Taste of Northwood Village: Food, Music & Street Festival Magic

Step Into the Spotlight, Northwood Village—It’s Time to Taste the Magic!

Calling all flavor-seekers and cultural explorers, for an unforgettable evening in one of South Florida’s most storied neighborhoods.

Taste of Northwood Village is back—our sizzling, spotlight-stealing food experience that happens only three times a year. And trust me, if you haven’t strolled these historic streets with a tasting passport in your hand and a grin on your face, you haven’t truly lived the Northwood experience.

Friday, December 12, 5:00 – 7:00

Picture it: the sun dipping behind the palms, the glow of vintage streetlamps warming the boulevard, and the charming early-20th-century architecture—homes built during Florida’s legendary 1920s boom—standing as living witnesses to a neighborhood that has seen it all, from railroad tycoons to mid-century artists to the vibrant cultural community we celebrate today.

On this special night, you become part of that story.

A Self-Guided, Flavor-Filled Tasting Tour

Eight delicious tastings, plenty for dinner.
Dozens of local vendors.
And the unmistakable heartbeat of Northwood Village.

This edition of Nights in Northwood debuts three sensational new stops, each one hand-picked to showcase the flavor, craft, and cultural soul of this beloved district.

🦞 1. Palm Beach Lobster & Seafood

Get ready, seafood lovers—because this father-and-son duo embodies thespirit of old Florida. Real fishermen. Real divers. Real ocean-to-table mastery.

Their flavors taste like they were pulled straight from the pages of Florida’s maritime history, when Northwood’s early residents walked these very streets in salt-sprayed work boots.

You absolutely must try the hot-buttered Florida lobster roll, Let’s just say you’ll be telling friends you “discovered” them long before they became legendary.

🥟 2. Cornucopia – The Empanada Destination

Pedro and Misleidy—culinary artists, food visionaries, and the genius duo behind Mestizo—have created a temple of empanada perfection.

Here, flaky, golden pockets are filled with globally inspired creations that honor both Latin tradition and Northwood Village’s artistic, multicultural roots.

Fair warning: this stop has been known to spark obsessions. Delicious, delicious obsessions.

🍰 3. Café Sweets

For more than 20 years, Sherilyn has been Palm Beach County’s reigning queen of cake—an icon in her own right.

Now, she brings her dessert royalty to our Northwood runway. Don’t leave without the famed ultra-moist coconut cake, a slice that tastes like it was kissed by the Caribbean breeze. And her rustic, true Southern style carrot cake? Pure poetry.
