Tammy Fender, the renowned skincare expert and Palm Beach insider, has shared her ultimate guide to the city's hidden gems. With over two decades of experience in the area, Fender's recommendations offer a unique glimpse into the local hotspots that beauty industry executives should explore during their stay for the WWD Beauty CEO Summit.
Local Favorites
For a refreshing start to the day, Fender suggests a visit to Amici Market at 155 North County Road, where her go-to juice, "South Ocean," is a vibrant blend of pineapple, kale, baby spinach, lime, kiwi, and green apple. When it comes to sushi, Imoto at Buccan takes the spotlight, offering a delightful dining experience at 350 South County Road. And for those seeking an al fresco dining adventure, Pizza Al Fresco at 14 Via Mizner is the perfect choice.
Coffee and Strolls
Sant Ambroeus, located at 340 Royal Poinciana Way, is Fender's favorite spot for coffee or a quick lunch meeting. And for a leisurely stroll, the Ann Norton Sculpture Gardens at 235 Barcelona Road provide a peaceful escape. When it comes to fashion, Via Coquina at 32 Via Mizner is a must-visit for its stunning caftans and hats, while Lori Jayne Palm Beach at 301 South County Road is the go-to destination for personalized gifts.
Lunch and Accessories
The Hive, situated at 1603 South Dixie Highway in West Palm Beach, serves up Fender's favorite lunch option: the Avocado Green Bean Salad. For teenage fashion finds, Roller Rabbit at 340 Poinciana Way offers special edition Palm Beach PJ's that are sure to delight. And for accessories, Marissa Collections at 340 Royal Poinciana Way is a treasure trove of stylish pieces.
Wellness and Community
The Yoga Society, located at 225 Clematis Street in West Palm Beach, is Fender's top choice for yoga. And for a community-centric experience, the West Palm Beach GreenMarket, open on Saturdays until May 31st, offers a vibrant farmers market atmosphere at 101 S Clematis Street. Lastly, the Worth Avenue Vias provide a unique pedestrian experience, with hidden alleyways and courtyards inspired by Venetian Gothic, Moorish, and Spanish Renaissance styles, a true testament to Palm Beach's architectural heritage.
A Personal Perspective
As someone who has called Palm Beach home for over 25 years, I find it fascinating how these local hotspots offer a glimpse into the city's vibrant culture and community. From the fresh produce at the GreenMarket to the architectural influences on Worth Avenue, Palm Beach truly comes alive through these unique experiences. It's a reminder that sometimes the best discoveries are off the beaten path, and I encourage visitors to explore these hidden gems to truly immerse themselves in the local lifestyle.
