Proceeds from the 2024 Chrysanthemum Ball will support the Robert and Carol Weissman Cancer Center expansion.

In order to increase access and continue serving our community in the manner it deserves, a major renovation and expansion is needed for the third floor of the cancer center to meet the growing demand for cancer care. This renovation will increase the number of infusion chairs and exam rooms, allow for additional infusion pharmacists and create dedicated space for support services, such as yoga and survivorship.

“In my view, the decision by Cleveland Clinic to renovate the third floor of our cancer center is very much needed and will greatly benefit our community. I am delighted to help support in this most important endeavor.” – Bob Weissman

EDITOR’S NOTE

Crème de la crème

© LILA PHOTO

s summer comes to a close and we look forward to season, it’s the perfect time for our inaugural Best Of Issue! As snowbirds return and locals get ready to up their social game, hopefully seeing what our readers deem the “best of the best” in the area will give everyone a little motivation to get out there this season and experience some new (or tried-and-true) places on the Treasure Coast.

A little background: last spring, we asked y’all to visit stuartmagazine.com and vote for your favorite restaurants, shopping destinations, and more. Our poll included 40-plus subcategories in the areas of Best of Dining, Best of Shopping, Best of Outdoor Recreation, Best of Arts & Culture, Best of Wellness & Beauty, and Best of Pet Care. Thanks to everyone who visited our site and cast a ballot! Now, if you don’t agree with the finalists, I urge you to vote next year so your voice can be heard.

To see all the winners (and runners-up), turn to page 48.

A couple of highlights in The Local section this month: in our Character profile, we talk to Markus Edegran, a local kiteboarder who competed at the 2024 Olympics in Paris this summer. Markus tells us he spent a lot of time at our beautiful beaches training, so if you’ve ever admired those incredible kiters from the sand, you might have seen an Olympian out there on the water and not even known it. Get to know more about Markus’s journey to the Olympics in “Sailing to Victory,” beginning on page 34.

Our Conservation column this month focuses on “prescribed burns.” We talk to county officials to find out just why they intentionally set controlled fires in our natural areas and how that helps nature thrive.

Hear from our local environmental resources experts in “Fighting Fire with Fire,” which starts on page 32.

Have you been to 999 Lounge Bar yet? It’s a chill new spot off U.S. 1 in Stuart (near White’s Tackle shop), where you can relax on sofas and hanging egg chairs and sip a cocktail, glass of wine, or mocktail. They also host a variety of fun event nights and live music. Read more about it in our Flavor section, beginning on page 89.

One more thing: don’t forget it’s foodie month! Flavor South Florida runs throughout September, offering the chance to sample cuisine at 60-plus participating restaurants in Palm Beach, Martin, and St. Lucie counties. Take advantage of their prix fixe deals and support our local restaurants! To find out which local restaurants are participating this year and see their special Flavor menus, visit flavorpb.com.

Peace, and blessings,

Michelle Lee Ribeiro Editor in Chief michelle@stuartmagazine.com @mleerib

DAVID SCAROLA PHOTOGRAPHY

TRACEY BENSON

elcome to our September issue! I hope your summer was full of adventures as well as some relaxing downtime. I certainly enjoyed the slower summer days, but I am now ready for the season to be on its way!

One highlight of summer for me was our son’s wedding. I am officially a mother-in-law! On June 29, our son Alex married Benita—a truly beautiful person inside and out. I am so proud to say my daughter-in-law is an OR nurse (previously a traveling ER nurse). I have always had such respect for our nurses, and some of the stories Benita has shared with us are so heartwarming. I’d like to say a big thank you to all the nurses out there! Alex and Benita live only 3 miles from us, so we get to see them often and create family memories.

They used to live in South Carolina and are so happy to be here in Florida now. We all agree we live in one of the best places in the country.

The planning of the wedding was at times stressful, but in a good way of course. I mention this because I did most of it myself, with the help of some fabulous vendors, and I could not have accomplished my vision without all of them.

On that note, I’m excited to announce that this issue welcomes the return of our Wedding & Party Planning advertising section, which will run twice a year (in September and April). I hope as time goes on, this section will grow and provide an arena for many local businesses to market their incredible talents and specialties. It literally takes a team of experts to pull together any type of event, and I am so grateful to everyone who held my hand during the planning of my son’s wedding.

Next month’s issue will include our annual Charity Datebook, as well as the special advertising sections that appear in every issue—Luxury Homes and the Home Resource Guide. Email me if you’d like to discuss advertising opportunities in either of these sections, or on our Flavor dining pages.

Before season is in full swing, I hope you’ll sign up for our weekly Insider’s Guide newsletter WEDDING BELLS at stuartmagazine.com to stay in the know about everything that’s going on. And don’t forget to follow us on Instagram too: @stuartmagazine_.

See you in October!

en years ago, few would have imagined that the house at 322 Center Street in Jupiter, run-down and so overgrown with weeds it was barely visible from the street, held a long-forgotten place in the town’s history. Jupiter resident Ernie Fidanza would drive by the house and wonder what the story was behind this sad property. One day, he decided to find out.

The Mission-style home was built in 1924

by Eli Sims, who is considered one of Jupiter’s founding fathers. Sims’ wife, Essie, was the daughter of Charlie Pierce, a Barefoot Mailman, and Ethel Sims, Jupiter’s first female postmaster.

“I never understood why people didn’t take an interest [in the house],” says Fidanza, who went to the town and asked about the home. “They told me it was a troubled property, but no one had talked to the owners.” Fidanza tracked SE PTEM B ER 2 0 2 4

The daily-changing menu includes entrées like locally sourced mahi with housemade mango salsa and churrasco skirt steak with chimichurri sauce.

A glass of wine from the impressive wine list curated by sommelier Sophia Crawford can be enjoyed on the quaint, brick-lined outdoor patio.

Fidanza hopes that when people come to The Sims House, they not only enjoy a delicious dinner but also take home a new appreciation for the Jupiter community and its history. “I never could have gotten to where I’m at without community support,” he says. “For me, it’s about the fabric of our history and the memories that are made to last for a lifetime.”

down the owners and eventually got them to sell him the property, as well as the one next door.

He petitioned the town for a new ordinance that would allow for adaptive reuse of historical properties, a designation that allows old properties to be used for a different reason than originally intended. The ordinance not only allowed Fidanza to convert 322 Center Street into a restaurant but also paved the way for other historical homes to be adapted and preserved. A passionate advocate for the preservation of Jupiter’s history, Fidanza founded the Jupiter Historical Society in 2016 and was very committed to preserving the history of The Sims House.

After four years of careful renovations, The Sims House restaurant opened in 2021. Inside the original glass-paned front doors, those in the know can now experience the 100-year-old history of The Sims House, including its original floors and fireplace and copies of a 1912 land deed signed by President William Taft that was found in the attic during renovation.

The Sims House kitchen is helmed by Executive Chef Francisco Landin, formerly of Tabica Grill.

Fidanza was able to recruit the chef and acquire the restaurant’s muchloved recipes after the popular

Vodka lovers rejoice: there’s an innovative new brand in the world, and it’s made not from wheat, corn, or potato but from the wondrous agave plant.

The brains behind Weber Ranch Vodka is Jupiter resident Ed Brown, who was CEO of Patrón Spirits for more than 20 years. “I have a deep appreciation and love for agave,” says Brown. “It’s a noble plant that truly creates an extraordinary spirit. So when my partners and I started to look at ideas for creating something new and truly disruptive in the spirits space, it was natural to consider what could be done with agave. It’s been a long time since there was any meaningful innovation or true disruption in the vodka category, and that’s when the light bulb went off.” Brown pitched the idea to his partners at Round 2 Spirits, and the team got to work.

Agave is widely recognized as a healthier base than traditional grain bases, with a lower glycemic index and naturally free of gluten, carbs, and additives. Plus, says Brown, the plant “imparts a subtle sweetness and creates a silky smoothness without any aftertaste or bite.”

To make Weber Ranch Vodka, the team distills 100 percent Blue Weber agave in Jalisco, Mexico, then imports it to the Weber Ranch Distillery in Texas, where it is further distilled by master distiller Antonio Rodriguez before being filtered and bottled.

With a natural flavor of fresh, bright citrus and tropical fruit from the agave, Weber Ranch Vodka is perfect on its own. But if you’d prefer to mix a cocktail, Brown suggests using the vodka in a classic martini, ranch water, or paloma.

Weber Ranch Vodka is making its way across Florida and the nation. To find out where to purchase it near you, visit weberranch.com. —Michelle Lee Ribeiro

VETERANS FROM NEAR AND FAR HEAD TO JUPITER TO SWIM WITH SHARKS AND CELEBRATE INDEPENDENCE DAY

ince 2017, local veterans from all branches of the military have gathered on July 4 to take a brave plunge about 4 miles offshore in Jupiter, coming face-to-face with sharks. The dive is part of an annual event hosted by the Jupiter-based Shark Addicts ecotourism company, in partnership with the Wounded Veterans Relief Fund.

“We do this to give back to the veterans and celebrate America’s birthday,” says Shark Addicts cofounder Mickey Smith.

Participants include Purple Heart recipients, amputees, and vets who suffer from PTSD and traumatic brain injuries—even U.S Congressman and army veteran Brian Mast of Fort Pierce has taken the plunge. “It not only helps me with my shark fix, but it also gives me and the other veterans the chance to get back into the brotherhood,” says retired army sergeant Mike Cain, who was injured in Iraq and travels from Virginia for the annual dive. “Being able to spend time with other military veterans helps me mentally.”

As resilient as servicemen and women are, they still get the jitters before diving with sharks. “It is unnatural for humans to jump into shark-infested waters,” says Mike Durkee, executive director of the Wounded Veterans Relief Fund. “But once they are in, it is peaceful and amazing. It’s a bonding experience, and they are accomplishing a mission that takes guts.” sharkaddictsjupiter.com; wvrf.org ❖

he City of Port St. Lucie was recently ranked the fifth fastestgrowing city in America by the U.S. Census Bureau, and the population isn’t the only thing growing. The city recently scored a $1 million grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service’s Urban and Community Forestry Program to greenify the city with new trees.

Over the next four years, 700 native trees will be planted along transportation corridors, at key development sites, and on private property. “The grant focuses on areas of greatest need to expand the tree canopy and provide increased access to nature,” says Shereese Snagg, project coordinator for Urban Beautification for the City of Port St. Lucie.

The trees will not only add beauty and provide shade, but they will also help reduce carbon emissions, dampen urban noise, cool temperatures, and provide habitat for animals. Snagg says they will be planting a mix of flowering trees and bushes including native oaks, the species most requested by residents.

To water and help maintain the trees, five members of the Boys & Girls Clubs of St. Lucie County will serve as “urban forestry youth apprentices” every summer, learning about project management, procurement, tracking, tree species selection, planting, and tree growth along the way. —Paige Feigenbaum SE PTEM B ER 2 0 2 4

ike a phoenix, new life rises from the ashes following prescribed burns. These controlled fires are intentionally set and closely monitored by a county’s environmental resources department to prevent natural wildfires that could harm our environment and wildlife.

When an area is overgrown with vegetation, it is prone to wildfires, which can cause catastrophic destruction if ignited by lightning, a downed power line, or even a cigarette butt. As a preventative measure, counties conduct controlled burns, since charred and ashy environments are unlikely to reignite.

“Controlled burns remove accumulated dead vegetation, promoting the growth of new plants and rejuvenating habitats,” explains Ethan Brooks, natural resource management specialist at the St. Lucie County Environmental Resources Department. “They also play a crucial role in managing invasive species, controlling weeds, and reducing the risk of wildfires.”

Clockwise from top left: the wetlands at Pine Glades Natural Area after a prescribed burn; a helicopter ignition team in Jupiter Farms; cooling down a hot spot at Hungryland Slough Natural Area; gearing up for a burn at Indrio Savannahs Preserve.

Clockwise from top left: starting a fire at Pine Glades Natural Area; preparing aerial ignition spheres in Jupiter Farms; containing a controlled burn at Indrio Savannahs Preserve; sandhill cranes forage at a recently burned pine flatwoods habitat at Loxahatchee Slough Natural Area.

County officials have certain sites on a set interval burn rotation, each burn authorized by the Florida Forest Service before it is executed. “We’re doing what Mother Nature used to do but in a more controlled manner,” says Harper Carroll, fire manager for Palm Beach County Environmental Resources Management.

“Florida is actually the prescribed fire capital of the world, and California and Australia look to us as the model.”

Carroll says areas like pine flatwoods, savannas, scrub, marshes, and swamps are burned around every three years, while Brooks has various locations on a burn rotation of every one to 10 years, depending on habitat, and Martin County aims to perform burns at most locations every three years.

Here’s how it works: officials first conduct a test fire to make sure it behaves as anticipated. They then create a perimeter by burning the outskirts or use natural fire breaks such as waterways, marshland, dirt roads, and sandy areas. To ignite a burn, officials use diesel and gas torches, as well as swamp buggies with flame throwers and electric torches. When burning a

very large acreage, they take an aerial approach, dropping “dragon eggs” that resemble Ping-Pong balls from a helicopter.

Suppression crews are present with 300-gallon water tanks to hose down any sparks that may go awry. Prescribed burns are typically left to smolder and naturally fizzle out, but if there is concern that sparks might jump the line, mop-up crews will extinguish the fire with water and the forest service is called in to do a tractor plow. Officials take safety precautions to minimize smoke from impacting nearby schools, roadways, hospitals, and residential communities.

As for wildlife, animals are very smart and can sense the fire and know where to seek safe shelter until it burns out. For example, sandhill cranes build nests on a mound surrounded by water in wetlands, which acts as a fire break. Within 24 hours of the fire, they return to the area to forage for insects.

After a couple of weeks and rainfalls, new growth begins, and other animals such as deer return for a feast. ❖

UPCOMING BURNS Prescribed fires are dependent on factors such as temperature, wind direction and speed, humidity, dispersion index, and rainfall, so it is impossible to commit to a specific date. Carroll relies on forecasts from the National Weather Service the morning of a planned burn to decide whether the mission is a go or needs to be scrubbed. He says he hopes to burn a nearly 300-acre site in Cypress Creek north of Jupiter Farms Road before year’s end.

In Martin County, burns are planned for Mapp Creek Preserve, Hawks Hammock Preserve, and Halpatiokee Park when conditions are appropriate. In St. Lucie County, Brooks says he hopes substantial rainfall by fall will allow for prescribed burns in preserves such as Indrio Savannahs, Walton Scrub, Bluefield, and Cypress Creek.

ead out to Jupiter or Juno Beach on any sunny day, and you’ll be greeted by a colorful array of sails stretched out across the blues skies along our coastline. If you’re lucky, somewhere among the sailing enthusiasts skimming across the ocean you’ll spot U.S. Olympian Markus Edegran. You’ll have to look quickly though: traveling at a pace of up to 50 miles per hour, he’s hard to keep up with.

In January, 30-year-old Edegran beat out a field of Americans to win the U.S. Olympic Trials in Miami. Then in April, he placed fourth at the Last Chance Regatta in France, qualifying him for a spot on the U.S. Olympic Sailing Team (men’s kiteboarding is categorized as one of the 10 sailing events). Formula Kite was added as an Olympic sport for the first time this year, making Edegran the first American ever to compete in the men’s category. (Californian Daniela Moroz was the kiteboarder on the women’s team.) In August, Edegran took to the Mediterranean, competing for the gold at the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics.

The journey to the Olympics was decades in the making

for Edegran, who began sailing on the Hudson River in New York when he was 8 years old as well as in South Florida, where his family had a vacation home at the time. “My dad grew up sailing, so I was put in summer camp on the water,” he recalls. He started competing when he was 11, sailing an Optimist. Commonly known as an Opti, the small, single-handed dinghy is one of the most popular boats for youth sailing competitions.

Throughout his youth, Edegran progressed to different levels of competition, sailing 420, FJ, and ILCA class boats. After graduating from high school in 2012, he spent two years on the intercollegiate sailing team at the United States Naval Academy in Maryland, where he competed with his older brother, Lukas, now a Navy pilot. Edegran transferred to St. Mary’s College of Maryland in 2014 and joined its sailing team, graduating in 2016 with a degree in economics and moving to South Florida full-time.

In 2015, his brother had introduced him to kiteboarding, and the two would board together from time to time. For Edegran, it was just another fun sport for a while. But as soon as he heard kiteboarding was going to be added to the 2024 Olympics, he set his sights on earning a spot on the U.S. team.

He began training with other kiteboarders, often hitting our local beaches but rotating to different locations every few weeks to experience various seas and weather conditions. On a typical day, he’d spend two or three hours on the water, a couple of hours in the gym, then watch videos of his performance to debrief and figure out what he needed to adjust. The hard work paid off: in 2020, he became the top U.S. kiteboarder, finishing sixth at the worldwide

ALLISON CHENARD

Hydrofoil Pro Tour, and placed first in a couple of domestic tournaments in 2021 and 2022. Earning a spot at the 2024 Paris Olympics is the latest achievement for Edegran, who is currently ranked fourth in the world. “I’m proud to represent the country at this debut for kiteboarding as a sport,” he says.

When we caught up with Edegran for this story back in May, he was still home in Florida preparing for Paris, hitting the local beaches with the many kiteboarders he’s gotten to know over the years. “You see the same people, who come whenever they can squeeze in some time,” he says of the local kiting community. “Everyone shares the same passion.

It’s pretty cool.” markusedegran.com ❖ SE PTEM B ER 2 0 2 4

iden Natalie’s deep love of fishing and boating began at a very early age. As a youngster, the now 23-year-old Stuart native spent a great deal of time fishing locally and island-hopping with his family on their 41-foot Intrepid cabin model. However, it wasn’t until the family traded the boat for a 30-foot Cobia center console that a career path would emerge from his obsession.

While in high school, Natalie took great pride in maintaining the family vessel to the highest standard. From detailing and polishing to systems maintenance, he always kept her running and looking tip-top—enough so that his father entrusted his teenage son to take the boat on solo fishing outings with friends.

Natalie spent many a memorable day on the water with his father, Bill, as the two shared an intense interest in fishing. Sadly, his dad lost his battle with cancer a year ago. He left the family boat to his son, and Natalie continued his pursuit of boating and fishing, taking the knowledge he S E P T E MBER 2 0 2 4

Whether it’s working the deck with any number of local fishing teams, helping organize local fishing tournaments, working with local boating manufacturers, or simply fishing for fun with friends, Natalie is deeply entrenched in boating on many levels. Currently residing in Palm City, he is part of the team at Deep See Visuals, where he works as a filmmaker, editor, and media strategist devoted to promoting and marketing within the boating and fishing industry.

In his spare time, he can often be found offshore fishing on the faithful vessel that he once enjoyed with his father—the Cobia 296CC center console. The boat (a model that the company has since replaced with the 301CC) has been appropriately outfitted to suit Natalie’s requirements primarily

In this humble Charleston home reimagined as a restaurant, the dining room is cozy (creaky floors and all), the menu changes daily, and the food is out of this world. Think European comfort food, the type you might discover in a village in the South of France or in Spain’s Basque region.

The king of the barbecue scene is undoubtedly John Lewis, whose Lewis Barbecue is an altar to Texas-inflected smoky excess. Pitmaster Lewis is serious about his craft (the dude even welded his own smokers), and it shows in specialties like his USDA Prime brisket and Texas Hot Guts sausage, both of which are institutions in this town.

EDITOR’S MENTION:

Sub Love

Floridians are known to boast about the “Pub sub,” those tasty heroes sold at Publix supermarkets across the state. But locally, in this editor’s opinion, there’s no better place for a deli sandwich than The Connection. The Jupiter establishment has been serving up delicious subs and hot sandwiches on Center Street for 50 years, plus a variety of salads and daily soups. It’s always so nice to see the smiling faces of all the ladies (shout out to Denise, Heather, and Milly!) and owner Charlie behind the counter. Happy 50th anniversary, Connection! jupitersubsherosgrinders.com —Michelle Lee Ribeiro

EDITOR’S MENTION:

Hello, Gorgeous!

Whenever I need a new fit for an event, I know exactly where I’m headed: Alfredo Barraza.

The Jupiter boutique is my go-to for both party dresses and casual looks, and I always find something unique when I stop in. The store was founded by Colombian designer Alfredo and his niece, Ana Tyson, who is usually there daily and fills the boutique with the best pieces. Keep in mind, most of the items are one-of-a-kind, so if you see something you like, scoop it up before it’s gone because you aren’t likely to find it again. (It also means you won’t run into anyone at an event wearing the same look.) alfredobarrazaboutique. com —Michelle Lee Ribeiro

Hutchinson Island is named for the Hawaiian word for “family”—not just blood relatives but extending to a communal love. At Ohana, the Schwartz family have created not just a surf shop but also a cool gathering place for the community they love.

The recent spike in birdwatching popularity among millennials and Gen Xers has made the nature-based hobby a hit with all ages. And thanks to our location within the Great Florida Birding and Wildlife Trail, Martin County has become a mecca for birding.

“Martin County is wonderful for birding because birds need unspoiled land to thrive in, and our county has made it a priority to maintain natural habitats,” says John Nelson, chapter president of Audubon of Martin County. At Indian Riverside Park in Jensen Beach, Peck Lake Park in Hobe Sound, and Clifton S. Perry Beach on Hutchinson Island, you can catch site of the majestic osprey, a massive native raptor that resembles a bald eagle. And the Florida scrub jay, a bird exclusive to the Sunshine State with a striking blue coat, can be spied at Jonathan Dickinson State Park, which has recorded nearly 140 species of birds in the area including various species of woodpeckers. audubonofmartincounty.org—Nila Do Simon

the challenging landscape keeps golfers coming back to try and master the links.

With its sweet and smoky notes, this boozy blend has all the creamy and aromatic components necessary to elevate any pool day

Tiki culture has captivated the imaginations of cocktail enthusiasts for decades. With their kitschy glassware and lavish garnishes, these tropical libations have been transporting us to a land of sunny escapades and palm-fringed beaches since the 1930s.

What started as a fascination with Polynesian culture and exotic escapism has sparked a second wave of modern tiki cocktails.

This recent resurgence honors the original flavors while incorporating contemporary techniques and artisanal ingredients, breathing new life into a nostalgic cocktail genre made famous so many years ago by such institutions as Don the Beachcomber and Trader Vic’s.

Celebrate the indelible charm of tiki culture with these five recipes.

Add all ingredients to a blender with ice. Blend

for 10 seconds and pour into your favorite vessel or coconut shell. Sprinkle with matcha powder and garnish with toasted coconut and kiwi slices.

Bird of Paradise Originally served as a welcome drink at the Aviary Bar at the Hilton Hotel in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, the halfcentury-old Jungle Bird tiki drink brings together the unexpected punch of Campari, rum, and pineapple. This riff replaces the rum with a bolder bourbon that is then softened with exotic notes of passion fruit.

INGREDIENTS 1 ½ oz. Four Roses bourbon 1 ½ oz. fresh pineapple juice ¾ oz. Campari

1 oz. fresh lemon juice ¾ oz. passion fruit syrup (passion fruit purée and simple syrup) Pineapple leaves for garnish

«

To make the passion fruit syrup, combine two parts passion fruit purée and one part simple syrup.

Shake to combine and store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.

Add all ingredients to a mixing tin, shake with ice, then fine-strain into a glass. Garnish with pineapple leaves.

SEA The ocean is like a big blue heart that connects all living creatures.We must protect STORY it for the sake of our own survival. — Eugenie Clark Contrails & Crepuscular Rays 60” x 84””

Jane Lawton Baldridge Baldridge’s first source of inspiration is the myriad shades of blue and turquoise found in the sea. “I can stare at it for days,” she says. She’s also intrigued by the water’s motion.

“My favorite lullaby has always been the lapping of the waves on the shore or the side of the hull.”

Even the “classic” dishes on the menu pack a special punch. “When you read our menu, it may sound very familiar,” says Patel. “But when you eat, there are a lot of flavor bombs.”

The chef says he leaned into his Syrian-born partner’s background.

Alkassar spent part of his childhood in Madrid and ran restaurants in Dubai, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia before moving to the United States. “Mo told me about his favorite dishes from childhood, and I recreated them how I saw it through his eyes,” Patel says. “He sent me grainy footage of lamb chops he grew up eating in Spain, and my butcher and I dissected it and tried different cuts of lamb

and thicknesses. I created a rub that’s a little smoky and salty and blends spices including cumin, coriander, paprika, and dry mustard.”

Many of the ingredients used in NiMo’s open-concept kitchen are grown on Patel’s residential farm in Homestead, and he and Alkassar take great pride in presentation—so prepare to be wowed.

“You first eat and drink with your eyes,” says Patel. “We put emphasis on our presentation of everything.” That includes decadent desserts like the 12-component Sundae Circus and the Instaworthy signature sangria and NiMorita (their take on a margarita). nimoeats.com ❖

f you’re looking for a new place to hang out in Stuart, 999 Lounge Bar—named for numerology’s “angel number”—is it. Open late-night till 2 a.m. daily, the unique spot opened in January with an array of alcoholic and nonalcoholic beverages, light bites, comfy seating, plenty of games, and live music.

A highlight here is the extensive wine list, offering selections from countries including the United States, Italy, France, Georgia, and Moldova.

“What’s unique about our wines is that they use some very ancient winemaking techniques,” says manager Vadim Formozal. “They aren’t full of sulfites and don’t have added sugars,” he adds, which can help minimize headaches and hangovers. There are also more than 20 margarita flavors available, plus bottled beer and seltzers. And for coffee lovers, an Italian espresso machine cranks out luscious lattes and macchiatos—or an espresso martini, if something stronger suits your taste.

Plush leather couches and swinging egg chairs provide seating for playing cards, chess, or board games, or taking a toke from a hookah. And live entertainment includes a Texas Hold’em tournament on Tuesdays, karaoke on Thursdays, live music and a deejay on Fridays and Saturdays, a car show on Saturdays, comedy on Sundays, and the occasional line dancing night. loungebar stuart.com —Paige Feigenbaum
