Welcome to this edition of The Palm Beach Weekender! A weekly roundup of local weekend events, plus some other cool things happening in our area.

Weekly Scoop

🛍️ New Stores & Renovations At The Gardens Mall
The Gardens Mall has announced that five new stores will open this year, including Aritzia (which opened last week) and Yeti. Meanwhile, six existing stores are undergoing renovations or expansions.

🏥 New Hospital Coming To WPB
Cleveland Clinic has launched a $500m fundraising campaign to build a new hospital near downtown West Palm Beach. The facility will include around 150 inpatient beds, an emergency department, an ambulatory surgery center, and a medical office building. Just more proof that our county is growing like crazy!

🚧 Roadway Projects May Finally Be Completed
I was surprised to learn that two intersections in the county have been under construction for about three years, but residents may finally see relief. The affected intersections are Gateway Blvd & Military and Hypoluxo & Jog.

What’s Cooking

🍔 Burger Bash Winner Coming Soon
Last week at the South Beach Wine & Food Festival, Skinny Louie took home the Very Best Burger Award. Their winning creation? The Wagyu Louie: double smashed wagyu patties, melted gouda, truffle aioli, and pickled jalapeños on a brioche bun. Typing that made me hungry. So why am I bringing this up? Because they’re planning to open a location in WPB soon! I’ll be sure to announce it here when it’s official.

🍷 Calling All Wine Lovers 
Tonight, Boca Bacchanal kicks off with Bacchus Beckons  at Saks Fifth Avenue in Boca. This special evening will feature ticket sales for the much anticipated Vintner Dinners in April, plus the announcement of hosts, chefs, and wineries. You can also enjoy delicious bite sized specialties and wine samples. Tickets for this event are $60 but the tickets that will be sold for the Vintner Dinners will be $350 per person
