Once a high end shopping mecca, Boca Raton’s Mizner Park has sadly become a retail desert, but still remains a place for freshly coiffed women to lunch at outdoor cafes. It has a bowling alley, small indoor theater, outdoor amphitheater, movie theater, and a grassy island with gazebos, potted plants, and garden benches. Mizner Park is on Federal Highway, between Palmetto Park and Glades roads (tel. 561/362-0606).

Boca’s Town Center Mall, on the south side of Glades Road, just west of I-95, has a few remaining department stores, including Nordstrom, Bloomingdale’s, Neiman Marcus, and Saks Fifth Avenue. Add hundreds of specialty shops, an extensive food court, and a range of other restaurants, and you have the area’s most comprehensive shopping center.

On Delray Beach’s Atlantic Avenue, especially east of Swinton Avenue and in the Pineapple Grove area, you’ll find a few shops, clothing stores, and galleries shaded by palm trees and colorful awnings.
