Worth Avenue, sometimes referred to as the Rodeo Drive of Florida, is an upscale shopping district in Palm Beach, Florida, in the United States. The street stretches four blocks from Lake Worth to the Atlantic Ocean. Worth Avenue also includes smaller alleyways known as Vias off the main avenue. These pedestrian areas distinguish Worth Avenue from other shopping experiences.

“A swarm of bees in May
Is worth a load of hay;
A swarm of bees in June
Is worth a silver spoon;
A swarm of bees in July
Is not worth a fly.”
—Unknown. A Swarm of bees in May (l. 1–6)
“Only in America ... do these peasants, our mothers, get their hair dyed platinum at the age of sixty, and walk up and down Collins Avenue in Florida in pedalpushers and mink stoles—and with opinions on every subject under the sun. It isn’t their fault they were given a gift like speech—look, if cows could talk, they would say things just as idiotic.”
—Philip Roth (b. 1933)
