Palm Beach Favorites
I am in Palm Beach, Florida for the week. I love coming down here. It is such a relaxing place. The food and scene is fabulous and there is something so charming about the history and culture of Palm Beach. Here are some of my favorite restaurants and places listed below.
Restaurants
Renatos is a well-respected Italian restaurant with a romantic, timeless aura. Its dark woods, piano bar and French doors appeal to the guests love of classic, old world design. It doesn't hurt that Renatos also is situated in one of the most beautiful sites in Palm Beach with tons of shopping near by.
This is a great place for drinks. The night-time crowd starts arriving after dinner and Michael McCarty's becomes the most popular place on the island. All the young attractive locals gather for cocktails, merriment, and to catch up with their pals.
Rocco's Tacos offers a true taste of Mexico within a fun casual environment. Rocco's has a diverse menu that includes corn tortilla made by hand and cooked fresh in their kitchen, as well as a variety of 175 tequilas.
Shopping
Worth Avenue is the ultimate shopping destination in Palm Beach. All the shops on Worth Avenue are so inspirational! It is known for its couture houses, art and antiques, jewelry and leather goods, spa services, fine furnishings and restaurants.
Beautiful showroom with one of a kind, antique and new home furnishings. There is also a unique selection of home and bath accessories.
Island Home has everything for your home needs. Don't be too surprised that everything in this store has some sort of island influence.
Hotels
The Brazilian Court is a famous historic landmark hotel in Palm Beach. It is the ideal destination for the rich and famous. The hotel offers an elegant, private retreat featuring luxurious accommodations and impeccable service. I love doing events here. The space is great for private parties and weddings. I also recommend staying for lunch, dinner, or drinks.
The Colony Hotel is a wonderful, small, boutique hotel by the water. It has been the center of Palm Beach social life since 1947. It has hosted U.S. Presidents, European Royalty and American "Snowbirds".

Tasty Recipes: Corn and Tomato Scramble
Corn and Tomato Scramble
Serves: 8
Active time: 25 min
Start to finish: 30 min
Summer corn and vine-ripened tomatoes are already close to perfection, and they taste best when prepared simply. Here, the corn is sautéed with scallions in butter, the tomatoes are lightly dressed with oil and cider vinegar, and then the two components are tossed together so that their flavors and juices mix into something new.
Ingredients
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon cider vinegar
1 1/4 lb tomatoes, cut into bite-size pieces
1 bunch scallions, finely chopped, keeping white parts and greens separate
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 cups corn kernels (from about 8 ears)
Instructions
1. Whisk together oil, vinegar, 3/4 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp pepper. Toss tomatoes with dressing.
2. While tomatoes marinate, cook white parts of scallions in butter with 3/4 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp pepper in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 4 minutes. Add corn and sauté until just tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and cool.
3. Stir together corn, tomatoes, and scallion greens.
