From the Editor

AWARD-WORTHY

CAPEHART

I love September in Palm Beach. The last whispers of summer hang in the air, reminders that, before we know it, a new social season will be upon us—if it isn’t here already. Judging by the invitations arriving into our inboxes and mailboxes, the party circuit is anything but dormant. And restaurants are teeming with activity as popular summer promotions, including this month’s Flavor Palm Beach, draw to a close.

Let’s be honest: September is the unofficial start of season. To celebrate that notion, we present our annual compendium of all things fabulous: “The PBI Awards.” Every year, we evaluate experiences, places, events, and influencers around the Palm Beaches and anoint a select few with our editors’ awards.

For our readers, this sets the stage for must-haves and must-dos for the coming season.

This highly subjective 15-page guide covers a lot of ground—from the top new hot spot (Hilton West Palm Beach) to the most creative brunch (Rebel House) to the most intriguing theater experiment (Theatre Lab at FAU). Want to see who else made the cut? Turn to page 49.

This month, we also examine the explosion of activity in downtown West Palm Beach. If you’ve driven along Quadrille, Okeechobee, South Dixie, or any street within the Clematis District, you’ve probably noticed cranes and concrete. That’s because the city is in the midst of the biggest, and arguably most exciting, renaissance it has known to date. “City on the Rise,” beginning on page 64, is a comprehensive look at the new developments coming to West Palm Beach, including several by visionary billionaire Jeff Greene, who promises he’s “100 percent invested in this market.” As it all unfolds in the coming months and years, the skyline will certainly be changing for the better—to say nothing of the city’s desirability.

As you enjoy the close of summer, perhaps poolside with a refreshing elixir in hand, contemplate the dynamism of the sun-drenched paradise you call home. From the social scene to the investment outlook, there’s really no place like it.

Insider HAUTE HOBBIES With the advent of a new school year, September is the perfect time to pick up a hobby. This year, challenge yourself by learning an unconventional skill. Glassblowing and glass working, for example, are artistically rewarding pastimes that can yield fabulous results. Since opening in early 2015, the Benzaiten Center for Creative Arts, located in the historic FEC Train Depot building in Lake Worth, has taught the art of glass to more than 800 students. “I think they are pleasantly surprised how much they enjoy it,” says Anita Holmes, the center’s executive director. Benzaiten has many classes for beginners and emerging glass artists, all hosted in its 4,500-square-foot studio. The Intro class lasts an hour and a half, covers the basics, and gives students the chance to create three glass pieces.

For something more rigorous, try the Glass 101 experience, which lasts six to eight weeks and teaches the skills necessary to become a serious practitioner. In the coming months, Benzaiten will also begin offering classes in flameworking and metalworking.

While it will take years of training—not to mention an innate knack for the craft—to create works as stunning as those by Benzaiten’s creative director, Rick Eggert, you’ll at least succeed in flaming the fires of creativity. (561-5087315, benzaitencenter.org)

Dessert Dreamer

Life is sweet for West Palm Beacher Sheila G. Mains, and it’s all because she followed her plan B. After losing her corporate accounting job in the early 1990s, Mains decided to turn lemons into brownies and pursue her lifelong passion, baking, full time.

“I was so devastated that I needed something to lift me out of that,” Mains says. “The very idea of being in control of my own destiny did that for me.”

Mains grew up baking with her mother and grandmother and always associated that hobby with a feeling of comfort. “It seemed like wherever I lived [after] I grew up and moved away, all I needed to do was pull out a sheet and butter it up, and it felt like I was home.”

Armed with a killer brownie recipe, Mains started selling her fudgy treats by the tin and in bulk. Despite landing huge accounts like Walt Disney World, Mains’ big break didn’t come until 2011, when she introduced a snack inspired by crunchy corner pieces and brownie-pan drippings.

“I always enjoyed walking into the bakery in the late afternoon and taking the drippings off the pan,” she says. “I love that crunchy, chocolate flavor you get from the corners and 24

PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

the drippings on the side of the pan.”

When she realized her employees shared her cravings, she started experimenting with a recipe to create the drippings sans brownie. Thus, Brownie Brittle was born.

Today, there are more than 35 million bags of Brownie Brittle on store shelves, a popularity Mains attributes to the products’ uniqueness in the marketplace and its low calorie count; a one-ounce serving has only 120 calories. Mains continues to push the envelope in innovation. This year, Brownie Brittle released an organic line of three flavors. Mains also shares her favorite recipes—including one for her signature brownie—in a new cookbook, Sheila G’s Butter & Chocolate: 101 Creative Sweets and Treats Using Brownie Batter (Kyle Books, $19.95).

Looking back on the empire that brownies built, Mains cites hard work, guidance from industry professionals, and a willingness to make sacrifices as her keys to success. One sacrifice she didn’t make, however, was moving the headquarters out of West Palm Beach. “This is my home,” she says. (browniebrittle.com)

Vibrant Village Riviera Beach’s Marina District is receiving a major facelift. A plan years in the making, the new Riviera Beach Marina Village is still in its infancy but is already bringing big changes to the community.

The public portion of the project, led by the Riviera Beach Community Redevelopment Agency, opened in May and includes a new Marina Event Center and a redesigned Bicentennial Park. The twostory center offers views of the Intracoastal Waterway and will soon house a restaurant, a café, and a display chronicling the town’s history. Following a $4-million renovation, Bicentennial Park now boasts a pavilion, an interactive fountain, and green spaces for concerts and events.

Visitors to Marina Village can also fish and take part in watersports like snorkeling, paddleboarding, and kayaking. These improvements represent the first phase in a large-scale redevelopment strategy for the area. “As it develops further, Riviera Beach Marina Village is going to be the living room of our city—a showcase that will attract a wide range of visitors from Palm Beach County and beyond,” Tony Brown, executive director of the Riviera Beach CRA, said in a statement. Future improvements include a waterfront Restaurant Row and a free-standing Public Market.

VOICES HEARD Beginning on page 64, we take an in-depth look at the changing face of West Palm Beach. And the City wants your feedback on how to make it even better. In collaboration with The Knight Foundation and Gehl Studio, the West Palm Beach Downtown Development Authority has formed the Office of Public Life, a group dedicated to gathering feedback on how visitors and residents use public spaces and what they would like to see done in those areas. The program launched in April with a public event at the West Palm Beach GreenMarket, where patrons were given the opportunity to shout their favorite WPB spots through a giant megaphone. This information helped the office establish a heat map that identifies areas of interest and also provided data on how people spent their time in the downtown area. The DDA will host more OPL events, including resurrecting the giant megaphone, and plans to share its findings via podcast and social media. (561-833-8873, downtownwpb.com)

Zemi Beach House Resort & Spa is Anguilla’s newest luxury property.

West Indian glamour debuted a new address in February on the most sparkling of Anguilla’s 33 ultra-turquoise beaches, Shoal Bay East. Say hello to Zemi Beach House Resort & Spa (zemibeach.com), a collection of lowrise mansions designed by celebrated Caribbean architect Lane Pettigrew and cast over 6 acres and a near quarter-mile of beachfront.

Sixty-three guest rooms seduce with a blend of dark and light woods, an earth-tone palette, and floor-to-ceiling windows that frame Anguilla’s 50 shades of blue. The vistas extend to the beachfront infinity-edge swimming pool and continue at the two seasonal-cuisine waterfront restaurants, which highlight authentic Anguillan flavors and feature local rum on tap.

Zemi’s opening comes on the heels of facelifts at Malliouhana Hotel & Spa (malliouhana. aubergeresorts.com) and Cap Juluca (cap juluca.com), the two Greco-Moorish hotels

HAMILTON PRINCESS & BEACH CLUB

Anguilla

responsible for placing Anguilla on the jet-set map in the mid-1980s. The new Malliouhana Resort & Spa, reimagined by the teams at SB Architects and TAL Studio, now stands as a 46room boutique property of Auberge Resorts Collection pedigree, while Cap Juluca struts a rejuvenated edge with more modern decor and a newly constructed presidential suite equivalent, the 3,290-square-foot Jonquil Suite.

In October, the design-driven Viceroy Anguilla will reopen after a two-month make-

over as the Four Seasons Resort and Private Residences Anguilla (fourseasons.com). The resort will retain its Caribbean-cool vibe and Kelly Wearstler interiors while implementing Four Seasons–caliber service and excellent food and wine offerings. To accommodate Anguilla’s new wave of luxe inventory, Tradewind Aviation (tradewind aviation.com) has started servicing Anguilla directly from Puerto Rico on a fleet of contemporary Pilatus PC-12s.

Bermuda

Following a renovation, Cap Juluca now marries its Greco-Moorish exterior with more modern interiors.

In the late-nineteenth century, Bermuda’s aquamarine coastlines were deemed fit for royalty—a princess to be exact—when Queen Victoria’s daughter, Princess Louise, fell in love with the natural beauty of this petite British colony.

The Princess Hotel, named in Louise’s honor, opened in 1885 and attracted the who’s who of the early-twentieth century global elite.

Flash-forward 131 years, and this

Clockwise from bottom left: Interior of Le Guanahani’s Admiral Suite; interior and exterior of the Eden Rock's Christopher Columbus Suite; bites from the St. Barths Gourmet Festival.

history-steeped hotel, rechristened the Hamilton Princess & Beach Club (thehamilton princess.com), is penning a new chapter after a $100-milllion refresh.

Though the traditional, salmon-tinted exteriors of the 400-key resort remain, the interior is a different story. The hotel’s new modern art collection comprises 60 museum-quality works strewn across the property, starting with the gallery-like lobby, adorned with art

by Tom Wesselmann and Andy Warhol. While all accommodations have been renovated, 43 have been converted into larger guest suites at the hands of Botelho Wood Architects. Of the three new restaurants, don’t miss Marcus’, Bermuda’s first and only celebrity-chef restaurant. The sleek eatery showcases Bermudian cuisine as interpreted by James Beard Award– winning chef Marcus Samuelsson, with signature dishes like trout roe tacos and fish chowder croquettes dotting the menu. A new Exhale Spa offers the wellness brand’s flagship treatments and fitness classes and flanks an adults-only spa pool, a quieter alternative to the resort’s main harbor-side infinity pool.

In anticipation of hosting the thirty-fifth America’s Cup next summer, Hamilton Princess & Beach Club has also supersized its marina to

become the island’s first and only fullservice marina, accommodating up to 60 water toys. But it needn’t be race time to enjoy an afternoon on a super yacht, catamaran, or fishing boat.

Many of these glossy ships work with the resort for pursuits in the island’s cove-laced, pink-sanded water world.

St. Barths

We can never get enough of St. Barths— our favorite St. Tropez–inspired sliver of the French West Indies—so we’ve rounded up a few fabulous and timely excuses for your next dose of European glamour, five-star pampering, and incredible gastronomy.

This year’s top pretext: Visit the island’s newest and most coveted resort product, the Christopher Columbus Suite at the Eden Rock - St. Barths (edenrockhotel.com). This 2,200-square-foot sanctuary, named after the island’s founder, is a glass-encased jewel box that sits atop the hotel promontory, strewn with Italian furnishings, pop art, and views of St. Jean Bay. Island regulars will recognize the space as the former lobby, which was moved beachside to accommodate this architectural masterpiece.

Over on the island’s easterly reaches, Le Guanahani (leguanahani.com/en) is also paying homage to Columbus’ voyage to the New World with the nautical-themed Admiral Suite, the final touch of the famed resort’s $40-million refurbishment and expansion. The suite perches Grand Cul-de-Sac bay and features wrap-

around balconies and direct beach access.

Foodies now can add another annual pilgrimage to their calendar: the St. Barths Gourmet Festival (stbarthgourmetfestival.com). In just three years, this wine and food festival has grown into a spectacular happening with internationally acclaimed chefs taking over the island’s most popular restaurants at ticketed events boasting French-Creole fusions and wine pairings. The 2016 festival, scheduled for November 3-6, will be headlined by celebrity Parisian chef Christian Le Squer, who, earlier this year, received three Michelin stars for his Le Cinq restaurant at the Four Seasons Hotel George V in Paris. « PALMBEACHILLUSTRATED.COM | SEPTEMBER 2016

A Faena Balance

Faena’s thoughtful urbanism is transforming Miami’s Mid-Beach into a hub for culture

By Daphne Nikolopoulos

Puerto Madero, the once-downtrodden docks district that has become one of Buenos Aires’ hottest neighborhoods, put Alan Faena on the new-urbanism map. That success story led to others around Argentina, but Faena’s most ambitious project to date is blossoming like a perfect red rose in Miami Beach.

The Faena District, composed of a luxury hotel, residences, a cultural forum and a shopping “bazaar” designed

by Pritzker Prize–winning architect Rem Koolhaas, and a collaborative and experimental arts program, is literally transforming Mid-Beach.

Though hotels and residences go up almost daily in Miami, a project of this scope—and careful detail—is groundbreaking in the area between 32nd and 36th streets. It’s a story that goes beyond luxury to embrace authentic arts experiences and cultural inclusiveness.

While portions of the district are still being phased in, the hotel has opened to raves. Here are our top 3 reasons to check in now:

The Tierra Santa Healing House is a spa, but its healing rituals put it on a whole new level. Inspired by the shamanic traditions of South America, treatments like Tree of Life Vibrations and The Sacred Warrior offer deep relaxation and mind-body alignment.

A must: Palo Santo & Sound Bowls, which combines Palo Santo body oil with seven sound bowls selected by a shaman. The bowls’ vibration and sound awaken and tune the body’s natural frequencies. (faena.com/ miami-beach)

The Faena hotel, whose visual narrative was conceived by filmmaker Baz Luhrmann and costume designer Catherine Martin, is a true work of art. Spaces make subtle nods to Art Deco but the details are all twenty-first century. Red velvet, lush embroidery, and tiger prints don’t exactly say “coastal cool,” but they do coalesce into a sumptuous amalgam. Art is a major part of the aesthetic. Works by Damien Hirst and Jeff Koons get a lot of attention, but the most impressive is arguably Juan Gatti’s series of monumental murals in the lobby.

Clockwise from top left: Luxe textures and a bold red palette define the rooms and suites (also right); Gnosis, one of eight lobby murals by Juan Gatti; Gone but not Forgotten by Damien Hirst commands attention in the outdoor space; Faena Forum promises to redefine Miami’s cultural scene.

The cultural heart of Faena District, Faena Forum opens this November. Located across the street from the hotel, the Forum is the centerpiece of Faena’s vision for Miami Beach’s cultural renaissance. The Forum will feature an intriguing processional with artists and thought leaders from around the world.

One of the first performances, Conga Irreversible by Cuban art collective Los Carpinteros, will feature choreography to conga music played in reverse. (faenaart.org)

High Road

Vision of the Future Come 2036, your Rolls-Royce will be selfdriving, electric powered, and will redefine the luxury car experience By Howard Walker

“Home, James,” has long been the oh-so-British greeting to the suited-and-booted chauffeur when an owner slumps into the backseat of his or her Rolls-Royce. It is probably quite confusing if the driver is actually named Derek.

Fast-forward 20 years to 2036 and, according to Rolls-Royce’s newly revealed vision of luxury mobility, its super-wealthy clientele will more likely be uttering the command, “Home, Eleanor.” And it won’t be to a living, breathing chauffeur, but to what the luxury carmaker is calling an “ethereal concierge,” who will rest inside a glass screen where James once sat.

So why Eleanor? A nod to Mrs. Roosevelt, perhaps? Or Nicholas Cage’s throaty Mustang in Gone in 60 Seconds? No, this is Eleanor Thornton, who back in 1911 posed for sculptor Charles Sykes to become the Spirit of Ecstasy, aka the famous Rolls-Royce Flying Lady hood ornament.

Think of Eleanor as some overachieving version of Apple’s Siri personal assistant. She’ll be your go-to gal to help you control one of the most visionary automotive concepts ever created, a car Rolls-Royce simply calls the 103EX. But there’s nothing simple about this groundbreaking, quite magnificent car of the future, which fully embraces the likelihood that, come 2036, luxury automobiles will be driving themselves and pow44 PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

ered not by some honking V-12 but by electricity.

And contrary to the popular image of tomorrow’s luxury cars being dull, anonymous bubbles driving along in bunched-up convoys, RollsRoyce believes they can be grand, stately, and more decadent than ever.

That’s why this 103EX is huge. Stretching close to 20 feet long and 5 feet tall, it’s roughly the same size as today’s mighty Rolls Phantom.

The hood alone measures more than 8 feet, which is pretty extravagant considering the V-12 that would normally fill that space has been jettisoned in favor of a pair of electric motors. Where you’d expect the V-12 to sit, there’s a slide-out compartment for the owner’s luggage instead.

Perhaps the most revolutionary aspect of this 103EX concept is the passenger compartment, which Rolls-Royce calls the Grand Sanctuary. Inside there’s space for two, because if there’s no need for a chauffeur then there’s no need for front seats, or even a steering wheel.

What you have instead is a huge sofa with enough legroom to accommodate the leggiest NBA all-star. A huge, wall-to-wall glass screen takes the place of the front cabin and offers access to Eleanor, who is waiting to accommodate your every request.

Tell her where you need to go and she’ll take you. Tell her what time you expect to finish dinner and she’ll have the car ready outside the restaurant. And, being the super-organized digital assistant that

&

follow howard walker’s the wheel world blog on palmbeachillustrated.com

she is, she’ll remind you of appointments, set up reservations, adjust the temperature, select the music, or play any movie you fancy. Or, if you prefer, Eleanor will simply shut up and let you snooze while the car drives itself serenely and autonomously to your destination.

Being a Rolls-Royce, the cabin is a masterpiece of bespoke elegance. Hand-twisted silk hugs that two-seater sofa, deep-pile ivory wool covers the floor, and dark Macassar wood paneling wraps around the cabin.

Yes, those trademark rear-hinged “suicide” doors are retained, but, in an effort to make getting in and out easier, the glass roof extends

open like a clamshell, allowing you to stand up and step out.

And just in case anyone milling around is in doubt of the importance of those arriving, lasers project a virtual red carpet of light as the doors open.

The design team at Rolls-Royce, run by the talented Giles Taylor, stress that this 103EX is just one possible vision of the future. Advanced manufacturing technologies like 3D printing will allow customers to be more closely involved in the design process, dictating the size and even the shape of the car.

Just think of all the fun you could have deciding who should be the voice of Eleanor. In my opinion, only the Queen of England would do. «

Sure, it’s a convention hotel. But the new Hilton West Palm Beach secretly longs to be a hub for community gatherings—and is doing a great job of it. Side by side with business-attired professionals, you’re likely to see yogis practicing on the lawn, a local band belting out tunes, and hipsters sipping craft cocktails by the pool. The “urban oasis” vibe begins with chic modern decor (think chrome, glass, and tactile textures) that incorporates work by local artists, including the underwater photography of Chris Leidy. If you haven’t had the pleasure, try yoga and brunch, offered every Saturday through September, or Summer Fridays with a poolside cookout, speakeasy-style cocktails, and live entertainment.

LIBBY VISION

Oceana Coffee founder Scott Angelo began brewing to quench his own thirst for quality coffee.

Something special is brewing in Tequesta. Founded in 2009 by Scott and Amy Angelo, Oceana Coffee has become a mainstay of the Palm Beach County food scene with such acclaimed eateries as Coolinary Café, Little Moir’s, and The Cooper serving up its flavorful java on a daily basis. Local breweries like Twisted Trunk and Civil Society even transform Oceana Coffee into delectable craft beers. Regardless of where the joe ends up, each cup begins at Oceana’s roasting house and café in Tequesta. But before they even start roasting, the Angelos take pains to research their beans, looking at such factors as the altitude, weather, and soil conditions in which they’re grown.

Thankfully, locals get to enjoy the results at the aforementioned outposts and at Oceana’s coffee lounge and wine bar, also located in Tequesta. Here, visitors can sip cold-brewed coffee on tap, purchase beans to go, or enjoy wine and light bites every Friday and Saturday evening.

MORIKAMI MUSEUM AND JAPANESE GARDENS

THE PBI AWARDS

It is approximately 7,400 miles from Delray Beach to Tokyo. But, thanks to the Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens, you don’t have to endure a 16-hour plane ride to experience the Land of the Rising Sun. Built on land donated by George Sukeji Morikami—a settler from the Yamato agricultural community—the Morikami is an ever-evolving ode to Japan’s interminable beauty. The gardens, named Roji-en or Garden of the Drops of Dew, offer an escape from daily life, one that allows visitors to step back in time to eras of peaceful ponderings and inward reflections. Beyond the flora, the Morikami excels at bringing Japanese culture past and present to life. Festivals like the Hatsume spring fair illustrate the country’s passion for popular culture, while demonstrations like Sado: The Way of Tea highlight its deep connection to tradition. The property also hosts temporary exhibitions that delve into various Japanese themes. This year, the museum explored the incarceration of Japanese-American citizens during WWII, the evolution of bamboo baskets, and the artistry of Japanese tattoo traditions—a man even got inked onstage at the exhibition opening.

Step inside Pineapples, Palms, Etc., a 15-year-old furniture and accessories emporium at Fisherman’s Wharf in Jupiter, and there’s little wonder why it’s a design mecca for North County residents like Ernie and Liezl Els and Bryant and Hilary Gumbel. Sisters Shelly Bascetta and Lisa Peterson keep the 4,000-square-foot space updated with a curated inventory ranging from John Robshaw pillows and Ro Sham Beaux beaded chandeliers to hand-painted gyotaku fish prints and natural driftwood coffee tables. Cindy Larschan makes sure the online store—named Pineapples, Palms Too—is just as well stocked. If you’ve fallen for the seaside aesthetic and need help transforming your abode, the store’s four interior designers are on hand to make your coastal dreams come true.

Walking into The Bee in downtown West Palm Beach, you instantly feel virtuous. The granola-chic space with its mismatched furnishings and the scent of fresh veggies and herbs wafting from the juicers makes you regret every cheeseburger you’ve ever had and run for the chia porridge. But you don’t have to be vegan to replace milk with “mylk.”

Living foods like the Moroccan “burger” with a chickpea-yam patty and the raw pad Thai with kelp and zucchini noodles taste better than you can imagine and are nutritiondense to boot. Eat in or Grab & Glow, then come back for the Moon Vinyasa yoga class.

With a name like The Silver Fund, one would logically expect to find all things silver. While it’s true that the Worth Avenue gallery stocks important silver pieces by Georg Jensen, Jean Puiforcat, and others, we are obsessed with its other fine wares: twentieth-century furniture and lighting. We’ve found ourselves coveting a 1970s Venini cascading chandelier with clear and green crystals, a pair of Milo Baughman armchairs in lemon yellow, and a Pierre Cardin end table with a cubist “cage” base. With so many collectors in Palm Beach, the pieces are snapped up fast—but are always replaced by new treasures that make the hunt such exquisite torture. Enthusiasts of twentieth-century art and design, you’ve been warned.

SUNDAY BRUNCH

JERRY RABINOWITZ

Breakfast may be the most important meal of the day, but brunch rules on Sunday. Plenty of places serve the glorious hybrid, but none do it quite like Rebel House in Boca Raton. The first thing that stands out are the servers’ smiles—they’re definitely morning people. Then there’s the menu. Sure, Rebel House has French toast, but its version is stuffed with Nutella and marshmallows and topped with macerated blueberries and bacon maple syrup. Or try the scrambled eggs, reimagined with truffle, sautéed foie gras, and Hen of the Woods mushrooms. But it’s the sweets cart—full of pecan rolls, savory pound cake, and monkey bread—that really puts us in a happy place. If you don’t start with one of pastry chef Janet Griffith’s Fruity Pebble treats, don’t bother getting out of bed.

Fika, or coffee break, is taken seriously in Sweden.

Many Swedish companies even make it a mandatory practice, believing it breeds a happier, more productive workforce. A proper fika includes three things: Swedish coffee, a cinnamon bun or something sweet, and, most importantly, good conversation. Nicklas and Bernt Thuden would know. After running a successful café in Stockholm for 15 years, they opened Johan’s Jöe Swedish Coffee House & Café in West Palm Beach. Amidst the crystal chandeliers and reindeer motifs, they offer ethically roasted Löfbergs Lila coffee and a menu of Swedish delights like princess tortes, a traditional dessert made with sponge cake, jam, pastry cream, and marzipan.

For a true slice of Nordic bliss, we recommend the Swedish pancakes topped with raspberry or lingonberry preserves and fresh whipped cream.

Johan’s Jöe offers the ultimate afternoon break, complete with Swedish coffee and pastries.

CREATIVE INCUBATOR

The word “lab” evokes images of test tubes and white coats, beakers and microscopes. Florida Atlantic University is cooking up a different type of creativity at Theatre Lab, a professional resident company dedicated to fostering new plays. Established by South Florida theater superstar Louis Tyrrell in the fall of 2015, Theatre Lab operates out of FAU’s Parliament dormitory building, allowing students the chance to work alongside established actors, directors, and writers. In its inaugural season, the company’s output upstaged its modest setting, attracting world-renowned playwrights with the promise of developing new works through staged readings, post-show discussions, and critical workshops. Theatre Lab is not just beneficial to the artists—it also invites the audience into the creative process, instilling a better understanding of what a play goes through before the curtain rises. This year, three previously incubated plays will receive full productions, signaling another phase of this great theatrical experiment.

The best meals make you feel loved, which explains why we want to give chef Eric Baker a hug every time we eat at Max’s Harvest in Delray Beach. The New York native serves up impeccably presented modern American fare with a focus on homegrown ingredients and international flavors from France, Spain, and Asia.

Think fork-tender hanger steak bourguignonne with house-made bacon and rainbow cauliflower or just-caught cobia served with a ma la vinaigrette composed of so many ingredients we lose count.

It’s a scene straight out of a classic Bogart movie: Dim lights gracefully illuminate crisp tablecloths that will soon be crowded with martinis, shrimp cocktail, steak tartare, foie gras, and prime rib. It’s old-school decadence done right—and Bogie would be proud. A small semicircle stage anchors the intimate room, awaiting its transformation from set piece to playground for some of the country’s top triple threats. This is the Royal Room at The Colony Hotel, and it is singularly responsible for reviving Palm Beach’s cabaret scene. In its 2015-16 season, the Royal Room Cabaret celebrated 15 years of sensational song and dance with an all-star lineup that included regulars like Tommy Tune and Avery Sommers as well as Royal Room newbies like Tony Danza (yes, he can sing!) and up-and-coming stars from Manhattan’s cabaret circuit. This year, it promises more of the same.

Book a table and prepare to enter the heyday of cabaret.

CITY

WEST PALM BEACH IS FAST BECOMING FLORIDA’S NEXT GREAT CITY, DUE IN PART TO A DOWNTOWN DISTRICT ON A CULTURAL UPSWING AND ON THE VERGE OF A DEVELOPMENT BOOM

WPB DOWNTOWN DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY

BY LIZA GRANT SMITH AND JENNIFER PFAFF SMITH

West Palm Beach is in the midst of a renaissance. The downtown district of 2016 thrives with places to live, work, play, and eat—and even more is coming. But the city’s landscape and personality are vastly different than in 1996, or even 2006.

Twenty years ago, locals tended to avoid the area, which was known for vacant buildings, crime, and a poor layout. At the time, nearly 80 percent of downtown properties sat vacant, and the city’s struggles were featured in a 60 Minutes special on the plight of urban decay. West Palm’s recent past, however, has not defined its future. Thanks to strategic planning and creative problem-solving by tireless public servants and developers, downtown West Palm Beach is on the cusp of becoming Florida’s “it” destination for living and visiting. “[West Palm Beach] has a pace and vibe that is laid-back and attractive,” says Raphael Clemente, executive director of the West Palm Beach Downtown Development Authority. “It’s all about allowing growth to happen and simultaneously remaining who we are. … I want the city to be a place where people feel like there’s opportunity—whether they see opportunity for business or fun.”

For the last 10 years, Clemente and the DDA have worked with the mayor’s office to attract businesses to downtown, a necessary step for revitalization. But this process is about more than just dollars—it’s also about beautification, instilling a sense of hometown pride in locals, and creating a place people yearn to move to. The DDA and City of West Palm Beach Mayor Jeri Muoio know mirth is just as valuable as money.

“One of the things I’ve come to appreciate and think has made a big difference is the energy and excitement people feel about what’s going on down here,” says Muoio, who launched an “I Love WPB” slogan that is now a popular social media hashtag. Muoio also has revamped the City planning, zoning, and building departments to be, as she puts it, “more user friendly.”

Clemente and Muoio’s enthusiasm for the area is palpable, and developers and city-planning experts are quick to echo their ardor.

“West Palm Beach is one of the most exciting cities in all of South Florida, if not the state, if not the country in terms of the momentum and where it’s going,” says Kim Briesemeister, cofounder of Redevelop-

ment Management Associates and author of Reinventing Your City: Eight Steps to Turn Your City Around. RMA has redefined many of South Florida’s most thriving metropolitans and has worked with the West Palm Beach Community Redevelopment Agency on revitalization plans for the north end.

Briesemeister sees West Palm’s trajectory—which has been slow but steady—as a path toward long-term prosperity, one that was forged with the opening of CityPlace in 2000. As she notes, growth for the sake of growth is not always healthy nor necessary. It must be strategic and it must be in step with area needs.

When it comes to growth in West Palm Beach, one name comes to mind: Greene.

Billionaire businessman Jeff Greene has been buying land throughout the downtown area in preparation for large-scale development, and the time has come to build.

From Greene’s vision for mixed-use apartment buildings and exceptional schools to the imminent opening of the new Brightline express train station and the continued climb of Clematis Street, the face of West Palm Beach is about to change for the better. Here, we dissect downtown’s developing diagram.

ARE YOU DOWN WITH EVERYTHING THAT’S GOING UP? GET THE INSIDE SCOOP ON WHAT’S BEEN BOUGHT AND WHAT’S BEING BUILT IN WEST PALM BEACH. 1. CURRIE PARK The Site: North Flagler Drive at 23rd Street The Skinny: Less than a month after purchasing 4.5 acres along Flagler Drive for $31 million in May 2015, Jeff Greene spent $1.51 million to buy five connected residential lots across the street and effectively own all the land surrounding Currie Park. Now the City is partnering with Greene to hire architect Carlo Ratti to reimagine the park. Ratti plans to make it a destination, with features like a public marina and waterfront restaurants. Greene also is negotiating a lease for a 45,000-square-foot grocery store, a component many feel has prevented the Northwood area from truly thriving as a residential community.

2. 312 23RD The Site: Between North Dixie Highway and North Flagler Drive The Timeline: Opening December 2016 The Skinny: Located on a 1.3-acre site, this apartment building will be four stories with 99 units and 3,500 square feet of ground-floor retail. Developer Neil Kozokoff of Parkland Companies (also behind the new Park Slope complex) describes the project as a boutique-scale luxury apartment building in a great location.

3. SUNSET LOUNGE The Site: 609 8th Street The Timeline: Renovations to begin early 2017, with first phase opening in 2018 The Skinny: A performance venue of yesteryear that hosted stars so bright it earned the nickname “Cotton Club of the South,” the Sunset Lounge has the opportunity to live again. City commissioners have approved a purchase of the club and surrounding parcels for $2.4 million, and the West Palm Beach Community Redevelopment Agency recently received a grant from the Knight Foundation to transform the area into a cultural hub. Plans include a 1930s-style renovation as well as the introduction of a musically inspired park.

4. ONE WEST PALM The Site: 550 North Quadrille Boulevard The Skinny: The crown jewel of Jeff Greene’s forthcoming building extravaganza, One West Palm’s dual towers will include retail, restaurants, office space, a hotel, and condos, among other luxury amenities.

5. BANYAN STREET GARAGE The Site: 195 North Narcissus Avenue The Timeline: Final design to be chosen by March 2017 The Skinny: Earlier this year, West Palm Beach signed a contract with the Van Alen Institute, a New York– based firm that runs international design competitions, to help with the Banyan Street Garage, which has reached the end of its useful life. The goal is to keep a parking component but reimagine the facilities as a mixed-use building. Rather than the City being responsible for all the envisioning, Van Alen is managing a public competition for the ultimate design.

6. MICRO APARTMENTS The Site: 550 Banyan Boulevard

The Skinny: Capitalizing on the popularity of micro apartments (those smaller and cheaper than normal units) among millennials, Jeff Greene is proposing a 12-story building with 400 units at the southeast corner of Banyan Boulevard and Rosemary Avenue. At only 450 square feet, the apartments will be half the size of a standard one-bedroom unit downtown, but will rent for $995 to $1,200, significantly below market.

7. CLEMATIS PLACE The Site: 530 Clematis Street The Skinny: Earlier this year, Greene submitted a plan for a 12-story residential building on the east side of Rosemary between Clematis and Datura streets. Designed by Arquitectonica, Clematis Place will consist of 162 conventional, market-rate units and 3,750 feet of retail space.

8. HOTEL AT 302 DATURA The Site: 302 Datura Street The Timeline: Construction to begin soon and take approximately 18 months The Skinny: Once earmarked for condos, the land at 302 Datura Street may now be used to build a 166room, eight-story hotel, with discussions currently being finalized with an international brand.

9. BROADSTONE CITY CENTER The Site: 410 and 424 Datura Street, 427 Evernia Street, and 207 South Dixie Highway The Timeline: Opening early 2018 The Skinny: Alliance Residential Co., one of the nation’s largest private multifamily companies, paid approximately $10 million for 2.57 acres that span nearly two downtown blocks. Alliance plans to erect a luxury 315-unit, eight-story apartment building on the site.

A residential building is also planned for the space, and Phase Two will connect this station to Orlando.

11. THE ALEXANDER The Site: 333 Fern Street The Timeline: Opening third quarter of 2017 The Skinny: The Alexander is a joint venture between Kolter and Ram, the company that created Alexander Lofts, which are located in the old Southern Bell Telephone regional headquarters building. When The Alexander opens, it will share amenities with its brother building and will boast 205 one- and two-bedroom units as well as a pool deck with a spa and a public park.

12. COSMOPOLITAN W. PALM BEACH The Site: On Gardenia Street between Quadrille and South Dixie Highway The Timeline: Construction to start early 2017, with an opening scheduled for second quarter of 2018 The Skinny: The proposed Cosmopolitan will target financial district clientele with an 18-story tower composed of luxury office space, a restaurant, and hotel rooms.

One West Palm’s innovative architecture will augment the downtown skyline.

GOING GREENE In something akin to a masterful game of Monopoly, Jeff Greene has spent recent years strategically acquiring property around the city for development. But to the Palm Beach billionaire, it’s more than just business.

“In everything I’m doing, I try to do something innovative,” he says. “To me it’s an opportunity to have an impact on the community and create something special.”

This concept is evident in Greene’s One West Palm, located at 550 North Quadrille Boulevard. The structure is touted as an urban center like no other, with spaces for living, working, shopping, dining, and exercising.

The ground floors of the two 30-floor towers will contain retail space, restaurants, and corner parks, as well as a daycare center and a state-of-the-art fitness center with indoor and outdoor pools and tennis courts.

One of the towers will feature 340,000 square feet of Class A office space; the other will include a five-star hotel with 209 guest suites, above which will be 84 luxury condo or rental units.

Based on extensive drone studies, Greene believes that everything above the fifth floor will offer water views, with anyone on the twentieth to thirtieth floors able to see from Boca Raton in the south to Jupiter in the north

an opportunity to build an extraordinary educational facility from the ground up.

“It’s a lot more work to start from scratch than to fix something, but it allows you to get it right,” he says. “We have no legacy teachers, no legacy facilities, no legacy curriculum, no legacy students. We basically have a blank canvas.”

The campus, located at the site of a former Mazda dealership on South Dixie Highway, is designed by renowned architect, engineer, and MIT professor Carlo Ratti, underscoring the developer’s desire to up the city’s aesthetic ante.

One West Palm and The Greene School are only two of many projects Greene has in his pipeline but are indicative of the level of innovation and critical thinking he plans to bring to the West Palm Beach area. And while his deals will no doubt be lucrative, his motivation goes beyond that. From filling a need to improving the visual context, it’s all about building a better city.

His M.O. is simple: “to do as much good as I can, have a good time doing it, and leave a mark.”

on a clear day.

This “city within a city” promises to change the skyline of West Palm Beach. The building’s design, envisioned by the Miami-based firm Arquitectonica, resembles an uneven stack of (giant) children’s building blocks. Greene revels in its uniqueness.

“When I originally came to this market, I saw all this new development and was shocked by how mediocre most of the architecture was,” he says. “It’s not that much more money to build a building that is aesthetically pleasing as opposed to just boxes.”

One West Palm’s estimated project cost of $250 million includes that additional investment in the visual “wow” factor. “We went through many iterations until we came up with what I think will be the most dramatic building in West Palm Beach,” he says.

As a businessman and a family man, Greene insists he’s “100 percent invested in this The Greene School market.” That includes building successful communities that extend past commercial endeavors. Case in point: The Greene School, which opens its doors to high-performing students this fall. Greene sees the school, which will launch with a limited student body but eventually serve grades pre-K to 8, as

Thierry Beaud (right) saw the potential of Clematis Street and opened Pistache in 2008.

PAST TO PRESENT Twenty years ago, Clematis Street was largely unwalkable and consisted of three driving lanes, all eastbound. Many residents avoided the area because of crime and an unappealing nightlife riddled with clubs. On the east end, the family-friendly waterfront didn’t exist and a library blocked views of the Intracoastal.

“There was a lot going on on Clematis but not the kind of stuff we wanted,” recalls Mayor Jeri Muoio, who moved to the area in 2002 and became mayor in 2011. “There were bars and a few restaurants, but it wasn’t nearly as active as it certainly is now.”

In 2006, the City turned Jeri Muoio its attention to the street, rebranding it as West Palm Beach’s historical center. City leaders and the Downtown Development Authority created marketing plans, recruited businesses, and invested in streetscape projects.

A key component, as recommended by the Urban 70 PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

Land Institute, was demolishing the library, moving it to the 400 block of Clematis Street, and creating a waterfront park in its place.

The waterfront has since become the site of popular attractions, and the downtown area is now home to 10,000 residents, including a burgeoning millennial population. The private sector responded to these changes. New businesses joined mainstays like Pioneer Linens and Big Time Restaurant Group, and restaurateur/nightlife impresario Rodney Mayo remained dedicated to the street. Muoio also estimates that crime has gone down 36 percent since 2007. And while she acknowledges there is still work to be done, she points to a renewed energy as a sign for hope.

“I love the fact there are so many young people here cheering us on and thinking about new and innovative things to do,” Muoio says.

TAKING A BITE In the late ’90s, Clematis Street’s dining scene consisted mostly of bars and lacked high-end restaurants, recalls Thierry Beaud.

Yet a decade later, when the Palm Beach

restaurateur and his partners were looking to open a French restaurant, they took another glance at Clematis. “We heard the area was scheduled for renovation, and the waterfront [would be] developed,” Beaud says. “We believed it could have really great potential.”

In 2008, Beaud opened Pistache French Bistro, an upscale Parisian restaurant at 101 North Clematis Street. At first, he found the clientele to be mostly locals who came to support him, as many visitors considered the restaurant to be in an unsafe area. But that’s not the case anymore, he says.

“It came from a shady area of town to become a prestigious area,” Beaud says. “Clematis is converting into a dining destination more than a club destination. It’s a smart move.”

Sam Sanchez agrees. At the end of May, Sanchez, who owns eight restaurants in Chicago and one in California, opened Banko Cantina, a Mexican eatery housed in a landmark building at 114 South Olive Avenue, one block south of Clematis Street. He always wanted to open a restaurant in Florida and decided upon West Palm Beach when he noticed cranes around the city—a sign of pending growth.

“I could see Clematis had turned around,” Sanchez says. “I wanted to be part of a new momentum that’s growing.”

Sanchez praises city officials for helping facilitate the project. Since becoming mayor, Muoio has instituted more incentives for businesses to open, including tax breaks and grants for façade improvements. Now, according to

Bill Hayes (below) and Palm Beach Dramaworks have been a downtown fixture for more than 15 years.

Raphael Clemente (above) believes art projects, like interactive musical swings (left), change the way people view downtown.

Beaud and Sanchez, is the best time to open a Clematis resto.

“Two years from now, it’s going to be too expensive,” Sanchez says. “Invest now, invest early, and ride the wave. It’s going to be awesome.”

THE ABCS OF CLEMATIS: ART, BEAUTY, AND CULTURE In 2000, Bill Hayes opened downtown West Palm Beach’s first regional theater, Palm Beach Dramaworks, in the Via Jardin courtyard on Clematis Street. At the time, “the area was a little rough,” he recalls. “It seemed like half the buildings were vacant. People were avoiding downtown.” But he knew the street was considered the city’s central hub and would be revitalized.

It was a smart move. Dramaworks grew quickly and relocated to Banyan Boulevard for eight years before landing its current location, the waterfront corner of Clematis Street and Narcissus Avenue, where foot traffic turns into ticket sales. “Now, the real estate on Clematis is a hot commodity,” he says.

This shift is not accidental. Raphael Clemente of the DDA cites a Knight Foundation study that found residents feel connected to

their community because of three factors: social offerings, an openness to diversity, and aesthetics.

West Palm Beach has taken those findings seriously: To bring the community together, it organizes 150 events a year, Muoio says, like Clematis by Night and holiday activities. It also introduced beautification projects, including sprucing up utility boxes with vintage photographs and bringing in temporary interactive installations such as a set of musical swings erected on Clematis Street in February. That month-long attraction drew 34,000 people and produced a measured economic impact of $500,000, Clemente says. Now, with events such as Canvas—the annual festival that introduced 22 murals around the city in November—the art floodgates have opened.

“The best bang for our buck in terms of the biggest return is on art projects and beautification,” Clemente says. “It changes the way people think and feel about their place, which is invaluable.”

When the City moved the Clematis Street library west, it sought out another cultural entity as a ground-floor tenant: the Palm Beach Photographic Centre. Fatima NeJame, who

founded the center 30 years ago with her husband, jumped at the opportunity to be part of this downtown rebirth and relocated from Delray Beach to West Palm in late 2009. “There was a lot of evidence of excitement for the future of Clematis,” NeJame says.

That includes the establishment of the Arts and Entertainment District, a project spearheaded by Clemente to unite the downtown area’s cultural institutions. Launched in November 2014, the district has its own trolley line and map of venues.

“Having art and entertainment defines us as a city of culture,” NeJame says.

It’s a distinction that works two ways; NeJame and Hayes credit the City for supporting their institutions but also their organizations for delivering the culture. And there’s more to come: The Naked Stage theater company, for instance, has signed a lease on Clematis Street, a move Hayes hopes will help turn the street into a theater district. Twenty years ago, that might have been a pipe dream, but today the idea isn’t so far-fetched.

“If you get bored in West Palm Beach, it’s your own fault,” Muoio says. “There is so much to do.” « PALMBEACHILLUSTRATED.COM | SEPTEMBER 2016

BEST-SELLING AUTHOR ANDREW GROSS TALKS CANDIDLY ABOUT LUCKY BREAKS, INSPIRATIONS, AND LIFE LESSONS

By Mary Thurman Yuhas | Photography by Robert Nelson After Andrew Gross was let go from his job as president of an apparel manufacturer at 46, he followed his dream and became a writer. He gave himself two years to succeed, a time during which he credits his wife, Lynn, for supporting him. Sales of his first book, Hydra, were ho-hum until fate intervened. Unknown to Gross, literary agents noted how well he wrote about women and spread the word. To his surprise, Gross received a phone call from another Palm Beach author: James Patterson. The two went on to co-author six best-selling thrillers in the “Women’s Murder Club” series, one of the most popular series of all time. Seven years later, Gross left to write on his own. “It was just time,” he says. Now with 13 best sellers under his belt, the part-time Palm Beacher is still evolving as a novelist. His most recent book, The One Man (Minotaur Books, $12.99), released late last month, is a historical thriller about a Polish immigrant who rescues a physics professor from the Auschwitz concentration camp. “After a few best sellers, I want to write stories with larger themes and more in the mold of what I like to read,” he says. “It’s a very big step—most publishers and readers expect a different kind of story from me. But I think I’ve carried it off pretty successfully, and it will be a powerful and engrossing tale.”

PBI: Several times in your career, you zigged when it would have been easier to zag.

Most recently, you ended your best-selling Ty Hauck detective series to write a historical thriller. Have you always been a risk taker?

AG: Yes. I was a risk taker in business, a risk taker in the market, a risk taker in switching careers, and, ultimately now, a risk taker in wanting to switch genres. While 50 percent 82

of those leaps of faith have probably not worked out, to my good fortune the really big ones have and always led to a better place. Clearly, as I’ve grown older, I’m a little more risk averse.

How do you come up with ideas for your books?

I’m not like my mentor. I hope one solid plot idea comes into my head that can both motivate me and has the dimensions for a novel. But a novel isn’t just one idea. To me, it’s kind of a triangulation of three, sometimes four, themes or leitmotifs—sometimes things you come across, sometimes things from real life.

Are any characters in your books based on locals?

[There was] a book I wrote with Patter-

son, Lifeguard. It was set in Palm Beach. A number of those characters came from my history there. But principally, Champ—a half-crazy, self-destructive Aussie motorcycle racer who became kind of a sidekick to the hero, Ned—was built off a similar lifeguard at our Palm Beach condominium. Also, the homes and a few other characters people might find reflective of the types you find in Palm Beach.

Many authors would like to write the great American novel and imagine sitting by the pool with a martini and a laptop.

Does that describe your work day?

Yes, identical to that—minus the pool and the martini. Writing is an enviable way of life, but it requires discipline and dedication to the task. Books don’t get put out on their own. It’s also a product

of isolation: No one walks into your office to tell you about or help you on a problem. I work in a nice studio, facing away from the nice view of our pond, usually six days a week, though mostly between 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. The rest of the time I stare at the ceiling blankly, trying to convince my wife I’m working.

What frustrates you most when you write?

As in people knocking at your door, pets barging in, or requests for interviews? Just kidding. I think the overriding frustration for me is that you spend 11 months crafting something, and you have complete control of every detail.

Then you turn it over to marketing and basically lose all control. Another frustration is that you get so wrapped up emotionally in the characters and storyline of a project that it becomes your entire world. When it’s finished, that world is gone to you forever. In truth, I can’t even remember the names of my characters once I turn the page to my next book.

What’s something few people know about you?

I don’t ride a bike (which comes up every visit to Palm Beach). I grew up in Manhattan. The closest I came was years ago. I took my wife to Bermuda. We rented mopeds. I ended up on a two-seater with her in front and had to pretend our whole trip that I was just letting the “little lady” take it out for a spin.

You recently went to the doctor for a checkup thinking you were in great health and walked out knowing you had to have lifesaving surgery the next day for two blocked arteries in your heart.

How did that change you?

I’m young looking, but I have four stents in my heart. I had a 99-percent blockage of the [left anterior descending]. It was a fortuitous event that got it noticed. I was doubly lucky, as I had many warning signs. Once in Palm Beach, I was on the treadmill experiencing pain and trying to push through it.

Some guy who must’ve been 98 years old looked at me and said, “Son, you

don’t look so good!” I’d like to say I learned a bunch of life lessons from it, but the legacy was mainly a better diet.

The fragility of life and randomness of death have always been themes with me.

That situation only focused on it more.

What are your favorite Palm Beach haunts?

We like Renato’s, Buccan, and Imoto.

For something to read, the Classic Bookshop. Walker Zabriskie Furniture and Island Home for things for the house. Most likely, I’m to be found on my computer.

Any advice for aspiring writers?

Continuous improvement. A writing career is a process, not a fixed point.

You read, you write, you let others read, you get better, and slowly the things that seemed so daunting begin to come around. And rewriting. All those dazzling clues and reveals that make readers think you’re brilliant don’t always come on the first draft. Not to mention, all the good writing. Oh, and outline up front. I’m a strong believer in being in control of your story, not your story in control of you. «

Gross describes his latest novel, The One Man, which is set in Poland in 1944, as a powerful and engrossing tale, one that represents a thematic deviation from his normal output.

CRAZE

Last summer, West Palm Beach’s burgeoning dining scene witnessed the long-awaited debut of Clay Carnes’ Cholo Soy Cocina. Drawn to Antique Row’s progressive vibe, the Wellington resident transformed a postage stamp–sized boutique on Dixie Highway into one of South Florida’s hippest dining spots. Here, the Food Network Cutthroat Kitchen winner prepares Andeaninspired dishes and street-style tacos served with handmade toppings like passion fruit aji mayo and a savory slaw made with carrots, scallions, and Swank Specialty Produce’s purple cabbage.

Sustainable practices are also key for Carnes: He grows fresh herbs and chilies onsite and sources the white corn for his masa tortillas from farms in Alachua County. The corn isn’t less expensive but “as long as I can support the local agricultural community, that’s what matters,” Carnes says. (cholosoycocina.com) —Kerry Shorr

Taste LUNCH BOX:

Delray Beach Delray Beach’s stellar culinary landscape is teeming with lunch options. Four of Delray’s top chefs dish on where they head when they feel peckish. —K.S.

JAROD HIGGINS, CUT 432

“I like Max’s Harvest,” Higgins says. “Sometimes I go twice a week.

Eric (Baker) uses great ingredients and the flavor combinations are amazing.” His Pick: “The goat cheese croquettes are out of this world. Crispy on the outside and cheesy on the inside.”

(561-381-9970, maxsharvest.com)

ANTHONY SITEK,

APEIRO KITCHEN & BAR

KELLY COULSON

“When I was working in Chicago, I’d get tacos at Big Star because it was the closest thing to great Mexican in the city,” Sitek says.

“El Camino brings that Chicago atmosphere down to the beach.”

His Pick: “I order tacos and chicharrones every time I go, and the homemade hot sauce is to die for. I haven’t had a bad meal there yet, and that’s pretty impressive.” (561-865-5350, elcaminodelray.com)

BLAKE MALATESTA

NICK MORFOGEN, 32 EAST

“House of Siam is super friendly and clean,” Morforgen says. “I used to take my son there every Monday after preschool for lunch, and he’s 17 now. He always ordered the chicken satay and I would have pad Thai.” His Pick: “The crispy duck with stir-fried vegetables is very good. They have a lot of duck dishes, more than most Asian restaurants around.” (561-330-9191, siamdelray.com)

BLAKE MALATESTA,

MIA KITCHEN & BAR (COMING SOON) “Presidente Supermarket on Congress Avenue is one of Delray’s best kept secrets,” Malatesta says. “It’s a very raw supermarket where you’d go to pick up a 50-pound bag of rice. My wife and I will each get a to-go box with two sides and a protein. The portion sizes are great.” His Pick: “The oxtail’s excellent and I like the fried chicken and pork with yucca, plantains, black beans, and rice.” (561-243-1195, presidentesupermarkets.com) 88

COCKTAIL CORNER Major Tom

Rock stars may die young, but they live on at Hullabaloo on Clematis Street in a cocktail menu that pays homage to legends like Prince and Wolfman Jack.

Mixologist Brett Hart is a huge David Bowie fan and decided to honor his hero with a drink, aptly named Major Tom. “It reflects my personal approach to eating and drinking in a healthier way,” says Hart. “The antioxidants help balance the alcohol and since we use Aviation Gin, the title is a play on words.” (561-8331033, sub-culture.org/hullabaloo)

Major Tom 1 1/2 oz. Aviation American Gin 1 oz. fresh cucumber-parsley juice 1/2 oz. lavender-lemon syrup 1/2 oz. lime juice Club soda 4-5 sprigs Italian parsley To make cucumber-parsley juice, thinly slice 4 cucumbers and place into a juicer. Destem 1 large bunch of parsley.

Place leaves into juicer and blend for 30-60 seconds. Strain mixture through a cheesecloth into a separate container.

For lavender-lemon simple syrup, combine 16 oz. of sugar and 12 oz. of water in a sauce pan. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to a simmer. Add 4 oz. of French culinary lavender and 4 oz. of grated lemon zest. Remove from heat and allow to cool for 2 hours before straining through a cheesecloth.

Combine gin, juices, and syrup in a mixing glass, add ice, and shake. Pour into a Collins glass, top with club soda, and garnish with parsley. —Mark Spivak

MAINE LOBSTER ROLL

Why eat mobile: Besides the food being cooked fresh in front of you, there’s a social aspect to it. People enjoy talking with the people around them. Food always sparks a good conversation.

Why Curbside Gourmet is special: We use ingredients you’d find in a fine restaurant, like grass-fed beef and truffles. Everything is cooked to order, so it takes a little longer to serve.

Best part of the business: Getting our customers’ feedback. They’re not shy about telling you what they liked or didn’t—especially on social media.

Favorite dish on your menu: The Maine lobster roll. I’m from New England, so I’m biased. It’s not overly mixed, and we serve it on an old-school bakery bun with fresh lemon zest and french fries.

S

For Goodness’ SAKE America develops a taste for premium bottles of Japan’s national drink

BY MARK SPIVAK

94

PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

ushi is now found seemingly everywhere in the United States, but 30 years ago, the fad was in its infancy.

Back then, diners accompanied it with hot sake from porcelain flasks. Those drinks were rotgut, but a lot of people thought the act of consuming sake marked them as savvy world travelers.

Today it’s unusual to find a top-notch sushi bar without an assortment of junmai, junmai ginjo, and junmai daiginjo served chilled and available in small (180-ml) bottles.

Sake remains the national beverage of Japan, with about 1,300 producers scattered around the country. While it is frequently referred to as rice wine, that term is a misnomer. Sake is made from a process that resembles beer brewing, although there are differences. The two most important ingredients are rice and water, so sake breweries are typically located near pure sources, such as mountain springs.

The rice used for sake is larger than edible rice, with a bigger core of starch at the center. During brewing, the starch is converted into sugars, which in turn are transformed into alcohol. Generally, the amount of outer bran removed during the milling process determines the grade. Junmai, junmai ginjo, and junmai daiginjo, respectively, have 30, 40, and 50 percent of the outer kernel polished off prior to production.

Junmai ginjo and junmai daiginjo may have distilled alcohol added during the brewing process as well.

While it’s possible to spend hundreds or even thousands of dollars on sake in the nation’s leading sushi bars, consumers can easily find an exceptional bottle of premium sake for less than $100. Vine Connections (vineconnections.com) imports dozens of labels from Japan, including Takasogo’s Divine Droplets ($65) and Rihaku’s Dreamy Clouds ($30), a nigori, or unfiltered, sake.

The junmai ginjo from Hakkaisan, one of the most popular premium brands in Japan, is widely available in the States for $40.

American sake is coming of age. It has a marketing advantage over the Japanese

Founded in 1992, Sake One is the only sake-brewing facility in Oregon.

The Oregon Coastal Mountain Region yields water perfect for making sake, including the popular Momokawa.

version in that most people can pronounce the names of the brands, and a practical one as well—it costs less, so consumers can painlessly try a wider range of products, although purists might contend that the quality of rice and water is inferior. The leader in the domestic category is Oregon’s Sake One, which produces Momokawa and Moonstone (both around $15). The Momokawa sakes are jum-

nai ginjo, while the Moonstone varieties are flavored—think of it as the sake equivalent of White Zinfandel. Roughly speaking, the difference between Momokawa and Japanese sake is similar to the distinction between California and French wine, with the American version displaying more forward and uncomplicated flavors.

Sake has become a popular ingredient for the new generation of American mixologists. Although the trend is cooling now, sake cocktails are still ubiquitous in New York, San Francisco, and Los Angeles, as well as South Florida. Given the low alcohol content of sake (usually 18 to 20 percent, slightly higher than most wines but considerably lower than

The World’s Finest Man Made Gems Diamond Quality Cubic Zirconia

spirits), it provides a welcome alternative for many consumers, especially during the hot months. Filtered sake blends well with fruit juices, particularly citrus, while nigori unfiltered sake is a good match for tropical mixers, such as cream of coconut, and can make a delightful tiki cocktail.

There are numerous online sources for ordering fine Japanese sake. To learn more, one of the best websites is Sake World by John Gauntner (sake-world.com). An American who has lived in Japan since 1998, Gauntner explains the intricacies of sake in clear and understandable language. «

Chic Coastal Casa With locations throughout the state, Pamela Hughes of Hughes Design Associates knows

how to create outstanding contemporary designs that still fit within a classic Floridian aesthetic, as seen in this waterfront estate. Built in the 1980s, this home was remodeled in 2015 with the goal of capturing the styling and technology of twenty-first-century luxury properties. Mark van den Broek of SmartHouse Integration upgraded the technology by integrating all lighting, audio-visual, and security aspects, while Hughes addressed the aesthetics. “Clean and sleek yet comfortable and fun, this home is a reflection of the incredible taste and style of the client,” LUNARDI PHOTOGRAPHY

Hughes says. She added a linear, stainless steel fireplace that was “designed for function, as well as for its sleek and modern vocabulary,” she explains. White walls and bright custom furniture offer an ideal backdrop to the homeowner’s contemporary art collection, ranging from Pop Art prints by Ron English to a Chuck Hoberman sphere that can expand and take on a spectrum of colors. The stunning water view becomes another welcomed work of art thanks to the addition of glass barn doors. Palm Beach (561-491-9797, hughesdes.com)

Balance Future

Farmers As his agricultural alter ego Farmer Jay, Jason McCobb plants seeds big and small, literal and figurative. His love of farming has deep roots, and he’s on a mission to share his knowledge with the children of Palm Beach County. “I’ve grown up with dirt under my fingernails,” says McCobb. “I think what we grow up doing, we do when we’re grown.” Since 2010, McCobb has taught elementary schoolers how to farm— from the basics of germination to the benefits of insects—as part of his Junior Sprouts program. The core curriculum is broken into two parts: Junior Sprouts 1 and Junior Sprouts 2, each consisting of eight classes. In both, McCobb works interactively with the kids to illustrate concepts key to successful farming and urges them to use these lessons—such as planting a seed as deep as it is wide—to grow their own food. “I find what the kids grow, they eat,” he says. “Taking something from a lifeless form—the seed—into something that grows and you eat is beautiful.”

Though he frequently packages Junior Sprouts as an after-school program, he’s

also done in-school field trips, presented to homeschool groups, and conducted classes at libraries; he even recently added a Farm and Crafts course that drives home these messages with art projects. These efforts work toward McCobb’s goal of combating hunger in the county and helping children establish a lifelong connection to the earth. As McCobb sees it, if we “teach them to have respect for nature instead of trying to dominate it, then I think our future will be much brighter.” (561-396-0210, myfarmerjay.com)

Wonder

Maintaining one’s health and fitness is a daily concern. On September 28, women across the country will get some extra help thanks to National Women’s Health and Fitness Day, which aims to bring awareness to the need for regular physical activity and healthy lifestyles.

In celebration, PBI reached out to two local businesswomen who represent the dual arms of this important day.

NUTRITION RESERVEAGE COURTESY OF

Women

PBI: What are your top health and beauty tips for women?

Whittel: The first one would be get enough sleep. Make sure that the quality of sleep is really “beauty sleep.”

You’re in a room that’s cold enough. You have good sleep hygiene, so you don’t have your cell phone right next to you.

It’s dark enough so that you get really high quality beauty sleep. [Also] make sure you get enough vegetables in the day. ... The enzymes that come with it can support your digestive system, which in turn can support your beauty.

What words of motivation would you tell a woman who is starting her nutrition and wellness journey?

Focus on one step at a time, because if you can focus today on maybe taking a 10-minute walk at the end of the day with a friend, those steps can really start some incredible momentum. As soon as you start to feel good about yourself for something that you’ve achieved, reward yourself.

What advice would you give women who want to succeed in the health and nutrition industry?

Search for what I call “sponsors,” or very active mentors. Women will often look for a mentor and will go and have a cup of coffee and talk about this and that, but this is not an active form of engagement. I like when my mentors take me with them into their environments, into their peer groups, introduce me, make those connections, and help me grow and build my business that way.

NAOMI WHITTEL (left) is a lifelong entrepreneur best known as the founder of Reserveage Nutrition, a Boca Raton company that makes plant-based health and beauty products. She started Reserveage as a way to share wellness secrets from cultures around the globe—from the role of resveratrol in the French lifestyle to the benefits of collagen in Asian diets. “I try to find solutions for beauty from the experts all over the world,” Whittel says. “Beauty comes from within and from a place of health and well-being.” Now the CEO of the health and wellness company Twinlab Consolidated Holdings, she attributes her success in the industry to confidence and identifying a need to protect that confidence as a young woman. (800553-1896, reserveage.com) NINA DIMAGIBA (right) doesn’t mind working up a sweat. As the owner of the new Fitness Hub workout club in downtown West Palm Beach, she spends most of her day working out and motivating others to achieve their goals. “For me it’s not a workout,” she says. “It’s just such a fun thing, and you develop community and comradery.” Dimagiba is a seasoned businesswoman and was excited to start a company that revolved around one of her passions: group fitness. Her studio offers more than 70 classes, including yoga, indoor cycling, and strength conditioning, as well as small-group and one-on-one training. Dimagiba says women gravitate toward group training for the motivation and out of a sense of competitiveness. (561408-0885, fitnesshubfl.com) Here, Whittel and Dimagiba share insight into their industries and words of motivation.

PBI: What time of day do you suggest working out?

Dimagiba: Find the time that works for your lifestyle. It’s finding some sort of a schedule that you can commit to, but make it part of your routine as opposed to a task. I personally like the 9-10 a.m. timeframe because I get up early, so it allows me to do two or three hours’ worth of work in the morning. Then I take my little break and I go back to work around noontime, and I have the rest of the day to work. When I do have more time, I'll pop in for evening classes.

What fitness regimen would you suggest for a woman who wants to get toned without bulking up?

For toning, you need cardio and strength training.

We are just not made to bulk up; [for that,] you have to do major protein and really heavy weights every single day for an hour. I would just recommend to do a mix of cardio classes and strength training as well as yoga and cross training.

What words of motivation would you offer a woman who is starting her fitness journey?

Take care of your body. Women, especially, have the tendency to take care of everything else as opposed to themselves. Making your health and your fitness a No. 1 priority is something that’s really important and women tend to neglect. Just make little steps. We have the tendency to see things on TV and social media about this overnight transformation. It’s hard work and it takes commitment.

For a guide on how to get your whole family on a path toward health, pick up The Plantpower Way: Whole Food Plant-Based Recipes and Guidance for the Whole Family (Avery, $40). Written by ultra-distance athlete Rich Roll and his chef wife, Julie Piatt, The Plantpower Way features 120 vegan recipes designed for adults and children alike, ranging from breakfasts to desserts and all the delicious smoothies in between.

Very Veggie VEGAN COOKING IS MORE THAN JUST TOFU AND SALADS. WHEN IT COMES TO PLANT-BASED EATING, A LITTLE INSPIRATION GOES A LONG WAY. HERE ARE A FEW VEGAN COOKBOOKS STIMULATING OUR TASTE BUDS:

Chef Tal Ronnen shares his favorite recipes from his Los Angeles restaurant in Crossroads: Extraordinary Recipes from the Restaurant that is Reinventing Vegan Cuisine (Artisan, $35). Ronnen illustrates that it’s easy to recreate the carnivore dishes we crave sans animal products by showcasing seasonal ingredients transformed into relatable Mediterranean eats like tomato-sauced pappardelle.

Cleanses are all the rage in the health-food world, but our current favorite “cleanse” is all about tacos. The Taco Cleanse: The Tortilla-Based Diet Proven to Change Your Life (The Experiment, $18) proves vegan food can be fun, too.

Created by a group of “vegan taco scientists” from quintessentially weird Austin, Texas, The Taco Cleanse teaches readers how to make everything from the shells themselves to vegan takes on typically meaty fillers like al pastor.

Feet First

Reflexology is a comfortable and relaxing means of alleviating stress, and it can also help you sleep.

A foot massage is a welcome treat, and reflexology takes the decadent practice to another level—one that can boast physiological benefits. With roots in ancient Egypt and China, reflexology is the practice of applying pressure to the feet (some practitioners also focus on the hands and even the ears) to energize corresponding areas of the body. There are more than 7,000 nerve endings in the foot, and reflexologists believe stimulating these points can result in improved circulation and wellbeing in different energy pathways, known as meridians. Reflexology is widely accepted as an effective means of alleviating stress, and many studies agree it may reduce pain, depression, and anxiety. You can try reflexology at many spas and massage studios in Palm Beach County, including at Flourish Massage in Palm Beach Gardens. (561-249-7536)

HEALTHY HONEY

September is National Honey Month, but this natural sweetener has health benefits that can be enjoyed year round. A tablespoon of honey contains 17 grams of carbohydrates, making it the perfect quick energy boost before or after a workout. Consuming raw honey can also counteract seasonal allergies, and the World Health Organization even recommends honey as a natural cough remedy. Most notably, honey has antibacterial properties and has been used for centuries as a treatment for wounds, burns, and inflammation.

There are many local honey purveyors based in Palm Beach County. Bee Unique in West Palm Beach sells a variety of honeys as well as royal jelly and skin-care products. In Delray Beach, Bee Healthy Honey Farms specializes in treatment-free, all-natural honey and also provides tours that give visitors the inside scoop on bee life and honey production.

Agenda WATER WORLD For 20 years, fine art photographer Barbara Cole has used water to capture human emotions and existential themes such as fragmented relationships and the nimble nature of time. The Toronto native begins the process by creating a scenario, like a young woman lost inside a garden or a couple walking arm in arm, which she photographs in her swimming pool and then enhances with a painterly effect in Photoshop. Cole uses props like plastic sheeting and mirrors to heighten the dreamy interplay between her subjects, who have included family, friends, and dancers from the National Ballet of Canada. In Rosenbaum Contemporary’s new exhibition “Barbara Cole: Counterpoint,” on display September 8 to October 15, visitors can view many of the artist’s most masterful works and lenticulars, images that appear to move as viewers walk by them. Boca Raton (561-9949180, rosenbaumcontemporary. com) —Kerry Shorr

Barbara Cole creates ethereal images like Counterpoint (above) and Echo.

BEBEL

Some children live in their parents’ shadows, but not Bebel Gilberto. Daughter of Brazilian music icons João Gilberto and Miúcha, Gilberto recorded her first song when she was only 7 years old and today is renowned for her bossa nova–imbued melodies and soulful stage style. On September 10, she’ll demonstrate her sensual rhythms when she headlines Brazilian Beat at Mizner Park Amphitheater in Boca Raton. Honoring Brazil’s Independence Day, this free annual showcase features Capoeira dancers, samba drummers, authentic cuisine, and more. Ahead of the happenings, PBI spoke with Gilberto about singing and the perks of being herself. (561-367-7070, downtownboca.org) —K.S.

TOWER OF

PBI: Bebel’s a beautiful name. Does it have a special meaning?

Gilberto: It’s a nickname for Isabel. I was the only Isabel in my family, then some young cousins decided to imitate me. Perhaps my parents were inspired by Princess Isabel who freed the slaves in Brazil. She is a hero.

How did it feel to receive a Grammy nomination for your song “Tudo”?

That was a good feeling. Unfortunately, I did not win but I felt like I won. I wonder what it feels like to win.

Maybe when I am 70 I will win. I have seven nominations; isn’t that great?

What are your favorite songs to sing in the car or shower?

It changes. I love Brazilian singer Mart’nália. She is in New York and I am writing a song with her. Usually I sing old songs. Lately, I am singing “Rapte-me Camaleoa” by Caetano Veloso. He was just here at my apartment and I told him how much I love that song.

What trait is quintessentially you?

A sense of humor. I am very natural about being myself. I make an effort to be normal. I am always on the subway or [at] the bakery just like anyWhat’s Gilberto’s best nonmusical talent? Find out at one else. I am humble palmbeachillustrated.com/ and that helps.

When Lana Marks couldn’t find a red alligator purse to wear to Queen Elizabeth II’s fifty-eighth birthday celebration she did the next best thing: She designed her own. In 1988, the South African–born accessories designer introduced her eponymous line with a lunchbox silhouette followed by a collection of colorful de rigueur handbags made from exotic skins like crocodile and snake. Her diamond Cleopatra clutches and Princess Diana bags have amassed an elite following of Hollywood royalty, including Angelina Jolie and Kate Winslet. Today, when she’s not traveling the world in search of sartorial inspiration, she enjoys spending time at home in Palm Beach with her husband, Neville, and their three grandchildren, Mia and twins Mason and Skyla.
