Over the holidays, I invited a couple of my team members to tea at the Flagler Museum as a fun way to usher in the new year. After tea—which was fabulous, by the way—we took a tour of Railcar No. 91, Henry Flagler’s private car while traveling on the Over-Sea Railroad. The degree of opulence in this locomotive palace got my wheels turning, and I begged the private affairs director, Lauren Perry, to let us use No. 91 for a photo shoot. As you can see in this issue, our friends at the Flagler generously granted the request, and we went about spinning a story about gentlemen’s Gilded Age–inspired style, starring five “Palm Beach Dandies”: Scott Diament, Michael Gregson Reinert, Aaron Menitoff, Jason Arbuckle, and our cover model, Simon Isaacs.…

PALETTE CLEANSER “Designers on the runway this season—whether it was New York, Milan, or Paris—really gravitated to this idea of neutrality: everything from white to camo, beige, khaki,” says Patel. Spring’s move toward new neutrals is popping up from a range of designers, Patel reports, from Prada to Brunello Cucinelli. NATURAL WONDERS Patel foresees a return to artisanal craftsmanship in the form of ready-to-wear crochet dresses, hand-woven straw bags, and shoes. “We’re seeing this trend of natural wonders coming through many of the accessories [and] collections this season,” she says. POUCH PUNCH Pouches are spring’s hottest handbag, and at the vanguard of the trend is Bottega Veneta, thanks to designer Daniel Lee. “This idea of the clutch and the pouch is really strong, and we’re seeing them in different shapes…

The first Superyacht Show Palm Beach, an invitation-only sector of the Palm Beach International Boat Show, will be held March 26-28 at temporary docks behind the Flagler Museum. Invitees will gain a chance to board multimillion-dollar superyachts away from the buzz of the main event. The show will display up to 12 of the world’s most luxurious vessels, ranging in length from 180 to 300 feet. In addition to exclusivity, the show will also offer ease of entry, notes Andrew Doole, president of U.S. Boat Shows for Informa. “Ingress and egress from the Flagler Museum is very easy: cars pull up to the front, [there’s a] short walk through the incredible Grand Hall, and then out the back of the museum to the yachts,” says Doole.

A St. Louis native and Palm Beach regular, Carolyne Roehm is a renowned tastemaker, author, and design maven whose multifaceted career has spanned fashion, interiors, gardens, and entertaining. Nowadays she derives her cardinal joy from creating bracelets, cuffs, necklaces, earrings, and belts in support of her love of animals. In collaboration with New York–based Ciner, Roehm launched her second jewelry line, “The Birds & the Bees,” with all proceeds from the made-to-order items benefiting animal shelters across the country. Roehm, who studied fine art at Washington University in St. Louis, conceived the collection while recovering from a serious illness in 2019, and named her new charitable initiative Going to the Dogs after the experience.

Northwood Villager Ben Katzaman first visited Ubud on the Indonesian island of Bali in 2014 to apprentice under furniture designer Walker Zabriskie. It was during one of his afternoon motorbike rides, lost in the rice terraces, that Katzaman met a group of carvers and the idea for Wanderer Bracelets was born. Today his social enterprise employs 150 artisans in that same village, and Katzaman spends two to six months each year at his home in Tampaksiring. Apart from work, Katzaman’s Bali days—which usually begin watching the sunrise over Mount Batur with Luna and Susu, his rescue dogs—are spent enjoying the slower pace. “Popularized by movies like Eat, Pray, Love and nearly every influencer on Instagram, Bali’s magic is no longer a secret,” says Katzaman, “but there is still plenty to…

TRY YOUR HAND AT THESE HOMEGROWN RECIPES AT PALMBEACHILLUSTRATED.COM/GARDENTOGLASS THE PARCHED PIG Cocktails: The Rhupari & Sweet Beets When The Parched Pig bar manager Katy Ziegler Galluccio wields a cocktail shaker, her creativity knows no bounds. A firm command over garden ingredients allows her to reinvent classics, like the Rhupari, a palatable play on a Negroni with strawberry-infused Waterloo Antique gin, rhubarb-infused Campari, Carpano Antica vermouth, and a trio of sassafras, orange, and aromatic bitters. Her Sweet Beets—composed of Singani 63 brandy, beet and hibiscus tea syrup, lemon juice, orange blossom water, and egg white—will instantly convert brandy skeptics. “It’s similar to a pisco sour, but this brandy is from Bolivia instead of Peru, so it’s fruitier and more floral,” she explains.

Rosemary Square’s newest wave of restaurant offerings brought diners a pearl this season. High Dive, a 180-seat eatery from Jeremy and Cindy Bearman of Oceano Kitchen in Lantana, showcases the possibilities of fruits de mer in a relaxed, nautical atmosphere. The seafaring journey begins at the raw bar (backed by an Italian tile mural of an octopus) and continues with menu items like Jeremy’s walu crudo, Fisherman’s Stew (pictured), and garganelli pasta with Key West shrimp, uni butter, and Scotch bonnets. It ends, of course, with Cindy’s desserts such as cinnamon cake doughnuts or the batter licking–inspired Goodie Bowl, divine creations worth coming ashore for.

When Tom Jordan arrived in Sonoma in 1972, the region was a backwater. Napa didn’t register on anyone’s radar at the time (the Paris Wine Tasting was still four years away), and its western neighbor was one of the last places connoisseurs looked for fine wine. Jordan, however, saw things differently. He made his money in the oil industry and understood geology. Plus, he had friends in Sonoma. When he discovered prune orchards on the property that was to become Jordan Vineyard & Winery, he knew it had potential. Jordan envisioned recreating the great wines of Bordeaux in the New World, and he started by building a château worthy of the Médoc. He hired André Tchelistcheff, “the dean of American winemaking,” to mentor rookie winemaker Rob Davis. When the inaugural…

Marjorie Waldo wants people to know how amazing women are. To get the message across, the president and CEO of Arts Garage in Delray Beach and her team designed a March lineup that commemorates Women’s History Month. In addition to showcasing awesome female musicians, comics, and artists, the programming will continue the conversation about artistic representation. “It is super important for organizations that have a platform to be as inclusive as they can and to celebrate the diversity of our community,” Waldo says. In addition to a “We Can Do It!” exhibition featuring works by three emerging women artists, Arts Garage will host female talent on its main stage all month long. On March 6, jazz vocalist Svetlana will present lush renditions of classic cinematic tunes from her second album,…

When Jim and Gaye Engel entertain, the result is a wellchoreographed occasion featuring a fresh, often home-cooked meal served atop an elegant table, followed by dancing or mingling under the stars on their home’s terrace overlooking Lake Worth. As with all seemingly effortless productions, preparations begin early. Up to a week before a formal dinner party at their French manor–style home in the estate section of Palm Beach, the table is set. “I love to create a beautiful, welcoming table with vibrant flowers, especially orchids, and Gaye loves to create wonderful cuisine,” says Jim. “For us, it’s divide and conquer,” adds Gaye. “How lucky are we that it’s fun for each of us?” Given this proclivity, when the two were asked to be one of the couples to host the…

Four years ago, Boca Raton native Christina Gambino embarked on a mission to hit the buzzer at the end of the American Ninja Warrior course. Her journey would constantly test the 4’11” former gymnast’s physical and mental fortitude. Along the way, she created Jumptwist Ninja Academy, a place for her to train locally and Palm Beach County’s only obstacle-based gym with ninja training for kids (2-15) and adults (16-plus). Ahead of her fourth attempt at the NBC competition, Gambino shares details on her training, her new gym, and how she maintains her warrior mindset. Boca Raton (jumptwistninja.com) PBI: What went into your initial training for American Ninja Warrior? Gambino: When I started training, I was going to the YMCA and working with a strength coach. I never touched an obstacle.…

All stories, no matter how specific, can reveal universal truths about ourselves and the world around us. That’s at least one of the themes within Waking Kya, a onewoman play about a Sierra Leonean refugee. Fort Lauderdale–based LaFran Entertainment will stage Waking Kya at FAU’s University Theatre in Boca Raton March 7-8 in commemoration of Women’s History Month and International Women’s Day. Playwright Siobhan Fitzpatrick, who lives in Vero Beach, explains she’s always been drawn to women’s issues and wanted to shine a light on the hardships they face in refugee camps, including lack of food, poor sanitary conditions, emotional and physical abuse, and rape. “Eighty percent of refugees are women and children,” says Fitzpatrick. She adds that, with the influx of coverage of recent refugee crises, it’s easy to…
