Palm Beach: The Original American Riviera
Overview:
Palm Beach is like that affluent relative who’s from out east, wears knit sweaters during the fall and flamboyant pastels during the spring. She has a worldly outlook on life, a witty sense of humor, and an elegance that's unmatched. A snowbird who flocked down south to Florida, she now sells high-end real estate during the week. While on her days off, she spends sipping on cocktails after a couple of rounds of tennis at the country club. Her social life is dominated by dinner parties and charity events where Palm Beach’s elite and socialites converge on one island. This may not be the best description of the Palm Beach of today, however, this is how I sometimes view Miami’s aristocratic sister to the north. So this begs the question, what is the identity of Palm Beach today? Is this island paradise still an old-world refuge for the glamorous or is there something for everyone beyond the exclusivity?
