Early Lunch and a Milkshake, Green’s Pharmacy, Palm Beach
Okay, so you’ve finished your morning meetings on the island and are ravenous. You’re craving pancakes but your colleague wants a club sandwich. While this may be a predicament for some, you know you can have the best of both at Green’s, a circa-1938 pharmacy and luncheonette that has become a Palm Beach institution. The one thing you can agree on? Milkshakes for dessert.
5 P.M.
Meatloaf and Martini Mondays, Mr. B’s, West Palm Beach
It’s 5 o’clock always at Mr. B’s, Central County’s coolest new hot spot. Swing by on Mondays, when Mr. B’s Meatloaf (with mashed potatoes, cremini gravy, and Parmesan string beans) is on special and martinis with either Tito’s Vodka or Hendrick’s Gin are $12 a pop.

Late-Night Munchies, Flanigan’s, multiple locations
Flanigan’s is beloved for lunch and dinner (hello, baby back ribs of our dreams), but it really comes alive after a night on the town (the West Palm location is down the street from Mary Lou’s, just saying). Order a pitcher of anything and dig into a pile of curly fries, chicken wings, or Tumbleweed onions on the house.

Chicken Caesar Wrap, Vinny’s Café, Boca Raton
Skip breakfast and be at Vinny’s Café as soon as it opens to get your hands on the viral chicken Caesar wrap. While the wrap is available throughout the day, you’ll want to arrive early to avoid waiting in what can be an hourlong line. But is the wait worth it? Absolutely. Chicken Caesar wraps are having a moment—and Vinny’s chopped, loaded, and massive wrap is one of the best in the country.
1 P.M.
Midday Dessert, Sant Ambroeus, Palm Beach
Having dessert after a meal is fine, but if you really want to enjoy it without any savory distractions, give it top billing—and finish the whole thing! You can’t go wrong with any of the cakes, but let’s just say a slice of the Sant Ambroeus, with its moist almond sponge and heavenly chocolate mousse, gives new meaning to “afternoon delight.”
4 P.M.
BOGO Wings, Death by Pizza, Delray Beach
With two Delray locations—in downtown and out west—Death by Pizza and its Detroit-style pies have garnered a cult following among foodies ever since it opened in 2020.

Pastries and More, The Pantry by Rose’s Daughter, Delray Beach
If Friday is your designated cheat day, then buckle up. Make The Pantry by Rose’s Daughter your first stop. While there are plenty of healthy options to be had (we recommend the acai bowls), this spot is known for its made-from-scratch pastries and innovative mash-ups, including elevated Pop-Tarts, cookie croissants, and savory macarons.
1 P.M.
Box Lunch, Buccan Sandwich Shop, West Palm Beach
In the years since Clay Conley introduced this casual daytime complement to his popular Palm Beach restaurant, Buccan, the sandwich shop has all but dwarfed its predecessor—at least in terms of social media fame. The beef carpaccio sandwich, in particular, has received millions of views and likes on Instagram alone. Make it the centerpiece of your box lunch, which comes with a nonalcoholic drink, pickle, house-made chips, and a chocolate chip cookie for $24. Though this deal is only at the West Palm location, as of press time, plans were in action to offer it at the Palm Beach outpost too.
7 P.M.
White Cosmo and Tasting Menu, Café Boulud, Palm Beach
For the ultimate treat-yourself dinner, make a reservation to experience the tasting menu at Café Boulud inside The Brazilian Court Hotel.

Arrive a few minutes early to have a White Cosmo—easily one of the island’s best cocktails—prior to your four-star feast.
2 A.M.
24-Hour Window, Havana Restaurant, West Palm Beach
What you do with your Friday night is your own business. But should you find yourself with a late-night hankering for Cuban food, the answer is Havana. The restaurant’s walk-up window is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week—meaning it’s never too late (too early?) for ham croquettes, guava pastries, and empanadas.

Half-priced cocktails and sushi in the Dragonfly Lounge and restaurant terrace.
Saturday
7 A.M.
Doughnuts, Aioli, West Palm Beach
There aren’t many good reasons to wake up before 7 on a Saturday morning, but Aioli’s doughnuts are one of them. Early is key when it comes to scoring these brioche beauties, which boast such flavors as pumpkin spice, strawberry lemonade, and dulce de leche. Press the snooze button too many times, and you’ll have to wait until next week. Besides, you can always grab a signature Crack Coffee (espresso with your choice of milk, coconut oil, organic coconut sugar, cayenne, and cinnamon) to help wake up.
2:30 P.M.
Afternoon Menu, Pistache, West Palm Beach
For a lazy but tasty afternoon à la Paris, pull up a chair at Pistache and order a dish or two from the French bistro’s afternoon menu, available daily from 2:30 to 5 p.m. While “linner” may not be as catchy a portmanteau as “brunch,” this menu’s light yet flavorful dishes capture the best of lunch and dinner.
6 P.M.
Cocktails and Bar Bites, Juicy, West Palm Beach
Walk the few blocks from Pistache to Juicy, a 22-seat bar from the same culinary masterminds behind Tropical Smokehouse. As the name might suggest, tropical fruits are a star ingredient in Juicy’s cocktails. Order a round of Guava Pastelitos (the drink, not the pastry) and bar bites like a brisket quesadilla or the Elena Ruz, a salty-sweet sandwich named for a twentieth-century Cuban socialite.
9 P.M.
Late Dinner, Mary Lou’s, West Palm Beach
When a venue’s hours are listed as 6 p.m. to “late,” you know you’re in for a good time. Such is the case at Mary Lou’s. Whether you want a table for dancing or dining, reservations are essential. Should you be interested in the latter, Mary Lou’s slings an array of over-the-top indulgences, including a millionaire’s baked potato and burnt honey ice cream. The pièce de résistance? An A5 Wagyu Big Mac priced at $50.
