Soak up food, culture and history on a culinary tour

BOYNTON BEACH - U.S. ArmyMaj. Nathan Boynton developed Boynton Beach as a retirement retreat when he moved here in 1894, at the age of 60.
 
He looked at what is now Ocean Avenue and said "I'll take this."
On Dec. 1, people from near and far can come learn local facts, eat local cuisine, explore art galleries and historic sites on Boynton Beach's culinary history tour, hosted by the Museum of Lifestyle & Fashion History.
 
The Taste History Culinary Tours of historic Palm Beach County are usually focused on dual cities, such as Lake Worth/Lantana and Delray Beach/Boynton Beach, but in December it will make its second solo tour of Boynton Beach.

"There is an emerging art scene in Boynton Beach and we're going to show that on Dec. 1," said Lori Durante, executive director at Museum of Lifestyle & Fashion History.
The last Boynton Beach tour visited the Boynton Beach Women's Club, the Schoolhouse Children's Museum, the Boynton Beach Library, Artful Dreamers Studio and sites along Ocean Avenue, also known as the Avenue of the Arts.
But Durante makes no promises that this tour will be anything like the last.
 
"No two tours are the same. We like to maintain an element of surprise, it gives us flexibility and allows people to relax and let the experience unfold naturally," she said.
Arline Kiselewski, secretary of the Palm Beach Gardens Historical Society, attended the first Boynton Beach culinary history tour in November. Before the trip, she had heard rumors about Boynton Beach, but had never been there.
 
"It was a real eye opener," she said. "Up here we've been reading about all the bad stuff happening with the police and the city. It was nice to see the side that wasn't having all those problems."
