West Palm Beach Cuisine Tour featuring Northwood Village review by Simply Sassy Style Blog

TASTE HISTORY CULINARY TOURS EXPAND TO NORTHWOOD VILLAGE/WEST PALM BEACH
Hello all you sassy foodies and art lovers!
 
Have I got a treat for you!!!! The Taste History Culinary Tours has expanded to the historic Northwood Village in West Palm Beach. I was super excited to have the pleasure of attending the inaugural tour, which is somewhat different than the standard culinary tour. This specific tour currently has well over 10 partners, of which include an array of eateries, art galleries and antique shops. Because it is a new tour, each attendee had the opportunity to chat and engage with each partner. During standard tours engagement and visits are limited.  
On the day of the inauguration, everyone met outside of Macy's (tour sponsor) in Boynton Beach, FL and after boarding the bus we started on our way. Once we reached Northwood village our fun filled day started at a bohemian chic restaurant called, The Garage VV. I simply love the atmosphere, and the veggie egg rolls are amazing! I cannot wait to return. Next, we stopped at a quaint family-owned restaurant called Cafe CentroThis is definitely a "will be returning soon" place. I love the Gnocchi, it is an absolute must try!!!!
