Local Flavor: HMF

HMF (which is named after The Breakers' founding father, Henry Morrison Flagler) is the new, uber chic restaurant/bar/lounge, located in the iconic Palm Beach Breaker's Hotel.  Opening recently in November 2012, it is the latest, glamorous spot to be seen in the area.  HMF is "an ode to golden era Palm Beach" blending the opulence of that time with fresh, newness through cuisine and decor.

The monogram logo is clean and simple and looks great etched on the wine glasses and embossed on the coasters. 

The stunning detail and architecture of the historic Florentine Room makes for an incredible backdrop for the restaurant and its more modern furniture.

 

The Classic Drink Menu 

Drinks of choice...Frescavescent and French 75

The wine is displayed in the most beautiful glass wine cellar and makes a great focal point at the end of the restaurant.

The menu is an array of smaller dishes with many different global influences and as well as influence from gourmet food trucks.

Chopped HMF Salad and Chinese Shrimp Fried Rice

Margherita Pizzette

All was absolutely delicious!  I look forward to trying many more things on the menu!

Well done HMF!   We look forward to coming back...again and again!

Luxe Lifestyle: In The Spirit Of Palm Beach

We been waiting quite some time for a fabulous, new coffee table book on Palm Beach and we got two within the last couple of months!  One being "Palm Beach Entertaining", which we posted about here, and the other, "In the Spirit of Palm Beach".  Pamela Fiori, the former editor-in-chief of Town & Country, has published several coffee table books, all featuring fabulous destinations around the world.  Her latest book features our beloved Palm Beach!  It is a sensational collection of iconic photos (many from the incredible Slim Aarons), clever quotes and tid bits of history about this beautiful place we call home!  

If you are from here, or have even just visited, it is a must for your coffee table!

I love this shot...I'd love to frame her from my dressing room!

My two favorite places in Palm Beach...Were I got engaged and were I got married!

Luxe Entertaining: Palm Beach Entertaining

Recently Rizzoli released a fabulous new coffee table book, Palm Beach Entertaining: Creating Occasions To Remember.  Before I even opened it, I knew it was a must have to add to my collection.  As I looked further, I was not disappointed.  Tons of inspiring photos of entertaining, tablescapes, food and cocktails, as well as recipes from Palm Beach locals grace the pages!  If you enjoy entertaining as much as I do, you'll surely appreciate this book as well.

Such a great book to display on your coffee table...especially if you are local. And it would make a great gift too!
