However, food was a […]

Tales from the Road: It’s Great Way to End the Trip: Seafood, Commodores and Commander’s Palace

Due to technical difficulties, Tales from the Road was delayed.

Some days I feel so lucky. Sitting in the sun, having lunch on the beach, feeling like you’re on vacation, sipping Sangria — all in a day’s work. That’s what I did yesterday in the midst of my busy day.

Palm Beach Announces Their First Restaurant Week

 In a city that goes against the norm - their failure to latch onto chains (Houston’s had to be renamed Palm Beach Grill and it took years for the city to agree to put in a Starbucks on Worth Avenue) and the non-existence of sales in the multitude of designer shops that line the city, […]
