Lead story

The Eissey Campus Theatre on Palm Beach State College's Palm Beach Gardens campus is temporarily closed after damage to its fire sprinkler system, and the venue has notified ticket holders and organizations with events on its calendar while shows are rescheduled or relocated where possible. Subscription renewals for current members run May 26 through June 30, non-member renewals follow July 7 through August 3, and new subscription sales come after that, all tied to the theater at 11051 Campus Drive. PBSC says affected organizations have been contacted directly while repairs are underway. (Palm Beach State College)

Across Florida

Pura Vida Miami heads to Downtown Palm Beach Gardens

Pura Vida Miami has paperwork for a Downtown Palm Beach Gardens location at 11701 Lake Victoria Gardens Ave., Suite 3315, and Downtown Palm Beach Gardens' own website lists the spot as in the works. The menu leans on coffee and tea drinks, superfood smoothies, salads, bowls, and breakfast and lunch plates. The filing puts the health-focused chain inside the Downtown Palm Beach Gardens retail district, adding another daytime cafe option near the shopping center’s existing restaurant mix.

Field of Greens plans two Palm Beach Gardens locations

Field of Greens, the Palm Beach-born fast-casual chain run by Hess Musallet and Myron Miller, filed DBPR permits for two Palm Beach Gardens spots — Alton Town Center at 5320 Donald Ross Road and Avenir at 12485 Northlake Boulevard — with juices, salads, and breakfast and lunch on the menu. Earlier reporting expected both by April 2026. If both locations move ahead, the brand would cover two of the city’s fastest-growing retail nodes: Alton near Donald Ross Road and Avenir on Northlake Boulevard. (What Now Miami)

PBC Cafe Stuart has filed DBPR permit applications to bring Pilar Coffee Bar to 7100 Fairway Drive, with no opening date set yet. Pilar pours coffee and chocolate drinks alongside pastries, breakfast plates, sandwiches, and ancient-grain bowls. The permit filing puts the cafe near the PGA corridor, and the company’s coming-soon list also includes other South Florida markets, making Palm Beach Gardens part of a broader expansion push.

Smoke & Maple Gastropub picks Avenir for its first location

Smoke & Maple Gastropub, a locally owned spot serving rustic, refined fare, plans its first location at Avenir, 12325 Northlake Blvd., Suite 130, with a late-spring 2026 opening anticipated. The owner says the team chose Avenir because he lives in the neighborhood and watched the development take shape. The address places it inside the Avenir growth area, where new housing and retail have been reshaping the western edge of Palm Beach Gardens. (What Now Miami)

Things to do

Sandhill Crane posts Monday course closure for June 15

Sandhill Crane Golf Course and The Nest Par 3 list a Monday, June 15 closure for both courses and all practice facilities, including the driving ranges, while crews handle routine maintenance and summer projects. The Dancing Crane remains open from 3 to 8 p.m., and normal Monday operations are scheduled to resume October 5. For golfers, the practical note is that both the full course and The Nest Par 3 are affected, along with the practice facilities, so the listed Monday closure is broader than a single-course maintenance window.
