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.

“The worth of a wife is a man’s good fortune;
His jewels are his good children.”

“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)
