Though she’s spent the last eight years in the spotlight as mayor of West Palm Beach, Jeri Muoio is a self-described introvert. Originally from Buffalo, New York, Muoio grew up with a silent confidence and a will to achieve that her father instilled in her. But politics? That just wasn’t on her radar. She pursued a career in education, earning a doctorate from Syracuse University and working as a school district leader. It was in this capacity that Muoio unlocked a passion for the public sector. After relocating to South Florida, she became interested in city politics, though she was less than thrilled at the prospect of running a campaign. “The only time I ever ran for anything was my college sorority president, and I lost,” she recalls with a…

Dr. Anne C. Fischer is board-certified in general surgery and pediatric surgery. She has practiced medicine for 20 years and specializes in minimally invasive pediatric general and thoracic surgery for newborns, infants, toddlers, and children. She’s delighted to be working at the Palm Beach Children’s Hospital at St. Mary’s Medical Center because of the breadth of specialists there and the focus on pulling a team together. “Pediacentric, multidisciplinary programs ensure that physicians are aware of the latest innovations and can use them,” she says. “Children don’t always get the financial commitment that’s needed to do that. I’m passionate about quality care, and there is a joy to taking care of children and bringing them to a state-of-the-art medical center.” Both of Fischer’s parents were physicians, and she decided on pediatric…

The Swiss are way ahead of us in the comfort food department, thanks to a glorious assortment of flavorful, high-fat cheeses. One of those—raclette, a semihard cow’s milk cheese similar to Gruyère—gave birth to a signature dish of the same name. To make traditional raclette, an open fire or grill heats the wheel until the cheese is soft, at which point it’s scraped onto a plate and garnished with fingerling potatoes, cornichons, and pickled pearl onions. The practice dates back to the Middle Ages, when cow herders traveled with wheels of cheese and roasted them by the campfire at night. One of the best places to find an authentic interpretation locally is at Pistache’s Raclette Night, hosted monthly during season. In addition to ordering the standard version as an appetizer,…

Boca Bacchanal, the annual celebration of food and wine held at the Boca Raton Resort & Club and other local venues, returns for its seventeenth year April 4-6. In addition to an array of chefs and some of the most celebrated vintners from California and France, the festival is offering new events designed to captivate first-timers and regulars alike.

A successful interior designer is judged upon his or her ability to articulate a client’s vision and personality. But what happens when there are no clients and no rules? That was the opportunity afforded to the 22 design firms that participated in this year’s Kips Bay Decorator Show House Palm Beach. Each was presented with a room within a massive West Palm Beach home to do with as they pleased. PBI spoke with two of the bedroom designers to discover their approach to creating spaces that are anything but a snooze.

New York–Style Cheesecake, Darbster Cheesecake devotees would put the version at this vegan bistro up against Manhattan’s best. The soy-based cream cheese and tofu cake hits all of the same notes as the classic, while the walnut, oats, and shredded coconut crust adds a twist and a crunch. The berry compote on top lends the perfect amount of sweetness to this indulgent dish. West Palm Beach (darbster.com) Big Fat Oreo, Field of Greens If a cookie is going to one-up an Oreo, it’s got to be good.

Named for the year Palm Beach County was founded, 1909—a new addition to the downtown West Palm Beach scene and a twist on the “traditional” co-working space—is quickly becoming a hub for local entrepreneurs. Danielle Casey, the same visionary who helped fashion the groovy vibe at Elizabeth Ave. Station, worked with the rest of the 1909 team to create a comfortable environment for local talent to come and collaborate. “We launched 1909 because we believe now is the time to be the founder of something great,” says Casey. “Whether that means a new business, an art project, a social initiative, or a way of life, 1909 exists to guide passionate people toward making the most of their talent.” In pursuit of that goal, 1909 offers what they’ve coined “floworking” space…

There’s something so civilized about pausing in the afternoon to enjoy a cup of tea with cucumber sandwiches and a pastry (or three). Though it seems counterintuitive in a sunny, seaside setting, the English ritual has long been one of the main attractions at The Chesterfield, the Palm Beach outpost of its legendary London namesake. The reason, we’re told, is the focus on tradition: loose-leaf teas, scones baked according to an old recipe, tiny pastries on a three-tier stand (the mini fruit tarts are sublime), and British clotted cream. Add to that the warm atmosphere of the hotel’s library, complete with wood paneling, leather seating, and a fireplace, and you’ll wonder which side of the pond you’re on. The rooms and suites, each individually designed, give off the same vibe.…

Out of all the engagements and to-dos that fill Martha Stewart’s calendar, the South Beach Wine & Food Festival is one event she almost never misses. “I try to always get down here because I’m a foodie,” she says. “It’s an important event for everyone in the food world.” A mainstay of the festival since the mid-aughts, the domestic queen and business empress has hosted her fair share of parties and has been honored at tribute celebrations over the annual long weekend in February. This year, in addition to Miami, she found herself in other familiar surrounds: Palm Beach. Although she doesn’t own a home in Florida—“I think I made a mistake,” she laughs—she often visits friends who live here, including Lisbeth Barron, Dr. Mehmet Oz, and Charlotte Beers. As…

BATCH NEW SOUTHERN KITCHEN & TAP Owned by Kevin Danilo, this welcome addition to Clematis Street departs from the restaurateur’s other Batch eateries by focusing on the cuisine of the South, all made the way the region’s best cooks intended: from scratch. During brunch service on Saturdays and Sundays, the intoxicating scent of cast-iron baked pecan cinnamon rolls wafts through the air, preluding the indulgent meal ahead. For those craving something sweet, the s’mores waffle satisfies. Savory eaters will gravitate toward the Southern Crispy Chicken Breakfast, with a taste of fried chicken, sunny-side up eggs, sausage gravy, grits, and pecan wood–smoked bacon. Bottomless beverages are de rigueur, and Batch serves some of the best, like the fragrant ginger-peach white sangria and basil-infused Hillbilly 75, a drink that tastes so refreshing…

REINVENTING A CLASSIC Jennifer Knowles of Knowles Design set out to make this room as warm and welcoming as its view. “I wanted this to be a place to relax, put your feet up, and enjoy the beautiful and expansive view of the Intracoastal Waterway with downtown Palm Beach beyond,” says Knowles. “My approach was to use warm colors and textures framed with crisp white millwork and linen sheers. The effect is then punctuated by the introduction of black linear contrasts achieved through placement of the drapery hardware and ceiling details. The custom artwork reflects the warm weather and watery hues that are the backdrop for this gorgeous and livable Palm Beach space.” Boca Raton (knowlesdesignstudio.com) SPHERE OF INFLUENCE A fusion of earthly and celestial, this Sputnik-style Dunkirk chandelier ($1,754)…

Most people became aware of cryptocurrency following the meteoric rise of Bitcoin, the virtual money created on computers in 2009 as a speedy, alternative payment system free from government manipulation. The subsequent emergence of other digital currencies—now numbering well more than 1,000—has left some pondering whether it’s time to invest in this new sector. Cryptocurrency is loosely defined as digital money that has been developed or “mined” on the computer. It is intangible and all transactions take place online. There is typically a limited amount issued, as determined by each currency’s creator. Initially intended to be used as a quick, secure, and relatively anonymous form of payment, investors jumped on it—smelling an opportunity to make a quick buck in an emerging technology. But take heed: This is not your father’s…

Located in West Palm Beach’s burgeoning Warehouse District, Palm Beach Distillery stands alone as the only female-owned and -operated distillery in Florida. Founder Summer Piep worked as an accountant for 15 years before tiring of the humdrum and setting out to carve her own path in an industry that combined her love of chemistry and socializing. “I trained with a master distiller and it just came naturally,” she says. “Soon I was asking myself, ‘Why haven’t I done this forever?’ Alcohol is future-proof and recession-proof.” Now, instead of tallying taxes, she spends her days filtering, blending, and flavoring her line of vodka, rum, and gin. Lost Harbour Spirits is inspired by the stories of Old Florida, of sunken Spanish fleets and hidden treasure. Piep’s signature sip, Capistara, is an indulgent…

The only thing more colorful than Curaçao’s rainbow-coated streets? The island’s bold personality. Aruba’s lesser-known neighbor is a melting pot of cultures, styles, flavors, and bright hues, which together foster a Caribbean experience that’s anything but ordinary. Amble through Willemstad, the island’s historic waterfront capital to discover a mashup of Wynwood-style urban art alongside seventeenth-century Dutch Colonial architecture drenched in vibrant pastels. Eye-catching murals by noted local artists such as Francis Sling and Garrick Marchena interpret Curaçao’s living history, while surrounding structures reveal another side of the island’s cultural past and present. Sights like the oldest surviving synagogue in the Americas (circa 1730) and a daily floating market (comprising Venezuelan vendors docked in wooden boats along the waterfront) are as exciting as they are unexpected. Head north along the island’s…

Lamborghini’s Aventador SuperVeloce supercar comes with a 6.5-liter 740-hp V-12 nuclear reactor that can catapult from zero to 60 in 2.7 seconds. It has a top speed of 217 mph. In other words, it’s fast. As for carving curves, the Aventador delivers the kind of cornering forces pilots flying Navy F/A-18 Super Hornets will recognize. Braking? It’s the same deceleration experienced when driving into a brick wall. So far, so awesome. But try cruising up to Publix and loading a few rolls of Charmin and a six…

BARREL OF MONKS Bonded by an obsession with the Belgian beer-making tradition, Bill McFee, Keith DeLoach, and Matthew Saady founded Boca Raton–based Barrel of Monks in 2015 to put their touch on the country’s iconic ales. “It’s the most complex style of beer,” explains brewmaster McFee. “The yeast strains create all sorts of interesting flavors—like spicy, fruity, light, and mildly sweet, or dark and rich—without anything added.” Their passion for time-honored techniques and reverence for top-of-the-line ingredients has earned Barrel of Monks many followers and converts who seek a more refined ale. Find more than 10 beers on tap at the monastery-inspired tasting room, including cornerstones such as Quadraphonic, a rich Quadrupel ale, and Nuance, a crispy saison, as well as rotating seasonals like Blood Orange Bliss, a gose-style wheat…

For many, cancer is the most devastating diagnosis an individual can receive. Often it is made more onerous because, in order to receive state-of-the-art treatment from the finest doctors and to have access to clinical trials, patients have to travel long distances to metro areas. Fortunately, that is not true in Florida. Since 1984, Florida Cancer Specialists (FCS) has brought world-class medicine and hometown care to much of the state. With nearly 100 locations in its network, FCS provides patients with the finest care available close to home. FCS is the largest independent medical oncology/hematology practice in the United States. Its 230 physicians graduated from top universities and are consistently ranked nationally as “Top Doctors” by U.S. News & World Report. They’re supported by a staff of 220 nurse practitioners…

Dr. Kishore Dass is a board-certified radiation oncologist with 21st Century Oncology. He earned his medical degree from Loyola University and completed his residency in radiation oncology at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation.

Dr. Jonathan Waxman is board-certified in general surgery and cardiothoracic surgery. He’s practiced thoracic surgery since 2004, and his subspecialty is minimally invasive thoracic surgery.

After years of listening to clients’ pleas for a Palm Beach restaurant, celebrity chef Todd English has returned with a new namesake eatery, Todd’s by Todd English. The restaurant is a partnership with EmKo owner and artist Leo Koel and is situated in the building’s former Jereve space—although anyone who dined at Jereve would hardly recognize Todd’s. Gone are the checkered walls, red booths, and disjointed market and café. Instead a swanky barlounge area, anchored by a massive silver feline sculpture by Koel, greets guests. In the dining room, whitewashed finishes, sumptuous velvet seating, ample palm fronds, and candlelight exude a sexy Miami–meets–Palm Beach atmosphere. When he’s not globetrotting to visit his restaurants around the world, English can be found in the kitchen at Todd’s, where he puts out crowd-pleasers…

Inspired by her client’s international adventures and love of bold hues, Sarah St. Amour of St. Amour Interior Design incorporated pops of color and global influences into this Palm Beach Gardens home. “We used [the client’s] zest for life, affection for color, and unique pieces from her travels to create a space that embraces the distinct personality of this special woman,” says St. Amour. Here, furnishings purchased abroad, such as a cocktail table the owner found while on safari in Kenya, merge with items bought locally, like the cascading chandelier. In lieu of a traditional TV built-in, the designer opted for a more expressive and artistic statement, utilizing book-matched Calacatta marble as both a focal point and a backdrop for displaying worldly treasures.
