President’s Letter

Welcome to Worth Avenue

A

s the world around us becomes more standardized and hurried, Worth Avenue stands out as a destination of quality, where personal touch and exceptional experiences are the norm rather than the exception. For over a century, the Avenue’s commitment to service and integrity not only continues to flourish, but gets better and better with each passing year. We are thrilled not only to embrace—but to contribute decisively—to the vibrant growth of our region.

We are delighted to welcome new fashion houses, top culinary talents, and world-renowned art galleries into our fold.

In 2023, we commemorated the 100th birthday of visionary architect Addison Mizner, the maestro behind our glorious destination. Thanks to his vision, we have inherited a magnificent tapestry of luxury and timeless style, a legacy our guests experience with each leisurely stroll down the Avenue.

I encourage you to delve into the rich history of our beloved Avenue through our award-winning Historical Tour, or simply lose yourself in the charm of our vias, our renowned shops and the picturesque beach beyond.

As the new season unfurls, we eagerly anticipate Worth Avenue’s annual calendar of events, from our Christmas tree lighting to our spring Worth Avenue Pet Parade to any number of other cherished traditions we enjoy throughout the year. Allow yourself to be swept away by the magic of the Worth Avenue spirit—all year long.

As the world is keenly aware: If you haven’t been to Worth Avenue, you haven’t been to Palm Beach. We look forward to welcoming you to experience our unforgettable charms.

Warm Regards,

Mission Statement

The Association actively serves Worth Avenue business members and the community through advertising, sponsorship of local events, social activities and charitable endeavors, and regular networking events.

The Association’s primary goal is to promote, preserve and enhance the Worth Avenue business district befitting the Town of Palm Beach, while maintaining a welcoming and professional environment.

“If you haven’t been to Worth Avenue… you haven’t been to Palm Beach”

Celebrating over

100 years in Palm Beach assatly’s Inc., a Palm Beach tradition since 1923, is celebrating 100 years in business. Brothers Robert and Edward Kassatly joined their father Sam in the late 1950s and have been working together ever since to serve the needs of its discriminating clientele. The store is based on a tradition of personal service, unique merchandising and an uncompromising commitment to quality and customer service–qualities that undoubtedly contributed to the Kassatly brothers being honored as business leaders of the year for 1993 by the Palm Beach Daily News and awarded the prestigious Worth Avenue One and Only Award for 1997.

The shop’s specialties include the finest collections of custom designed Madeira linens for the table, bed and bath, as well as a large selection of hand-embroidered ladies and men’s handkerchiefs made especially for Kassatly’s. In addition to imported linens, Kassatly’s also carries a very fine line of domestic linens, American and European ladies, mens, and childrens sleepwear, cashmere sweaters, and a few select items in men’s sportswear. Special themes such as Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, golf, tennis, sea life, and assorted horse themes endow the store’s linens with a whimsical charm–and a personal touch.

establishing Café Boulud Palm Beach at the timeless Brazilian Court Hotel. “For me, going to Palm Beach was more of a love affair with the town and the (hotel’s) owner that invited me to join him,” he says.

This first venture outside of Manhattan (where his eponymous Michelin-starred Daniel restaurant is) felt like a natural next step for him. His Northeastern clients, who were flocking to Palm Beach for the winter, were also urging him to bring his talent to the island. Since Café Boulud opened in 2003, celebrities, socialites, executives, locals and visitors have sauntered up the steps to sip martinis at the bar before dining at the sleek, sophisticated restaurant with its iconic pecky cypress-and-seashell ceiling.

Rather than simply duplicate a menu of successful entrees from his New York address, Boulud developed dishes that capture a sense of place, such as local spiced mahi with Key West shrimp and curry leaf, to complement his world-famous Brittany dover sole and Maine lobster.

He also brought back the idea of dining as an event, hosting six-course, three-and-a-half-hour tasting menus nightly. The restaurant occasionally presents four-course dinners at private estates, and its weekend

t’s been 20 years since Café Boulud splashed onto the Palm Beach dining scene, and it remains one of the island’s gold standards for artistically conceived, creatively plated French cuisine. To honor this anniversary—which is akin to two or three lifetimes in the mercurial restaurant world—Worth Avenue magazine caught up with its namesake founder to reflect on his journey.

Daniel Boulud is a celebrated chef and renowned global restaurateur.

Born in Lyon, he made a name for himself in New York City before

brunches and prix-fixe lunches are year-round favorites. As for proper dinner attire, while most Palm Beach restaurants have relaxed their requirements, Café Boulud still requests that “during the high season, jackets are preferred.”

The restaurant has earned four stars in the coveted Forbes Travel Guide, and received a “Best Of” award from Wine Spectator. Boulud says he attributes his successful venture and meaningful anniversary to the loyalty and support of his customers and staff who have helped him through the years. (The superstars running Café Boulud Palm Beach include Executive Chef Dieter Samijn, G.M. Lucian V. Puscasu and Executive Pastry Chef Julie Franceschini.) Looking to the future, he seeks to continue improving the restaurant, its food and its service, and hinted at his hopes to bring the Michelin Guide’s esteemed admiration north to Palm Beach.

His beloved reputation is intertwined with fine dining, so we had to ask: Now that Copenhagen’s Noma—a serial winner for the best restaurant in the world—will shutter in 2024, is haute cuisine doomed?

“It has nothing to do with fine dining,” he says. “It doesn’t mean fine dining is not a sustainable business. (Noma Chef ) René Redzepi has an incredible talent. René will not stay put. (He) is a renaissance man. He will reinvent himself.”

When he’s not in the kitchen, Boulud enjoys quiet evenings at home with his wife Katherine (who he met at Café Boulud Palm Beach) and their two children. On the family’s dinner table: roasted chicken, mashed potatoes, corn or broccoli. But if there’s caviar and Champagne in the fridge, he cheerily says he’ll enjoy that too. And in true French style, dinner always concludes with a cheese plate.

THE OFFICIAL DRINK OF WORTH AVENUE

This year’s signature Worth Avenue cocktail is concocted courtesy of Bice (313 Worth Avenue, 561/835-1600), one of the island’s premier Italian restaurants. Befitting the endless-summer vibe of the Palm Beaches, the drink offers a sweet, citrusy, flavorful riff on a traditional martini, topped off with a slice of the state fruit of Florida.

A Special Connection A classic home finds new life with color, global inspirations and interior designer Jennifer Garrigues’ deft touch.

T

hey had worked together several times in the past, and designer Jennifer Garrigues had a pulse on what excited her client. For this historical property in Quogue, New York, which was once owned by an admiral and proudly sits on a small hill overlooking the water, Garrigues wanted to work with a simple background. The idea was to enhance a light, airy and comfortable feel, while infusing colorful moments. “We started by finding scrumptious rugs, which gave us the inspiration for the rest of the design,” Garrigues says. “The fabulous art and accessories brought in a lot of the color. Lastly, the flowers created the magic of this home.”

The design team added lacquer paint to several of the ceilings to reflect some of the natural lighting, creating an enchanting ambience. Garrigues also traveled with the client to Morocco, where they found unique lighting fixtures that worked effortlessly into the design schemes.

One of the client’s treasures was an antique pineapple chandelier that the design team used to craft an entire space. “We created a garden room in the enclosed patio area by using boxwood hedges against the walls and beautiful olive trees,” Garrigues says. “This created a magical and romantic setting—perfect for a wonderful lunch with friends or a sunset dinner.”

“Clean skin care has really taken over the beauty industry,” Johnston says. “Consumers are more savvy than ever and are paying attention to what is going on their bodies as well as in their bodies. Our skin is like a sponge, absorbing up to 60 percent of what we apply to it. Making a conscious decision to go clean when it comes to beauty is a great way to limit chemical exposure and possible skin irritation.”

The Vias

Discover the special character of Worth Avenue through its hidden courtyards

T

he idea of Worth Avenue was never intended to stop at a lovely shopping promenade. When legendary architect Addison Mizner dreamed it up, he imbued it with a romantic interpretation of a Mediterranean village, full of flowers and stonework, al fresco dining, and courtyards called “vias” winding off the main avenue. The vias are full of shops and tile work, art and orchids, bistros and bougainvillea.

Via “Amore” is Italian for love, which perfectly describes one of Worth Avenue’s largest vias. Via Newsome and Via Mario feel as if they were beamed from an Italian piazza.

Via Parigi mixes the beauty of South Florida and Europe with Old World architecture and tropical palm trees lining the narrow entrance path, opening to a beautiful Parisian-inspired courtyard. The intricate mosaic staircase is one of Via Parigi’s alluring features, and the many balconies add to its European charm.

Via Roma is small and simple, but it is the perfect spot to relax and stargaze after a shoptill-you-drop afternoon on Worth Avenue. Via Bice’s blue-and-white arched walkway leads you to a courtyard with a replica of the Venus de Milo. The via, which has recently undergone a renovation—including a lush arbor—is most notable for Bice, the see-and-be-seen

restaurant with authentic Italian cuisine. And you can snag a table outside in its romantic courtyard to fully absorb the via’s vibe.

Via Mizner is a testament to Mizner himself, who once lived there, atop the shops; one of the most unique aspects of the via is its small graves, home to Mizner’s pet monkey Johnnie Brown, and Laddie, a dog that belonged to a later Mizner apartment owner, Rose Sachs. This via is also home to Renato’s, Worth Avenue’s most romantic restaurant.

All of the vias have their special attributes, their timeless architecture and tropical charm. You haven’t experienced Worth Avenue until you’ve wandered through every one of them.

On the Go Rediscover the charm of traveling in style

I

f 2020 was the year of COVID, then the summer of 2023 was the year of travel. Airlines and hotels are bouncing back, and everyone is taking well-needed holidays; in fact, if you wanted to find anyone this summer, all you had to do was hop a plane to Europe.

If there’s a downside to all of this, it might be about appearances, giving the Ugly American a whole new meaning. Ever since COVID, many people have adopted a way of dressing that is less about style and grace and more about Lycra and T-shirts. And massive tennis shoes. Let’s be honest, there’s nothing better than being comfortable when you’re on the go, but traveling doesn’t mean you let your style fly out the window. For example, I never travel without wearing a jacket—it instantly elevates your look, and you also are treated with more deference. And it shows a little respect for those in the travel and hospitality industry. Here are some Avenue finds that will have you looking sharp wherever your travels may take you:

1

2

The Loro Piana super-soft cotton shirt styled with a fitted cut is a versatile, lightweight wardrobe essential. Use it by the pool, a night on the town, or with a blazer for an elegant look.

2

Keep yourself organized with the Ferragamo compact cross-body bag made of smooth calf leather with double Gancio buckles on the sides and a suede-lined interior. It’s perfect for securing everything in one place.

3 Swap out your gym shorts for the Vilebre-

quin Mahina style (quick dry) swimsuit. The swimsuit can be folded into your back pocket for easy travel, and yet it’s dressy enough to double as shorts.

4

I learned long ago to always keep a second toiletry case “loaded” and ready to go. This classic Gucci Dopp Kit combines the signature Double G detail with the GG Supreme canvas in grey and black.

5

Elevate your style with a handmade Italian crocodile belt from Maus and Hoffman. It can dress up a sharp suit or blazer to add a touch of sophistication to casual jeans.

6 Upgrade the summer beach bracelets to the Tiffany & Co. Lock for men. (If feathers make the

peacock, accessories make the man!)

7

Keep the smartwatch in your luggage, but opt for a real timepiece, like the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Tribute Duoface Calendar watch from Jaeger-LeCoultre Boutique.

8

Pack your Churchill Cigar Company travel cigar humidor, the only way to ensure your cigar arrives safe and sound.

9 Trade out those sneakers for the Stubbs & Wootton cotton needlepoint travel slipper. Unlined,

1

they’re very light and comfortable and fit easily in your luggage.

or more than a century, Palm Beach has been the golden dream of Florida, despite humble origins in 1972, when a few pioneers arrived to homestead. Word spread, however, of an island paradise, and the first hotel opened by the 1890s, followed by Henry Flagler’s Royal Poinciana Hotel in 1894 and the Florida East Coast Railway two years later. Today, a century later, the island is defined by sweeping ocean-to-lake mansions, a tangible air of privilege, and the kind of wealth—much of it from newly relocated residents from the Northeast—that is unprecedented, even here. Here’s how it began.

COURTESY HISTORICAL SOCIETY OF PALM BEACH COUNTY

Palm Beach and its elegant and legendary “Main Street,” Worth Avenue, still commands its place as one of the most elegant and privileged communities in the world. Here are the high points of its romantic past, and a close-up of some don’t-miss points of interest along the Avenue.

1960s Worth Avenue

20 s The New Social Address: The 1920s in Palm Beach solidified its reputation as the next winter playground for the social set, and Worth Avenue came into its own, with Saks Fifth Avenue, R. H. Macy’s, and weekly runway fashion shows at the Everglades Club. According to historian Augustus Mayhew, in late 1927, “Worth Avenue was hit with a wave of automobile showrooms, set alongside windows displaying beach pajamas, bathing costumes and espadrilles. At its peak, there were eight showrooms on the avenue. … During the 1920s there were believed to be more RollsRoyces on Palm Beach than anywhere else in the world.”

Soon after, the stock market crashed, but Palm Beach carried on fairly unscathed, in its bubble of privilege and gaiety.

When Prohibition ended in the early 1930s, Palm Beach became even more Palm Beach (not that Prohibition really stopped much of the carousing); by the 1932 season, a national recovery was reported, and Palm Beach hotels were 80 percent booked.

40 s But Then the War

During World War II, Palm Beach residents and visitors, like much of the mainland, were subject to gas restrictions and ration cards. Blackouts became part of the winter season. Residents enlisted as volunteers for the Beach Patrol and the Citizens Defense Corps. Eventually, The Breakers became the Reams Army Hospital. The Coast Guard took over the 600-room Biltmore Hotel as a training school for 2,000 SPARS, an adjunct

women’s military organization. In between tennis matches and golf rounds, residents patrolled the beach and drove ambulances. On Christmas Eve, the Everglades Club opened its doors to all servicemen, attracting several thousand for caroling and punch.

Kennedy’s election as president of the United States turned Palm Beach into a daily international dateline. It was also the golden time of Slim Aarons’ photos of Palm Beach society, of casual poolside elegance, carefree entertaining, the good life catalogued.

50 s & 60s Postwar

70 s & Beyond The New Palm Beach

In 1941, Worth Avenue was once again in the world’s spotlight when the Duke and Duchess of Windsor arrived for a stay at the Everglades Club. With many of their friends living on Palm Beach, the Duke and Duchess would become seasonal regulars for the next 30 years.

Worth Avenue and Palm Beach became centers of fashion and wealth, a tradition of couture that continues today. This also marked the end of the Eisenhower era, and the gradual beginning of the Kennedy one;

64

These decades marked further growth of Worth Avenue, including the addition of the Esplanade, a modern shopping promenade anchored by Saks Fifth Avenue, with 40 specialty shops. Later, in 1997, Neiman Marcus announced plans for a department store across from the Esplanade that opened in 2000. The profile of Palm Beach’s main shopping district was ratcheted up by the addition of luxury department stores. This was also the heyday of Lilly Pulitzer’s signature prints, a company she had launched in

1959 but that became hugely popular from the 1960s to the 1980s, when it was worn by people like Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and her daughter Caroline Kennedy and members of the Rockefeller, Vanderbilt and Whitney families; after Jackie was featured in Life wearing one of Lilly’s shifts, the brand went airborne. As South Florida became increasingly developed, Palm Beach has become even more exclusive (and expensive). In 2023, Redfin reported the median sales price for a Palm Beach house at more than $2.1 million. Designer Tommy Hilfiger flipped a historic Palm Beach house for $41.4 million four months after he bought it for $36.9 million. This year, one real estate site reported “a steady stream of deals of $50+ million closed, including a $170 million oceanfront estate.”The island is now one of the most sought-after havens for the top millipercent and continues to attract celebrities, royalty, newsmakers and the uber-rich.

The Faces of Historic Palm Beach HENRY FLAGLER

Henry Flagler

Henry Flagler was a powerful industrialist and founder of Standard Oil who also started the Florida East Coast Railway to open up Florida for development. After he built a magnificent resort hotel in St. Augustine, he began extending the railway south to what is now West Palm Beach and Palm Beach, breaking ground on the Royal Poinciana Hotel in 1893. He would go on to build The Breakers and Whitehall, among other Palm Beach institutions.

Today, Flagler is regarded as the founding father of Palm Beach.

Rose, Joe and Jacqueline Kennedy

MARJORIE MERRIWEATHER POST

Marjorie Merriweather Post was the General Foods heiress (once married to E.F. Hutton) who reigned as Palm Beach’s society queen in the 1920s and 1930s. She and Hutton built the lavish estate Mar-a-Lago in the late 1920s, which later became a private club and is today the private residence of former President Trump.

ADDISON MIZNER

COURTESY HISTORICAL SOCIETY OF PALM BEACH COUNTY

Marjorie Merriweather Post

The exotic Mediterranean architecture common to parts of Worth Avenue and Palm Beach can be traced to Addison Mizner, an eccentric architect ca. 1918 who found his way to the nascent Palm Beach, teamed up with sewing machine heir Paris Singer and designed his own version of paradise. His first project was the Everglades Club, followed by the extravagant oceanfront estate El Mirasol (The Sunflower), home of Philadelphia stock market titan Edward T. Stotesbury and his wife, Eva, Palm Beach’s first family of society at the time. In 1925 and 1926 he created Via Mizner and Via Parigi, two of the Avenue’s most charming courtyards.

Worth Avenue: The Center of it All

orth Avenue is the retail and social heartbeat of Palm Beach, an avenue made for strolling, shopping, peoplewatching, and lunches in a courtyard. Here are a few ways to experience it.

GO HERE FOR THIS:

1. Renato’s terrace is incomparable for romantic dining.

2. Glam sunnies are a trademark in Palm Beach; check out Morgenthal-Frederics Palm Beach for starters.

Classic Gucci

3. Only on Worth Avenue would you find

5. Gucci never stopped having its moment

Luxxoptica—a family-owned business that restores original World War II antique “Big Eye” binoculars and makes its own optical instruments. So step up that bird-watching or oceangazing with a luxury instrument with a style all its own.

4. Thank-you notes and

personal correspondence may be on the decline out there in Americana, but not here, on Palm Beach. Visit Il Papiro for fine stationery, writing journals and desk accessories, all distinguished by fine Florentine craftsmanship.

Luxxoptica

66

SPARKLE

on Palm Beach; this season, the archival horsebit motif is big on envelope bags— but it never stopped being big here.

6. Palm Beach Facials has a 24-carat gold Signature Palm Beach Facial.

7. Window shopping on Worth Avenue can get very bright; check out Graff for bigger-isbetter diamonds—but wear your sunglasses.

8. DEA Linens will make a bed you can’t get out of.

9. Marley’s Palm Beach Collection is a de rigueur stop for a fresh take on Palm Beach style—effortless, easy and classic.

10. Mariko is

still where you go for over-the-top costume jewelry.

The Avenue, as Worth Avenue is called, has a wide array of international names in jewelry, from Richters to Tiffany to Hamilton and Greenleaf & Crosby by Betteridge and Van Cleef—and many more. There is a reason there are so many jewelry stores; this is where people go to frost themselves. Which includes even the younger set, where Tiffany’s collections are always a big draw. Reportedly the Tiffany “Lock” collection is the current must-have accessory—following the popular “Tiffany T,” “Hardwear” and “Tiffany Knot” collections.

Only in Palm Beach

The Palm Beach lifestyle is part small-town: sand-dusted knees, kids riding bikes, the illusion of a 1960s sitcom. But the looming backdrop of a Georgian mansion tends to alter the vibe, and it becomes clear that, as Fitzgerald famously said, “Let me tell you about the very rich. They are different from you and me.”

HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW: PREFERRED ADDRESS: There’s no bad address in Palm Beach, but oceanfront is primo, naturally.

“Double Gray Scrambles” by Frank Stella from The Surovek Gallery

Worth Avenue Fun Finds Shopping is at the heart of the Worth Avenue experience. Here are a few don’t-miss places to put a little retail fun in your day.

FINE ART

The Avenue has highly respected (and accessible) art galleries for a little inspiration between shopping. Don’t miss Surovek Gallery’s trove of great American art, from classics like Thomas Hart Benton and William Glackens or Rosenbaum Contemporary’s postwar and modern and contemporary art, including Calder, Botero and Haring.

LILLY PULITZER STUBBS & WOOTTON

Another Palm Beach staple, these embroidered slippers for men and women can be customized any way you like. The hardest part here is trying to leave the store without three pairs!

AERIN

This fresh, curated luxury collection of gifts, home décor, beauty and fashion is the poster child for the new Palm Beach—courtesy of its founder, Aerin Lauder. Classic but “always with a modern point of view,” Aerin offers a young yet refined Palm Beach viewpoint.

VINEYARD VINES

Preppy isn’t dead; it’s just reimagined with a looser style and more contemporary feel, with a nod to comfort and a burst of energy. The whole family can update itself at Vineyard Vines.

No store says Palm Beach more clearly than Lilly, who started it all around 1959 when the then-socialite made a few shifts to disguise the juice stains she’d get at the citrus stand she ran.

(Her husband owned citrus groves.)

A fashion icon was born, and the flagship store on Worth Avenue is its own homage to that story; don’t miss it!

SCHOOLS: Palm Beach Day Academy, Rosarian Academy or Discovery Dayschool (Miss Porter’s and Exeter later on) MOST COVETED CLUB MEMBERSHIP: The Everglades Club is still Palm Beach’s most exclusive private club, but the Bath & Tennis Club (B&T) is where most families hang out. For men only, Coconuts (famous for its annual Coconuts Ball) is the golden ticket.

WEDDING RECEPTION VENUE: The Venetian Ballroom at The Breakers; for the second marriage, the Gold Room. And if you are one of the anointed: The Orange Garden at the Everglades Club.

RESTAURANT RESERVATION: There are a slew of New York French restaurants that now have outposts in Palm Beach, and rumors that Thomas Keller may be coming to the old Ta-boo location. But we still like HMF at The Breakers to spot who’s who in town.

PLACES TO TAKE THE KIDS

■ Playgrounds, fields and tennis courts are

all at the Town of Palm Beach’s Seaview Recreation Center. (340 Seaview Ave., 561/8385485) ■ The beach at Phipps Ocean Park features grassy shade, picnic facilities and a playground, all on the Atlantic Ocean. (2145 S. Ocean Blvd., 561/585-9203) ■ The Palm Beach County History Museum is housed in the restored 1916 Courthouse in downtown West Palm Beach. Exhibitions feature county history, along with profiles of the people and events that made the area. (300 N. Dixie Highway, 561/832-4164)

Poolside at The Colony

Brunch has never been bigger, and it’s all over the island, where you can indulge in several ways—all sublime. We love Café Boulud at the Brazilian Court (everything from paté to a Cuban sandwich) or a Bellini and more at the Four Seasons Florie’s. Swifty’s Pool at the Colony is another don’t-miss Palm Beach icon, and Bice is still the see-and-be-seen Worth Avenue staple.

BEACH DAY

Nothing says “island” better than a day on the beach swimming, snorkeling and windsurfing in the aquamarine ocean at the foot of Worth Avenue. And for lunchtime you can towel off, shower, jump into your clothes and wander up Worth Avenue and snag a casual lunch at Pizza Al Fresco (14 Via Mizner), or Cafe Delamar (Via DeMario, 326 Peruvian Ave., 561/659-3174). And for ice cream?

Piccolo Gelato is a sure thing (66 Via Mizner, 561/814-5966).

LIMO TOURS

Take a walking, driving or biking tour of the island with your own private guide through Leslie Diver’s Island Living Tours (561/8687944; islandlivingpb.com). Driving tours range from 90 minutes to 2.5 hours and include a walk through the vias on Worth Avenue. Biking tours (bikes not included—you can rent them at the Palm Beach Bicycle Trail Shop) are 90 minutes each, and are a great way to ogle the Island’s grand landmarked estates designed by the “Fab Four” of esteemed Palm Beach architects: Addison Mizner, Marion Sims Wyeth, John Volk and Maurice Fatio.

WALKING TOUR

Every Wednesday between December and April, the Worth Avenue Association presents hour-long walking tours of the Avenue with historian Rick Rose. These lively tours explore the origins and character of Worth Avenue, its unique architecture, the historical significance of many of its legendary landmarks and some of its famous residents.

Worth Preserving

The Preservation Foundation of Palm Beach has been a vigilant protector of the town’s architectural and cultural heritage for more than 40 years.

he Preservation Foundation of Palm Beach (PFPB) is honored this year as the Worth Avenue Association’s Community Partner of Choice. Founded in 1980 to support the town’s burgeoning historic preservation movement, the fruits of the PFPB’s tireless advocacy can be observed along just about every street of the town, from the pristine preservation of architectural cornerstones to beautified public spaces. Despite historic development in South Florida, the PFPB has maintained an influential and authoritative voice in ensuring the preservation of Palm Beach’s beauty.

“There hasn’t been a level of development in Palm Beach that erases or undermines that unique sense of place that you get in visiting here,” says PFPB President and CEO Amanda Skier. “No matter what time of year it is … we are always here, and we’re always paying attention to what’s happening.”

Beyond its advocacy, the PFPB also avails its vast archive and resources (cost-free) for projects within the community and works to educate the next generation of stewards. “We want people to just appreciate the history of the area and understand that Palm Beach has a unique sense of place, and the built environment that surrounds us is a big part of that,” says Skier.

The history of Palm Beach is inextricable from its architecture. Skier says the Worth Avenue area was originally developed as a small slice of Europe after the devastation to the region caused by the First World War, which left popular Mediterranean vacation destinations unfit for travel. In response, architect Addison Mizner and developer Paris Singer brought the Mediterranean to Florida by creating the buildings and scen-

ery that are now emblematic of the town’s culture and heritage. Through advocacy and education, the PFPB has helped protect the most beloved aspects of Palm Beach while redeveloping spaces that enhance the town’s natural beauty while still paying respect to its history.

“That’s what preservation is about; it’s about the management of change,” says Skier. “How do we keep the things that we hold dear and protect them while also allowing change that enhances and respects the things that make Palm Beach special?” An example of one such project is Pan’s Garden, Florida’s first all-native botanical garden, developed on what was originally a parking lot.

The Foundation’s latest town-serving project is the redevelopment of Phipps Ocean Park, which will break ground in June 2024 and is estimated to be completed in June 2025. The PFPB will be “restoring the ecosystem that originally existed on the island when the pioneers first arrived,” says Skier, with the goal of the project to “marry the architectural heritage with the botanical heritage of the island.” The PFPB’s selection as Community Partner of Choice arrives at an exciting time, as the organization recently released its first children’s book, Addison Mizner, Visionary Architect, which shares the story of the town’s pioneering builder.

For Skier and the PFPB, being selected as the beneficiary of this year’s walking tours as the Worth Avenue Association’s Community Partner of Choice is a great honor. “We are thrilled,” says Skier. “We understand and certainly celebrate Worth Avenue in so much of what we do.”
