Palm Beach County Offers $5,000 Grants After Greenacres Plane Crash Closure

PALM BEACH COUNTY, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2026 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — Businesses hurt by the Military Trail closure after this month’s plane crash near Greenacres can now get some help. Palm Beach County commissioners on Nov. 10 approved $250,000 for the Military Trail Business Interruption Grant Program, which offers eligible businesses and nonprofits a one-time grant of up to $5,000 while the money lasts. A private aircraft went down near Greenacres on Nov. 1, partially shutting down Military Trail and cutting off access for customers and deliveries. County Administrator Joseph Abruzzo launched the program on Nov. 2 under local emergency authority. The Department of Housing and Economic Development will run it, and the grants can cover rent, payroll, utilities and essential inventory. The county will estimate each applicant’s loss from its latest filed business tax return, based on a 30-day interruption. Awards go out first-come, first-served until the funds run dry or every eligible applicant is paid. The grant zone runs along Military Trail from Broadway Street on the south to Kelly Drive and Sussex Avenue on the north, and the county will check every address against the boundary on its official program map. Applicants must have been operating

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

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.

Thanksgiving at Palm Beach restaurants offers far more than turkey

A notable gatecrasher to the longstanding turkey-and-fixings Thanksgiving tradition is enjoying a colorful presence at the holiday feasts planned by Palm Beach’s restaurants. Talk turkey if you must, but vegetarian dishes are among the specials dining establishments on the island are featuring in addition to the grand ol’ bird on the holdiay, which this year falls on Nov. 26. But rest assured: Turkey has hardly flown the coop, as every restaurant in town that’s open on Thanksgiving will feature organic and other high-quality turkey with stuffing, gravy and other beloved components. But meatless holiday options are growing in popularity. Selections include fish, of course, but in recent years, vegetable-based entrees have joined the Thanksgiving party, because restaurateurs recognize many diners’ appreciation for them. Many restaurants in town also will offer their regular menus on Nov. 26. Making advance reservations is required or highly recommended. Here’s a taste of how chef-prepared golden-skinned roast turkey is just the beginning of what awaits at island restaurants — plus one in nearby Manalapan — on Thanksgiving. Café Boulud at The Brazilian Court 301 Australian Ave. With a French-cuisine spin on traditional Thanksgiving favorites, Café Boulud is featuring a three-course prix-fixe holiday menu created by

Florida's anti-DEI law takes aim at St. Patrick's Day parade. What's next? | Opinion

When lawmakers passed a state law last year that bans local government from funding and promoting DEI (diversity, equity and inclusion) initiatives, Gov. Ron DeSantis was quick to crow that the measure was on-brand for Florida, the state “ where woke goes to die .” It may be time for the governor to rewrite that line. Thanks to him and the law he championed, Florida is now becoming known as the place where St. Patty’s Day parades go to die. It sounds ridiculous but it’s true. The city of Delray Beach announced this week that it had to cancel two events next year — the St. Patrick’s Day Parade and a Pride event — because they don’t comply with the anti-DEI law. The city “has determined that it is legally prohibited from organizing, funding, or promoting these events in 2027,“ according to a statement on the Delray Beach website . An enormous outcry followed. Residents and business owners are angry. The mayor is now saying he is “ working feverishly ” with multiple organizations to find outside funding from private interests to pay for the parade. This parade was so important, he said, it was “ engrained in the DNA

Woman Sues Apple For $350 Million Over Wellington Store Discrimination Claim

WELLINGTON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2026 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — A Palm Beach County woman is suing Apple for $350 million. She claims staff at the Apple Store in The Mall at Wellington Green treated her like a thief because she is Black, then took her iPhone apart and handed it back broken. Curtashia Oliver, who is representing herself, says she went to the store with her husband on Sept. 25 for a confirmed appointment. She had forgotten the passcode to her iPhone 14 Plus and just wanted it erased. According to the complaint, the employee helping her told a coworker, “She’s Black, she probably stole it, I don’t know if I should help her erase it.” Oliver says she heard it. The suit also claims staff joked about her older phone and kept asking whether it was really hers. Oliver alleges employees took the phone to a back room and kept her at the store for hours past closing. When it came back, the suit says, it had been completely disassembled, its internal retention screws were removed, and it looked like it had been dropped. The phone now won’t get past recovery mode, cutting her off from her photos,
