Every day for the past two years, I’ve been watching One West Palm being built at the north end of the downtown area, around the corner from Palm Beach Illustrated’s offices. This part of the city has historically had less robust building activity—but all that is changing. With major projects like this, plus the evolution of new “districts” at Clear Lake, Currie Park, and the North Railroad Avenue area (Nora), West Palm Beach is growing beyond the traditional hot spots of Clematis Street and Flagler Drive. If you don’t think our city is becoming a major metropolitan area, I invite you to look up at the assembly of cranes crowding the skyline, and then turn to page 104 for Skye Sherman’s excellent report, “Tomorrow Land.” It’s staggering to consider how…

We have all heard that eating too much meat is bad for us. In fact, the International Agency for Research on Cancer has found that regularly consuming processed meats can increase one’s risk of developing certain cancers by 18 percent. This is compounded by deficits in healthy eating practices. According to a report issued by the National Cancer Institute on the Standard American Diet, three out of four Americans don’t eat a single piece of fruit in a day and nine out of 10 don’t reach the recommended daily intake of vegetables. Furthermore, 96 percent of Americans don’t achieve the minimum weekly recommendation for greens and beans, and 99 percent do not reach the minimum for whole grains. The most shocking statistic about the average American’s diet is that 70…

When Palm Beachers lunch, or meet up for drinks, or enjoy an alfresco dinner under the hanging garden, chances are you’ll find them at Swifty’s. The quintessential Palm Beach spot, known here as “the club without dues,” was New York’s society boîte for almost two decades. Many of the same elements that defined the original Swifty’s are making its Palm Beach outpost a dining and social destination. Much of this is owed to the charm of founder Robert Caravaggi and the talent of executive chef Tom Whitaker, who has revived the beloved Swifty’s classics—with a Palm Beach twist. From the clubby indoor/outdoor ambience to the iconic dining delights, Swifty’s has earned its reputation as Palm Beach’s restaurant.…

Wellington resident Everett Allard has a tasty future ahead of him. In November, Allard placed third in the 2022 Lunchroom Wars, the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services’ statewide cooking competition.

How did you get your big break into fashion? Badgley: We both got great jobs right out of school; I was at Donna Karan, James was at WilliWear and Yves Saint Laurent in menswear. We decided to start our own company because we were already working so hard, we thought we should do it for ourselves. Mischka: We always wanted to make clothes for our friends to wear—Mark’s twin sister is a major muse for us—and people responded. We had features in Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar, Barneys and Bergdorf Goodman bought the first collection, and we won a few awards. Then Hollywood’s red carpet noticed us, and things really took off. What is the best part about designing as a duo? Mischka: It’s been great because we can literally be…

The month of February is high season for galas, giving, and get-togethers. Events to benefit worthy causes are as much a part of the year-round Palm Beach environment as ocean breezes. Before my wife, Lauren, and I decamped from Miami for Palm Beach two years ago, galas were a challenge. Changing from business attire into tuxedos and gowns at the Palm Beach Illustrated offices was no small feat. I know, cry me a river! Palm Beach Illustrated has long partnered with organizations large and small that provide important services for some of the county’s most deserving residents. Evening events in February such as galas for American Heart, the Palm Beach Symphony, and Maltz Jupiter Theatre keep the nighttime glamorous and these organizations thriving. February also signals the return of the annual…

Living in the shadow of Nobel Prize–winning author Ernest Hemingway—and her famous family’s tragic history of alcoholism, mental illness, and suicide—Academy Award–nominated actor and author Mariel Hemingway is writing a brave new chapter in her family’s legacy. To help raise awareness about mental illness and abuse, Hemingway will serve as keynote speaker for the Alpert Jewish Family Service’s annual No Excuse for Abuse event at the Kravis Center in West Palm Beach February 5. PBI recently caught up with her to discuss her advocacy. (alpertjfs.org) PBI: What prompted your mental health advocacy? Hemingway: I grew up watching a family that was completely amazing and creative but also incredibly destructive, self-medicating, and riddled with depression, alcoholism, and suicide. They were all addicts, and nobody talked about anything. I didn’t want to…

Celebrate National Pizza Day February 9 with a visit to Tavern Pi in Jupiter. The brainchild of David Schroeder—the owner of Jupiter’s Brick & Barrel Gastropub—Tavern Pi embraces the idea of Chicago thin-crust pizza, with classic Italian appetizers, pastas, and entrees as well as creative craft cocktails rounding out the menu. Chef Thomas Op’t Holt notes that while the Windy City may have a reputation for deep dish, Chicago thin-crust pizza, known as tavern pie, can be found at bars across the metropolis. “Most people think that Chicagoland only eats deep-dish pizza, but that is not the case,” says Op’t Holt. “Most Chicago pizzerias serve this thin, crispy, cracker-like crust and then cut it into squares. We love being a destination that offers this in Palm Beach County, and what…

For Grace Gillespie, fitness is a way of life. A veteran of fitness competitions since 2009, Gillespie previously owned a gym and juice bar in Ohio. She notes that her clients would often come to her with one question: “I’m going to drink—don’t tell me not to—what’s the best option?” This prompt inspired her to develop Muscle Vodka, which she launched in 2017 using a distillery out of Tampa. In July 2022, having relocated to the Stuart area, Gillespie founded Muscle Craft Distillery, Martin County’s first and only distillery and one of just a handful of women-owned distilleries in the country. “I wanted to be able to make all of my own products, handcraft everything, and expand my brand,” she says of the move. Gillespie’s flagship vodka is non-GMO, lowcal,…

According to a study conducted by Mood Media, 75 percent of all emotions generated every day are due to smell. It’s perhaps one of the reasons why more and more luxury hotels are developing signature fragrances and why the concept of home scenting has flourished in recent years. Here’s a cheat sheet on how to cultivate a desired mood in your home’s primary spaces. THREE TECHNIQUES 1. Burning scented candles, such as those by Boynton Beach–based Wax Buddha (waxbuddha.com) is an easy way to scent a room with the bonus of instant ambience. Mixologist Courtney Siegel and food product creator Robin Alpert founded the company during the pandemic, combining their expertise and creativity to create artisan candles in signature scents such as Good Vibes Only, a blend of sage, palo santo,…

GET YOUR GOAT When it comes to therapy animals, goats may actually be the “greatest of all time.” “Goats have an ancient relationship with humans,” explains Manish Sood. “They were one of the first animals to be domesticated and, hence, goats are considered precise in reading, understanding, and reflecting human emotion.” Sood and his wife—both engineers with expertise in neuroscience, behavioral health, and wellness technologies—own and operate the 10-acre 24 Karat Ranch in Loxahatchee Groves. Together, they offer a variety of goatcentric programs, including yoga with miniature variety baby goats. Sood explains that the benefits of goat yoga are threefold: the friendly interaction with the little goats has been found to promote the release of serotonin, prolactin, and oxytocin, hormones that play a part in improving behavioral and physical health;…

POINTE & SHOOT Peer behind the curtain and into the lives of renowned dance artists and institutions in “Carasmatic: Through the Lens of a Dancer,” currently on view on the second floor of the Cohen Pavilion at the Kravis Center in West Palm Beach. Acclaimed photographer and dancer Steven Caras’ photographic archive chronicles more than 40 years’ worth of seldom-seen moments, thanks to his mentor George Balanchine’s encouragement to capture all aspects of the New York City Ballet’s inner workings and activities. The result is one of the world’s most comprehensive dance photography catalogues, ranging from stills of magnificent performances to intimate moments with dance legends—including a shot of Balanchine’s final curtain call with the New York City Ballet. Familiar faces captured by Caras and his trusty Olympus film camera…

In theory, parents have come a long way in the work-life-balance conundrum. But in practice, it sometimes still feels like we have to choose. Boca Raton’s first family-friendly co-working space puts the best of both worlds under one roof by combining child care and co-working sessions. Child & Co. opened in October and offers hourly private offices—complete with stylish wallpapers and backgrounds created with lengthy Zoom calls in mind—alongside spaces where children under 4 can learn and play nearby. Inspired by their own personal and professional needs, husband-and-wife team Adrienne and Joseph Paolini founded Child & Co. in order to give families an option beyond the traditional work and child care paradigm. Child & Co. offers drop-in child care (with staff trained in CPR, first aid, and AED use), a…

Aperire, Aprire, Aperitivo The aperitivo is having a moment stateside. Rising from humble medicinal beginnings, the Italian bitter is now both a drink and a cultural phenomenon. Roughly translated as “opener” or “to open,” aperitivo refers to an often bitter, herbal, low-alcoholic, pre-dinner drink. Here’s a fresh take on the cocktail du jour. SBAGLIATO ROSA 1 oz. Cappelletti Americano Rosso1 oz. Cocchi Americano Rosa½ tsp. rose water Sparkling rosé, to top » Combine all ingredients in a mixing glass over ice and stir until chilled. Strain into a rocks glass over ice. Top with sparkling rosé and garnish with a grapefruit peel and gold flakes. » For a cocktail in an ice cube: Prepare the ice mold by filling it with water and freezing for 3 hours. Pop the cube…

As the founder and president of public relations firm Altima Palm Beach, Maribel Alvarez knows a thing or two about luxury goods. With more than a decade of experience repping elite caviar brands, she decided to throw her hat into the ring and launched Altima Caviar this past fall. Alvarez and Graham Gaspard, the former president of Black River Caviar, are sourcing from the world’s most exclusive and sustainable farms, resulting in such high-end offerings as premium grades of Russian Oscietra farmed in Israel’s Galilee region. And, to ensure consistency, every tin of Altima Caviar includes the eggs from a single fish. It is available for purchase at Mary Mahoney on Worth Avenue and Cod & Capers in North Palm Beach, as well as at Bice Ristorante on Palm…

This sultry spritz with hints of bright berries and tropical passion fruit is a modern twist on the bittersweet aperitivo, a cultural phenomenon that started back in eighteenth-century Piedmont. It rose in popularity in part thanks to King Victor Emmanuel II, who chose the local spiced wine known today as vermouth as his sip of choice. Aperitivi prime the appetite, but this spritz may just put you in the mood for more. Bittersweet Passion Ingredients 5 fresh raspberries1 ½ oz. Berto Bitter Aperitivo½ oz.

The act of growing, brewing, and drinking herbal tea is a process that soothes the body and mind. While I tend to drink tea throughout the day, the cup I cherish h most is the last—the one I sip as the day winds down and I move slowly through my nighttime skin routine before finally settling in with a book. That being said, there are few things I love more than wandering through the garden with my daughter, Savi, and picking herbs for our tea. In the morning, we go for mint or tulsi, with Savi taking hers with milk and honey from our beehive. Come evening, tulsi is still a go-to, but chamomile enters the picture too. The ritual of preparing tea creates a portal, carving out a space…
