Good Morning Palm Beach County!
We're getting closer to Halloween, but there's more happening around Palm Beach County this week than pumpkins and haunted houses.
From an unusual dining experience inspired by famous works of art to local exhibitions and live music, there are a few interesting ways to break up the usual weekday routine. And if you're looking to get more involved in what's happening around town, there's an opportunity for that, too.
Here are five things worth checking out this week.

DINNER MEETS FINE ART
Dinner and a show is one thing, but dinner inspired by famous works of art? That's a little different.
Mary Lou's Palm Beach is hosting The Surreal Meal Wednesday evening, an immersive five-course dining experience created in collaboration with artist Cayla Birk of The Palatte.
The menu takes inspiration from well-known artists, including Frida Kahlo and Salvador Dalí, transforming their creative styles into inventive dishes. Guests are also encouraged to dress in black with an avant-garde twist, making the evening feel a little more like an art event than a traditional dinner reservation.
At $250 per person, it's definitely a splurge, but it's also one of the more unusual dining experiences on this week's calendar.
Where: Mary Lou's Palm Beach, 250 Southern Boulevard, West Palm Beach
When: Wednesday, October 21
Cost: $250 per person
Good fit for: Food lovers, art enthusiasts, special occasions and anyone looking for a memorable night out.
SIX DECADES OF ART IN ONE EXHIBITION

The exhibition explores more than six decades of Schuster's artistic career through charcoal, collage, multimedia and printmaking. Her work focuses on the human experience, using different techniques and materials to explore emotion, identity and the world around us.
It's a chance to see a wide range of work from one artist while exploring one of West Palm Beach's distinctive cultural spaces.

MAHJONG WITH A TWIST
If you've been curious about mahjong but never quite knew where to start, Wednesday evening might be your chance.
Mahjong + Martinis at AKA West Palm brings together a little friendly competition and a relaxed social atmosphere.
Guests can take part in a guided lesson with the Mahj Palm Society or join an open game if they're already familiar with the rules. It's a different way to spend an evening, whether you're looking to learn something new or simply get out with friends.

It's a good opportunity for anyone interested in the changes happening downtown to get involved in the conversation.
