Hey Neighbor!
As you scout summer restaurant deals, thereâs one to add to your list â and one to take off:
â West Palmâs retro-chic sensation Mary Louâs just landed on USA Todayâs 2025 Bars of the Year list â making it one of the top 29 bars in America. With velvet booths, celebrity sightings, and cocktails that double as art, itâs officially a must-visit.
â Meanwhile, Konro, Palm Beach Countyâs first Michelin-starred restaurant, has been removed from the guide following its sudden closure and the chefâs arrest â a dramatic fall for what was once the regionâs culinary crown jewel.
