January is a time for beginnings, and everything feels new and exciting. This season, we’ve felt it even more keenly with a flurry of parties, reveals, and openings that make every night seem like a celebration. One thing is certain: The face of this community is changing—for the better—and yet remains “the most beautiful place in the world,” according to our cover model, Hilary Geary Ross. Hilary ought to know. She has been coming here since childhood and now, with husband Wilbur Ross (yes, that Wilbur Ross), calls Palm Beach home, even though the Rosses have homes in Manhattan, Southampton, and Washington, D.C., as well. The latter residence, which materialized when Wilbur was named U.S. Secretary of Commerce, is the newest platform to showcase Hilary’s talent for entertaining international glitterati.…

GUYANESE: BAMBOO FIRE CAFÉ Growing up in Guyana, Beverly Jacobs taught herself to cook by following recipes in her favorite American and British magazines. She added her own spin, influenced by the country’s melting pot of African, Indian, Chinese, Portuguese, and native ingredients and dishes, and birthed the unique delicacies adventurous gourmands can now find at Bamboo Fire Café. We recommend the crispy tostones, grilled eggplant dip, fragrant dhal, curried anything but especially the meatballs, guava cheesecake, and Jacobs’ addictive Calypso lemonade with a hint of vanilla. Delray Beach (561-749-0973) DIM SUM: GRAND LAKE DIM SUM Dim sum translates roughly as “to touch the heart,” but the delicious Cantonese-style fare reaches the stomach, too. Grand Lake has the most extensive selection in the area, offering up around two dozen varieties…

A large part of writer Ernest Hemingway’s image revolved around alcohol. For Papa, quality and quantity were equally essential. During his Havana years, Hemingway frequented the El Floridita bar, where a special daiquiri was named for him. Served in an outsized glass and containing a double shot of rum, it became known as the Papa Doble. A bronze statue of Hemingway occupies his favorite barstool at El Floridita, but you don’t have to travel to Havana to enjoy a Papa Doble. BrickTop’s currently serves the cocktail at its Palm Beach restaurant and new waterfront location in Palm Beach Gardens. Andrew Martinez, director of food and kitchen, describes the drink as the perfect complement to South Florida’s tropical culture. (561-855-2030, 561-530-4313, bricktops.com) Papa Doble 3 oz.

Bespoke details and unexpected elements abound in this multipurpose library and formal dining room by Adelene Keeler Smith Interior Design. Located in West Palm Beach, the space centers around a custom table, constructed from burl wood by a retired U.S. Naval Academy master carpenter who now resides in Jupiter Farms. Legendary screen actress Audrey Hepburn gazes over the scene, where a crystal chandelier glows inside a parchment drum shade. A single pine stool joins a grouping of vintage Sheraton scroll chairs outfitted in ivory cheetahpatterned velvet cushions. Even the floor, which is made of hand-selected shell stone specked with coral and sea fossils, is an understated work of art. West Palm Beach (561-626- 4012, adelenekeelersmith.com)…

Sometimes it feels like 24 hours in a day just isn’t enough to accomplish everything— even with multiple cups of coffee. But according to Chris Jordan, director of exercise physiology at the Johnson & Johnson Human Performance Institute in Orlando, we can make the most out of those hours by eliminating our preoccupation with time management and focusing instead on energy management. “Time management simply takes you from being absent to being present,” he says. “But whether or not you’re actually engaged depends upon your ability to be energized.” Here, Jordan shares insight into sustaining energy levels throughout the day to perform at our highest ability.

Philanthropist and heiress Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney is perhaps best known as the founder of the Whitney Museum of American Art in Manhattan. A lifelong supporter of fine art, Whitney began showcasing underappreciated American artists at her Greenwich Village studio in the early 1900s. Her personal collection evolved to more than 500 pieces and, after the Metropolitan Museum of Art refused an endowment, she established the Whitney in 1930. However, this legacy is but a footnote to Whitney’s artistic identity. A gifted sculptor, she received wide acclaim for her deeply emotional bronze creations. Beginning January 25, the Norton Museum of Art will mount “Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney: Sculpture,” the first exhibition of Whitney’s work since her death in 1942. This grouping of more than 40 sculptures and drawings highlights her range, from…

Mira Fain developed an appreciation for vivid prints and Scandinavian design while spending time at her parent’s textile stores on Finland’s western coast.

What’s in a name? At Saint Laurent, the YSL monogram is synonymous with sensuality and subversion, a point creative director Anthony Vaccarello reflects by imparting subtlety on logomania.

Two powerhouse marital law boutiques have now merged, bringing partners Jeff Fisher, Zac Potter, and Ben Hodas into one firm. The merger brings together “hard-nosed legal eagles” who, over the course of the last two decades, were trained by internationally renowned divorce attorney Jeff Fisher. After working with Fisher, and prior to the merger, Hodas opened his own firm and developed a reputation for his trial skills, representing owners of closely held companies, professional athletes, and wealthy families. Meanwhile, Fisher and Potter developed a unique international practice involving multibillion-dollar divorce and asset-recovery cases. In a recent feature story titled “How to Hide $400 Million,” The New York Times wrote that the Fisher-Potter firm is a “highly creative” private “wealth squad” that is not your “normal” family law practice. The biographies…

A 12-foot bear sculpture stands sentry at the entrance to Avant, the new eatery-meets-art-gallery concept in Pineapple Grove. “Delray is developing a bit of an art scene,” says owner Steven Dapuzzo. “Art naturally fosters social interaction, so we’re embracing that aspect.” Inspired by New York City’s guerilla art movement of the early ’80s, Avant (short for avant garde) invites South Florida artists to display large-scale pieces inside its Manhattan-esque digs. The result is part Banksy, part Warhol. A total of 20 or so works from the likes of Salvatore Principe, Cody Parker, Ryan Neil, and Miami muralist Hoxxah coexist within an updated, glamorous take on mid-century modern decor that abounds with brass fixtures, velvet booths, herringbone floors, and warm walnut finishes. There are sultry lounge areas, massive bar tops fashioned…

It’s not every day wine connoisseurs have the opportunity to store their collections in a high-tech cellar named for a Jack Russell Terrier.

Samantha David has been coming to Palm Beach all her life, and each visit always started at The Royal Poinciana Plaza. “Whenever we would get to the island, the first thing we would do was go to TooJay’s and buy a loaf of rye bread,” says David, who admits her family would often purchase two loaves—one to enjoy on the ride home and one for later. David, the daughter of hedge-fund manager Richard Perry and fashion designer Lisa Perry, is forging her own path as chief operating officer of WS Development and head of Up Markets, a division of WS. In 2014, David purchased The Royal Poinciana Plaza with the goal of reinvigorating it for a new generation of Palm Beachers. The John Volk–designed shopping center has gone through many…

Alejandra Miranda comes from a long line of bakers: Her great-grandmother had a bakery, her grandmother was a home baker, and her mother creates wedding cakes. But it wasn’t until she went vegan in 2011 and began missing the sweets she grew up with that she gained an interest in the craft. After spending years developing and perfecting recipes to satisfy her cravings, Miranda opened Parlour Vegan Bakery in Plantation in 2015 and in Boca Raton in 2016. “Everything is inspired from my childhood,” Miranda says. “I appreciate throwbacks just as much as gourmet flavors.” A large part of what ignites the nostalgia factor in Parlour’s blueberry toaster pastries, savory pizza rolls, and Dunkaroo, Orange Creamsicle, and Butterbeer cupcakes is that they’re undetectably vegan. Call it a miracle, but even…

Even though Rioja is the most recognized and lauded Spanish wine region, it owes much of its modern identity to outside influences. Rioja winemakers first traveled to Bordeaux in the 1780s, returning home to introduce the process of oak aging. Several generations later, Luciano Murrieta and the Duke de la Victoria were searching for ways to modernize the area’s wine industry. Murrieta also made a pilgrimage to the Gironde, where he learned the latest in French winemaking and blending techniques. When phylloxera, a microscopic louse, decimated French vineyards in the 1860s and 1870s, Rioja wine was suddenly in demand. Many Bordeaux makers started wineries in Spain during that period, bringing with them a lifetime of knowledge and experience. Modern Rioja was born. The majority of the blend was Tempranillo, with…
