At one time, Worth Ave. was an exclusive enclave for old money. After a couple of major remakes, it has become a bit more touristy and added a few chain stores. There's even a mall at the eastern end with a Starbuck's. (In fact, the mall's parking garage is a convenience.) Nevertheless, Worth Ave. remains the preeminent, beautiful, and pricey commercial district of Palm Beach. I recommend visiting during “the season” (winter) for a few reasons: the weather is temperate, there is more activity, and, during the holidays, the decorations are special. If you only plan to window-shop, try visiting after dark; many shops are closed, but the lights are nice, nearby nightspots are open, and it's cooler. If you plan to buy, go during a sunny afternoon. There are spaces between the buildings, called “vias,” that are accessible only by foot. Some of these feature decorative tile-work, pools, and gardens. Take time to explore them, but please do not call them alleys. In short, if you're in the Palm Beaches, Worth Ave. is still a “must see.”

Terrific shopping - make sure to go down some of the side alleys/side streets to see more boutiques and restaurants. The architecture, sculpture and landscaping in these side streets are lovely. We made the rookie mistake of parking on the Ocean Blvd and paying $5/hr. you can park on worth st for two hours for free if you can find a spot (and we saw plenty) or you can valet at Newman Marcus for $3/hr.
We were hungry and wanted to get an appetizer and drink and walked into taboo only to find out they have a great happy hour menu- that was a deal! Cliquot by the glass for $13 - awesome. Very good food on the happy hour menu as well.

Spent several hours walking up and down Worth. The people and car watching were wonderful. The windows all beautiful to behold. Shop owners were more than willing to let me bring my dog inside while I browsed and gave her cold water when she needed it.

Lovely street with lovely stores and well dressed shoppers which leads to a beautiful beach. Great restaurants tucked in the side alleys. Everything done with lovely taste.
