The Haute Guide to Worth Avenue

Worth Avenue has been called the Rodeo Drive of South Florida. One look and you understand why. Four blocks of Mediterranean Revival architecture designed by Addison Mizner in the early twentieth century, lined with the world’s most recognized luxury brands and the most interesting independent boutiques in Palm Beach, with hidden vias connecting the main avenue to a network of smaller courtyards where some of the most specific and most rewarding shopping on the island is found. Here is everything worth knowing before you go.

Stubbs and Wootton

Located at 340 Worth Avenue, Stubbs and Wootton is the most specifically Palm Beach boutique on the avenue and the one most worth knowing. The velvet needlepoint slippers designed in Palm Beach and handcrafted in Spain have become a signature of island style, and the shop has been outfitting Palm Beach’s most stylish residents since 1993. Custom designs are available. Monogramming is offered.

Van Cleef & Arpels

Located at 202 Worth Avenue, Van Cleef & Arpels brings one of the world’s most celebrated jewelry houses to the avenue with its signature floral motifs and iconic Alhambra collection. For fine jewelry that needs no introduction, this is the most recognizable address on Worth Avenue’s jewelry circuit.

Greenleaf & Crosby

One of the oldest jewelry destinations in Palm Beach, Greenleaf & Crosby has roots going back to 1894, making it one of the most enduring institutions on the avenue. The selection spans fine jewelry, watches, and estate pieces with the specific expertise that comes from more than a century serving the island’s most discerning collectors.

Richters of Palm Beach

A family estate jeweler at 224 Worth Avenue, Richters has roots going back to 1893. The selection spans estate pieces, contemporary fine jewelry, and rare gemstones, with the specific expertise that comes from generations in the same business.

Seaman Schepps

The hidden courtyards that run perpendicular to Worth Avenue — are where the most surprising shopping is found. Via Mizner and Via Parigi, both designed by Addison Mizner himself, contain a rotating collection of independent boutiques, art dealers, and specialty shops that reward the guest who wanders off the main avenue. The architecture alone is worth the detour.

Art Galleries

Findlay Galleries

Billed as the second oldest art gallery in America, Findlay Galleries represents more than 100 artists and artists’ estates, with a particular strength in Impressionist and Post-Impressionist works and a program that connects serious collectors with museum-quality pieces.

John H. Surovek Gallery

John H. Surovek Gallery specializes in American art, with a curated inventory of paintings, sculpture, and works on paper spanning the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. For collectors focused on the American tradition, it is among the most significant gallery destinations on Worth Avenue.

Tucked into Via Encantada just off Worth Avenue at 245A, Le Bilboquet brings the beloved New York French bistro institution to Palm Beach, with the same warm, unpretentious atmosphere, classic French menu, and reliably social crowd that has made the original a fixture for decades. Weekend nights get particularly lively after 9 PM when the music goes up. For a dinner that feels genuinely Palm Beach without the formality, Le Bilboquet is the right address.

Swifty’s

Swifty’s at The Colony, one block from Worth Avenue, is the most specifically Palm Beach dining room in the neighborhood, a beloved club-style restaurant that has been serving the island’s most established regulars for years. The room is warm, the menu is approachable, and the crowd reflects the specific combination of old money and new arrivals that defines Palm Beach during season.

Renato’s

The most romantic restaurant on Worth Avenue and the one most likely to be cited by Palm Beach’s most established residents as the dinner they return to most consistently. The Italian kitchen is precise and warm, the room is candlelit and intimate, and the covered courtyard garden setting makes it one of the most beautiful outdoor dining rooms on the island. Reservations are strongly recommended.
