THE EXTRA MILE
CAPEHART
When I first heard about Michael Falk’s plan to cycle more than 3,000 miles in the Race Across America, my first thought was, “No way!” My second thought was, “If anyone can do it, he can.” As Annie Falk, Michael’s wife, told me at lunch one day, “When Michael gets excited about something, then that’s it.” He had plenty of reasons to be excited. The race was Michael’s fifty-fifth birthday present to himself, a chance to push his limits and, through an intensely uncomfortable experience, emerge stronger—physically, mentally, and spiritually. In the weeks after the race, contributing writer Lola Thélin and I talked to each of the men on Michael’s team, the Plantagenets, about what they’d gone through during their seven-day trek across 12 states and some pretty varied terrain. Not surprisingly, the word “pain” came up over and over. Each of them got through it in his own way, rising above physical discomfort through positive self-talk and sheer determination. Perhaps the biggest surprise—even to them—was that they placed first in their age group. They weren’t the strongest athletes there. They weren’t even aiming to win. But when they saw they had a window, their wicked-competitive spirit kicked in and the other teams didn’t stand a chance. For his part, Michael saw their bid for first as a tactical move, a strategy straight out of the business playbook. As he tells it, “You want to win the mind game.” The Plantagenets’ story is remarkable and inspiring, not only for their contemporaries but for anyone who’s ever considered an outsize challenge. It’s through these experiences that we learn, grow, and kick self-imposed limitations to the curb. Read all about it in “All Roads Lead to RAAM” on page 66. Also in this issue is our annual salute to the arts and culture in the Palm Beaches. Managing editor Mary Murray has assembled an in-depth, thoughtful compendium of performances and exhibits you won’t want to miss this season. Grab your calendar and check out our “Cultural Preview 2017-18” package, beginning on page 72. Enjoy the issue—and a new season of thrilling events and social gatherings.

The glamorous 2017 Kips Bay Decorator Show House in New York City included a hallway designed by Scarpidis and a bedroom courtesy of Susan Ferrier.
OUR HOUSE
Philanthropy meets high-end interior design with the debut of the inaugural Kips Bay Palm Beach Show House. An offshoot of the Kips Bay Decorator Show House, which has been a fixture on the New York City design scene since 1973, the Palm Beach iteration will feature 20 top decorators reimagining a villa in the El Cid historic district. Tastemakers like Amanda Lindroth and Stephen Mooney are bringing their visions to the Mediterranean Revival home located at 196 Belmonte Road. The show house will be open for public viewing November 25 to December 19, following a preview party November 24. General admission costs $35, with proceeds benefiting Kips Bay Boys & Girls Club and the Boys & Girls Clubs of Palm Beach County. (kipsbaydecoratorshowhouse.org/palmbeach)

THE WILD SIDE There’s always something new to explore at the Palm Beach Zoo. Soon, it will open a new Lorikeet Loft, where visitors will be able to feed fruit and nectar to the pint-sized parrots. This adventure is just another example of the many wildlife encounters available at the zoo, which is renowned for its behind-the-scenes Animal Experiences. These special happenings must be booked in advance and include oneon-one time with giant anteaters, flamingos, koalas, capybaras, and an Aldabra tortoise. PBI recently went to the zoo to visit Wilbur, a 14-year-old two-toed sloth. In addition to feeding Wilbur her favorite snack (grapes) and taking a few “slothies,” we also learned many surprising tidbits about the species. Below, we highlight three must-know sloth factoids. West Palm Beach (561-547-9453, palmbeachzoo.org)
•
Known for their slow speed, sloths move at a rate of about 1.2 miles per hour.
•
Speaking of lazy lifestyles, sloths sleep 20 hours per day on average.
•
Two-toed sloths do, in fact, have two toes on their front feet but actually boast three toes on their back feet.

PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED
Judi Regal believes she was born a painter. The artist, who splits her time between Palm Beach and Chicago, became captivated with color at a young age and began creating when she was 5, starting with finger paints before graduating to watercolor and oil. While she always knew the craft was her calling, she resisted pursuing it professionally, working instead as a graphic designer and interior architect. “I’m sad to say I thought it was strange to be a painter,” Regal says of her reluctance to paint full-time. After some encouragement from her family, she decided to give it her all— and it’s certainly paid off. Next month, she’ll open her first one-woman show at the Coral Springs Museum of Art. Curated by fellow Palm Beach artist Bruce Helander, the exhibition will offer an overview of Regal’s work, which focuses primarily on landscapes and the interplay of unexpected colors. “I was always fascinated by land,” explains Regal, who often goes to the Everglades and Jupiter in search of inspiration. She especially gravitates toward locations that appear distressed, as she finds satisfaction in creating beauty where no one would ever see it. In addition to culling pieces from throughout her career, Regal also made some new works for the show, including a 10-foot composition that can be broken into four panels. “This is the biggest painting I’ve ever done,” she notes. “I needed a big piece in order to represent my world.” While she prides herself on her use of color and expert mark making, Regal more than anything trusts her vision and ability to see works through to completion. “One brushstroke can make a painting or ruin a painting,” she says. “[Art] is about making sure you’re finally ready to say, ‘It’s done.’” (judiregal.com)

MILLENNIAL PINK When it comes to Millennial Pink—the of-the-moment hue flooding Instagram feeds—flamingos were way ahead of the trend. A finite spectrum of light-rose shades, Millennial Pink is an au courant color in the beauty, home decor, and art realms. Many trace its origin to the 2014 Wes Anderson film The Grand Budapest Hotel, but a simple search of #millennialpink proves it has taken on a life all its own.

Call it a comeback. Paul Andrew, designer at Salvatore Ferragamo, has resurrected a shoe from the archives that was ahead of its time: the “F” wedge with a silk ankle strap ($895). Inspired by the profile of a ship’s stern, Ferragamo created the “F” heel in 1947 for the era’s bolder women. With curves that mimicked the lines of a cursive “F,” the shoe was an instant success and became known as the invisible heel for its light and transparent fit. Andrew reimagined the design from an original drawing to produce an updated version that embodies the marriage between technology and artisan tradition. Read on for more style revivals.

CATCH THE PRIVATE SIDE OF SOUTH AFRICA’S PREMIER NATIONAL PARK Kruger National Park is the undisputed crown jewel of South Africa’s parklands and game reserves. But given the surfeit of lodges and public camps located within Kruger, there are days when vehicles seem to outnumber even the impalas. Enter Singita Lebombo Lodge (singita.com), a 13-suite, high-design safari lodge on the eastern edge of the park with exclusive rights to a massive swath of Kruger (33,000 acres to be exact). Singita’s concession extends through four eco-zones, with the lodge itself perched above the N’Wanetsi River. This euphorbia-dotted landscape happens to be prime rhino and big cat real estate
and home to two of the world’s 13 wild white lions; I was lucky enough to see one on my last safari. Twice-daily game drives are nothing short of exhilarating, but creating private moments with fauna is the true luxury. Add to the fold architecturally stunning open-plan suites, world-class amenities (like a full spa, a lounger-lined swimming pool, a stocked wine tower for oenophiles, and a glassenclosed, restaurant-sized kitchen), plus a food and wine program that would impress the most demanding of gourmands, and you quite possibly have the superlative safari experience in all of South Africa.

Lodge (mateyasafari. com), which oozes classic safari glamour and celebrates the gamut of pan-African art through interior design, all the while offering one of the most riveting experiences in Africa: the walking safari. If willing, you can leave the Land Rover behind and head into the bush on foot, alongside Mateya’s expert rangers. Watching the shenanigans of an elephant herd from a vehicle is amazing, but witnessing this spectacle at eye-level—and completely exposed—well, that’s another experience altogether. Nature enthusiasts, scientists, and intellectual types will appreciate guides who impart near doctorate-level knowledge as part of the Mateya visit.

guides, positioning, and plain ole luck will always play a role in obtaining such snaps, the robust and diverse year-round populations of Sabi Sands Game Reserve (buffering the southwestern region of the Kruger National Park) brand it perhaps the most predictable spot in South Africa for wildlife photography. Base yourself at the eight-unit Rock Lodge
at Ulusaba (virginlimitededition.com/en/ ulusaba), Sir Richard Branson’s private safari concession (part of the greater Sabi Sands reserve), and prepare to saturate memory cards by day and luxuriate by night. Set high atop a rocky outcrop, the lodge delivers sublime panoramic views of the surrounding wildlife-speckled grasslands from en suite terraces, multilevel viewing decks, an outdoor pool, a spacious lounge, and even a state-of-the-art gymnasium. With an endless pour of fine wine, decadent snacks, and Michelin star–level cuisine never far from reach, Ulusaba equally pleases the sybarite less attached to the camera and more interested in the pampering aspects of safari.

MEET THE NEIGHBORS: MOZAMBIQUE
Though dreamy, safaris entail intense days in the bush, and reaching South Africa requires
long-haul flights and jet lag adjustment. Consider starting on a relaxing note in the proximate Bazaruto Archipelago in neighboring Mozambique. Flight schedules on Airlink (flyairlink.com), the regional feeder airline under South Africa Airways, work well with U.S. arrivals into Johannesburg, getting you to the beach town of Vilanculos within hours of landing. From there, hop on a boat to Anantara Bazaruto Island Resort (bazaruto.anantara.com), a private paradise blessed with jewel-toned waters, a palm-laced coastline, towering interior sand dunes, untouched coral reefs, and underwater deserts. By day, amble along the beach for hours without seeing another human and later retreat to your villa for the sunset as dolphins dance in the distance and dhow boats return to the Mozambique mainland. Gorge on sublime seafood and request to “Dine by Design,” where private meals are served on a sandbar. You’ll soon be relaxed, recharged, and ready to take on the African bush. «

PHOTOS COURTESY OF THE ALLISON INN & SPA
Oregon Awakening The Allison Inn & Spa celebrates the flavor and spirit of Oregon wine country By Mary Murray Something’s growing in Oregon. This Pacific Northwest state blooms with a variety of desirable crops. Lavender paints hilltops purple, producing a romantic fragrance reminiscent of a fine French perfumery. Hazelnut trees line up in perfect order and yield delicious morsels commonly listed on Oregonian menus as filberts. Pinot Noir grapes thrive in the rocky soil and long grow season, when damp winters give way to warm summer days and breezy evenings. The Allison Inn & Spa is situated amid this bounty in the Willamette Valley, Oregon’s largest wine region. Here, the farm-to-table concept permeates all walks of life—not just cuisine—and a passion for supporting local purveyors is palpable across the property. Sculptures by area artists dot an idyllic walking trail. Grape seeds and herbs grown on-site pop up in spa treatments. A snack All rooms feature outdoor space and a fireplace.

After walking the grounds, kick back in the communal living room, where you can sample The Allison’s locavore-centric food and beverage program.
basket of regional treats (chocolate-covered filberts, anyone?) greets guests upon arrival. Since opening in September 2009, The Allison has set the standard for Willamette Valley luxury accommodations. Beyond quaint bed and breakfasts, The Allison is the place to stay when sojourning to Oregon wine country—and many valley vintners praise the resort for helping put the region on the elite travel radar. A study in understated elegance, the 77 rooms and eight suites all house fireplaces and terraces, where guests can watch hot air balloons rise along with the sun. Most visitors spend their days exploring the roughly 500 wineries that make up the Willamette Valley American Viticultural Area, which is divided into six subregions. These expeditions are made easy by a bevy of transportation services that take oenophiles from one site to the next. The Allison also offers day use of Lexus test cars, so you can winery hop on your own time and in high style. When in need of a respite between tastings, relax in one of the many modern Adirondack chairs that line the resort’s 32 acres or curl up with a charcuterie board in front of the communal living room fireplace. The Allison Spa is another sanctuary for relaxation. The 15,000-square-foot facility is outfitted with multiple sun terraces and designs its treatments around ecological elements. The signature Mimosa massage incorporates a Champagne oil that will leave skin feeling refreshed and effervescent.
Chef’s Table at Jory
Domaine Drouhin
Speaking of libations, the wine selection at Jory, The Allison’s fine dining restaurant, boasts more than 800 labels, about 65 percent of which are from the Pacific Northwest. Guests can even get to know the vintners behind the bottles at tastings held every Thursday. Some of the wines come courtesy of The Allison’s own vineyard, but the property produces so much more than Pinot Noir. Measuring an acre and a half, the Chef’s Garden grows everything it possibly can for use in Jory’s seasonal menus inspired by the Willamette Valley’s indigenous delights. The garden delivers standard produce but doesn’t shy away from more peculiar kitchen requests like oca, an Andean tuber with a sour flavor. Tours of the garden are available by request, and if you hear some buzzing during your visit, don’t fret: Tucked away in one corner are five hives that make honey for the whole hotel. Most of that nectar ends up at Jory. Armed with a résumé that includes stints at Napa Valley’s French Laundry and El Bullí in Spain, chef Sunny Jin is constantly updating Jory’s offerings to reflect the best of the garden and to highlight artisan items, such as handmade cheeses from Oregon’s own Briar Rose Creamery. It all commingles in innovative dishes like wild Oregon king salmon paired with chanterelles, pardon peppers, charred sweet corn, and an apricot coulis. Diners can watch these works of culinary art come together by reserving a seat at the Chef’s Table or the counter adjacent to the open kitchen. Here, fires dance and china clings in tune to a soundtrack of epicurean excitement. (theallison.com) «

A four-level, gravity-flow winery sits amid 124 vineyard acres and is open daily for tastings. Many of its finest varietals are named for winemaker Véronique Drouhin-Boss’ children, like the Chardonnay Arthur and the Pinot Noir Laurène. (domainedrouhin.com)

Brick House Vineyard: Following a former life as a foreign news correspondent, Doug Tunnell returned to his native Oregon to pursue his real passion: Pinot Noir. Schedule a private tasting to savor a few of his finest vintages of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Gamay Noir, and to walk the vineyard with Tunnell and Jewel, Brick House’s resident Labrador. (brickhousewines.com) Red Ridge Farms: In a land of extraordinary views, nothing compares to the vista at Red Ridge, home to Durant Vineyards and Oregon Olive Mill. After sampling a flight at Durant, head down to the farm store to taste a range of extra virgin olive oils in flavors like lemon and blood orange. It’s also the prime place to pick up some lavender keepsakes. (redridgefarms.com)

Singing the Blues A turn behind the wheel of Bentley’s extraordinary Bentayga SUV will leave drivers scrabbling for superlatives

aul Newman’s peepers were never this blue. The waters off Bora Bora? Not even close. Leonard Cohen’s famous raincoat? Way too dark. If you want to gaze at the most mesmerizing shade of Windex-blue mixed with the azure of Capri’s Blue Grotto, look no further than the hue adorning the latest Bentley Bentayga high-luxe SUV I’ve been driving. They don’t even call it blue. Its official, rather unimaginative title is Silverlake. But to me, it’s quite possibly the most breathtaking, lustinducing Pantone to ever adorn a vehicle. And I’m not alone in my thinking, judging by the frenzied attention of camera phone–toting pedestrians, selfie-seeking passersby, or the nice lady who rolled down her BMW window and screamed, “Awesome color!” from the middle lane of I-75—at 75 mph. Most auto enthusiasts know all about the Bentayga. It’s the fastest, most powerful, most luxurious, most fabulous SUV to ever roll out of any supermarket parking lot. Yes, a Bentley SUV. Still seems kind of weird. This is one handsome beast, with all the requisite honeycomb

grilles up front and huge 21-inch rims at each corner. That being said, the lines are just a tad predictable; it’s as if the designers took a bunch of Bentley styling cues, threw them in the automotive blender, and stuck with what came out. Ultimately, it lacks the elegance, class, and fluidity of, say, a long-wheelbase Range Rover Autobiography. But open the hefty door, slide behind that two-tone leather wheel, and prepare to go giddy with excitement. The entire cabin is nothing less than a masterpiece of interior glam, where purple-blue leather graces the dash and chalky-cream hides cover the seats. Architectural Digest rarely features New York penthouses this sumptuous. The real beauty is that everything is customizable. Bentley’s “your wish is my command” Bespoke department will install any color combo of leather, wood veneer, and carpeting buyers can dream up. Want to get creative? A call to Bentley’s Mulliner division can lead to everything from one-of-a-kind leather luggage to stone veneers for the dash to a custom basket for alfresco picnics, crafted by royal furniture maker David Linley, nephew of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
What comes standard, however, is space. And lots of it. Space to seat five in stretch-out, good-for-the-next-500-miles comfort. Space in the trunk for a plethora of sporting paraphernalia, maybe even a $10,000 Hermès Talaris riding saddle or a Honma 14-piece set of clubs, a steal at roughly $76,000.

Through variations in terrain, altitude, and weather, four local men endured the most strenuous two-wheeled race through mental fortitude, perseverance, and, surprisingly, business acumen. This is how the Plantagenets conquered the Race Across America. 66

t’s past midnight, the sky is clear and dotted, and a single cyclist is on the road, surrounded by the vast landscape of the Gettysburg National Military Park in Pennsylvania. A vehicle is looming nearby, but other than the headlights, Chris Huffman is alone among the 53,000 lost souls of the Battle of Gettysburg, a deciding fight during the Civil War. It’s eerie, peaceful, and inspiring, but he speeds past. There’s no time to absorb the scenery when the finish line looms. Huffman and his three teammates are nearing the end of a seven-day challenge during which they’ve cycled 3,143 miles across 12 states, three major mountain ranges, four rivers, two deserts, and the Great Plains. They’ve climbed 170,000 feet on bikes, burning up-

ward of 3,000 calories in a single day. The clock has been ticking since June 17—and they’re on track to take first place in their division. How four middle-aged men from the Palm Beaches came to dominate the ultraendurance competition named Race Across America (RAAM) is a story that has resonated with everyone from family to business associates to recreational athletes wanting to up their game. And to think, winning wasn’t originally part of their game plan. “We just wanted to have a respectable time,” says Michael Falk, who had the initial idea to race and assembled the team called the Plantagenets. “The people who do this kind of race are endurance athletes. We all said we couldn’t compete with [them].”
Yet on June 25, seven and a half days after they started at Oceanside, California, the Plantagenets crossed the finish line in Annapolis, Maryland, four hours ahead of the secondplace team and claimed the top prize in their age group. It wasn’t because they were the best cyclists on the road. “For us, it was a mental game,” Falk says. “I thought to a large extent we’d have to outsmart competitors.” This challenge—physical, intellectual, and spiritual—was what Falk was seeking as he neared his fifty-fifth birthday. His wife, Annie, recalls the conversation a couple of months prior to the big event: “I heard the first rumblings of ‘My birthday’s coming up, it’s a big one, and I want to do something special this year.’ He had a friend who had done the
"For us, it was a mental game. I thought to a large extent we'd have to outsmart competitors." UMICHAEL FALK Followed by a crew of 13, the cyclists traversed 12 states and landmarks like Monument Valley (opposite page). They worked in pairs over 10-hour shifts, alternating every 30 or 15 minutes.
[RAAM] race and made it sound very doable. Michael got excited—and when he gets excited about something, then that’s it.” With Annie’s support, Falk pieced together his team and crew. He ran it like a business, choosing a leader, assigning roles, and getting everyone focused on a mission and pulling in the same direction. He chose longtime friend Tim Moran as the 13-person crew leader to hire key support members such as trainers, drivers, a masseuse, and a chef to get across the country as safely and quickly as possible. For the team, he went first to Chad Wilkinson, 43, “a great athlete who’s also a good friend.” Wilkinson, the co-owner of Centerpoint Construction and a former Marine, had completed several Ironman triathlons and
marathons over 15 years. Though not a competitive cyclist, Wilkinson was ready for the challenge. Falk’s close friend and business partner at Comvest Partners for 25 years, Robert O’Sullivan, 46, was determined to join, even if he wasn’t in prime shape. Falk recalls, “Robert heard me talk about RAAM and said ‘Michael, if you’re doing it, I’m doing it.’” Moran then introduced Falk to Chris Huffman, 65, the director of service at Braman Motorcars. Despite his age, Huffman was an active athlete who’d been competing for years in running, cycling, and golf, averaging 12,000 miles a year on his bike alone. He would be the Plantagenets’ most experienced cyclist. Everything was falling into place, yet some-
thing was missing. Wanting to add a greater purpose to the endeavor, the Falks decided to include a fundraising component. They fully funded the RAAM expenses, nearing $100,000, through their family foundation so all money raised could benefit three Palm Beach County nonprofits: Opportunity, Palm Beach Police Foundation, and the American Heart Association’s Teaching Gardens. The training was grueling, Falk admits. He hired a coach and started the intense conditioning three months prior to the race. He rose at 4:30 a.m. and rode two to three hours on weekdays and 50-100 miles on each weekend day. Then there were the intervals. “We had to hold a certain speed and power for 15 to 30 minutes, and do that over and over,” Falk says. PALMBEACHILLUSTRATED.COM | NOVEMBER 2017
69
After seven days, 16 hours, and seven minutes on the road, the Plantagenets crossed the RAAM finish line and celebrated with their crew. At least two of the cyclists say they would do it all again.
“You get to a point where you can’t mentally do it. Then you stop thinking about it and do what you have to do. And after, you’re amazed that you did it.” This push served them well during the race. “Days two, three, and four were very painful,” Wilkinson says. “I’ve always gone back to a ‘It’s going to hurt no matter what, so embrace that suffering and pain and drive through it’ mentality. As long as you don’t let that snowball into failure, then you can get through it.” For a week straight, the team endured extreme discomfort. The men faced a strenuous schedule, sleep deprivation (allotted five hours, and that is if they actually fell asleep in the van), lack of visibility at times, driving rain, cold conditions, and a heat index of up to 115 degrees. The relay pairs—Falk and Wilkinson, and Huffman and O’Sullivan—were each assigned to 10-hour shifts. A driver, navigator, and mechanic followed nearby in a van. The riders typically switched every 30 minutes; during particularly intense climbs and conditions, the interval was cut to 15 minutes. In off times, the men strategized, rested, ate, and received Rolfing bodywork, an aggressive and painful deep-tissue massage. In an endurance race like this, riders can become disoriented, drained of energy, and susceptible to impaired judgment. On another team, a rider got heat stroke and was in a coma. In 2003 and 2005, racers died due to collisions with vehicles. In 2010, a participant became paralyzed from the waist down after being hit by a car. This is why the crew is as important as the team. “As a rider, you have to give up control of making decisions, turn it over to the crew, and 70 PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED
trust they are going to take care of your physical and mental health,” says Wilkinson. With the array of challenges facing them, and a heavy favorite and repeat winner in their category, the team had no expectation to dominate their age group. At the end of day one, the Plantagenets were in third place with a Brazilian team about seven miles ahead. On the second day, the team passed the Brazilians going up a hill. This was a turning point: They saw they had a chance to win, and that changed everything. By day three, the Plantagenets had a 50mile lead, but exhaustion kicked in and another group began to close the gap. The team strategized and refined, using their business acumen to regain their advantage. “When you’re making a deal or buying a business or negotiating anything, you have to put yourself in the other person’s place,” says Falk. “You have to figure out what they’re thinking, and that helps you know what to do. You want to win the mind game.” For the Plantagenets, that meant refocusing and outriding the competition. “I’m sure that team saw they gained so much on us, and they thought they would win,” says Falk. “When they saw we reversed it, when we physically sent that message to them, they were [defeated]. Getting their minds to not think they can win was really important to me. The physical pressure is extraordinary. You can’t really do that, so you have to be tactical. At our age at least.” For all the men, this was a test of mind over matter. “Winning that race was one of those classic examples of how we had set a selfimposed limit: We thought we had no chance to win,” says Huffman. “My mantra is to be
able to exceed self-imposed limits.” “I’ve never been overly fearful of tough circumstances, but experiencing the extreme physical and mental discomfort of cycling RAAM has substantially reduced my fear of just about anything,” adds Falk. “In the end, you realize we as human beings are resilient.” It’s been several months since RAAM, and its ripples are still radiating. The Plantagenets’ story inspired so many that they raised more than $400,000 for the three nonprofits—and more support pours in every day. Two of the men, O’Sullivan and Huffman, are considering a RAAM repeat. “My favorite quote, ‘To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all,’ by Oscar Wilde, kind of sums up what this experience was all about for me,” says O’Sullivan. “I really think it’s made me a better person and I am even seriously thinking about asking my wife for permission to do it again.” Huffman is 100-percent convinced age really is just a number. There is no chance he will stop living life enthusiastically or stop challenging himself, a lesson this experience has driven home. “I now make a conscious effort every day to more openly express my gratitude,” he says. For Falk, the realization that any dream— even those that seem unrealistic—can be attained is stronger than ever. “Much that seemed impossible and unpredictable came together perfectly,” he says of the race. “Human life is fraught with challenges, some quite severe. Feeling more confident in my ability to mindfully face these challenges is a blessing this experience has provided me.” «

Festival of the Arts Boca takes residence in Mizner Park February 23 to March 4. Now in its twelfth year, the festival will serve up a few of its signature showings, as well as a surprise or two. Highlights include a performance by violinist Itzhak Perlman February 24 and a screening of E.T. the ExtraTerrestrial accompanied live by The Symphonia Boca Raton March 4. In his fourth appearance at the festival, Perlman returns for In the Fiddler’s House, a celebration of klezmer instrumentation. A 10-piece ensemble will join Perlman for this journey through Jewish musical traditions, with stops in Manhattan’s Lower East Side and Krakow, Poland. Perhaps the most peculiar production on the Festival of the Arts Boca schedule comes courtesy of comedian Bill Murray. Best known for his stint on Saturday Night Live and roles in hit movies like Ghostbusters and Lost in Translation, Murray has added successful singer and orator to his list of accomplishments. This year, he joined forces with cellist Jan Vogler, violinist Mira Wang, and pianist Vanessa Perez to create a stage show and album entitled New Worlds. A mix of literature and song, New Worlds had its U.S. premiere at Festival Napa Valley in July before embarking on a national tour. The quartet will arrive at the Mizner Park Amphitheater March 2 for unparalleled pairings of music and prose—think readings from The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn carried on the notes of “Moon River.” (561-368-8445, festivaloftheartsboca.org)

Two Mormon missionaries head to Uganda and quickly encounter the country’s turmoil. Undeterred, they befriend the village chief and his daughter while trying to spread the gospel of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

The Book of Mormon
Something Rotten! takes place in 1590s London, where Nick and Nigel Bottom are desperate to write a hit play but feel overshadowed by a certain William Shakespeare. When a soothsayer named Nostradamus (not the famous one, but his nephew) advises the Bottom brothers that musicals are the future of theater, they set out to write the first one ever. Biggest Hit: “God, I Hate Shakespeare” encapsulates Nick and Nigel’s detestation for the Bard of Avon. Why You Should See It: For all its irreverence, Something Rotten! is a sincere celebration of the art of the musical, one packed with references theater nerds will adore.

THEATRE LAB In addition to its annual New Play Festival scheduled for January 3-7, Theatre Lab, Florida Atlantic University’s professional resident company, will stage a trio of new works as part of its 2017-18 season. First up is the world premiere of Peter Sagal’s Most Wanted, which we highlight in detail on page 151.

Palm Beach Dramaworks
Downtown West Palm Beach’s premier repertory theater has balanced its 2017-18 offerings with a mix of tried-and-true plays and world premieres. The established works include Lillian Hellman’s The Little Foxes (to November 12), Ernest Thompson’s On Golden Pond (January 31 to February 25), and Peter Shaffer’s Equus (May 16 to June 10). Intermixed are two new plays by Terry Teachout and Joseph McDonough. An acclaimed author and theater critic, Teachout explores the real-life friendship between playwrights Tennessee Williams and William Inge in Billy & Me (December 6-31). Conversely, McDonough builds an imaginary scenario between writers Edgar Allan Poe and Emily Dickinson for Edgar & Emily (March 28 to April 22). The year is 1864, and, unlike the real Poe who passed away in 1849, this fictional Poe is on the run from a would-be assassin when he encounters the meek wannabe poet. Here, McDonough chats with PBI about Edgar & Emily and the task of bringing two of history’s greatest scribes to life. (561-514-4042, palmbeachdramaworks.org)

PBI: What was the genesis of the idea for this play? McDonough: I was always interested in the two literary figures of Edgar Allan Poe and Emily Dickinson. They have, I think, different personas in the public’s consciousness. Poe was ghoulish and mysterious, and Dickinson has this spinster perception because she was kind of a recluse. About two years ago, I thought, “What if I put them together in the same room? I think I could have fun with that.” How did your familiarity with their writing styles impact their dialogue and how they speak? I felt like I slipped into their speaking styles pretty quickly and easily. He’s a little more flamboyant. She’s a little more prim and proper, but she also has a real spunky side. I’ve actually found in my research that she wasn’t this humorless, dour, sad person at all. She had a lot of vitality and life to her, which appealed to me and will be brought out in the play with the brilliant actors we have. Did you weave any of their poetry and prose into the dialogue? Yes, actually. She quotes from her poetry quite a bit and he makes some references, as well. [In the play,] she’s unknown as a poet, and, well, he’s dead, but he’s very well known. She has him read some of her poetry and give a critique, which she’s very nervous about. He’s not particularly kind and there’s a lot of comedy that goes with that. Then she critiques some of his writing, which he can’t stand. Do you feel like this is a play for writers or a play for readers? What kind of audience did you imagine? A smart audience. It’s certainly a play for writers, for readers, for people who obviously enjoy theater. My Emily and my Edgar are very theatrical. Poe was actually the child of two actors, and he has a very flamboyant sense to him. I want people to [think] the play is much funnier than they were anticipating but [also] gives them a lot to think about as they drive home.
CULTURAL PREVIEW 2017-18
Maltz Jupiter Theatre
The Maltz never disappoints. This Carbonell Award darling consistently produces family-friendly shows of outstanding quality—and this year is no exception. Audiences are currently giggling with glee for Born Yesterday, a charming comedy onstage through November 12. We can’t wait to see how the Maltz, which is locally lauded for its musical prowess, tackles Disney Newsies (November 28 to December 17), Hairspray (January 9-28), and South Pacific (March 6-25). There’s also An Inspector Calls (February 4-18), a psychological thriller that revolves around a wealthy family and a murdered acquaintance. Beyond its main-stage productions, the Maltz will also host many limited engagements, including Simply Streisand, featuring Carla Del Villaggio singing the best of Babs, January 15; The Children of Willesden Lane, a compelling one-woman show about a teenage Holocaust survivor, February 21; and Celtic Tenors, a world-renowned vocal group that can belt out “Danny Boy” like no other, March 12. (561-575-2223, jupitertheatre.org)
This season, the Maltz welcomes (clockwise from above) Simply Streisand, The Children of Willesden Lane, and Celtic Tenors.
Lake Worth Playhouse
Lake Worth Playhouse might be two shows deep into its season already, but there’s still plenty to see at this 65-year-old community institution. The satirical holiday hit A Christmas Story ushers in the yuletide spirit November 16 to December 3. Three blockbuster musicals follow: Paint Your Wagon (January 18 to February 4), Lend Me a Tenor (March 1-18), and Oliver! (April 12-29). More entertainment awaits at Stonzek Theatre, the playhouse’s adjacent black box venue. Now through November 5, catch Lobby Hero, a drama from Kenneth Lonergan, writer and director of the critically acclaimed 2016 film Manchester by the Sea. Leslye Headland’s Bachelorette follows with a few laughs February 1-11, while Bent, a Tony-nominated play about the persecution of gay men in Nazi Germany, closes the season April 26 to May 6. (561-586-6410, lakeworthplayhouse.org)
The Wick Theatre and Costume Museum
The Wick Theatre and Costume Museum in Boca Raton celebrates the glitz of showmanship and the charm of the American musical canon with five main-stage shows and a new costume exhibition. Its lineup includes favorites like Singin’ in the Rain (January 11 to February 18) and Brigadoon (March 8 to April 8), but we highly recommend a lesser-known comedy, The Drowsy Chaperone (to November 12). This Tony Award winner borrows themes and motifs from the jazz era’s best shows, resulting in a hysterical homage to the art of the musical. Whether you’re heading down to The Wick for a performance or a bite to eat at The Tavern, be sure to check out “Bling: The Brilliant History of Glitz.” This fifth annual installation opened last month and displays dozens of highly embellished costumes from Broadway shows like La Cage aux Folles and The Producers, as well as pieces from Liberace’s personal collection of stage ensembles. Daily tours are available throughout the season, but stop by on November 6 when Jonathan Warren, the executive director of the Liberace Foundation for the Creative and Performing Arts, will give a lecture on the man behind the sequins.

Brian Brooks with Miami City Ballet dancers
based in Chicago, Brooks found immense inspiration in the diversity of South Florida and the dancers of MCB. “People come from a lot of different countries and backgrounds in Florida, but also in Miami City Ballet, which is somewhat unique for a classical company,” Brooks says. “They were incredibly generous with me. We talk about taking risks, and I feel like the dancers helped me widen my safety net so I can jump a little farther. And for them, as well. They were excited to go into new areas of their artistry.” Brooks’ modern approach to dance often revolves around a fascination with the physics of the human body. He enjoys playing with speed, force, and the idea of tipping everything slightly off-balance. “You’ll rarely see a piece of mine that feels very upright,” he says. “Rather than masking effort, the inner workings of the partnerships, and the contacts that happen within a piece, I like to bring that all to the forefront so there’s a certain sportsmanship that is always evident.” The same philosophy applies to One Line Drawn, which stars eight men and eight women. “The women are on pointe, and my work has not sacrificed its speed or off-kilter propulsion,” explains Brooks, who also credits Michael Gordon’s commissioned score with adding momentum to the work as a whole. “It moves like the waves,” he says of the music. “It propels you from moment to moment, and steers around corners and then comes out in new places in a really beautiful and surprising way.” While One Line Drawn will only account for 25 minutes of Miami City Ballet’s season, it will surely leave audiences craving more from this rising star. For Brooks, the opportunity to create art that speaks beyond the movement itself and to share that message with a wider audience is reward enough. (305-929-7010, miamicityballet.org)

Henry and Mary Lily Flagler would undoubtedly be proud to see their love of chamber music continued with the Flagler Museum Music Series. From January through March, melodic tones will fill Whitehall’s West Room, transporting audiences to an era of elegance and aural opulence. The Tesla Quartet opens the series January 9. This young string ensemble formed at The Juilliard School in 2008 and has spent the better part of a decade progressing under the tutelage of acclaimed groups like the Takács Quartet and the Tokyo String Quartet. Subtract a few strings and add some keys to land at the Hermitage Piano Trio, appearing at the Flagler January 23. Originally from Russia, these performers specialize in the music of their native land, but don’t shy away from European compositions and new American works. Craving a woodwind? Then attend the Prima Trio February 6. Graduates of the Oberlin Conservatory of Music in Ohio, Prima features Boris Allakhverdyan on clarinet, Gulia Gurevich on violin, and Anastasia Dedik on piano. When it comes to distinguished solo careers, look no further than the members of the Boston Trio. Each has starred alongside big-name symphonies, and its founder, pianist Heng-Jin Park, made her solo debut with the Boston Pops at the age of 15. They’ll come together at the Flagler February 20. The Henschel Quartet will close the series March 6. This long-established group, which welcomed violinist Catalin Desaga in 2016, has played at an array of impressive venues, including the Vatican, the Royal Palace of Madrid, and Suntory Hall in Tokyo.

Roger Ward’s career has taken him many places, but his heart has never strayed far from Palm Beach County. After more than 10 years as the deputy director and chief curator at the Norton Museum of Art, he pursued various freelance projects before landing at the Mississippi Museum of Art. Through it all, he kept his local apartment and an eye on one particular institution: the Ann Norton Sculpture Gardens in West Palm Beach. “It’s very unique as an artist’s house, museum, and gardens,” Ward says. “There’s nothing else like it in South Florida.” When ANSG began the hunt for new leadership, Ward was interested—very interested. “It seemed [like] a remarkable kind of challenge for somebody who had been around many rodeos in the art museum field,” he says. Since starting as president and CEO in March, Ward has applied his professional experience and expertise in sculpture to bettering the organization and focusing the mission behind its special exhibitions. “Everything we do either reflects upon or illuminates some aspect of Ann Norton’s career,” he explains. “I want to have exhibitions that are relevant to her as an artist, that illuminate her career or feature artists who were her contemporaries and who also came to Florida to see these rather unusual and exotic things.” ANSG’s first exhibition of the season embraces this goal. “Ann Weaver Norton: Gateways to Modernism,” on view through November 26, chronicles her creative evolution through drawings, maquettes, and sculptures. Then, ANSG
will mount three shows built around artists who share at least one of Norton’s hobbies: flowers in the case of “Gordon Cheung: New Order ‘Vanitas,’” December 9 to February 4; sculptures with “Celebrating Boaz Vaadia (19512017),” January 11 to April 29; and Florida’s native flora in “Behold a New Eden: Laura Woodward and the Creation of Palm Beach,” February 10 to May 20. Moving forward, Ward hopes to help ANSG earn a reputation as a true gathering space for art, history, science, and conservation. Future plans include rebuilding the entryway and producing an exhibition of Norton’s notebooks and other personal memorabilia. Until then, Ward most likely can be found inside her studio, casting shadows in the same northern light she found so inspiring. (561-8325328, ansg.org)

and mindful of his style. “Ohr is a prism that deflects time and links primal creativity,” Clark explains in a curatorial essay. “The purpose [is] a comparative study about artists, all working with the same tool kit Ohr had pioneered, all decidedly irreverent in their processes, and all highly informal in their use of form.” Photography fans also have a home at the Boca Raton Museum of Art thanks to the newly created “Contemporary Photography Forum.” This recurring showcase was founded with the dual goal of augmenting the museum’s photography collection and providing emerging artists with a platform to broadcast their points of view, all of which start with photography. The inaugural exhibition includes American Daniel Gordon, Canadian Paul Kneale, and German Florian Maier-Aichen. Beyond their similarity in age—with the youngest born in 1986 and the oldest in 1973—each pursues a unique approach to digital imagery, using the medium to push their artistry beyond the instant gratification of smartphone photography and toward a more enduring result.

Boca Raton Museum of Art got a jump start when, in August, it opened a slew of special exhibitions. Many closed in late October, but “Deep Line Drawings by Carlos Luna,” composed of new works by the Cuban-born, Miami-based artist, is on display through the end of the year. This month, the museum starts anew with a trio of exciting—and very different— shows, all of which open November 7 and extend through April 8. For a dose of fine art on a micro level, check out “Alex Katz: Small Paintings.” The 90-year-old New York native has appeared in more than 200 solo shows and 500 group exhibitions. These “Small Paintings” primarily began as test sketches but, when viewed on their own, capture another side of this highly regarded artist. From a modern master to an innovator who only gained notoriety posthumously, “Regarding George Ohr: Contemporary Ceramics in the Spirit of the Mad Potter” spotlights artists who push the limits of ceramics. The show begins with 24 pieces by George Ohr. Although unknown at the time of his death in 1918, Ohr entered the contemporary art consciousness in 1969, when an antiques dealer found a stockpile of his unconventional creations in an attic. Guest curator Garth Clark pairs Ohr’s work with items not necessarily inspired by Ohr but complimentary to

The Norton began the year with a bang, with the world premiere of “Earth Works: Mapping the Anthropocene,” on view until January 14. After “Earth Works” closes, the Norton will welcome “Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney: Sculpture” from January 25 to April 29. Revered for her legacy as a patron, Whitney was an artist in her own right. This exhibition of 40 of her drawings and sculptures is the first showing of her work since her death in 1942. Concurrently, from February 8 to March 18, visitors can also view “Jean-Michel Basquiat: Drawing Interior of one of Miss into Painting,” comprising some of the most astonishing Lucy’s dollhouses works Basquiat created during his all-too-short life. As part of its “Spotlight” series, the Norton will offer a miniature approach to fine art. From December 14 to February 4, guests are invited to “Miss Lucy’s Three-Day Dollhouse Party.” Allow us to explain: Roughly 25 years ago, Jupiter resident and contemporary art collector Douglas Andrews asked a few of his artist friends—Cy Twombly among them, no big deal—to make tiny artworks to hang inside his mother’s dollhouses. The result is an outstanding group of pint-sized masterpieces any art aficionado would envy. (561-832-5196, norton.org)

Twentyeight of his vibrant landscapes will be displayed alongside photos, film clips, and memorabilia as part of “A Man for All Seasons: The Art of Winston Churchill” from December 2 to January 14. On December 9, local artist Edwina Sandys, who also happens to be Churchill’s granddaughter, will lead an illustrated lecture on her grandfather’s life and artistic legacy. Afterward, trade war stories for colorful clothing with “Isabelle de Borchgrave: Fashioning Art from Paper.” In lieu of needle and thread, Belgian-born Borchgrave crafts outstanding garments out of rag paper. Inspired by notable outfits from history and art, she has recreated court dresses worn by Elizabeth I and a floral frock culled from a circa-1480s Botticelli painting, among others. The Society of the Four Arts will showcase Borchgrave’s paper masterpieces January 27 to April 15. Want to know the ins and outs of her creative process?

Just south of Palm Beach is an equally posh enclave you don’t hear as much about: Manalapan. That’s how the locals like it. It’s every bit as luxurious but a lot more private than its glittering neighbor. Manalapan’s hospitality gem, Eau Palm Beach Resort & Spa, feels deliciously removed, yet its vibe is so au courant—and so cheeky!—that you actually want to be seen. A big attraction here is the decor, masterminded by the King of Cheek himself, potter/designer Jonathan Adler. Adler, whose manifesto is “Minimalism is a bummer,” was fearless in blending turquoise, navy, sunny yellow, and bursts of silver, punctuated by needlepoint and prints of Slim Aarons photography. Suites are a riot of color and texture, guaranteed to make you smile. Eau Spa, a true altar of self-indulgence, is worth the staycation alone. The experience begins at a wishing well, where you set your intentions for the day, followed by a moment of reflection in the Self-Centered Garden, where bucket chairs swing from the ceiling over a pool of shallow water.

Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, Sundy House is a storied gem in Delray Beach. John Shaw Sundy, the former construction superintendent of the Florida East Coast Railway and mayor of Delray Beach, built what is now the boutique inn in 1902. The Victorian-style structure served as the family’s home, the storefront of their feed and fertilizer business, and the school where John’s wife taught Delray’s pioneer children. Today, its current owner, environmentalist Tom Worrell, has fully restored the main house and a number of cottages tucked away in the surrounding Taru Gardens. Sundy House’s rich history and unbridled beauty grows bountiful here. Along the tranquil paths, visitors will find turtle- and fish-filled ponds, waterfalls, streams, benches, gazebos, and the oldest documented Royal Poinciana tree in Palm Beach County, planted in 1919. More than 500 varieties of foliage flourish around this landmark and stretch across a full acre. There’s also a hidden cenote, a freshwater LUXURIOUS ACCOMMODATIONS AND LEGENDARY pool where guests can swim and take in the COURSES DESIGNED BY THE LIKES OF JACK NICKsounds and sights of nature.

elements makes for an ideal escape, where guests can easily forget they’re blocks away from Atlantic Avenue. The Sundy House restaurant also allows ample opportunities to appreciate the native flora and fauna, with multiple outdoor patios, floor-to-ceiling windows, and tables scattered throughout the gardens. For a mini staycation, make a reservation for the legendary brunch buffet, available on Sundays (Saturdays are à la carte). The spread occupies two rooms and features omelet, crepe, and carving stations; a selection of charcuterie and cheeses; hot dishes like paella and eggs benedict; fresh seafood including oysters and king crab legs; and a dessert and sundae bar. Mimosas, sangria, and Bloody Marys are all bottomless, and diners can customize the latter with accouterments at the greenhouse-style bar. Thankfully, there’s no better place to walk off the inevitable food coma than the peaceful gardens. (561-272-5678, sundyhouse.com) —Liz Petoniak
Situated on the Boca Raton Inlet, Waterstone Resort & Marina boasts some of the best waterside vistas in South County. By day, the property is a boater’s paradise. Those traveling by sea can dock and grab a bite at the casual Waterstone Rum Bar & Grill (we recommend the smoked fish dip and the Old Cuban cocktail), lie by the pool, or relax in a shaded hammock. Visit on Sunday afternoon, when a steel drummer draws a lively crowd of locals. By night, the resort’s fine dining restaurant, Boca Landing, makes for a romantic scene, with Lake Boca Raton visible from every seat. When it’s time to retreat in for the evening, the cozy, coastal-contemporary suites with panoramic ocean views are equally serene. (561-3689500, waterstoneboca.com) —L.P.

South County’s oldest, most historic hotel remains its most lauded. Addison Mizner took inspiration from Spanish castles when designing the Boca Raton Resort, which opened in 1926. Now a member of the Waldorf Astoria family, this lavish property delivers the perfect mini getaway for couples, families, and solo excursions. Children love learning to surf and body board at the on-site Flow House Boca—and are certain to cap off any activity with a decadent sundae at Serendipity. Adults flock to the award-winning spa and mark many a date night with superb sushi at Morimoto. (561447-3000, bocaresort.com) —Mary Murray
Gloria and Emilio Estefan’s Costa d’Este Beach Resort & Spa allows staycationers to savor Miami’s sexy vibe in the more relaxed setting of Vero Beach. The experi-
ence begins with a glass of bubbly upon arrival in the orchid-filled lobby, which exudes a Latin sensuality prevalent throughout the 94 rooms and suites. Authentic Cuban flavor awaits at The Wave Kitchen & Bar, where diners can taste local ceviche and bistec de palomilla (a traditional steak preparation) while enjoying live music. The bottomless mimosa or Bloody Mary brunch, with dishes like Cuban-style eggs benedict and dulce de leche–stuffed French toast, is also a must. When relaxation beckons, visit the spa, sip a Paloma by the pool, or hit the beach just steps away. Guests can also borrow a bike to explore Vero’s shops, locally owned eateries, and attractions like Orchid Island Brewery. (777-562-9919, costadeste.com) —L.P.

The Chesterfield
In the midst of the tropical haven that is Palm Beach, it’s lovely to have something so very British. The Chesterfield, the Palm Beach outpost of the beloved London hotel of the same name, is a bastion of Englishness, with traditional afternoon tea service (those scones, though) and classic furnishings that could belong in a manor across the pond (Canopies! Fabric-covered walls!). The best reason to book a staycation is the newly upgraded Presidential Suite, a super-private, apartment-style residence on the top floor. The space is admittedly very pink, from the Indian silk wall treatment to the upholstery, but it feels so chic and luxe. The genius is in the details: his and hers marble baths with day and evening lighting, arrangements of dried Parisian roses, and modern art for a counterintuitive note. A highlight of a stay at The Chesterfield is The Leopard Lounge, an island institution. The restaurant offers all the classics from past and present, and the bar is a weekend hot spot for imbibing and dancing to live music. If only those walls (and that famous painted ceiling) could talk. (561-659-5800, chesterfieldpb.com) —D.N. PALMBEACHILLUSTRATED.COM | NOVEMBER 2017

KIMPTON VERO BEACH HOTEL & SPA There’s no place like home, but Kimpton’s Vero Beach Hotel & Spa is a close second. The hotel’s West Indies–inspired design and oversized rooms and suites ooze a stylish comfort reminiscent of a friend’s beach house—except this beach house has room service. Wine hour begins at 5 p.m. in the lobby, a great precursor to dining at Cobalt, the property’s elegant oceanfront restaurant. Chef Daniel Traimas infuses his dishes with a blend of Midwestern and Southeast Asian influences, as seen in standout dishes like the cobia crudo with watermelon radish, serrano pepper, kaffir lime leaf, and a coconut-lime vinaigrette. Dessert becomes a tasty, charitable endeavor when ordering the turtle brownie sundae, which supports local turtle protection. For after-dinner drinks, head to the outdoor patio dotted with fire pits and featuring live music on the weekends. The resort excels at offering a calming environment for rejuvenation. A yoga session on the beach (held every Saturday) is one of the best ways to start the day. Other activities include paddleboard or kayak lessons and tours, available through on-site Paddles by the Sea. The White Orchid Spa is another must-do. While the medical-grade spa is undergoing a facelift of its own, guests can still enjoy services such as CoolSculpting, Botox, LED light therapy, and treatments like the O2 Lift Facial with exfoliating papaya and pineapple enzymes.

The Brazilian Court Many Palm Beach hotels evoke the grandeur of the 1920s, but few do it with as much panache as The Brazilian Court. Since opening its doors on January 1, 1926, this boutique hotel has hosted elite visitors, including celebrities like Marlon Brando and Katharine Hepburn, both of whom now have suites named in their honor. An air of Old Hollywood glamour permeates the property, from numerous secluded tropical nooks to the piped-in big band music and even the intimate entry that smells of honeysuckle. Should you choose to venture to the beach, have the bellhop order up a complimentary Mercedes to escort you directly to the sand, where chairs, umbrellas, and a stocked bag await. Now that’s all-star service. A member of Leading Hotels of the World, The Brazilian Court mimics a traditional Palm Beach estate, with Spanish-Mediterranean architecture that complements its residential neighbors. While the valet is off Australian, the original entry was on Brazilian (hence the name), and the hotel’s open design is centered around a main courtyard. Inside, guests are met with a number of cosmopolitan
delights, such as an art gallery with works swapped out quarterly and available for purchase through Paul Fisher Gallery. There’s also the Frédéric Fekkai Salon, which provides the French stylist’s beloved treatments, like the Rose de Mai manicure that incorporates Chantecaille beauty products. The Brazilian Court is also home to Café Boulud, where lucky diners can savor chef Daniel Boulud’s modern French cuisine. The culinary adventure begins at the illuminated onyx bar for a taste of the signature White Cosmopolitan, a beautiful blend of vodka and elderflower liqueur enhanced by lime and white cranberry and finished with an orchid ice cube. Meals are savored under a patchwork ceiling of pecky cypress and mother-of-pearl. While the menu changes seasonally, it often features favorites like the chilled tomato soup with fennel and olive crumble, perfectly prepared steak au poivre, and a heavenly mint and chocolate bar. But nothing beats those complimentary madeleines, sprinkled with powdered sugar and flavored with a whisper of citrus. (561-655-7740, thebraziliancourt.com) —M.M.

ERIC LAIGNEL
Palm Beach’s iconic landmark hotel is steeped in history and tradition, but thanks to constant reinvestment by the owners—descendants of The Breakers’ founder, Henry Morrison Flagler—it always feels fresh and relevant. In the past few seasons, the hotel has rolled out reinventions of its spa and fitness center, Flagler Steakhouse, the ultraexclusive Flagler Club, and, most recently, Seafood Bar. And the changes keep coming. That’s probably why a staycation at The Breakers feels more like an extravagance than a mere hotel visit. Its grand spaces, with their Renaissance architecture and frescoed ceilings, evoke a sense of place: This is the real Palm Beach, a sanctuary for unapologetic luxury and service the way it should be. Yet there’s always something to discover and an energy that’s addictive—whether traveling solo, with a special someone, or with children. Here are three experiences no staycationer should miss:

This is your oasis away from the sun—and the crowds. Like a cabana on steroids, a bungalow at The Breakers measures upward of 400 square feet and is appointed with beach house–style furniture, private loungers, a semi-outdoor shower, a stocked fridge, and—the best perk of all—concierge service to cater to your whims. Don’t pass up the skinny pineapple margarita, served in a hollowed-out pineapple.

with children? The Breakers will keep them busy with all the activities they love, and then some. From the moment they walk in and are handed a “passport” to record their discoveries, they’ll find oodles of fun things to do: riding the waves in a Jet Ski–towed Banana Boat, blowing off steam in the interactive playground, taking a junior golf lesson, going on a nature scavenger hunt, and playing games in a huge arcade.

Seafood Bar: The Breakers’
classic restaurant has been reimagined in a big way. Inspired by a ship’s interior, the new space is more open and boasts an exhibition kitchen. Its beloved features, like the aquarium bar and sprawling ocean view, have been preserved, as have some of the most popular menu items, such as the crab cakes and seriously addictive Key lime pie. From the new batch of offerings, the tuna tartare tostada is a thing of beauty.

Four Seasons RESORT PALM BEACH
The addition of Hilton West Palm Beach has turned the trifecta of tourism (i.e. the Palm Beach County Convention Center, CityPlace, and the Kravis Center) into a bona fide cultural corridor ideal for weekend revelry and mini staycations. The 400-room, four-diamond hotel opened in early 2016 with the goal of becoming a hot spot for both the convention crowd and residents. It achieved the latter in a few ways: imbuing the modern interior with coastal-inspired art curated by South Florida–based Eaton Fine Art; adding Manor restaurant by chef Matthew Byrne, head of the beloved Kitchen eatery in West Palm Beach; and turning the 20,000-square-foot pool deck into a hip hangout complete with cabana rentals, lawn games, and “dive-in” movies at night. On Saturdays, the Hilton ups the fun factor with an à la carte brunch menu and outdoor yoga, both of which are open to the public. (561-231-6000, hiltonwestpalmbeach.com) —M.M.

One of the island grande dames, the Four Seasons Resort Palm Beach has a Zen vibe that immediately calms the senses. Perhaps it’s the palette of cool neutrals, or the large-scale, modern floral arrangements in the lobby. Or maybe it’s the tranquil mood that permeates everything from the living room to the spa zone to the chill waterfront cabanas. Whatever it is, a weekend here feels like a far longer getaway. One of the highlights is dining at the water’s edge. AB&G, the resort’s casual open-air restaurant, is separated from the sand by a clump of sea grapes, giving new meaning to the term “barefoot luxury.” Though it’s a splendid spot for lunch, weekend evenings bring a host of delights, including a view of the rising moon. On Saturday nights, AB&G features Hook’d, a seafood-centric experience with oyster and sashimi selections, market fish, and whole branzino to share (we recommend the curry spiced preparation). On Sundays, the place to be is Graze. Brunch here is lavish and interactive, with made-to-order specialties like chirashi rice bowls and an endless mimosa and Bloody Mary bar, plus a spread with diverse fare from monkey bread to stone crab claws. Be sure to grab a cabana for a post-prandial nap; you’re going to need it. (561-582-2800, fourseasons.com/palmbeach) —D.N.

No jaunt up to Jupiter is complete without a visit to this Old Florida getaway. Nestled at the end of Indiantown Road, the Jupiter Beach Resort & Spa specializes in easygoing escapes, complete with 1,000 feet of shoreline dotted with turtle nests, secluded by mangroves, and encircled by hammocks. An ocean-view suite tops the accommodations list, but each room is outfitted with aquatic odes, including a resident plush turtle available for purchase. For a staycation sampling, dine at Sinclair’s Ocean Grill, which serves up fresh fish specials and outstanding versions of classic sea fare, like crab cakes and saku tuna tartare.

THE SEAGATE HOTEL & SPA
Jupiter Beach Resort & Spa
If you dream of a day when underwater hotels are a reality, it’s time to book a stay at the next best, land-based thing: The Seagate Hotel & Spa. Centrally located on Delray Beach’s Atlantic Avenue, The Seagate takes decor cues from the nearby ocean. The lobby and Atlantic Grille restaurant are home to an array of aquariums full of moon
jellyfish and sharks, among other sea creatures. Design elements like an undulating elevator wall and indoor water features instantly recall the lapping of waves, while a plethora of purple orchids (particularly the single bud left at turndown service) inspire endless relaxation. When it comes to Zen moments, The Seagate Spa is a must-visit for locals and out-of-towners alike. At 8,000 square feet, the spa’s size allows for an expansive menu but the attentive staff makes sure every guest feels like it’s all theirs. Given the overall ocean vibe, it’s no surprise that the sea creeps into the treatments. The spa’s signature Hot Shell massage trades stones for ceramic seashells, resulting in a sublime yet effective hour of bliss. In addition to its regular menu, the spa often offers seasonal specials. In November, channel those autumnal feelings with the Spice It Up package, composed of a pumpkin-themed enzyme facial, manicure, and pedicure, as well as a complimentary pumpkin spice martini.

Dive into the local nitro coffee scene at palmbeachillustrated. com/nitrocoffee
Imagine coffee with the mouthfeel and sweetness of a milkshake, sans milk or sugar. No, this isn’t a fantasy—this is nitro cold brew, the most divine thing to happen to a cup of joe since the frappuccino. By steeping coffee grounds in cold water and infusing it with nitrogen, roasters impart a creamy taste, a frothy head, and a cascade effect à la Guinness. Local producers, such as Pumphouse Coffee Roasters in Jupiter, are brewing it with a quality akin to fine craft beer— tasting notes, aromatics, and all. Made with a mixture of Ethiopian and Honduran beans, the roastery’s smooth Dawn Patrol cold brew achieves a winning combination of chocolate and citrus flavors.

The best classic desserts are comfort foods: dishes we grew up with that form part of our culinary and cultural heritage. For pastry chefs, the challenge is to present those creations in a new and interesting way, while retaining the appeal that makes us return to them again and again. These local restaurants are infusing the classics with new life. —Mark Spivak
Cheesecake
LA MASSERIA, PALM BEACH GARDENS

HMF AT THE BREAKERS, PALM BEACH
JORDAN VILONNA
The classic Italian torta di ricotta is the essence of simplicity: ricotta, heavy cream, sugar, and eggs, whisked together and baked. Success depends on the freshness of the ingredients, particularly the cheese. At the local outpost of Manhattan’s La Masseria, chef and co-owner Pino Coladonato uses the recipe handed down from his mother. “Pino has modified the recipe slightly through the years,” says partner Enzo Ruggiero. “But it still has that homegrown Italian taste.” (561-660-8272, lamasseriapbg.com)
Like HMF itself, this dramatic dessert—flambéed tableside—conjures Gilded Age images. According to executive chef Anthony Sicignano, The Breakers’ version adds a new taste sensation with a thin layer of red velvet cake and a touch of apricot jam that complements the ice cream and meringue. “When guests see it, people around the room take notice and it builds a buzz,” Sicignano says. “It’s more than a popular dessert. It’s an attraction.” (877-724-3188, thebreakers.com)
Hot Fudge Sundae PALM BEACH GRILL, PALM BEACH
Although a standard item across the Hillstone restaurant chain, this sundae has definitely found a home in Palm Beach. “We sell between 40 and 50 on a busy evening in season,” says Jason Francis, Palm Beach Grill’s culinary manager. What sets this one apart is the quality of the ingredients, beginning with Sloan’s vanilla ice cream. “We use Callebaut Belgian chocolate to make our own hot fudge, and we also make the candied pecans and whipped cream in house. It’s simple, rich, and decadent.” (561-835-1077, palmbeachgrill.com)
Crème Brûlée LA CIGALE, DELRAY BEACH
Owner Francis Touboul grew up in Marseille with this dessert on the table. Because he feels many restaurants overcook the pastry cream, he insists his chefs gently thicken the filling over a bain-marie. “It’s been a favorite of our customers over the years, and it’s the perfect way to end a meal,” he says. “The key is the contrast between the warmth and softness of the vanilla bean cream and the crunchiness of the caramelized sugar topping.” (561-265-0600, lacigaledelray.com) 104 PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED
Key Lime Pie
FARMER’S TABLE, BOCA RATON “This was one of the first desserts I put on our menu when we opened,” says pastry chef Ivy Haaks. “I was looking for a classic that wasn’t vegan.” Her version differs from the normal graham cracker crust by substituting ginger snaps with a strong ginger flavor, but adheres to the restaurant’s main tenets: the eggs used are organic, and every ingredient is made in house. For Haaks, a Miami native, the dessert symbolizes the essence of the Florida lifestyle and experience. (561-417-5836, farmerstableboca.com)

COCKTAIL CORNER Trou Normand
In the northern French province of Normandy, where the cuisine tends to be heavy and rich, the Trou Normand is a tradition: a shot of Calvados between courses that expands the appetite and allows the diner to consume more food. The Cooper in Palm Beach Gardens has adapted this classic to the Florida lifestyle. “The inspiration came at a 10-course dinner party where I was served Calvados halfway through,” says beverage director Brian Mitchell. “It was delicious, and I thought it would work well here if the Calvados was combined with an apple sorbet.” The drink “almost becomes a slushie,” according
Trou Normand 2/3 cup sugar
1 1/3 cups water Bottle of dry French cider Juice from an orange, a lemon, and a lime Bottle of Calvados To make the sorbet, cook the sugar and water at 200 degrees for three minutes to make a syrup. Then, add the cider and the juice of an orange, a lemon, and a lime in a 3:2:1 ratio. Freeze until solid. Chill a bottle of Calvados.

Wilson: My goal is to fortify my network of farmers and base everything around what they have to offer. Along with nine other chefs, I’ll be part of a chef’s garden at Sun Fresh Farm and Ranch. We’ll each have a plot of land, and the menu will reflect what I plant. It will be more vegetable- and seafood-driven than before. You’re trained in whole-animal butchery and charcuterie. Any plans to do that here? Butchery, yes. I have suppliers who can provide whole cuts of meat. Charcuterie would be more

difficult because of space constraints, but look for items such as terrines, patés, and forcemeats. Describe your favorite meal. I grew up around the Chesapeake Bay, so I’d say lots of oysters and crabs—along with tons of cold beer. What would we see if we looked in your refrigerator? Lots of farm-fresh eggs, cases of sparkling water, some sort of IPA, and a rosé for my wife. [Also,] goat cheese, feta, and tons and tons of veggies. How do you see the current state of the farm-to-table movement? I’m afraid the impact has been diluted for many consumers, but there’s a group of like-minded chefs who are trying to do the right thing. My goal is to bring integrity and humility back into the process. In the end, it’s just about food that is good, clean, and consistent, and it’s important to know where it comes from.

The Prosecco Paradox This Italian sparkling wine is captivating taste buds worldwide—here’s why BY MARK SPIVAK
Twenty years ago, Prosecco was virtually unknown outside of northern Italy, where it was a main ingredient in the Bellinis at Harry’s Bar in Venice. By 2013, however, global sales of Prosecco eclipsed Champagne. It’s stayed on top ever since, leaving vintners in Reims and Épernay scratching their heads in confusion. There are several reasons for Prosecco’s surge in popularity. Foremost among them is price: At $10-$15 a bottle, it’s a fraction of the cost of the average nonvintage Brut Champagne, making it easier to entice consumers to try the category. Prosecco’s extra dollop of sweetness also appeals to novice wine drinkers. Most wines that become consumer sensations earn their reputations on high-quality brands and are then overproduced to the point of mediocrity. But Prosecco has reversed this pattern. Better examples are now coming onto 114 PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED
the market, and the cost of trading up is negligible. In some cases, it’s possible to snag Champagne quality at Prosecco prices. In the heart of the Prosecco-producing region (that stretches between Conegliano and Valdobbiadene in the province of Treviso) there’s no better location than the hill of Cartizze. Here, 140 growers own 260 acres of vines, planted at 1,000 feet. Land can cost more than $2 million per acre—an unheard-of price in Italy—and the wine made on this hill carries the designation of Prosecco Superiore DOCG. It’s the Montrachet of Verona. One of those landowners, Mionetto, introduced Prosecco to the states in 2000 and remains the largest exporter. The Mionetto saga began in 1887, when Francesco Mionetto established his winery in Valdobbiadene. While its product line offers something for everyone, the Cartizze DOCG Dry ($20) stands at the top
of the pyramid. It’s plump, ripe, and mediumbodied, displaying pleasant flavors of lemon, lime, melon, and vanilla that expand on the palate and linger on the finish. This classy Prosecco is nicely balanced between acidity and sweetness, making it charming to drink by itself or as an accompaniment to finger food and lighter first courses. David Noto, who gave up a career on Wall Street to make sparkling wine in northern Italy, exemplifies the new wave of Prosecco production. With 10 generations of winemaking tradition in his family, Noto couldn’t ignore the call and launched Altaneve in 2013. His vineyard sites are carefully selected, his grapes are hand-harvested, and his vinification techniques are modern and precise. Noto’s entry-level wine, Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG ($32), yields flavors of stone fruits, vanilla, and citrus balanced by pleasant acidity. While dry, the palate presence is generous and the finish is long and opulent, with a core of tropical fruit

David Noto’s Altaneve
that invites you to take another sip. It’s unlike any other Prosecco on the market, and it’s nearly impossible to stop drinking it. For those who want to find out exactly how good Prosecco can be, open a bottle of Altaneve Z ($32). Dry yet luscious in the mouth, with hints of citrus, stone fruits, and minerals buoyed by good acidity, it makes an elegant
and memorable statement. The finish is long and mouthwatering, and it pairs well with fish, shellfish, poultry, and other white meats. Speaking of poultry, turkey is one of Prosecco’s most natural food matchups. The rich, off-dry texture makes it a good choice for the holidays, and a graceful addition to the Thanksgiving table. «

Animal Instinct
Interior designer Leta Austin Foster blended luxury and comfort with exotic details in this captivating Palm Beach library. The room, which was recently featured in the book Traditional Interiors: Leta Austin Foster, Sallie Giordano & India Foster (Gibbs Smith, $50), showcases an array of animal prints, rich materials, and eastern influences. Artist Zenon Toczek painted the walls in a faux bois reminiscent of a 1950s Cecil Beaton style; aqua upholstered panels and linen curtains create a colorful dichotomy against the “woodwork.” A custom sofa is outfitted in Pierre Frey’s La Riviera Enchantée, an electric fabric that reappears in the two Brunschwig & Fils chairs. Zebra-printed pillows and an antelope-patterned rug evoke an opulent jungle, while the owners’ Chinese chest (reinterpreted as a coffee table) and collection of porcelain figurines and dishes speak to a life well-traveled.

Timed to
Perfection A LOCAL INTERIOR DECORATOR HELPS A REALITY STAR ACHIEVE STYLE ON A SCHEDULE By Liza Grant Smith
R
eal Housewives of New York City alum Jill Zarin is known for her take-charge personality in business and in life. When it came to her new home in Boca Raton’s Woodfield Country Club, however, Zarin relinquished control and enlisted the services of home staging company Restyle Home. She tasked lead stylist Margaret Schaffer with the seemingly impossible mission of furnishing the home in three days. Here, Schaffer shares design tricks and tips for interior reinvention on a short timeline. Boca Raton (561-789-7084, restylehomestaging.com) PBI: What are the key elements in a design project that requires a quick turnaround? Schaffer: First and foremost is how the client will use the space. That doesn’t get pushed to the wayside. Our sensibility is that luxury isn’t a thing; it’s a feeling of having your needs anticipated and met before you

even have to think about it. From a design perspective, though, anything that’s going to be highly customized, you automatically have to let go of. We look at the upholstery options that are in stock and at what we can get in a relatively short period of time that matches [the client’s] style. It may not be 100 percent, but we can make it work. If we get a modern sofa that’s too stark, we can balance it out with art and accessories. How do you make the home feel polished rather than rushed? One way to make it feel complete is with little details. Rolled-up towels underneath sinks, candles on the bedside, pictures on the wall— these kinds of things add an air of luxury. Adding in personal touches is what brings it from furnished to finished. When doing a second home, how do you ensure the style matches the surroundings? You want the furnishings to talk to the architectural style of the house. If you are in a new glistening condo that opens out to the ocean, you’re not going to want traditional furniture [but rather] furniture that reflects the surroundings to give off the greatest sense of lifestyle. In Florida, you want a sense of lightness so [opt for] light upholstery, leggy furniture, and items that aren’t very heavy.
After reviewing other projects by Schaffer, Zarin knew their tastes would be a good fit. “If you want to know the best indication of a designer’s work, look at what they’ve already done,” Zarin says. “For this home, I wanted it to be contemporary and all neutral. I had seen Margaret’s portfolio online, and told her, ‘Do that.’ I approved everything, but I let her really go at it.”
How do you determine a client’s style preferences? I find that a picture says a thousand words. I can tell much more from one photo than I can from a three-hour conversation. I also ask them to describe how they want to live in this home. More often than not, they just want a place where their family can come and gather, where they don’t have to worry about spills on the couch, but it is also nice enough to entertain in and have cocktail parties. This tells me that the dining room is going to be key. We are going to need a nice, big table and chairs that are upholstered in an outdoor fabric. Likewise, with the couch, we’re going to want a big sectional, also upholstered in an outdoor fabric, so they don’t have to worry about how it wears. «

BRIGHT IDEA Designer Shelly Preziosi enlivened this Boca Raton dining area with color while maintaining an eye toward sleekness. “Easy living defines this bright and open dining room,” Preziosi says. “[Large] enough to enjoy family gatherings, this room is also home to carefully selected art. The glass table from Artefacto is supported by hand-carved Indonesian mahogany that is visible through the glass top, giving the impression of looking down on a sculpture. We wanted the space to be enjoyed as a beautiful part of the open-concept plan, as well as a warm [place] to gather and share memories with family and friends.” Modern Interiors by Shelly Preziosi, Boca Raton (561289-7613, interiorsbyshellypreziosi.com)

WATERFRONT YACHT BROKERAGE
“A Different Kind of Brokerage” PRIORITIZES OWNERSHIP OVER SALES by Bella Group PROMOTION
Waterfront Yacht Ad-PBI.indd 2
10/2/17 9:43 AM
Whether a golf club, a car, a fine shotgun or something else, we’ve all experienced it: The moment we realize no matter how great it performed for our buddy, it didn’t produce the same results for us. As the items get bigger, a lack of good results becomes more expensive. Few items are as big or as expensive as a boat. Co-founded in 2015 by Joe Kelly, a licensed boat captain, and Rob Thomson, Managing Partner of sister company Waterfront Properties and Club Communities, Waterfront Yacht Brokerage promised to turn the traditional concept of yacht brokering on its head, making the ownership experience a priority over sales. Two years later, Waterfront Yacht is building a loyal client base of individuals who swear by the ownership experience and product knowledge-focused model of the Jupiter, Florida yacht brokerage. Kelly and Thomson developed Waterfront Yacht, focusing on what clients have identified as the biggest issue dogging the industry: “There are a lot of professional yacht brokers. They are great salespeople.” The problem, Kelly said, is “they don’t always know boats. Even when they do, they sometimes leave that knowledge at the door and concentrate on getting the boat the client wants and making the sale.” Kelly chose to focus on what he knew ultimately matters most to boat owners—performance and function. The boat the client wants isn’t always the right boat.
Waterfront Yacht’s model is equally effective for sellers and purchasers. No matter which way the transaction is going, taking the time to understand the prospective owner’s needs and desires ensures the transaction is efficient and satisfying. Broker Mike Ancona, a 10-year licensed boat captain, boiled down his decision to join Waterfront Yacht. “Integrity. We don’t cut corners. Resources. I have the support to succeed on my sellers’ and buyers’ behalf. When I joined, Joe made it clear we were going to win on knowledge. He was right.” Recently, Bill Maglio utilized Ancona to guide his step up from a 68’ Hargrave to an 80’ Hatteras. “Mike’s a high caliber individual. He knows boats. He didn’t just try to sell me a boat. He focused instead on form, fit and function. That’s always been my gauge and that was Mike’s too.” Function considerations encompassed safety and accommodations for Maglio’s large family, including a growing brood of grandchildren. “These were the concerns he considered and, in the end, the transaction and our new vessel met our needs perfectly. When time came to purchase a tender for the larger boat, I put all of it in Mike’s hands.”
“We never start talking about the boat a client wants. We begin by understanding what the client wants the boat to do.”
Mike said, “Once I understand exactly how an owner plans to use the boat, I put my energy into matching his or her needs to the correct vessel.” Bill added, “I know that Mike is looking out for me. The entire Waterfront Yacht team is my team. They saved me time by handling every aspect of the transaction.They guarded my investment by putting me on the right boat at the right price.”
“We never start talking about the boat a client wants,” Kelly said. “We begin by understanding what the client wants the boat to do. What the last two years have shown us is clients really don’t care what method gets them to happy. They just want to be happy.”
Joe Kelly concluded, “Sales are the least of our worries. Matching the right owner with the right boat is our mandate. Doing this, we’ve found sales pretty well take care of themselves. We’re keeping it simple. Focus on the owner. Focus on their needs. Focus on the ownership experience after the sale.”
Over the years, Johnny Gray owned mostly bass boats and houseboats. When he made the leap to “big boats,” the experience fell short. “It was a Viking. I knew the name and I’d heard good things.” Turns out, Gray was on the wrong boat. It took a single weekend on the water for Gray to realize the Viking Princess fulfilled none of his needs. “Joe took the time to understand what I needed out of the boat. It wasn’t about the sale; it was about finding the perfect boat for my needs. And Joe did.”
Waterfront Yacht Brokerage—a different kind of brokerage, whose priority is to focus on a different outcome, continues to win on knowledge and integrity.
Rob Thomson commented, “This is so typical of Joe. Whether it’s in the interview process with a prospective new client or in his work as a captain for a select group of our clients, he’s always listening.” Joe’s knowledge and the knowledge of the broker team he’s assembled are the difference makers.”

Balance Green State “Let food be thy medicine” is a philosophy taken to heart at Delray Beach’s Localgreens, a new fast-casual concept developed by restaurateur and former chiropractor Dave Magrogan and chefs Josh Short and Adam Gottlieb. Similar to the Magrogan Group’s Harvest Seasonal Grill & Wine Bar next door, Localgreens sources organic ingredients from Florida farms and transforms them into refined, health-conscious dishes. “Now more than ever, people care about where their food is sourced and how it’s prepared,” says chef Short, who worked with certified nutritionists to craft the menu’s creative salads, handmade popsicles, and grain, noodle, and açai bowls. At the first of many planned locations, touch-screen kiosks allow diners to build their own meals or customize items with vegan options or addons like tuna poke or citrus shrimp. Hits such as the Medicine Man noodle soup with carrots, edamame, broccoli, bok choy, basil, and bean sprouts in a veggie broth, return a clean bill of health. “I love using simple approaches that result in incredibly flavorful dishes that are crave-worthy and healthy at the same time,” says Short. “Mother Nature is the true artist here.” (561-808-8880, livelocal greens.com) —Liz Petoniak

Stress Less
It may be “the most wonderful time of the year,” but for many, the holidays are also one of the most stressful. Between traveling, party planning, a hectic social calendar, searching for the perfect gifts, and strategizing how to avoid both awkward encounters with relatives and cookie binges, it can be easy to lose sight of the festive spirit. “We have unrealistic expectations imposed on us from the time we’re kids,” says Brian Clement, co-director of Hippocrates Health Institute. “Stressing about these factors only makes matters worse because it triggers our fight or flight response, raising our cortisol [a hormone that increases fat storage and affects memory] and testosterone levels.” In the long term, Clement points to the role stress plays in assailing the immune system and contributing to chronic diseases. “But even just visualizing well-being can

Wealth
In Home We Trust
Including a primary residence in a living trust can be a complicated endeavor
R
By Judy Martel
evocable trusts are valuable, popular tools for those who want to streamline an estate plan. But although they’re designed to hold title to all assets, there are some serious drawbacks to titling a primary residence in the name of a trust, says Jani Maurer, professor of law at Shepard Broad College of Law at Nova Southeastern University. The main advantages of revocable trusts (also called living trusts) over wills alone include minimizing the likelihood of a court guardianship proceeding if you’re ever incapacitated as well as generally avoiding delays and costs of probate. They can also provide more privacy because, unlike wills, trusts are typically not public record. The creator of the trust is usually the trustee who, during life, can change the terms of the trust at any time, provided he or she is mentally capable. But while you can generally maintain Florida homestead benefits (such as real estate tax reductions and creditor protection) when you title your primary home in the name of a living trust, you also open 148 PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED
yourself to complications under Florida homestead laws, probate and real property laws, and title insurance requirements.
THE RIGHTS OF SPOUSES AND CHILDREN Married couples in particular are advised not to put their principal residence in a living trust because state homestead law protects surviving spouses and minor children. Trusts can complicate matters, explains Maurer. “While a single person who dies and is not survived by a minor child is free to gift his homestead to whomever he chooses, the same is not true for [someone] survived by a spouse or a minor child,” she says. A person who is the sole owner of his homestead and has minor children may not gift his homestead at death. Instead, if there is also a spouse, he or she is entitled to a life estate (the right to live in the home for life). Furthermore, all of the decedent’s children (both minors and adults) share the home equally after the spouse’s death. If the sole owner of a homestead dies survived by a minor child and
no spouse, all of the decedent’s children share the When it comes to placing a home into a homestead equally under the law. If the sole ownliving trust, it’s best to er dies and is survived by a spouse but no minor hire a professional to children, he or she can gift the homestead to the guide the process. spouse; however, for the gift to be valid it must be the entire home—not a life estate or other lesser interest. “Provisions in a will or trust that violate these rules are of no effect,” adds Maurer. A surviving spouse who does not want a life estate in the homestead has the right to claim a one-half interest in the home instead.
HOW TO AVOID RESTRICTIONS In all cases, Florida law trumps any written bequests in wills or trusts. However, there are legal ways to avoid restrictions on the ability to gift a homestead solely owned by a decedent upon death. Surviving spouses can waive homestead rights with “informed consent,” Maurer says. This is typically accomplished through a written contract (two examples include prenuptial or postnuptial agreements) in which the spouse acknowledges his or her rights under Florida law and voluntarily waives them. There are other solutions available for titling a homestead residence that could accomplish your goals with minimum fuss or cost. Consult an attorney to explore the options and ensure your needs are met.
HOMES THAT DON’T QUALIFY FOR HOMESTEAD Although not advisable for primary homes, it might make sense to put a vacation or investment home that doesn’t have homestead protection into a living trust, especially if the home is located in a state with more expensive or complicated probate procedures. But Maurer advises first considering other strategies that might be better suited to avoiding probate or providing creditor protection, such as a limited liability company or a Florida land trust. In all cases, Maurer adds, if you’re thinking about retitling a home into a trust or any other estate-planning vehicle, hire a professional to guide you. “This is much more complicated than people think,” she says. “It’s not something you should do yourself on documents downloaded from the internet.” «

ON AIR
Q&A
Peter Sagal—or, at least, his voice—is most recognizable as the host of the NPR news quiz show Wait Wait…Don’t Tell Me, which airs weekly to an audience of nearly 3 million listeners. But this Harvard University graduate is also a playwright, Game of Thrones podcaster, and accidental contributor to the screenplay of Dirty Dancing 2: Havana Nights. From November 30 to December 17, Theatre Lab at Florida Atlantic University will stage the premiere of Most Wanted, a comedy Sagal wrote more than 20 years ago. It follows Frank and Doris, a retired couple who kidnap their granddaughter and go on the lam in Florida. Sagal recently spoke with PBI about his play, quiz show, and legacy. Boca Raton (561-297-4784, fau.edu/theatrelab)
PETER SAGAL
PBI: What will Wait Wait…Don’t Tell Me listeners find most surprising about your play, Most Wanted? Sagal: Considering what Wait Wait...Don’t Tell Me is, they’re going to find a distinct lack of interest in current events. It’s obviously funny. But I think what’s most surprising is that it’s not entirely funny; it’s [also] serious. If there’s one thing the play is probably about is really, to quote Cher, turning back time. There are a lot of people in the play who, in a variety of ways, are stuck in the past, either through stubbornness or desperation or illness. In a weird way, when they run away they’re trying to turn back time and deny the consequences of what’s happened in their lives.
something interesting to talk about. And we’ve all seen a change in our cast. Especially over the last few years, we’ve been doing our best to revitalize the show by bringing in younger, more diverse voices. … What’s really become interesting is this relationship we have with our listeners. People rely on us. We’re in constant dialogue with [them]. We know what they’re listening to, because we listen to public radio, too. We’re making jokes for them and with them come the weekend.
Wait Wait…Don’t Tell Me has been on air for almost 20 years. How has the show evolved during that time? In terms of its format, the show has been very much the same over the years—and I’m still standing. The thing that has changed is, of course, the news. From Clinton to Bush to Obama to now, there have been significant changes and there’s always

Given your diverse résumé, what achievements do you hope appear on your tombstone? I always thought my obituary was going to lead with, “The guy who wrote Dirty Dancing 2: Havana Nights without meaning to.” Because I’m me, I hope I get a laugh. Maybe I should have the words in really tiny type so that you have to step up close to the gravestone and peer down and it would say, “Get off of me!” Sagal shares Wait Wait…Don’t Tell Me behind-the-scenes details at palmbeachillustrated.com/petersagal

DINNER IS SERVED
Everyone loves a good dinner party, but add in a philanthropic element and the festivities immediately turn from sybaritic to heartwarming. Now in its twenty-fifth year, The Ultimate Dinner Party asks Palm Beach’s best hosts and hostesses to open their homes to guests on November 15 for a series of intimate dinner gatherings to benefit Children’s Home Society of Florida. The evening begins with a collective cocktail fête before roughly 200 guests splinter off to their respective sittings, which feature meals catered by chefs from the American Culinary Federation. Over the course of its history, The Ultimate Dinner Party has raised more than $3.75 million in support of CHS’ efforts in Palm Beach County, including foster care, residential programs, mentoring services, and community centers.
