while writing his Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech, and Ernest Hemingway’s big game fishing quests here inspired some of his most famous works. Today, the narrative of this sleepy destination is evolving. Hilton’s arrival at Resorts World Bimini (rwbimini.com) brings with it nouveau digs for a fresh crop of young travelers, who revel in the islands’ unhurried, drink-in-yourhand lifestyle and thrilling sea escapades. The easiest way to reach the resort is by seaplane. Departing from Fort Lauderdale and Miami, Tropic Ocean Airways (flytropic. com) lands adjacent to the Hilton on the bay side of North Bimini. Spanning 750 acres, Resorts World Bimini comprises the 323-room hotel, three villages of vacation condos, a casino, two marinas, 11 bars and restaurants, two beaches, and four pools. Rather than an overtly Caribbean aesthetic, the Hilton’s organic-meets-elegant vibe depicts the new Bimini. Yet, reminders of the islands’ original

The rooftop infinity pool and the cabana-dotted Paradise Beach are ideal spots to kick back and detach—or not. The entire resort is Wi-Fi equipped, so post a selfie with your piña colada–filled coconut without fear of international data charges. Continue the relaxation mission at Hilton’s Serenity Spa. Block off a few hours to indulge in the Wanderlust Majestic Meditation Ritual, which begins with a detoxifying rhassoul clay wrap followed by an aromatherapy massage and a foot ritual aimed at grounding the mind and body.

Start off with a sake-infused cocktail before moving on to yellowtail carpaccio topped with serrano peppers, scallions, and a white ponzu sauce, and the Sun of a Beach roll with seared salmon, shrimp, and miso-honey. Pro tip: The resort makes its desserts inhouse, so save room for treats like the layered green tea crêpe topped with Grand Marnier and citrus. For a true taste of Bahamian flavor, venture outside the resort into Bailey Town and Alice Town via golf cart or bike, available for rent at the resort and Bimini Undersea, respectively. Traverse down King’s Highway to end at Edith’s Pizza, an island staple. Order a Bahama Mama and the famous lobster pizza, a deliciously buttery and cheesy creation baked on crispy, sweet Bimini bread. This 7-mile stretch of North Bimini is also brimming with conch, and the salad at Stuart’s is a local favorite. When evening rolls around, set out farther south to the white sands of Radio Beach, the final resting place of the Gallant Lady shipwreck. This secluded spot was made for sunsets—and for Instagram-worthy photos warranting the hashtag #BiminiBliss. «

Bimini is the sport fishing capital of the world, and anglers can reserve fishing charters through the resort. Adventure awaits for snorkelers and divers, too. Bimini Undersea (biminiundersea. net) offers excursions to underwater wonders, including the eerily beautiful, semi-submerged S.S. Sapona shipwreck. Daredevils will inevitably climb to the top of the ship and jump into the blue abyss below, while others can swim through and marvel at the sea creatures that now call the vessel home. Closer to the shores of North Bimini lies Bimini Road, a structure of massive stones lining the ocean floor once believed to be the ruins of the lost continent Atlantis. Paddleboard and glassbottom kayak rentals, available at Bimini Under the Sun, provide another mode for taking in Bimini’s clear waters and lush mangroves. There’s nothing like ice cream to end an afternoon in the sun, so stop by Amicci’s for homemade gelato in flavors like passion fruit and pistachio. It’s located in the resort’s Fisherman’s Village alongside charming storefronts like Splash (shopsplash.com), a posh boutique filled with boho-chic bikinis, breezy dresses, and luxe beach bags.

Heavy Metal The open-top version of the Mercedes-Benz AMG GT coupe is an adrenaline-fueled, 196-mph breath of fresh air By Howard Walker A rocket-powered sports car with an engine that sounds like Krakatoa in full lava-spewing mode requires a convertible version in order to experience the full aural eruption in all its head-banging glory. Mercedes-Benz’s new AMG GT C Roadster is the automotive equivalent of Led Zeppelin. Blip the throttle and you’ll swear you hear “Whole Lotta Love” blasting through tailpipes the size of storm drains. Accelerating from standstill is a rather explosive affair in a car that can hit 60 in a neck-straining 3.7 seconds. The thunder of that big 4.0-liter twin-turbo V-8 ascending past the 4,000-rpm mark will make every part of your body tingle. I love this car. 38

When it hits showrooms this fall, it’ll be available in two guises: the aforementioned GT C Roadster, priced from $157,995, and the marginally more restrained AMG GT Roadster, with a $125,395 sticker. See either in the metal and it looks like the fruit of a wild-night coupling between Darth Vader and Courtney Love. Could a car face be any angrier? There’s history behind this devilish design. The mile-wide grille, with its 15 vertical chrome teeth and platter-sized three-pointed star, was a feature of Mercedes’ iconic 300 SL, which competed in the Mexican Carrera Panamericana race back in the early ’50s. There’s even more drama in the rear, where LED taillights wrap
around divine curves. This is a case of breathtaking form following techno function. Slide behind that wonderfully chunky, suede-covered wheel for a taste of the intimate interior. The AMG sports seats, with their pronounced side bolsters, may be perfect for lapping Sebring, but some might consider them a little too huggy and overly firm for daily driving. I’m really no fan of the instrument layout, either, especially the center console area. That huge quartet of vents looks like it came from a Pep Boys catalog, while the slot-in iPad seems flimsily mounted. Don’t get me started on that shrunk-in-the-wash mini shifter placed way too far back for comfort. Or the complete lack of usable storage space. Or the excessive wind buffeting with the top down. But to drive this car is to be 18 again—and prom night is here. The GT C Roadster delivers performance and grit, with 550 horsepower and 502 pound-foot of torque. That’s significantly more than the 469 horsepower and 465 pound-foot of the regular (never call it base) GT Roadster. The C also comes with more performance-focused technology, like rear-wheel steering, a limited-slip differential, and a “Race” driving mode that injects concentrated Red Bull into every system. It is brutally quick,

especially mid-range when those twin turbos are blowing their hardest and approaching warp speed. As you’d expect of an AMGcreated cruise missile, the GT C Roadster carves curves like a Hot Wheels slot car. The steering feels like an extension of the frontal lobe; you don’t so much turn the wheel as think about it. Add to that the Gorilla Glue grip from the tires that is nothing less than otherworldly. That being said, the regular GT Roadster is an equally magnificent beast, but with the intensity level ratcheted down a notch or two. It feels just as insanely fast but with a slightly smoother ride, a less manic soundtrack, and a mellower persona. It might be my favorite of the two, and I can’t remember the last time I reckoned less expensive was better. «

In this day of reality television and Insta-celebrities, the Coniglio family could easily be an overnight sensation. Frank and Gail’s six children (five daughters and a son) have distinct personalities but share the same beachkissed good looks and outgoing nature destined to build a fan following. Around Palm Beach, the Coniglio name is synonymous with great food and laid-back revelry, having opened some of the county’s most beloved bars and eateries, including E.R.

Nick & Johnnie’s, the Island Bee, and the new 123 Datura. Gail is currently serving her fourth term as mayor of Palm Beach while her kids build the family business and pursue their own passions. Despite their local celebrity status, the Coniglios are not interested in the limelight; in fact, old-school simplicity suits them just fine. They’re content gathering at Frank and Gail’s Palm Beach home every Sunday for dinner, an endless reel of home movies playing in the background and an audience of relatives to laugh with—and at. “We are a lively family,” says Gail, who credits their close bond in part to these meals. “With school and other obligations, I feel it’s important they have fun together and share their weekly adventures.” Cara McClure, whom Gail describes as the peacemaker of the bunch, agrees with her mother. “As you become adults and don’t live in the same house, you actually have to choose to have a relationship with your family,” she says. “It’s such a blessing we all choose to be so close. It’s a testament to how my parents raised us.” For the most part, the Coniglio kids live in and around Palm Beach. Even those who don’t—like fashion designer Christina, who’s in New York—find ways to make an appearance at Sunday dinner. “I am always looped in with Facetime calls so I can participate in whatever celebration is at hand,” she says.
Budding chef and youngest child Gabrielle drives up from Miami every Sunday to work alongside her mom in the kitchen. “My family has always been above and beyond supportive with all of my culinary pursuits,” she says. “I feel very thankful to have the Coniglio nation behind me in every move I make.” Coniglio nation in its current form began in 1982, when Frank and Gail came down from Maryland for a twomonth Christmas vacation—and never left. They opened E.R. Bradley’s and purchased a house on the North End, where the road curves to run alongside the ocean. The kids remember Casa de Coniglio as a center of activity, one that’s only gotten crazier as grandkids—11 so far— have come into the mix. Often, celebrations and Sunday dinners spill out of the home and onto the adjacent beach. “We all love being outside and on the water,” says JanMarie Cook, a mother of four. “There’s really nothing better than having the opportunity to congregate in a place we love with the people we love.” “Nothing keeps us more grounded than my parents’ house and the ocean,” says Nick, Gail and Frank’s only son. “I know it will bring our growing family the same joy and cleansing that it did for our older crew.” Gail touts Nick as a great older brother and her righthand man getting the girls ready for school when they were younger. “He was in charge of hair every morning,”
“
I had two goals as a mom: to make my children understand they’re responsible for making themselves mostly happy and mostly independent. That’s at their doorstep and no one else’s.” —GAIL CONIGLIO she says. “He was very adept as a hairdresser and was my alarm clock going around and telling everyone it was time to get up.” Today, Nick thanks his sisters for giving him the brothers he never had. “All the spouses have brought something awesome to the clan,” he says. “We virtually cannot be without one another,” adds Francesca Fink, who notes that her husband and Cara’s husband meet Nick at 5 a.m. multiple times a week to work out and get in “bro time.” The girls frequently catch up over manicures and pedicures, and no one ever dares schedule a conflict on Sundays. “All we want to do on a Sunday is be with each other,” Francesca says. “If the sun is out and waves are up, we are on the beach playing and surfing with the grandkids, who always keep us laughing. They’re built-in entertainment.” All of the Coniglio grandchildren are around the same age and love to be together for cousin time. “They’ll certainly be a tribe to be reckoned with on this island in the future,” Nick jokes. Seeing this next generation together brings back memories of their own childhood. Of riding down the bike trail, singing the Marine Corps’ hymn as they followed their fearless leaders, Gail and Frank. Of early morning birthday serenades, completed after chores but before school. These vocal traditions continue today, Gabrielle explains, but have evolved into a sixperson attempt to harmonize “Oh, Happy Day” after a few glasses of wine. For all their fun-loving tendencies, the Coniglios have never been known to hog the spotlight, a trait that can be traced back to Gail’s motherly advice. “From a young age, I would tell my children to please not be a ‘do you see me?’ person,” Gail explains. “You don’t need to tell people if you’ve done well in school or on the tennis court or as an athlete or that you can dance or be creative. What you have done will show people who you are.” While this established family tenet might mean a no-go on The Coniglio Show, it has led to many selfless acts of community giving and an entrenched desire to bond with one another. “My family members are my best friends,” says Cara. “I’ve always felt so safe in my family knowing if anything went sideways, I have a tribe to back me up.” «

During his extraordinary life, Alex Dreyfoos has been an inventor, pilot, entrepreneur, philanthropist, and visionary. It all began with his passion for photography. By Daphne Nikolopoulos | Photography by Alexander W. Dreyfoos 44 PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED
O
FROZEN WORLD The ice sheets of the Marjorie Glacier in Glacier Bay National Park, Alaska, tower over Alex Dreyfoos’ yacht, Silver Cloud. Since this photo was taken, in 2002, Dreyfoos has built a new iteration of Silver Cloud, a 134-foot SWATH.
n one of his five trips to India, Alex Dreyfoos was in a rowboat floating on the Ganges, observing the scene on the river banks. It was wildly chaotic: pilgrims bathing in the waters of the holy river, women washing their saris and laying them like ribbons on the steps, cows meandering through the crowds, smoke rising from the funereal pyres on the burning ghats. The place was Varanasi, a northern city sacred to Hindus and visited mostly by intrepid Westerners whose interest in the extremes of the human condition outweighs their distaste for abject poverty and filth. Unfazed by all that, Dreyfoos focused on the throngs and pressed the shutter release. The resulting image captured the kind of beauty that can only be wrought by opposing forces. “In one picture, that’s life,” he says. “Bodies are cremated, babies are born in the river, people are bathing, animals wander around. It’s so chaotic, yet so peaceful.”

DIVIDING LINE In 1988, Dreyfoos flew over Iguazu Falls in a helicopter to capture this image. The falls sits on the border between Brazil and Argentina.
VINTAGE JAMAICA On a trip to Jamaica in the 1950s, Dreyfoos was attracted to the intense tropical hues of Blue Lagoon at Port Antonio (left). In the photo of the girl (above), a juxtaposition of rural poverty and Sunday finery makes a powerful image.
46 PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED
It should come as no surprise that Dreyfoos is attracted to such dichotomies. His own life has been fueled by a thrilling tension between science and the arts. He’d been interested in photography since he was a wee lad (“There are pictures of me with a [Kodak] Brownie Reflex when I was 9 or 10 years old,” he says), a gift he credits to his photographer father, who chronicled the music and theater scene in New York City. But Dreyfoos, now 85 and a resident of West Palm Beach and the Adirondacks, also had a brilliant engineering mind, which led him to Massachusetts Institute of Technology (and later Harvard Business School) and a career as an inventor of electronic equipment for the photographic industry. The company he founded, Photo Electronics Corporation, has been in Palm Beach County since 1969. To this day, Dreyfoos believes his early pursuit of photography made his inventions more precise—and ultimately game-changing. “I noticed I couldn’t concentrate on an image if it wasn’t a nice image,” he says. “I was very critical of it.” Thanks to the MIT student loan program, he served in the U.S. Air Force and was stationed in a photo reconnaissance lab in Germany. On leave, “I used to fill up the trunk with enough jerricans to go all the way to Rome and back,” he says. Many of the photos he took during those
PASSAGE TO INDIA Dreyfoos has been to India five times, capturing such fascinating scenes as the ablutions on the banks of the Ganges in Varanasi (right) and peaceful reflections in Amar Sagar Lake near Jaisalmer (above). “I love the fact that the people have nothing, yet still find love and peace,” he says.
trips became critical points of reference when designing his electronic equipment. Those images, and hundreds of others, appear in A Photographic Odyssey, a photo book spanning seven decades and benefiting the Cultural Council of Palm Beach County, which he founded in 1978. The book is by no means complete—Dreyfoos has amassed 209,000 photos and is actively adding—but it’s a strong representation of his artistic philosophy: to tell a story in a single picture. By doing this, he immortalizes a moment in time before it changes or is altogether effaced. While many photographers specialize in one style or subject matter, Dreyfoos has not placed limits on his work. He has photographed people, animals,

In addition to featuring in the book, his photos regale the lucky recipients on his Christmas card list. For this year’s card, he had to make a radical itinerary change and charter a helicopter.

THE EAGLE HAS LANDED In a rare opportunity for the photographer, American bald eagles descended upon the Silver Cloud during a fueling stop in the Aleutian Islands.

Renate by his side, has visited ports both accessible and remote, welcoming and not. The voyages, including a 44,000-nautical-mile, 19-month circumnavigation of the globe, have yielded extraordinary images. His photo series of bald eagles in the Aleutian Islands is one particularly memorable example. “We were taking the great-circle route from Alaska to Japan and went through Dutch Harbor for a fueling stop,” he says. “The marina attendants threw strips of salmon up on our deck and the eagles, which were still on the endangered species list at the time, came out of nowhere.” Inasmuch as photography is being at the right place at the right time, Dreyfoos has had a world of opportunity, both on the Silver Cloud and on trips with the Young Presidents’ Organization, World Presidents’ Organization, and Chief Executives’ Organization, of which he’s been a member since the 1970s. “I feel very fortunate to be at these various places and to be able to have a camera in my hand,” he says. “A critic would probably say, ‘The reason your photography is great is because you’ve had the opportunity.’ It’s true; I’ve been to more than 100 countries over the years.” With characteristic modesty, he adds: “A blind squirrel finds a few acorns.” In art, of course, the critics’ voice isn’t as loud as the artist’s. “I can’t tell whether people really love my photography or like the other things I’ve done,” he says. “But I love what I do. I fall in love with my pictures. They bring so many memories.” « 50 PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

he proper noun “Asheville” has morphed into an adjective, as in “that’s so Asheville.” It connotes a bohemian temperament, a strong foodie scene, distinctive arts, rugged beauty, and a youthful vibe. George W. Vanderbilt put Asheville, North Carolina, on the map in the late 1800s. Today, it’s regarded as an unpretentious center for culture, dining, music, shopping, brewery hopping, and history. Its infectious energy spreads to newer, up-and-coming neighborhoods like the River Arts District and South Slope. To top all that off (literally) the Blue Ridge Mountains inspire fine craftsmanship, artisanal agriculture, and epic adventure. It’s no wonder Asheville is gaining a reputation as the South’s hippest tourism hub. —Chelle Koster Walton

This fairy tale of visual jewels is very real. A member of the National Trust Historic Hotels of America, the Casa Monica was built in 1888 by Franklin W. Smith. Roughly a century later, in 1999, it received a complete renovation and became a Kessler Collection hotel. Restored to its former glory, the Casa Monica is the place to stay in St. Augustine, both for its glam appeal and central location. This boutique hotel boasts 138 rooms outfitted with Spanish-style furniture, as well as suites configured into multi-floor layouts. Prepare for a day of sightseeing at the nearby Poseidon Spa or relax in a personal cabana at the pool. Later, venture to the Cobalt Lounge for a cocktail and live music before savoring Mediterranean tapas at Costa Brava. 64 PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

Look beyond the tourist trap seafood joints in favor of St. Augustine’s homegrown culinary scene. The Floridian (thefloridianstaug.com) specializes in comfort food with a locavore twist, as seen in dishes like Pork & Waffles with pulled pork atop a gluten-free waffle bathed in a bourbon-brown sugar glaze, seasonal fruit, Florida honey, and homemade ricotta. For a less folksy, more ofthe-moment meal, head over to Ice Plant Bar (iceplantbar. com), which elevates the cocktail experience to an art form, featuring libations made using house-pressed juices, local ingredients, and three kinds of ice. The food is just as impressive. The pickled shrimp toast improves on a local favorite with the addition of a madras curry aioli and jalapeño. Bookend any—or every—day with heavenly baked goods. Maple St. Biscuit Co. (maple streetbiscuits.com) slings up creative biscuit sandwiches, with orders called out based on your favorite TV show instead of your name. Breakfast becomes a decadent dessert at Cousteau’s Waffle & Milkshake Bar (wafflemilk. com), which uses Belgian pearl sugar and house-made ice cream.
Pork & Waffles
Spend the day exploring St. Augustine’s fabulous attractions, like Castillo de San Marcos and the Old Jail, and then cool off with a butter pecan milkshake topped with bourbon whipped cream at Cousteau’s Waffle & Milkshake Bar.
Downtown St. Augustine is supremely walkable. However, some attractions are a mile or more away, and the best way to see them all is via Old Town Trolley Tours (trolley tours.com). A pass allows you to hop on or off any of these orange-and-green streetcars at more than 20 spots; some of the most popular include the Old Jail, designed to resemble a Victorian home; Castillo de San Marcos (nps.gov/casa), constructed in the 1600s and known colloquially as “The Fort;” Ripley’s Believe it or Not! (ripleys.com/staugustine), an infamous house of oddities; and Ponce de Leon’s Fountain of Youth Archaeological Park (fountainofyouthflorida.com), where timeless beauty exists in the form of native flora and a muster of peacocks. When traveling by foot, begin next door to the Casa Monica at the Lightner Museum (lightnermuseum.org). Formerly Flagler’s Alcazar Hotel, the Lightner provides a snapshot of the Gilded Age. Hear the sounds of the early 1900s with a demonstration of antique musical instruments. Stroll down a turn-of-the-century shopping plaza outfitted with glass novelty hats, bohemian jewelry, and vintage kitchen utensils. Be sure to venture upstairs for a glimpse inside the Alcazar’s former Russian bathhouse. Other St. Augustine mainstays are St. George Street, a pedestrians-only commercial thoroughfare, and the St. Augustine Amphitheatre (staugamphitheatre.com). For a panoramic view of it all, climb the 219 steps to the top of the St. Augustine Lighthouse (staugustinelighthouse.com). PALMBEACHILLUSTRATED.COM | JULY/AUGUST 2017

Typically, a place as notorious as The Watergate Hotel (thewatergatehotel.com) would require no introduction. But after an almost 10-year closure and a $200 million renovation, the lodging element of the infamous Nixon-era complex deserves reintroduction as one of today’s hottest hotels.

ourteen years after the founding of our nation in 1776, a fledgling United States planted roots with a permanent capital in Washington D.C., a federal territory separate yet equal from its 13 states. Nearly 250 years—and 37 states—later, the political center of the United States shines also as a beacon of culture, creativity, and cosmopolitan coolness. Most of the excitement lies within a three-mile radius of the Capitol Building, among small enclaves of alphabet-lettered streets and state-named avenues lined with an impressive mash-up of neoclassical, Gothic, Georgian, Victorian, and contemporary architectural styles. Herein, you’ll find the pulse of modern D.C. in the form of Michelin-starred restaurants, design-forward hotels, and the iconic monuments that foster those “proud to be American” moments. —Paul Rubio

EAT D.C.’s foodie movement is happening in real time, and the world is noticing. The city’s inaugural Michelin guide was released in October 2016 and several restaurants have achieved coveted star status. Begin with Kyirisan (kyirisandc.com), a modern French-Asian restaurant owned and helmed by rising chef Tim Ma. Here, an East-meets-West marriage has no culinary boundaries, as seen in such dishes as pan-seared sea scallops over coconut risotto topped with a miniature scoop of basil ice cream and scallions. Book ahead for a more formal dining experience at Kinship (kinshipdc.com), the brainchild of husbandand-wife team Eric Ziebold and Celia Laurent, who’ve trained in the kitchens of French Laundry and Per Se. The contemporary menu is seasonal, but classics like the highly photogenic and mouthwatering Maine lobster French toast are thankfully perennial.

FISH TALES
The fruits of South Florida’s waters—such as red snapper, mahimahi, tuna, and wahoo—deserve special treatment in the kitchen to showcase their savory nature. Now, after a day at sea reeling in big ones, anglers can bring their bounty to PB Catch. The restaurant’s new Catch & Cook service only requires a call ahead for chef Aaron Black to begin preparing a seafood feast. “Depending on what someone brings in, I like to start off the meal with a crudo, ceviche, or even a tuna poke with some avocado and a yuzu ponzu sauce,” says Black, himself an avid fisherman. For the main course, he can cook the fish according to any of the preparations on the menu (like pan seared with crispy potatoes, Castelvetrano olives, peppadew peppers, and a Spanish sherry vinaigrette, or beer battered for a classic fish and chips combo). Guests can also enjoy their catch grilled and paired with sides like basil jasmine rice or caramelized soy brussels sprouts for a more straightforward expression. Black says, “That’s what really fresh fish is all about: simple flavors.” Palm Beach (561-655-5558, pbcatch.com) —Liz Petoniak

Americans who’ve traveled in Europe are familiar with the prix fixe menu, a three- or four-course meal that relies on whatever is fresh and compelling in the market. The choices are usually more restricted than those available à la carte, but it allows the restaurant to carry a smaller food inventory while giving customers a complete dining experience—along with a price break. Many South Florida restaurants offer summer specials, but few embrace the prix fixe with all its benefits. Here are some of the best. —Mark Spivak

Chez L’Épicier: When chef Laurent Godbout and his wife, Véronique Deneault, opened a branch of their Montreal restaurant in Palm Beach, everybody won: The couple traded in the frozen tundra for the tropics, and locals can now enjoy his hearty yet refined French cuisine, including classics such as moules frites and an authentic version of Canadian poutine. Now through the end of October, dinner guests may select from four appetizers, four entrees, and three desserts for $34. (561-508-7030, chezlepicier.com/palmbeach)
Chef’s Table: Chef Adam Fatigate raised the profile of Martin County dining when his catering company morphed into a full-service restaurant in Stuart. His three-course dinner prix fixe ($45) allows guests to choose two savory dishes and one dessert, with wine pairings for an additional $25. It’s an opportunity to enjoy items such as rabbit pappardelle, duck breast, or his brodetto-style market fish with clams, mussels, and shrimp. (772287-5599, chefstablestuart.com)
Café Boulud: Superstar chef Daniel Boulud’s Palm Beach outpost offers a choice of starter, entree, and dessert at lunch ($32) and dinner ($48).

Its three-course menu, offered Sunday through Thursday, is priced at $44. Start with freshly shucked East Coast oysters or a sweet-and-spicy combination of Maine calamari and Florida shrimp. Entrees include Maryland crab cakes and pecan-crusted salmon trout; an extra $10 delivers a stuffed, 1.5-pound Maine lobster. (561-487-1600, buckheadrestaurants.com)
As we know them today, biergartens originated in sixteenth-century Bavaria. Following a decree limiting beer production to the cooler months, breweries began to stockpile barrels of their liquid gold in cellars, planting chestnut trees above for shade and eventually adding gravel and tables. West Palm Beach finally has its own version of these outdoor watering holes with the arrival of The Butcher Shop Beer Garden and Grill. Sister to the Miami Wynwood location, the industrial restaurantretail space north of Quadrille Street fills the neighborhood’s need for a casual hangout, as well as an outpost for high-quality meats. Fatherand-son owners Fred and Igor Niznik, who helm Charlie’s Gourmet Meat Market in Palm Beach Gardens, greet guests with a display of drying salami, impeccable cuts, and juicy burgers.

COCKTAIL CORNER Spicy Palms
Hot days call for long drinks, but the category is tricky: The challenge is finding one that is thirst-quenching and complex. The best warm-weather cocktails have a balance between fruit, spice, and alcohol that both satisfies and stimulates, capping a summer afternoon and preparing the palate for the meal ahead. Clay Conley, chef-owner of Buccan in Palm Beach, is best known for big flavors and dramatic presentations, a style evident in Buccan’s bar program, too. One of his most popular cocktails at the moment is the Spicy Palms, which combines muddled kiwi and jalapeño with Patrón Silver and agave syrup, creating a blend of sweetness, spice, earthiness, and fruit. The drink’s green tint turns heads in the dining room and at the bar. “Customers are always asking about drinks with tequila, and they seem to want something spicy,” says Andrew Dugard, Buccan’s general manager. “It’s a delicious drink and it definitely has eye appeal, as well.” (561-8333450, buccanpalmbeach.com) —M.S.

Wineries in Italy’s Piemonte region, like Bruno Giacosa, specialize in Arneis.
Warm Weather Wines This summer, cool down with more than just Chardonnay BY MARK SPIVAK
As the temperature rises, wine drinkers will be carrying their glasses out to the pool and asking themselves one question: What’s the best way to escape the boredom of Chardonnay? A tsunami of Pinot Grigio is washing over the market, and New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc seems like old news. Fortunately, there’s an assortment of lesser-known whites that are crisp, delightful, and refreshing: ARNEIS: Anyone who has traveled in Italy’s Piemonte region is familiar with the saga of this grape variety. With a name meaning “little rascal” in the Piemontese dialect, Arneis is so difficult to grow that it was abandoned and nearly extinct before a few visionary wineries around the town of Roero revived it in the 1960s. Today, Arneis is available in both oaked and natural versions, with the unoaked wine displaying exotic and floral aromatics, as well as flavors of apricots and ripe pears. The leading producers are Bruno Giacosa, Vietti, and Ceretto, all priced at around $25. Enjoy it as an aperitivo or with a first course of shellfish. GRÜNER VELTLINER: Grown primarily in Austria, the Czech Republic, and the former Yugoslavia, Grüner has been a staple of cuttingedge wine lists in America for several decades. 82
PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED
The most common style is dry and spicy, with hints of white pepper and vegetal notes. Unoaked Grüner can be consumed young and bears a resemblance to Riesling; with barrel aging, the wine can acquire a richness and fatness similar to Chardonnay. Given its vegetal aspects, Grüner is usually touted as a wine that can pair well with difficult foods, such as salad or asparagus. A good entry-level bottle is available from Hirsch at $20, while top wines from producers such as F.X. Pichler can approach $100. RIESLING: Many consumers associate Riesling with sweet wine, but it actually has a wide Located in Portugal, Aveleda makes wingspan of flavor. In most cases the ripeness a tasty and affordable Vinho Verde. level of the grapes will dictate sweetness, but Riesling possesses excellent balancing acidity even in its ripest form. Those from Germany’s Mosel Valley tend to be light and crisp, while the warmer Rhine region yields a style with more texture and amplitude. Rieslings from the Alsace area are richer still, culminating in the great single-vineyard bottlings from ZindHumbrecht and Domaine Weinbach. Textbook examples include the Mosel’s J.J. Prüm (Riesling Kabinett, $30) and Johannishof’s Charta Riesling from the Rheingau ($20). The riper, richer

styles make a good accompaniment to poultry, veal, and pork. ALBARIÑO: Grown in the northwest corner of Spain, on the border with Portugal, Albariño can be traced back to the early twelfth century when it’s generally assumed to have been planted by French monks. The distinctive nose exudes floral notes, aromas of peaches and apricots, and hints of honeysuckle. Although the wine is dry in the mouth, barrel-aged versions acquire complexity and a creamy texture. It’s a perfect match with fish and shellfish. Producers to try

include Martín Códax ($15) and Pazo de Señorans ($20). VINHO VERDE: Cynics might label Vinho Verde from Portugal as Albariño’s “evil twin,” but it could be the ideal hot-weather wine. It’s low in alcohol, slightly effervescent, extremely refreshing, and packed with citrus fruit and mouthwatering acidity. On top of that, stocking a refrigerator with Vinho Verde will cost less than buying a single bottle of Puligny-Montrachet. Widely distributed varieties include Broadbent Selections and Aveleda, both around $10. The very best examples, if you can find them, come from the Minho province in the north of the country, bordering on Spain’s Rias Baixas Albariño region. «

MODEL BEHAVIOR Designer Steven G. of Interiors by Steven G. used a neutral color palette and a refined approach for this model kitchen in Singer Island’s VistaBlue oceanfront residences. “Bronze and cream accents can be found throughout, from the bar stools and a satin brass chandelier to textured linen dining chairs and white accent florals,” Steven G. says. “The kitchen’s white, multi-tiered ceiling features LED cove lighting, bringing ambiance and a hue of warm, neutral color to the room. Along with Interiors by Steven G., developer Third Palm Capital played a pivotal role in the kitchen scheme, selecting Poggenpohl kitchen cabinetry with clean modern lines. The white lacquer upper cabinets, cream quartz countertops, and contrasting walnut base cabinets provided the design team with a clean palette to create a transitional interior that incorporates many of these elements into the overall residence.” Pompano Beach (305-621-5550, interiorsbysteveng.com)

BRAIN POWER
From groundbreaking neuroscience research to a first-of-its-kind exhibit, Palm Beach County is becoming a national hub for understanding the inner workings of the mind. Take a peek at the exciting developments happening in our own backyard.
EXPERIENCE
Visitors to the South Florida
Science Center and Aquarium will soon have a place to geek out over the brain’s intricacies. An entire wing of the museum will be devoted to a new permanent exhibit called “A Journey Through the Human Brain.” This educational and interactive attraction will feature cutting-edge elements such as a Human Brain Virtual Reality Theater, featuring 3D holograms of the brain, and a Brain Bar where visitors can test a mindcontrolled helicopter. The Science Center enlisted FAU’s Brain Institute to help with development, and it expects to break ground on the expansion in early 2018. West Palm Beach (561-832-1988, sfsciencecenter.org)
TREAT
Neurofeedback, a form of therapy that trains the brain to self-correct undesirable patterns, has hit the mainstream as research on neuroplasticity (the brain’s ability to rewire itself) mounts. Locally, Neurocore Brain Performance Centers offer neurofeedback training programs for adults and children dealing with ADHD, anxiety, autism, depression, poor memory, migraines, trouble sleeping, and stress. The Neurocore program looks at the brain to address what’s causing certain symptoms, and then targets them through the brain’s natural abil-

ity to change. Over 30 sessions, clients undergo neurofeedback and heart rate variability training in which they watch a movie with sensors placed on key areas of the head and a heart rate monitor worn around the waist. When the heart rate rises or the brain fires outside of the desired range, the movie begins to shrink and pauses. This encourages clients to use their full lung capacity and conditions the brain to operate within optimal states. Neurocore also coaches clients to make better diet, exercise, and sleep choices for their brain health. This fall, it will launch a Memory Bootcamp program for those looking to stay sharp and be proactive against dementia and Alzheimer’s. While Neurocore is new to South Florida, it’s provided neurofeedback in Michigan for more than 10 years, and 80 percent of clients show a clinically relevant decrease in symptoms. Physiological changes appear to be sustained even two years later, making it a viable drug-free alternative to many brainrelated therapies.

DISCOVER
Since its founding in 2016, Florida
Atlantic University’s Brain Institute has worked to create a community based on first-rate neuroscience research, education, and biotechnology on the university’s MacArthur Campus in Jupiter. “People have told me that [the Brain Institute] feels like the University of California San Diego 30 years ago,” says Dr. Daniel Flynn, vice president for research at FAU. “It has this vibe that it’s going places, and I think they’re exactly right.” Renowned neuroscientist Dr. Randy Blakely leads the charge as the Brain Institute’s inaugural executive director. Utilizing his pull in the field, Blakely has recruited top talent in addition to fostering interdisciplinary relationships within the university and with the Brain Institute’s notable neighbors, such as Jupiter Medical Center, Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience, and Scripps Research Institute. “In terms of neuroscience research, this community is one of the strongest in the country,” says Blakely. “It’s getting to be a magnet.” By focusing on new ways to treat brain disorders, FAU’s labs have already made exciting findings related to autism, migraines, and the correspondence between the brain and the immune system. And, plans for a new 72,000-square-foot research facility on the Jupiter campus are on the horizon, which will further the Brain Institute’s ability to make an impact not just in South Florida but on a national level, too. Says Blakely, “It’s a commitment of mine to figure out how we can translate our discoveries at a very fundamental level into something that will help people.” (561-799-8100, ibrain.fau.edu)

KEY DIFFERENCES BETWEEN FACIAL FILLERS AND IMPLANTS LASTING BUT SAFELY REVERSIBLE EFFECTS After dermal fillers are injected into the cheeks or lips, the effects of them will usually remain visible 6-12 months. However, the time varies according to the patient’s skin, the ability and competence of the aesthetic practitioner/surgeon and the type of filler used. The cost of facial implants may seem slightly higher when compared to that of dermal fillers, it’s because the implants will last for many years instead of just a few months. At the same time they can be safely removed at any time if a

The summer season may be sleepy in South Florida, but fine art is thriving at Rosenbaum Contemporary. In July and August, the Boca Raton gallery will present a pair of exhibitions highlighting works by two contemporary masters. First up is “Summer Reading,” featuring Thomas Hartmann’s book-themed paintings, including With Ladder (Way Out), on display July 6 to August 5. Typically drawn to urban scenes and largescale landscapes, Hartmann sought solace in libraries and amid towering piles of tomes for this series, which tests the tension between order and chaos. Afterward, Rosenbaum shakes things up and goes from literature to rock and roll with “The Kings: English.” British artist Ron English has garnered international acclaim for his pop culture–centric pieces that reimagine classic cartoon characters, branding icons, and American presidents. English tackles Elvis in this exhibition taking place August 10 to September 9. (561-994-9180, rosenbaumcontemporary.com)

Rock Gods Two of the most popular bands of the late ’90s and early aughts are joining forces for one hot summer show. On July 6, Jimmy Eat World and Incubus will perform at the Perfect Vodka Amphitheatre in West Palm Beach. After forming in Arizona in 1994, Jimmy Eat World toured in relative obscurity, perfecting their blend of alternative rock and emotinged indie pop. Their breakthrough hit, “The Middle,” off their 2001 album Bleed American, reached the No. 5 spot on the Billboard Hot 100, catapulting them to stardom and the status of MTV darlings. Concurrently, Incubus was finally getting major radio play, too. Their late-1999 release, Make Yourself, produced memorable singles like “Stellar” and “Drive,” with the latter winning Billboard’s award for modern rock single of the year.

Lori Berg Y PHOTOGRAPH CHELSEA ANNE
Lori Berg inherited her fashion sense and luxury retail know-how from her mother, who opened the first Jean Claude Jitrois couture boutique in the United States. Berg followed in her fashionable footsteps, becoming the president and owner of the Jean Claude Jitrois location in Dallas before continuing her career at Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue, and Henri Bendel. She’s also done her part to foster future generations by teaching courses in store management at the Fashion Institute of Technology. Today, Berg works as the general manager of The Royal Poinciana Plaza, where she’s overseeing the property’s transformation into a must-visit destination for island locals and visitors.
