Road closures and partial closures are scheduled in Palm Beach

Snowbirds arriving in Palm Beach for the social season are encountering plenty of roadwork of the sort that kept drivers on their guard during the summer months. With multiple projects under way in town, returning residents can expect daily traffic slowdowns as they make their way around the island. The work ranges from the town's efforts to bury all its cellular, internet and powerlines , to the Florida Department of Transportation's work along State Road A1A . Those two projects come on top of the weekend closures of South Ocean Boulevard between Southern Boulevard and South County Road when President Donald Trump returns to his Mar-a-Lago Clubo , as he has done for the past few weeks. According to recent FAA notices, Trump is expected to return as early as Friday, Nov. 13. To keep residents informed, Town Hall staff regularly updates Palm Beach's website, TownofPalmBeach.com , with the latest information on what closures drivers can expect each week. Here's the latest rundown on what to expect on the roads. Bahama Lane between North Lake Way and North Ocean Boulevard is closed this week to all but local traffic. The same applies for Cocoanut Row between Royal Poinciana Way and

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

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

Citing DEI law, Delray Beach cancels St. Patrick's parade, Pride fest

Delray Beach will not host its annual St. Patrick's Day Parade or Pride events in 2027, citing a new state law that restricts how local governments can spend money on activities that promote diversity, equity and inclusion. The city made the announcement in a Facebook posting on Tuesday, Nov. 10. The parade and the festival have long drawn large crowds to the city's downtown area in March and June, respectively. The new state law, which takes effect Jan. 1, limits what cities, towns and villages can spend to create and promote activities defined under the legislation as DEI. These restrictions include certain programming and activities that refer to ethnicity, sexual orientation or gender identity. City officials said in their prepared statement that they had reviewed the legislation and determined that Delray Beach is legally prohibited from organizing, funding or promoting these events in 2027. "The City recognizes that these annual events have provided opportunities for members of the community to gather, celebrate, and connect," the city's statement said. "We appreciate the residents, participants, volunteers, and community partners who have contributed to these events over the years. "We remain committed to serving all residents and providing opportunities for community engagement consistent
