West Palm Beach restaurant lands on 2 prestigious 'best new' lists

Emelina's remarkable first year now includes two more national honors. The 16-seat Cuban tasting counter in West Palm Beach's Flamingo Park neighborhood is one of 15 restaurants named Eater's Best New Restaurants of the Year for 2026. Editors spent months scouting restaurants in 44 cities before choosing winners. Emelina joins restaurants in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco and other major foodie capitals. Of note, it's Florida's only restaurant to earm a spot. This year's expanded Eater awards recognize 55 restaurants, bars, chefs, bakeries and dishes in 20 cities. The West Palm Beach restaurant also landed on The Infatuation's 25 Best New Restaurants in America 2026, a list selected after its writers visited more than 2,600 new restaurants during the year. That publication has a notable restaurant-guide pedigree. The Infatuation acquired Zagat from Google in 2018, although the two remained separate brands. In 2021, JPMorgan Chase acquired The Infatuation, including Zagat. Emelina, which opened in February under husband-and-wife chef/partners Osmel González and Camila Salazar, became the first Cuban restaurant in North America to earn a Michelin star earlier this year. “Emelina was built on the belief that Cuban cuisine belongs at the highest level of American dining, and Eater

The Florida Teacher Who Turned “MAGA Meg’s” District Blue

Get your news from a source that’s not owned and controlled by oligarchs. Sign up for the free Mother Jones Daily. One of the many Democrats who flipped state House seats during the historic midterms was a public school teacher in Florida’s Palm Beach County. Elizabeth Holmes hadn’t even considered politics before 2026, and within months, she unseated Meg Weinberger, a Donald Trump–endorsed Republican known as “MAGA Meg” who had won the seat in 2024. Earlier this year, Weinberger sponsored legislation to rename the Palm Beach airport after the president, a project that cost $5.5 million. Holmes’ win there highlights how the MAGA movement is losing some of its power—even in the county Trump calls home.

Developer tells Wellington HOA to work with us ... or else | Exclusive

(This story has been updated to include additional information. ) GL Homes will build a luxury development of nearly 300 homes on the long-shuttered Polo West Golf Course in Wellington, with or without the cooperation of the Polo West Estates HOA. And the homebuilder needs to know by Nov. 24 whether the HOA will work with it in exchange for main entrance upgrades, including a new guardhouse. Otherwise, GL Homes will develop plans that will not be nearly as beneficial to the community. That was the main takeaway from a Zoom presentation the homebuilder aired for Polo West residents on Wednesday, Nov. 11. Residents were able to ask questions but the microphones of listeners were muted. The Palm Beach Post was able to view the discussion because it was provided a link to the presentation by an interested party. GL Homes has created a website to provide information on its Polo West project, https://polowestdevelopmentfacts.com/ The Zoom presentation has been posted to the website. During the presentation Wednesday, GL Homes executive Larry Portnoy explained the company was taking advantage of a new state law that makes it easier for developers to build on shuttered golf courses.

New private club gets green flag for Palm Beach shopping plaza

A plan to bring new life to a decades-old shopping center in Worth Avenue's ocean block has received its first set of Town Hall approvals, paving the way for a new Palm Beach outpost from private-club magnate Robin Birley. The club at The Esplanade, 150 Worth Ave., would start with 300 memberships under the plans the Town Council approved Tuesday, Nov. 10. The council also granted permission for a new restaurant, a bakery, an expansive health spa and a jewelry store. "Robin and his father before him have owned and operated private, members-only clubs now for well over 60 years, so this is not a novice operation," Andrew West, director of Robin Birley Holdings, told the council. "We well understand that this is to be a town-serving club." The project to reimagine the aging structure that spans nearly the entire length of the iconic shopping street's 100 block would revitalize the former Saks Fifth Avenue big-box space. That two-story retailer shut its doors in Palm Beach in April 2025, and the building has since remained empty. The rest of the shopping plaza would see a range of updates and new architectural features designed by Fairfax, Sammons & Partners of Palm

Florida Issued Four Stop-Sale Orders After 11.67 Inches of Rain Hit West Palm Beach. They Won’t Cover the Water Already in Your Tank

Florida agriculture inspectors had issued four stop-sale orders and visited 125 fuel facilities in seven counties by Nov. 5, after 11.67 inches of rain fell on West Palm Beach on Nov. 1-2, according to CBS12's reporting on figures from the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. A stop-sale order shuts off a pump. It does nothing for the driver who filled up there the day before and is now holding a repair estimate, and water in gasoline is a hard thing to get anyone to pay for once it is in your tank.
