Palm Beach AD recommendation?

I'm flying down to Palm Beach FL to accompany my daughter on a job interview I have some time to kill is there an AD around the area to do some window shopping? Also any restaurant recommendations for those familiar with the area would be appreciated were staying on Singer Island

BTW I'm taking my Explorer with me hope to do some swimming to try out the rubber B!

Worth Avenue is NOT in West Palm Beach but rather in the Town of Palm Beach on the island of Palm Beach which is East of West Palm Beach. PB is on the ocean and WPB is not.

Palm Beach AD recommendation?

Panama-hatties.com on the inter-coastal (before dinner grab a drink at Rum Bar and try to get the ring on the hook)
Strip House in Palm Beach Gardens (manly, dimly lit steakhouse)
Angry Moon Lounge (cigar and nice brandy after a good steak)
Cucinadelarte.com on Palm Beach (after dinner cocktail at the bar, chat up the guy next to you, he may just own a Fortune 500 company)


Used to live in Palm Beach before moving here (Hawaii), so many fun places to eat and have a cocktail, enjoy!

Lots to see, but doors close promptly @ 5 to 5:30 in most locations so plan accordingly.

If you want to head a little north, Guanabannas in Jupiter.

http://www.guanabanas.com

Also there's a great HD dealership in Palm Beach

Tourneau, in Palm Beach, made me feel like I was down on my luck. I was wearing my Sub 1680, and the salesman commented that I was wearing a 30 year old Rolex. No one in the store seemed to be interested in helping me. I finally had to ask several of the salespeople gathered together talking to each other; if they did, in fact, work there. Several years ago, it was much different, a saleswoman followed me from case to case showing me anything I wanted to see. I wonder if it was because I was wearing a Franck Muller Master Banker, or a lazier bunch of workers.

My family motto has always been, "we can afford to eat anywhere for breakfast." The brunch at The Breakers is fantastic. (Sometime I will have to tell the story about how they tried to get me to erase the picture of the new Ferrari I took while they were setting up for its unveiling at a show in their parking lot.)
100% agree about Tourneau! I have developed a relationship with one their sale folks and he treats me really well while the other bunch stand around chit chatting and looking annoyed by my presence.


So what the Ferrari story???
