“You Can’t Go Home Again”

This famous Thomas Wolfe title, "You Can't Go Home Again," has become a popular proverb, meaning what’s past remains in the past. As someone who grew up in Orlando, my most precious childhood memories center on the holiday season. For example:

• I can still feel the cold curb on my tush as I sat on Orange Ave. in the 1960s watching the Christmas parade. Dad always had to leave before events were over “to avoid the crazy traffic.” He made this one exception so his children wouldn’t miss seeing Santa Claus at the end of the parade.

• I remember the joy of marching in that same parade years later, as a teenager when I joined Stonewall Jackson Junior High School’s marching band with our beloved leader and band director, Mr. J. J. Walden.

• I have precious memories of attending Christmas eve services at Prince of Peace Lutheran Church. We would go to the early service as a family, but the midnight mass was a father-daughter event, as we sang in the choir. Every year in between services, Dad and I sat together at the Dunkin’ Donuts counter while we each had a donut, and dad chugged his coffee.

• Every season, our family would pile in our blue Ford and drive around Central Florida to enjoy the beautifully decorated homes. The season wasn’t official until we took that drive. Many things have changed since 1966. The Orlando parade still happens every year, and it’s better than ever. Stonewall Jackson Junior High School is now Roberto Clemente Middle School, and our cherished band director passed away years before his time. Prince of Peace still stands on the corner of Semoran Blvd. and Curry Ford Road, and even the Dunkin' Donuts is still there, albeit remodeled. And last year, my family continued the tradition and drove

around Orlando and Winter Park to marvel at the lights. What a spectacle!

I hear the same quotes all the time: “Orlando is too big; too much change.” “I miss old Orlando.”

I understand, but I also realize that the past always looks better to us through our rose-colored glasses. It’s important to honor the past and hold it near to our hearts. That doesn’t mean that I don’t love Orlando today; how far Orlando has come, how it’s held on to what makes it unique, but the thing I love most is how it has become a city for all people.

It’s Orlando magazine’s December edition, which means it’s time for our ever-popular Doctors issue. The quality of medical care in our community is astounding. When I was growing up, if one wanted top-notch medical care, one would have to travel to Tampa, New York, or Baltimore. Now people flock to Central Florida to get the very best care.

We just held our mid-term elections last month and have chosen our leaders. Whether you identify as red, blue, or purple, we’re all Orlandoans. As we navigate through precarious times, no matter your party affiliation, it’s up to us to strive to be the peaceful nation our founding fathers and mothers intended. In the words of Martin Luther King Jr., “The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice.”

Raising the Barre

Jorden Morris has ambitious goals for the future of Orlando Ballet.

JJORDEN MORRIS REMEMBERS WHEN HE WAS dancing in Amsterdam and saw a father and son walking to see a ballet performance on their way home from a soccer game.

“Oh, look, ‘Sleeping Beauty’ is playing at the theater,” the dad said. “Do you want to go catch the matinee?”

As artistic director for Orlando Ballet, Morris wants to ingrain that European mindset into Central Florida’s culture.

For some, ballet is an acquired taste, like broccoli. For Morris, it’s a passion.

BY GEORGE DIAZ

His mission: to show that ballet is for everyone.

“I think if we could get the psyche of North Americans a bit more open, as they are in the European cultural community, that would be a great thing.” People could come to view bal-

2021.

let through the same lens as organized sports. “There’s a connection there,” he said.

Since coming to Orlando in January 2020 as the company’s resident chore-

ographer, he has worn those emotions well. Morris was named artistic director in December 2021 after Robert Hill abruptly stepped down after a 13-year run.

It’s an unlikely story of “How did you get here?” for a native of Banff in Alberta, Canada, who spent 11 years as a dancer with the Royal Winnipeg Ballet. Simply put, Morris has been a perfect fit for this city and its artistic community.

“Right man, right place, right time,” said Cheryl Collins, Orlando Ballet’s executive director.

Orlando Ballet was poised to up its cachet when Morris came along, and his artistic and professional skill set fell in line with those goals. Lofty ones.

Orlando won’t notice any of those seismic changes for a while. Although it’s business as usual for the ever-popular “Nutcracker,” which runs from Dec. 2 through Dec. 18 at the Steinmetz Hall at Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts, Morris is focused on a grander vision of the production for the 2023 season.

He recently showed a visitor a 3D model of the revamped presentation. It’s anything but a redo. It’s a new presentation driven by Morris and his artistic vision as Orlando Ballet gets set to celebrate its 50th season.

“I am going to make some new, unique alterations to it so that it is Orlando’s special production of ‘Nutcracker,’” he said, “It’s going to differ from any other ‘Nutcracker’ that you would see with some elements that I’m putting in—using animatronic puppets and things like that.”

That’s exactly why Morris is sitting in his office with a lake view off Princeton Street. Big picture. Artistic vision.

And the timing was perfect after Hill stepped down and the company established a much more solid financial foothold moving into its 50th season.

“You have to have the lens of a producer, and that’s where Jorden was the right person at the right time for us,” Collins said. “Three years ago, he would have been frustrated out of his mind because he wouldn’t have been able to create anything new or bring in the kind of works he is recommending for the company because we didn’t have the financial wherewithal.”

With resources in hand, Morris has curated the 2022-23 season for the company, which includes 27 dancers. It began with Michael Pink’s “Dracula” (Oct. 20–23), the aforementioned “Nutcracker,” “Moulin Rouge® The Ballet” (Feb. 9-12), and “A Streetcar Named Desire” (April 27–30).

Below: Jorden Morris is the “right man, right place, right time,” for Orlando Ballet.

There will also be a more intimate performance called “Uncorked” (or Director’s Cut) in more of an informal “Ballet 101” presentation at Harriett’s Orlando Ballet Centre on Nov. 8 and Jan. 10. It will be a cozy, intimate setting with an audience capacity of approximately 330.

“I’ve changed the direction of it since I started doing it,” Morris said. “I try to make it a fun evening, but I try to pick themes that will be educational for the audience that also explains the inner working, that inside-baseball-talk about it.”

All carry particular significance for Morris. But “Moulin Rouge” bears a significant redo. During the height of the COVID pandemic, Morris had to cut 38 minutes out of a production in keeping with live audience protocols. This time it’s the big-bang production, complete with a live orchestra.

“It’s always nice to have that beautiful French music played live from the pit and an accordion player on the stage for ‘La Vie en Rose.’ It’s just really beautiful.”

Professionally and personally, Orlando is an excellent fit for this transplanted Canadian.

Morris, 55, gets his exercise fix every day by biking from his home in Colonialtown North to Harriett’s Orlando Ballet Centre. A garden has sprouted in his yard with avocados, Meyer lemons, and most recently, the first pineapple he harvested.

“I find it’s a lovely neighborhood,” he said. “There are really nice people here. My neighbors are all great. I’ve got a beautiful deck with a barbecue and garden.”

But obviously, he is growing and nurturing bigger things for the Ballet.

His previous role set him free in many ways. Now it’s a much broader vision for success. His focus now includes enhance-

ments to production quality and expanding the mission of Orlando Ballet School and community enrichment. It’s all part of that creative balance.

“There are days I miss not having all the responsibilities of leading the organization and being able to just focus on my work or choreographing a piece or coaching the characters in their dramatic arcs and things like that,” he said. “It’s a big part of what I do.”

It’s a perfect trajectory for a career that began at the Royal Winnipeg Ballet. Morris has assumed leadership positions at Boston Ballet, Ballet Edmonton (formerly known as Citie Ballet), and The Royal Winnipeg Ballet School.

And now, Orlando.

It wasn’t supposed to be an extended gig at first.

“It was a complete surprise,” he said. “I remember my agent calling me and saying, ‘Okay, I just had a great conversation with Orlando Ballet. They want you over three seasons, so I’m going to send you to Pittsburgh now, and then I’m going to send you to Houston. And then you’ve got to book a side, and you’ll be in Orlando for this much.’”

“And initially, I thought, ‘Well, this is great. I’ll get to know the company, the dancers, they’ll get familiar with me and my works, and this is a great little adventure.’ And that was pretty much all I thought about it. And then, here I am, through the magic of life and the journeys we take.”

Morris was preparing to set his production of “The Great Gatsby” when Hill resigned, setting the stage for his current position.

Home sweet home it is. It’s lovely except for one thing.

“All Canadians, we love the outdoors,” he said. “I just wish there was a little more hockey here.”

It Started With a Wish

GEORGE DIAZ

JJORGE RAYOS MARKS time with his words and his music.

At 18, his clock ticks faster than most. He has been diagnosed with osteosarcoma, a highly aggressive form of bone cancer. Though scarred, Jorge is hardly broken.

He finds purpose in a concept album he created, based on the Arthurian legend and romance of Queen Guinevere, the wife of King Arthur and the lover of her husband’s best knight, Sir Lancelot du Lac.

A recent launch party at Orlando Health Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children celebrated the release of the album, featuring a nine song series entitled “Guinevere.”

“I hope a lot of people listen to it because it’s a piece of art that I made,” he said. “What most artists want is to be seen. I know I made something really good, and I shared it with people who are close to me.”

Jorge played the entire album for his mother, father, two sisters, girlfriend, and team members at the hospital before its release. They were there to celebrate and honor his achievement. Smiles, balloons, and photo ops were plentiful.

“Someone printed out these papers with my album cover on it, and nurses were coming to ask me for autographs,” Jorge said. “It made me feel like I was famous, which I thought was really nice of them.”

The feeling was mutual among those who attended the launch party.

“This is one of the many examples of how our team members go above and beyond for our patients,” said Cary D’Ortona, president of Orlando Health Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children and senior vice president of Orlando Health. “I’m so glad that many of Jorge’s care team and family members could be there to celebrate his incredible talent and legacy.”

The album marks the culmination of an artistic pursuit that began at the age of 10, when Jorge started taking guitar lessons. He worked with a teacher for a month before nurturing his musical muse on his own terms, developing his style by teaching himself chords and how to finger pick.

“After that it was me teaching myself,” he said. “In high school, I took keyboard lessons and started writing songs.”

He also started writing poetry. “Songwriting is basically poetry to music,” he said.

He recorded all the instruments and vocals on the album, which was released Oct. 15th and is available on Spotify, Apple Music, and other platforms.

Jorge’s studio time was granted by MakeA-Wish Central & Northern Florida. Jorge spent three days—10 hours each day—creating the album at a local recording studio in Orlando. “Everything you hear on the album is me,” Jorge said.

Said Anne Cuba, president & CEO of Make-A-Wish Central & Northern Florida: “We were so grateful to be able to grant Jorge’s wish and to give him a platform to share his voice and passion for music with the world. He is such a talented individual and seeing photos of him in the studio felt so natural—like it was where he belonged.”

He does belong. And his work will be timeless.

“No matter what happens,” he said, “I am really proud of what I made.”

Jorge Rayos is where he belongs, creating music for the world to hear.

Stroke Recovery Through Music

BY GEORGE DIAZ

MMUSIC HEALS THE soul, as the saying goes. Those aren’t empty words or platitudes. It is recognized as a form of therapy.

All the proof one needs is to peek inside the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts and admire the beauty of teamwork.

A handful of stroke survivors and caregivers gathered over the course of two days recently, joining three members of London’s Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and a workshop leader to create a unique musical experience in conjunction with AdventHealth’s Rehab and Musical Therapy teams.

The program, called STROKESTRA®, involved a one-day workshop culminating with a performance on the second day at Steinmetz Hall. In all, there were about 20 people on stage creating the musical experience.

“I can’t believe how much fun that was to be synchronizing with myself, with my mind,” said Robert Nicolau, one of the

participants, who played bongos and drums. “It was amazing.”

His words echo with everyone who had a role in the production, from participants, spectators, therapists, and caregivers.

The point and purpose weren’t to try to create a musical masterpiece. But it very much was a vehicle for hope and inspiration. Studies show that there is a strong link between stroke and depression, and that one in three people experience depression after a stroke. Caregivers and family members also get snared into that funk.

“The first thing they think about is, ‘I’m not going to be relevant because I’m damaged. I’m not going to be able to recover,’” explained Dr. Indrani Acosta, a vascular neurology specialist and medical director for stroke at AdventHealth.

“One of the things that STROKESTRA® brings is that [patients] can feel empowered.

They matter. They feel they can make a difference,” said Dr. Acosta.

Nicolau, 68, is living proof. He suffered a stroke in 2015 and lost his ability to speak for a few months. With the program, he was able to communicate through the power of music.

“I enjoyed seeing people and what they were doing-some of them were crying, some of them were laughing like forever,” he said. “It was fun watching them. It was!”

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED

“Their experience brought tears of laughter and signs of hope, all filled with inspiration,” said Kathy Ramsberger, president and CEO of the Dr. Phillips Center.

“This opportunity aligned perfectly with our vision of Arts For Every Life® and our objective to create partnerships that inspire a meaningful difference in everyone’s life.”

The program reflects the mission of the leadership team at the Dr. Phillips Center and its partners. In the spring of 2019, AdventHealth and the Dr. Phillips Center launched a groundbreaking research study to explore how the arts can benefit caregivers and care recipients with memory loss, specifically dementia diseases.

There are no definitive plans to continue the STROKESTRA® program, given the logistical challenges of working with an orchestra across the pond, but regardless, the two-day experience will have a lasting effect on all involved.

“It gave me a sense of true hope,” Dr. Acosta said. “It elevated me. It helps you think that there is more goodness to come.”

Giving stroke patients a sense of hope and healing through music.

Central Florida Zoo and Botanical Gardens

Asian Lantern Festival: Into the Wild. BY DANIEL SANCHEZ

THE STAFF AT the Central Florida Zoo and Botanical Gardens in Sanford, Florida, was abuzz with activity in early November as they made final preparations for their marquee winter attraction. The Asian Lantern Festival: Into the Wild, presented by Publix, is a dazzling holiday event that is fun for the whole family.

“It’s becoming a family tradition. It’s also great for church groups and businesses looking to come out, bring people together, and experience something totally new and different,” said the Director of Marketing and Communications, Will Wellons.

The Zoo’s biggest event runs from November 18 to January 15, 2023 with Santa

Claus making a special appearance December 17 and 22. A vast arrangement of new lanterns will surprise and delight both new and returning visitors. Wellons has noticed that zoo patrons of a different crowd—those interested in arts and culture—also enjoy attending this spectacular holiday festival.

To bring the festival to life, lantern manufacturer Tianyu Arts & Culture provides artisans from China to help prepare the event. Approximately 40 displays, including hundreds of lanterns and lighted decorations, magically transform the zoo into an evening wonderland. Some lanterns can be as tall as two stories, such as the panda lantern on display last season.

Tianyu Arts & Culture takes great care in designing the displays to complement the tapestry of the zoo.

The event is sold separately from the regular Zoo attendance, and Wellons recommends buying tickets in advance. Time slots are 6, 7, and 8 p.m., rain or shine, and visitors can stay as long as they like. Ticketing, parking, boardwalks, and pathways are set up to avoid overcrowding.

The Asian Lantern Festival features stunning, largerthan-life, illuminated lanterns.

“A Christmas Carol” at Orlando Shakes is a lovely holiday tradition; Cinderella’s Castle is the backdrop for some of Disney’s merriest holiday festivities.

We may not have the snowbanks and freezing temperatures, but we have the holiday spirit, and we love a celebration emphasizing childhood dreams and family togetherness.

So, if you’re new to the Orlando area, our love of the holiday may pleasantly surprise you. If you are a seasoned resident, you already know.

Orlando magazine’s Holiday Guide introduces you to the oldest parade in Central Florida and the most sought after experiences that offer the warmest holiday wishes.

Being the world’s theme park capital means locals and visitors can experience the best holiday entertainment, decor, and gastronomic delights, all with a huge helping of thrills, chills, and family fun.

If you like your holiday cheer with a side of irreverent humor, Universal Orlando Resort will make you, as they say, “scream, laugh, and shout your jingle bells off.”

Central Florida loves to get its merry on, from quaint neighborhood celebrations to theme park extravaganzas.

CUGLIETTA

THE HOLIDAY SEASON IN CENTRAL FLORIDA CAN be quirky. It can be ironic. It can even be traditional if you can forgive the lack of snow.

The Holiday Season in Florida Warms the Heart T

For many who embrace the Florida aesthetic, Christmas comes dressed in North Pole-themed Hawaiian shirts and the “good” flip flops. Our family pets humor us, mostly, and agree to wear fuzzy reindeer antlers and Santa Claws outfits.

Yard decorations run the gamut from the subtle to the Griswold and displays often touch on the Florida theme. Who wouldn’t be proud of Santa and his eight tiny flamingos (or manatees or alligators) pulling a toy-laden sleigh as snowmen made of beach sand ride short boards?

Walt Disney World Resort’s four parks launch their Christmas celebrations in November, ending on New Year’s Day. There isn’t a more beautiful (or crowded) time of the year to visit one or all of the parks.

SeaWorld Orlando melds marine life and Santa for a holiday celebration featuring millions of lights, a sea of trees, and dinner with Kris Kringle himself.

Christmas is “bricktacular” at LEGOLAND, Florida. The theme park is geared toward younger family members, but almost everybody would be in awe of a 30-foot-tall Christmas tree made entirely of LEGO bricks.

From boat parades to marathon days at the parks, look at all that Central Florida has to offer. CV

70TH ANNUAL YE OLDE HOMETOWN CHRISTMAS PARADE

DEC. 3

At 70 years, Winter Park’s holiday parade is the oldest in Central Florida. It’s a big deal, and the celebration rolls for an hour and a half.

The parade attracts thousands along its route from Park Avenue south to New England Avenue, where it finishes at Hannibal Square. Over 80 organizations take part, including scout troops, elected officials, dignitaries, marching bands, and schools, such as Winter Park High School and Full Sail University.

Parade sponsor The Winter Park Chamber of Commerce is presenting its special float this year, one that announces an upcoming milestone.

“The Winter Park Chamber of Commerce turns 100 in 2023, and we will kick off that celebration with a Centennial float carrying our current and past board chairs at the Ye Olde Hometown Christmas Parade,” says chamber President and CEO Betsy Gardner Eckbert.

This year’s Grand Marshal is David Odahowski, president and CEO of the Edyth Bush Charitable Foundation. Emceeing the action is the always-entertaining Scott Maxwell, an Orlando Sentinel columnist.

They invite parade participants and viewers to wake up to a pancake breakfast with all the fixings at 7 a.m. in Central Park, hosted by the chamber’s Leadership

The Apopka Christmas Parade is one of the premier community events of the year and easily draws over 25,000 people each December to see the rolling celebration.

For some perspective, the city has a population of about 57,000 people. So, a crowd of almost half the population size flocks to the Indoor Foliage Capital of the World to immerse themselves in the joy of one of the largest holiday parades in Central Florida.

The Foliage Sertoma Club of Apopka and the City of Apopka sponsor the parade, which is judged this year by Ybeth Bruzual of Spectrum News 13 and Trudy Wild, director of Public Grants & Advocacy for United Arts of Central Florida.

“This year’s parade theme is ‘A Festive Florida Christmas!’ and I am certain we will not be disappointed in the community’s creativity when it comes to parade entries,” says Lorena Potter, club president, and parade chairperson.

The parade begins at 10 a.m., and spectators line Park Avenue at least two hours before for the best viewing and odds of catching holiday goodies being handed out by participants. 10 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 10. foliagesertoma.org CV

10TH ANNUAL VIOLECTRIC HOLIDAY SHOW WALT DISNEY AMPHITHEATER AT LAKE EOLA PARK, ORLANDO

As a violinist and the founder of Violectric, Michelle Jones has shared stages with major acts such as e Killers, Katy Perry, and John Legend. But she says her acoustic and electric string ensemble’s annual free holiday concert at Lake Eola is “the one show I always look forward to attending. It’s like a homecoming.”

e Central Florida-based band’s visually stunning, high-energy set mashes up rock hits with holiday classics, so if you’ve ever wondered what Led Zeppelin’s “Kashmir” would sound like blended with “Jingle Bells,” this is the show to see.

Free and open to the public, the 90-minute live concert, presented by the City of Orlando Department of Families, Parks and Recreation, features holiday classics in an energetic holiday show.

Community-minded Violectric has again invited the Pet Alliance of Greater Orlando to the pet-friendly party and encourages all to donate to the rescue organization. Opening the show will be student musicians from Edgewater High School in Orlando, who we are told will stick around to perform an encore with the band.

HOLIDAYS AT UNIVERSAL ORLANDO

The “Awesomest Celebration of the Season” is in full swing through New Year’s Day.

At Islands of Adventure, Seuss Landing gets a holiday makeover, Whoville-style. And if you can’t think of Christmas without thinking of the “Grinch Who Stole Christmas,” sit in for “The Grinchmas Who-liday Spectacular,” a live retelling of the Green One’s favorite tale.

During this special time of year, can there be anything more magical than Hogwarts Castle and the snowy village of Hogsmeade?

From dusk until closing, Hogwarts Castle becomes the backdrop for a spectacular, eight-minute light show that tells the story of the Magic of Christmas and should not be missed.

Check out Universal’s Holiday Parade featuring Macy’s at Universal Studios Florida. The daily parade features larger-thanlife balloons and characters from “Madagascar” and “Shrek.” And, of course, there are Minions, the lovable little purveyors of silly mayhem from “Despicable Me.” universalorlando.com AB

WALT DISNEY WORLD RESORT

In the Magic Kingdom, Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party features Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmastime Parade, Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks Show, and a yuletide stage show at Cinderella Castle starring Mickey Mouse

with performers singing and dancing to holiday favorites.

The EPCOT International Festival of Holidays, which runs through Dec. 30, is a fun way to learn about other nations’ customs, traditions, and, of course, foods.

Visit with jolly St. Nick in the Odyssey Pavilion through Dec. 24 and learn of diverse traditions worldwide from a Hanukkah Storyteller on the promenade between the Morocco and France pavilions.

If you like cookies, especially colorful holiday treats, make time for the Holiday Cookie Stroll challenge to earn a special confection from Sweets & Treats Holiday Kitchen.

Once the sun starts to set, head to the American Gardens Theatre for the Candlelight Processional to hear the stirring story of Christmas presented by a celebrity narrator and accompanied by an orchestra and choir.

At Disney’s Hollywood Studios, catch the Santa Claus Motorcade and see the jolly elf himself cruising down Hollywood Boulevard in his candy-apple red convertible.

“Frozen” fans won’t want to miss “For the First Time in Forever: A Frozen Sing-Along Celebration,” as it presents a heartwarming finale specially written for the holiday season.

If you’re looking for a Christmas celebration that’s a little different, enjoy the magic of nature at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. This park’s holiday spirit is understated and multicultural, perhaps refreshing after days of glittering festivities.

Even if you never step foot in one of the theme parks, you can still immerse yourself in the Disney Christmas experience with a day (or two) at Disney Springs. All the shops and restaurants light up for the holidays, and special events can be found throughout. disneyworld.disney.go.com AB

Palm Beach or Bust!

Creating the perfect weekend getaway in Palm Beach.

BY JENNIFER MCKEE AND T. MICHELE WALKER

LLET’S BE HONEST; it’s delightful living in a city known as the vacation capital of the country, if not the world. Orlandoans may have to deal with the traffic on I-4 and the inevitable congestion around the theme parks. Still, Central Florida is overflowing with staycation options and quick getaway fun. From Universal Orlando Resort, SeaWorld, and Walt Disney World Resort itself, Orlandoans have their pick of the litter when it comes to an instant retreat; that is until one needs to truly escape the madness.

Before the 1971 opening of Walt Disney World, tourism was already a booming industry in Florida. There were a few established theme parks, like Cypress Gardens, Weeki Wachee Springs, and Gatorland, but the biggest draw for northern tourists wasn’t Orlando. Tourists flocked to the pristine beaches that lined the east and west coasts of Florida.

Tourists and locals seemed to fall into two categories, defined by whether they were an

“East Coast” or “West Coast” beach Floridian or visitor. If you chose the east coast, you most likely yearned for a Palm Beach escape. You wouldn’t be alone. From the former Kennedy Palm Beach compound to John Lennon and Yoko Ono’s mansion, the Pulitzer family estate to Mar-a-Lago, originally built for Marjorie Merriweather Post, Palm Beach has always reigned supreme as the go-to beach getaway for the elite.

When one thinks of Palm Beach, they imagine a place surrounded by crystal blue ocean views, tropical umbrellas surrounding beach and pools, gilded interiors reflecting a gilded age gone by, a time when the traveler made their way to this very beach town with their steamer trunks and stayed at such classic hotels as The Breakers or perhaps The Colony Hotel.

With the careful preservation of Palm Beach, one doesn’t have to look far to experience that same luxury today. Combining the classic and

modern, the elegant Eau Palm Beach Resort & Spa doesn’t disappoint. For those of us living in Central Florida, the drive is pleasant enough. No trains or planes necessary, simply pop in a mini playlist or an audiobook in your car, and you’re there quick as a bunny.

Within minutes of pulling up to the valet parking, it’s apparent that Eau Palm is a former Ritz-Carlton property. Located in the quaint seaside town of Manalapan Beach, Eau Palm opened its doors on July 1, 2020, retaining its Forbes 5-star spa rating. The lobby even smells like The Ritz-Carlton, which can best be described as fresh citrus, lavender, and money. Champagne in hand, we had a quick check-in as they whisked us away to our room.

Once we were settled, it was thrilling to throw open the doors to the spectacular ocean and pool view. We received more welcoming champagne and treats, such as chocolates and gifts. I spent most of my time

Eau Palm Beach Resort & Spa is a blissful home away from home.

in my favorite new place; a hanging swing chair on the balcony which allowed me to listen to the blustery waves of the Atlantic as my body swung in splendor. I could sit in the fun egg-shaped swing chair for the entire vacation, and that alone would have refreshed my beleaguered soul.

Designer Jonathan Adler carefully managed the renovation of 309 guestrooms and suites of the Eau Palm, which is set on seven acres of private oceanfront with pools, gardens, with amenities galore:

„ A fabulous and fun kids and teen program.

„ The award-winning 42,000-squarefoot spa features treatment rooms with private gardens with Jacuzzis.

„ A wishing well where you can light a candle and place your affirmations and wishes.

„ A fabulous scrub and polish bar.

„ An adult playground for guests 18 and over.

ADULT AND FAMILY OPTIONS

Eau Palm provides several options for their guests and has the perfect programming for you if your goal is to have a quality family experience with children. Family and adult pools are separate, meaning one could vacation at Eau Palm and rarely see a child if that is your goal.

KIDS & TEENS

When you drop off your child at Eau Palm, you’re getting the best of the best. If your child is three to 12, Eau Palm will invite them to join Loggers, an immersive experience that lets kids tap into their creativity.

From nature, pristine beaches, and worldclass art, Palm Beach has something for every taste.

Ages 13-17 are sure to enjoy Hide Away, a new, innovative space devoted to gaming, movies, and sports.

ADULTS ONLY

Wherever you have quality children’s services, you have happy adults who can fully relax and unwind.

From Spa services, where I thoroughly enjoyed a full body massage along with releasing my candle affirmation, to the adult-only pool areas, Eau Palm has created two worlds where parents can have their cake and eat it, too. Let’s not forget a little thing like the Atlantic Ocean, which is the original headline attraction.

Staying at the Eau Palm is the ultimate destination as there are many exciting things to do on the property. However, with Palm Beach just minutes away, it’s essential to explore the riches and history of this gilded community. TMW

EXPLORING PALM BEACH-GO FOR THE GREEN

The Palm Beaches’ cheerful cultural scene is as laid back as a sun-kissed rooftop restaurant. Here, museums, libraries and performing-arts institutions live side by side with natural wonders that abound in the form of lush groves, wildlife habitats and sculpture gardens.

EAU PALM RESORT & SPA/COURTESY OF BROOKLYN MUSEUM

“Experience the beauties of nature, and in doing so, learn more about yourself,” states a Japanese proverb. You’ll find that self-awareness easy at the Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens in Delray Beach, where the welcome center opens to a large, tranquil lake that inspires quiet contemplation. Take advantage of a bench at the water’s edge and lose yourself in thought.

Nearby, a beautiful waterfall and babbling brook provide another opportunity for reflection. Close your eyes and listen to the birds chirp while a sense of peace washes over you.

The Morikami is full of such serene spots; amble along its winding paths and discover the one that’s right for you. Don’t leave before visiting the bonsai exhibit and the collection of Japanese dolls.

Another outdoor paradise, the Mounts Botanical Garden in West Palm Beach, is the oldest and largest public garden in Palm

Beach County. This idyllic, 16-acre tropical paradise is full of native flora and fauna. When one sits beneath the garden’s royal poinciana tree and looks out over Lake Worth, ease settles in quickly.

Mounts’ mission is to reconnect visitors to nature, local stories and one another. Its new “Year of the Orchid” exhibit does just that, drawing on the history of West Palm Beach, which once was known as Orchid City.

Download the Bloomberg Connects app and search Mounts Botanical Garden to aid in exploration of the 25 display gardens, its exhibits, festivals, nursery and more.

Traditional museums in Palm Beach County also make the most of their space by exploring their connections to nature. Outdoor sculpture at the Norton Museum of Art in West Palm Beach is set amid lush grounds and realizes architect Lord Norman Foster’s vision for a “museum in a garden.” The 37,200-square-foot garden mixes mature trees with plants of varying leaf sizes and tropical flowers to create “garden rooms.”

Among the artists you’ll find represented in the garden are Keith Haring, Antony Gormley, Jenny Holzer and Joel Shapiro and many others.

Indoors, there are two exciting new exhibits. “A Personal View on High Fashion & Street Style: Photographs from the Nicola Erni Collection, 1930s to Now” looks at the photographer’s rare vintage prints, large-format photographs, and original collages. It’s on view through Feb. 12.

“Joseph Stella: Visionary Nature” examines the artist’s portrayal of natural subjects. The depictions of flowers, plants and birds is a stunning departure from the futuristic artwork for which he’s known. The exhibit runs through Jan. 15.

Focusing on drama, art, music, and literature, the Society of the Four Arts in Palm Beach is home to myriad engaging events that connect back to nature. The 86-year-old cultural organization’s latest exhibition, “Hard Bodies: Contemporary Japanese Lacquer Sculpture,” explores the art of lacquerware in East Asia, where artisans use the toxic sap of the lacquer tree to coat and bond together wood, bamboo, textiles and ceramics to make

Eau Palm Resort & Spa offers luxurious amenities fit for a king or queen.

utilitarian and ritualistic items. It’s on view Dec. 3-Jan. 22.

A stroll through the Four Arts’ Philip Hulitar Sculpture Garden takes you through another of the county’s hidden gems. It’s a beautiful place to enjoy lunch or bask in a sunny afternoon. Unforgettable pieces include Jim Dine’s “King Parrot,” Beverly Pepper’s “Crispina Senior II” and Lawrence Holofcener’s “The Allies,” perhaps the garden’s most Instagrammed piece.

Home to art in Boca Raton, Mizner Park houses both the Boca Raton Museum of Art and its art school. Creative artistic expression is valued here, and you’ll witness that inside both. At the museum, “Art of the Hollywood Backdrop” preserves scenic backdrops found behind some of the biggest movies ever filmed: “Ben-Hur,” “The Sound of Music” and “North by Northwest” among them.

The exhibit, which runs through Jan. 22, also gives credit to the scenic artists who created those paintings, who received little recognition.

Also, on view is “Black Pearls,” a look into Boca Raton’s historic Black neighborhood of Pearl City, viewed through the lens of Reginald Cunningham. It is the first-ever museum exhibition of the photographer’s work and celebrates the people of this enduring district. The exhibit runs through Jan. 29.

The artwork continues outside in not one but two sculpture gardens, which feature more than 20 works by such artists as Arman, Tony Rosenthal, and Geoffrey C. Smith. JM

BACK TO THE EAU PALMDINNER IS WHERE THE MAGIC HAPPENS

After exploring Palm Beach, having a fine meal is crucial. There are several excellent dining locations to choose from at Eau Palm. Everything is delicious, from their pizza to burgers; you can’t miss. One can conveniently order food and drinks to be delivered to the pool or to the beach.

Our favorite restaurant was Polpo Palm Beach, where our excellent server, Leroy, gave excellent guidance on what to order. We were delighted to meet Chef Kevin and Chef Jason, who explained their commitment to everything on their menu being natural, local and homemade.

You can’t go wrong starting with the grilled polpo, octopus with cannellini beans with a touch of arugula. This was followed by

Whether you decide to relax at your resort or explore the wonders of Palm Beach, it’s an unforgettable vacation for the whole family.

a sumptuous Raviolo Tartufati, homemade cheese ravioli with a delectable truffle cream sauce. The main course was an expertly prepared Dover sole fillet.

As we awoke to our final day at Eau Palm Resort & Spa, we didn’t want the vacation to end. We took our time packing our luggage but had to take one last tour of the spectacular resort; a blissful walk along the Atlantic, a stroll around the pools, and a peek into the lovely boutiques. We refuse to be melancholy because we will return, and soon. After all, we live just two and a half hours away. It’s comforting to know that when we need an escape from our own paradise, there’s another just down the road to replenish our souls. TMW

The Ripple Effects of Better Health

Ten years in and we’re turning the tide for children.

Since opening our hospital one decade ago, Nemours Children’s Health has been part of a sea change in children’s health. We provide life-changing care to our region’s most medically challenged children, and advocate for the health of all kids in Florida. While we celebrate how far we’ve come, it’s not even close to how far we’ll go to ensure every child’s world is a place for them to thrive.

FINEST DOCTORS OF 2022

FEATURING OVER 800 PHYSICIANS

Our annual special section celebrating excellence in the medical field features hundreds of doctors chosen by their peers and helps guide readers in their choice of physicians. In addition to the two lists— Top Doctors and Premier Doctors—you’ll find personal accounts from physicians about some of the most memorable moments in their careers, along with a story on holiday heart syndrome, the causes and tips to staying healthy during the holiday season. Finally, our special advertising section highlights the services, backgrounds and achievements of dozens of doctors and medical practices.

TOP DOCTORS

THE TOP DOCTORS list is compiled by Washington, D.C.-based Consumers’ Checkbook, a nonprofit research organization. It is based on surveys sent to all actively practicing physicians in the Greater Orlando area, asking them to recommend one or two doctors in various specialty fields who they “would consider most desirable for care of a loved one.” Checkbook’s list reveals the names of physicians mentioned most often by other physicians who responded to its surveys—and the number of times they were mentioned.

Several years ago on a flight, an attendant urgently asked if a doctor was on board. An elderly gentleman was having difficulty breathing. I immediately began examining him, but over the sound of the plane’s engine, it was difficult to hear his breathing with the provided stethoscope. I remembered

something I learned during residency. I cut the stethoscope in half, which shortened the distance the sound had to travel, allowing me to listen to the patient more clearly. I started him on IV medication and provided multiple nebulizer treatments. His breathing stabilized, possibly saving his life, and preventing the

plane from an emergency landing. I relate this story in my current field of medicine of colorectal surgery, in which innovative techniques are often critical. I enjoy collaborating with my fellow physicians to pioneer procedures and technologies that help deliver the most advanced care for our patients.

INFECTIOUS DISEASE

Orlando Health Medical Group Infectious Disease

My first encounter with a patient is very important, especially someone diagnosed with HIV. I can sense their fear and uncertainty about a disease that was considered terminal not long ago. It’s a defining moment in their medical journey, so I answer their questions with compassion, empathy, clarity, honesty,

and hope. ere are patients whose progress I’ve been following since I came to Orlando 20 years ago. I’ll never forget my first appointment with a woman who was diagnosed with HIV after a miscarriage. She was afraid her life would be over. But after treatment, she later delivered a healthy baby, who is now a

teenager. Some patients are very sick when they’re diagnosed. It’s difficult for them to believe that they’ll recover and have a normal life. I always tell them, “Yes, you have a disease that up to this day, we cannot cure, but we can control it. We’re going to get through this together.”

OBSTETRICS AND GYNECOLOGY

Obstetrics and Gynecology Specialist, Women’s Care Infertility has many causes. It is stressful but can ultimately be joyous when we are successful. One patient that comes to mind is a young woman with multiple fibroids who desired pregnancy. After we reviewed all her options, we decided her best option was a myomectomy, which is removal of the

fibroids. She underwent a successful surgery. I removed 13 fibroids. Post-op, we discussed there were no guarantees, especially because of the large number of fibroids. She became pregnant within nine months. We were ecstatic! Our first ultrasound showed twins. She was considered high risk, would require

a cesarean section, and we saw each other often. At 38 weeks, she called me during my son’s basketball game on a Saturday to tell me she was in labor. I made it to the hospital and delivered two healthy boys. Being involved in making families is an indescribable gift and blessing.

GENERAL SURGEON

Chief Surgical Quality O cer, Orlando Health Orlando Regional Medical Center

My father was a neurosurgeon, and the way we spent time together on weekends was for me to accompany him on hospital rounds. Since age five I wanted to be a neurosurgeon too. My interests changed in medical school while on a medical mission to rural Africa. I found that surgical patients’ needs were differ-

ent. I had to rely on old-fashioned skills, like physical examination, to diagnose and do more with less. I learned that as a general and trauma surgeon, I could better meet the needs in the developing world. e experience shaped me as a surgeon at our Level One trauma center and allowed me to volunteer on five con-

tinents. It encouraged me to help prepare doctors and nurses for medical missions. Here, I’m one of many surgeons. In another country, I may be one of a handful of physicians for thousands of patients waiting months or years for healthcare. It’s gratifying to help restore health for patients in need.

MEMORABLE MOMENT

DR. IVELISSE LOPEZ

GASTROENTEROLOGIST

Center for Digestive Health

Becoming a doctor was all I wanted to be since I was a little girl, so needless to say, I am living my dream. I was born and raised in Puerto Rico, where I received my medical degree. As a female Hispanic gastroenterologist in Central Florida, it has been my pleasure to assist and provide care to many in their own language. at makes patients more comfortable. Being a doctor is my honor, a privilege that comes with a responsibility to be the patient’s advocate.

One of my most memorable moments in my career is when I took care of a patient with unexplained weight loss. e insurance company denied the CT scan despite my appeal through a phone call to the insurance company. e patient paid for the study, which showed a very small lesion in the liver. I referred the patient to the surgeon, who removed two small lesions that turned out to be metastatic pancreatic cancer. It has been three years since then, and she is still my patient.

AVOIDING HOLIDAY HEART SYNDROME

LOCAL CARDIOLOGISTS EXPLAIN THE RISKS, SYMPTOMS, AND SIMPLE STEPS TO STAY HEALTHY DURING THE HOLIDAYS.

BY SUSAN JENKS

Despite its seemingly festive name, “holiday heart syndrome” (HHS) can cause the heart to race or pound in a frightening manner—usually after over exuberant partying with food and drink, physicians say.

This heart condition “could be better named, perhaps,” concedes Dr. Mahmoud Altawil, a cardiologist and clinical cardiac electrophysiologist at AdventHealth in Orlando. “But it’s catchy and serves its purpose well,” drawing attention to atrial fibrillation (AFib), the most common heart rhythm disorder, which doctors frequently see between Thanksgiving and New Year’s when people overindulge, especially with alcohol.

Most holiday revelers who develop these sudden electrical disturbances inside the heart do fine, as symptoms sometimes resolve on their own, Dr. Altawil says. Still, AFib, if undiagnosed or left untreated, can lead to serious heart issues. Many studies have shown that persistent atrial fibrillation carries a five times greater risk for stroke, while the chaotic rhythm disruptions in the heart’s two upper chambers, known as the atria, cause structural damage that weakens the heart over time, leading to heart failure.

The American Heart Association estimates that at least 2.7 million Americans today are living with atrial fibrillation. How many were first diagnosed with holiday heart syndrome is uncertain.

“It’s difficult to pinpoint— perhaps 5 percent to 10 percent tops, in any given year,” says Dr. Roland Filart, a clinical cardiac electrophysiologist specializing in treating the heart’s electrical disturbances, who works at Orlando Health Heart & Vascular Institute. He says no matter the exact percentage, physicians know the syndrome’s dominant trigger is too much alcohol,

which can open a “Pandora’s box” of problems threatening the heart, not just during the holiday season but all year round.

However, how much alcohol is too much remains ill-defined and varies according to each individual’s alcohol tolerance. One drink might be enough to disturb one person’s natural heart rhythm, yet in another, it might take many drinks. Surprisingly, many patients diagnosed with holiday heart syndrome apparently have no history of heart disease or barely notice any heart-distressing irregularities before showing up for treatment in urgent care centers or the emergency room.

“There’s a big individual component in atrial fibrillation, based on the data,” Dr. Altawil says. “Everybody knows their own body best.” Whether to wait it out or rush to the ER for immediate medical care depends on how each person perceives the

severity of their symptoms. If a person is experiencing symptoms similar to a heart attack, such as chest pains, shortness of breath, or even a general sense of unease, Altawil says it never hurts to get checked out, especially if any of these symptoms seem new.

“If someone’s heart is beating too fast and they’re worried about a heart attack, it’s a good idea to come in,” Dr. Filart agrees. “Otherwise, if their symptoms seem minor and they’re feeling fine, they can wait and go to the doctor the next day.”

They define a rapid heart rate as anything over 100 beats per minute. But that number must be considered in context.

“During running or other exercises, that could be a normal heart rate,” Dr. Filart says, with an EKG confirming an abnormal rhythm only when symptoms occur “right then and there.” Sometimes these rhythm disturbances come and

go quickly, while at other times, they last for years.

Still, both cardiologists stress that holiday heart syndrome usually goes away on its own after the individual rests and abstains from further alcohol use. They encourage risk modification strategies first.

Patients with confounding health issues can worsen an episode of holiday heart syndrome. These health issues include diabetes, high blood pressure, or undiagnosed sleep apnea. But, many available drugs exist that can slow the heart rate, thin the blood to reduce the clotting risk or tame the electrical impulses responsible for the heart’s impairment. If symptoms persist, most are highly manageable.

In addition, there are medicines to chemically restore orderly contractions and normal blood flow between the atrium and the heart’s ventricles or lower chambers as the heart muscle contracts to pump oxygenated blood throughout the body. Doctors can even shock the heart back to normal through cardioversion.

Ultimately, the approach doctors use depends on many factors, not least of which is the acuity of the situation. A few months ago, Dr. Filart treated a football coach who came into the hospital severely dehydrated and stressed after winning a local football championship. Because his heart rate was so high at the

time, posing an imminent stroke risk, the team immediately performed cardioversion by shocking his heart back to normal using paddles placed on each side of his chest. “We had to get him out of AFib quickly or risk losing him,” Dr. Filart explains.

In comparison, a second patient experiencing a less extreme abnormal heart rhythm needed less aggressive treatment. He wandered into the hospital feeling poorly after celebrating a golf win with his buddies, says Dr. Filart. The patient’s condition improved quickly so the medical team gave him a beta-blocker to slow his racing heartbeat and sent him home for a later follow-up.

Both cases illustrate the complexity of AFib and its role in contributing to heart disease. Because advancing age—65 and older—increases the risk, the Centers for Disease and Prevention now predicts the number of Americans diagnosed with atrial fibrillation by 2030 could climb as high as 12.1 million—underscoring the need for better awareness.

If the term holiday heart syndrome misleads people into thinking, “this might be referring to a good thing,” that couldn’t be further from the truth. AFib is far from positive, but Dr. Altawil looks on the good side. “It could encourage patients to learn more about it.”

Overindulging in food and drink during the holiday season could lead to holiday heart syndrome.

PREMIER DOCTORS

ORLANDO MAGAZINE’S PREMIER DOCTORS list was assembled by DataJoe Research, a software and research company specializing in data collection and verification that conducts various nominations across the United States on behalf of publishers. DataJoe Research used an online peer-voting process and reached out to medical groups and individual doctors to facilitate participation, while also referencing other government and Internet sources to establish credibility/eligibility of doctors. DataJoe then tallied the results to score doctors in each category and confirmed that each winning candidate had a current, active license status with the state regulatory board. If evidence of a doctor’s current, active registration with the state regulatory board was not found, that doctor was excluded from the list. In addition, any doctor who had been disciplined for an infraction by the state regulatory board up to the time frame of the review process was excluded from the list.

MEMORABLE MOMENT

DR. DIANA CARDONA-GRAU

PEDIATRIC UROLOGY

Urology Specialist, Orlando Health Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children Urology Center

One reason I love pediatric urology is that I get to create long-lasting relationships with my patients and their families. Whether they need surgery or not, I’ve provided care to some children for many years, sometimes from birth. It’s so rewarding to see them grow and thrive.

One young boy has been particularly memorable, as I first operated on him when he was just a

week old. After he turned two, I had to perform a complex reconstructive surgery on his genitourinary tract. It was a scary and overwhelming time for his family, but he came through the procedure and is doing well today. When I see him for regular follow-ups, his mother says he asks to “bring Dr. Diana home with him.” It is a great privilege to care for children, and I feel honored to be a part of their life stories.

MEMORABLE MOMENT

PEDIATRIC HEMATOLOGY-ONCOLOGY SPECIALIST

Division Chief of the Nemours Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders, Nemours Children’s Hospital

In my 33 years as a physician, my most memorable moment is from about seven years ago when, for the first time, I could feel the difference we were making in the lives of the children we care for. e patient had an aggressive head and neck cancer that was not responding to treatments.

I was so fortunate to be part of a team that could use a breakthrough drug, though, at the time, we did not know the response it would have.

e first assessment after treatment involved scans, and I was thrilled to share what a dramatic response we saw. When I asked the dad if the child had any side effects, he said, “Yes. Happiness.” It was such a pleasant surprise.

Over the years, I have seen many side effects, but this was something new that led to a paradigm change in cancer treatment. I was so proud professionally to be among the first to treat a patient with that breakthrough drug.

DR. RACHEL G. HUMPHREY PERINATOLOGIST

Medical Director of Maternal-Fetal Medicine

AdventHealth for Women

I vividly remember the night, early on in my career, when I received a call regarding a pregnant woman who was full term and at risk of bleeding to death and losing her baby. Her placenta had separated, and the baby was not getting oxygen. I knew that to save them both, immediate action was needed. is was the first time I performed a cesarean section in which anesthesia, the surgery incision and the delivery occurred almost simultaneously, allowing

us to save the mother and her new baby girl. I am touched to still receive letters from the family about their daughter, who is now 18 years old! Special moments like these continue to remind me of how humbled and honored I am to work alongside our highly trained maternal-fetal team at AdventHealth for Women. Our high-risk physicians, nurses and staff provide advanced clinical care to expecting mothers and their babies every day.

MEMORABLE MOMENT

DR. ALBERT M. ONG

UROLOGIST

Orlando Urology Associates

In my 17 years of practice as a urologist, I have had the opportunity to take care of many amazing people. It is also wonderful to see how advances in technology have made treatment less invasive and more effective. One of my first patients was a lady who came to my office with severe back pain and blood in her urine. Imaging showed a large kidney mass with possible spread to the lungs.

After I performed a minimally invasive surgery to remove the kidney cancer, I worked closely with

her medical oncologist and primary physician to manage her care. e lung lesions returned despite chemotherapy. She was devastated with the diagnosis. A new treatment became available, and she received immunotherapy for her cancer. She is in remission 10 years later.

She is thrilled to have her life back, and she tells me about her life events every year I see her. Cases like hers are a humbling reminder of how we touch people’s lives.

SPORTS MEDICINE SURGEON

Chief of Orthopaedic Surgery, Rothman Orthopaedic Institute

Executive Medical Director, AdventHealth Orthopaedic Institute

I remember caring for an injured high school star athlete, who sustained a significant knee dislocation during a football game. Due to the complex injury, he was very concerned if he’d ever play football again. I realized that this young athlete’s whole life trajectory could have changed with his injury that night. With that in mind, I performed a leadingedge surgical procedure called a multiligament knee reconstruction, allowing him full range of

motion and a full recovery. I am heartened that this patient not only eagerly returned to the field but is currently living out his dream of playing Division 1 college football. Because the physicians at Rothman Orthopaedics each subspecialize in specific joints of the body, we can provide the most advanced surgical techniques for our specific areas of expertise as well as non-surgical options, resulting in the best outcomes for our patients.

THE CENTRAL FLORIDA VEIN AND VASCULAR CENTER has been the premier Vein Center in Central Florida since 2001. Founded by Board certified Vascular Surgeon Dr. John Horowitz, the Center is committed to providing the most advanced vein care in a comfortable, patient-centered setting that provides outstanding results. Dr. Horowitz and Dr. Agis are Certified by the American Board of Venous and Lymphatic Medicine, an example of their commitment to the field of Phlebology above and beyond their vascular surgical credentials. The PAs and Nurse Practitioners are experts themselves, having years of vein care experience, and are members of the American Vein and Lymphatic Society. “There is so much more to vein care than people realize,” says Dr. Horowitz. “You really need to be expertly trained and have a complete understanding of what to do for each patient. All too often, physicians call themselves vein specialists with minimal experience in caring for vein patients.” The CFVVC is a comprehensive vein center, caring for patients with the full spectrum of venous disease that ranges from painful, bulging varicose veins, to dissatisfying spider veins, and even leg pain and swelling. Vein care is all they do! Since the Center is regionally known as a center of excellence for vein care, insurance carriers approve care for almost every clinical scenario. “The Central Florida Vein and Vascular Center is really a dream come true for me,” says Dr. Horowitz, adding “the practice is so personal and not owned by a large hospital system. I can institute anything I feel that is in the best interest of the patients that come here. When patients leave, they truly feel they have been to an office like no other. That is my greatest reward.”

Since the Center is regionally known as a center of excellence for vein care, insurance carriers approve care for almost every clinical scenario. “The Central Florida Vein and Vascular Center is really a dream come true for me,” says Dr. Horowitz, adding “the practice is so personal and not owned by a large hospital system. I can institute anything I feel that is in the best interest of the patients that come here. When patients leave, they truly feel they have been to an office like no other. That is my greatest reward.”

THE CENTRAL FLORIDA VEIN AND VASCULAR CENTER has been the premier Vein Center in Central Florida since 2001. Founded by Board certified Vascular Surgeon Dr. John Horowitz, the Center is committed to providing the most advanced vein care in a comfortable, patient-centered setting that provides outstanding results. Dr. Horowitz and Dr. Agis are Certified by the American Board of Venous and Lymphatic Medicine, an example of their commitment to the field of Phlebology above and beyond their vascular surgical credentials. The PAs and Nurse Practitioners are experts themselves, having years of vein care experience, and are members of the American Vein and Lymphatic Society. “There is so much more to vein care than people realize,” says Dr. Horowitz. “You really need to be expertly trained and have a complete understanding of what to do for each patient.

SAVORING THE SEASON

Savoring the Season

Pamper yourself this season and dine out for the holidays.

BY ANNA BRESCIA

DDINING OUT DURING the holidays is more popular than ever, and it’s easy to understand why; no dishes, no preparation, no mess to clean up at the end of the evening. And for those who miss the leftovers, many restaurants are happy to provide you with a delicious doggy bag. Let’s make a toast to new traditions as we look at some of Orlando’s finest holiday restaurants.

BULL & BEAR

Let Bull & Bear handle the cooking this holiday season. This Waldorf-Astoria Hotel award-winning restaurant will dazzle your palate with its holiday prix fixe menu alongside its à la carte menu. The menu is amazing, but there are two things that we can’t wait to sink our teeth into, the potato leek soup and the truffle mac and cheese. Christmas is all about those warm feelings; nothing beats a velvety bowl of soup. Plus, who doesn’t love mac and cheese? Adding truffles always makes it better. bullandbearorlando.com

TAVERNA OPA

Travel to the Greek Isles for Christmas without ever leaving Central Florida. Make plans to dine with Taverna Opa on Christmas Eve for a festive, Greek classics meal. The highlight of the feast is the meat platter. Enjoy chicken kebab, beef kebab, oak-grilled pork loin, and sliced gyro meat served with YiaYia’s veggies and lemon potatoes. And while you’re savoring your Greek feast, enjoy some traditional belly dancing entertainment. And don’t worry if you aren’t in the mood for their 3-course prix fixe menu. Their full menu will also be available. opaorlando.com

VINIA WINE & KITCHEN

Spend your Christmas Eve sitting at Fabio’s Table at VINIA Wine & Kitchen. Savor traditional European holiday traditions with this 5-course dining experience. The menu explores the flavors of France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, and Brazil flavors. All the dishes are to die for, but we can’t wait to dive into the dessert course— since who doesn’t love holiday desserts? Indulge in the Cuscuz De Tapioca Con Coco, which pairs tapioca, soft coconut pudding, with cinnamon rum caramel. And opt for the wine pairing to sip on the German Rheinhessen with this decadent Brazilian custard. viniawinebar.com

Four Flamingos

BY JOSEPHINE MAIDA

FFOUR FLAMINGOS IS one of the latest and greatest on the Orlando food scene. Opening at the tail end of 2021, this Florida-inspired kitchen by celebrity chef, Richard Blais, has welcomed guests with an innovative menu and vintage Florida flavors.

1 Grand Cypress Boulevard Orlando, FL

fourflamingosorlando.com

Entrees: $12-$130

The restaurant is on track to becoming a beloved staple for Orlando foodies—not an easy feat as this new dining location replaced fan favorite Hemingway’s, which operated for over 30 years before the pandemic.

Chef de Cuisine at Four Flamingos, Shelby Farrell, shares with Orlando magazine that although the menu has changed, it pays homage to the beloved Hemingway’s.

“We feature many of the same fresh ingredients, just presented in different ways. For fans of the classic Hemingway’s crab cake, try our small crab cake plate, which features a 95 percent fresh crab cake like the

old days, just with new accoutrements,” Farrell suggests. Both locations have been influenced by the Florida Keys, where author Ernest Hemingway wrote some of his most inspired works, now found inside Four Flamingos.

“In the space itself, you’ll find many nods to the previous restaurant, from Hemingway books filling our bookshelves to several of Hemingway’s staff members we are so excited to still have on the team,” Farrell explains.

As a local foodie, I’ve had multiple opportunities to dine at Four Flamingos—once with Blais himself. It’s evident in my conversation with Blais that he has a strong passion for the restaurant.

“A lot of nostalgic elements provided the inspiration for Four Flamingos, like when I was young, peering into a lobster tank or watching the action in an open kitchen,” said Chef Blais. “It’s been so rewarding to

incorporate those elements and hopefully pass those memories to the next generation who might find their passion for food here.”

A perfect night at Four Flamingos begins with the tuna tostada with a passion fruit yolk. Using a touch of molecular gastronomy, this dish creates the look and feel of a yolk—made from vibrant passion fruit, perfectly paired with ahi tuna.

The “Bread & Butter” Coconut Media Noche is simple but cannot be missed. Light and fluffy with a kiss of tropical flavor, these rolls are beyond the classic breadbasket.

Speaking of Chef Blais and his lobster tank nostalgia, I highly recommend the whole lobster, poached with citrus beurre blanc and is one of the most delicious meals I have ever had.

For Orlando guests or tourists looking for authentic Florida flavors with a touch of something special, head to Four Flamingos—it won’t disappoint.

Chef Richard Blais features authentic Florida flavors with a touch of something special.
