9 Restaurants Where You Can Dine Among the Dead

"Fairly hidden among the fern fronds of the Pizza Al Fresco courtyard, you’ll find the only cemetery in Palm Beach proper. It’s technically a pet cemetery, but the spider monkey buried beneath one of the only two headstones was more than just a pet to Jazz Era bon vivant Addison Mizner, whose “Mediterranean Revival” architecture remains the signature style of Palm Beach resorts.  Johnnie Brown, “The Human Monkey,” was just one of Mizner’s exotic and unusual pets. The monkey accompanied Mizner to all of his Gilded Age high society events and was invited as a special guest, along with his monkey companion Deuteronomy, to attend the Scopes Trial, a trial in which a teacher was charged for teaching evolution. Mizner declined the invitation on behalf of the privileged primate. The trial wasn’t the spider monkey’s only brush with politics. Johnnie Brown also ran for mayor, obviously backed and supported by Mizner. It’s said that Johnnie Brown and his canine graveyard-mate, Laddie, playfully haunt the plaza and boutiques along Worth Ave, and business owners instruct their employees to leave ramekins (okay, monkey dishes!) of sliced bananas out at night for them." - ATLAS_OBSCURA
