Nothing like HOME
CAPEHART
Remember when, come June, traffic eased up and restaurant reservations were easier to come by? Well, it might be a little easier, but Palm Beach has definitely morphed into a year-round community, with seasonal residents staying a while longer and a new wave of transplants from both coasts establishing full-time residency. Look around; the energy is unmistakable. In this issue, we turn the spotlight on our local community, from the people who make the Palm Beaches tick to the innovators and makers who are shaping the Palm Beach aesthetic. It doesn’t get more local than the Frisbie family, whose real estate projects have contributed to the fabric of Palm Beach and West Palm Beach over the past two decades. One of their newest projects—Via Flagler—is also the site of our cover shoot, since two generations of Frisbies call the charming enclave home. What they’ve built is impressive, but what is even more special is their family dynamic, both in business and behind the scenes. Their bond transcends transactions, and this is part of what has made them such good citizens. Check out their story in “Family First” on page 52. Among the transplants I alluded to earlier are Michael and Nolan Greenwald, young New Yorkers who quarantined in Palm Beach during the pandemic and never left. Michael, a former diplomat with an impressive resume, used art as a cultural bridge during his career; now he and Nolan are building a collection of their own. This month we take you inside the Greenwalds’ new Palm Beach apartment for a tour of their mindfully curated contemporary art and a look at their collecting journey. Turn to “Culture & Collection” on page 58. Shopping local is always a good idea, but it’s even more important in difficult times. Support local artisans and entrepreneurs by buying your summer essentials and gifts right here at home. We’ve assembled a can’t-miss list of products so you can “Shop in the Sunshine,” so turn to page 66 and find something you can’t live without. Sending you happy summer vibes!
