Antique Row is where West Palm Beach’s stylish side shines. With over 40 antique shops and art galleries, it’s a treasure hunter’s paradise. Even if you’re not looking to redecorate, the window shopping alone is a blast. From mid-century modern gems to coastal cottage chic, it’s all here — and it’s way cooler than another trip to the mall. - Sip Craft Cocktails in a Hidden Speakeasy 🍸
West Palm Beach has a surprisingly vibrant nightlife scene, and hidden gems like The Blind Monk or Rhythm Café are proof. Step into these cozy, low-lit lounges and discover some of the city’s best cocktails made with fresh, local ingredients. It’s the perfect way to wind down after a day in the sun — classy, cozy, and totally unforgettable. - Tour the Historic Northwood Village 🖼️Charming, artsy, and full of flavor, Northwood Village is the definition of a local hidden gem. This up-and-coming neighborhood offers unique boutiques, eclectic art galleries, and vibrant murals around every corner.
