Find the perfect slice of pie at these Palm Beach County restaurants

Though cakes and cookies seem to bogart the dessert spotlight more often than not, there's nothing more classic than a great slice of pie. Beautiful, flaky, buttery, tart, sweet and, more than any other dessert (IMHO), made with true passion and love, pies are straight up, old school cool! Yes, pouring cake batter into pans and scooping out balls of dough onto baking sheets is an art and requires dedication and skill, but building that perfect crust and crafting a filling that combines sugar, spice and everything nice is a baking pinnacle that's always strived for, but seldom reached. Like the all-time classic movie "True Romance" when, after watching three Sonny Chiba movies in a row, Alabama asks Clarence "Do you want to get some pie?" Let's get some pie in Palm Beach County. Here are six pies worth checking out: The House, West Palm Beach The House's version of key lime pie is crafted from executive chef Jason Van Bomel's recipe and is a rockstar from the ground up. The crust is made with macadamia nuts and graham crackers, the filling features fresh-squeezed key lime juice and then the top is house-made whipped cream with just a little lime

Palm Beach County voters OK tax cut and millions for parks, libraries

Palm Beach County voters supported a measure Nov. 3 that will slash property taxes while overwhelmingly approving tax increases to fund more than $400 million in l ibrary and park improvements. Amendment 3, the statewide referendum that significantly increases the homestead property tax exemption, passed in Palm Beach County by 20 percentage points. At the same time, county voters approved a $285 million parks bond and a $175 million library bond by nearly 2-to-1 margins. "It is great that voters recognized the need for improvements to our parks and libraries," said County Commissioner Maria Marino. "But now we have to figure out how to keep these buildings open once they are built." John Chrastka, executive director of Chicago-based EveryLibrary, a nonprofit that helped the county library system design a campaign, said the juxtaposition of dual approvals for a property tax cut and a bond is not the contradiction it appears to be. More: Palm Beach County voters could approve $150 million for a new main library “People value what libraries offer and were willing to approve the county bond even though many also voted for Amendment 3,” Chrastka said, noting Amendment 3 passed because of overall distrust of government. “The

WELLINGTON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2026 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — The family of a woman who died last year is suing The Luxe at Wellington Rehab Center, claiming staff let her slide into sepsis, malnutrition and dehydration while she lived there. Deanna MacDonald, the daughter of Mary Olsen and the personal representative of her estate, filed the lawsuit in Palm Beach County Circuit Court. It names Wellington Rehab and Health Center, LLC, the facility’s licensee and owner. Olsen died May 20, 2025.
