Number 6. Shop Til You Drop on the Avenue, in the Vias, or on Antique Row
Ask any concierge at the Breakers, Chesterfield or Colony where to shop and they will immediately point you to one of the nation's most exclusive retail destinations, Palm Beach's Worth Avenue. Anchored with a stunning Neiman Marcus and glamorous Saks, Worth Avenue continues to entice the well-heeled shopper to fabulous stores like Hermes, Chanel, Valentino, Gucci, Escada, Ferragamo, Tiffany's, Louis Vuitton and Stubbs & Woonton.
The adorable Mizner-designed vias off Worth contain unusual, locally-owned boutiques, galleries and eateries. Venture across the Middle Bridge and you'll find CityPlace, a lifestyle center where Williams-Sonoma, Pottery Barn, Restoration Hardware and Anthropologie call home among Muvico, Cheesecake Factory and the Improv Comedy Club. During our top ten list discussion, my son put in a vote for the kitschy galleries and antique shops along Dixie Highway between Southern Boulevard and Forest Hill. So many treasures; so little time
