Spring is shaping up to be a season of community, tradition and a few smart excuses to plan ahead.
This week’s roundup touches on what readers are loving now, from a crowd‑sourced awards list worth saving to hands‑on experiences that bring people together after hours.
There’s a charming bakery’s expansion, thoughtful Passover and Easter menus designed for entertaining, meaningful holiday tables for Greek Easter, a long‑running wine event that supports local history and a new pizza opening in Royal Palm Beach.
Consider this your guide to what’s new, what’s timely and what’s worth putting on the calendar.
We heard you loud and clear
The Palm Beach County Community’s Choice Awards are powered entirely by readers, with nominations and daily voting determining winners across hundreds of categories. This year’s list reflects broad community participation, with standouts including Aioli, Blackbird, The Breakers and Okeechobee Steakhouse, all longtime reader and personal favorites. Keep the winners list bookmarked for a handy reference when planning where to eat across the county.
Speaking of Aioli…
Mahjong is having a moment, and Aioli is leaning in. The Michelin Bib Gourmand‑awarded bakery has partnered with Kari Long of Majh on the Beach for Mahjong After Hours, a monthly series kicking off March 31 with beginner classes to April’s new‑card session. Events run 6 to 8:30 p.m. Tickets and dates are available on Aioli’s website.

Restaurant on the move
Tartelette, the fantastic French patisserie and café known for its exquisite pastries, including what the owners lovingly call “fruit art” and “nut art” (call me obsessed), opened a new location in Delray Beach as its Boca Raton building prepares to shutter. Owned by Bulent and Dilge Kiymir, the café now has a full kitchen, allowing them to expand into breakfast and brunch alongside their signature jewel‑like desserts. Open Tuesday through Sunday.
