If you are visiting South Florida this winter or you live here, consider spending a day at City Place in West Palm Beach. It is a lot of fun to take the the Tri-Rail train here from any spot in Dade, Broward or Palm Beach Counties. From my home town of Hollywood, the train takes about an hour, and it is a lot of fun. It costs $5 round trip per person, and you can walk to City Place from the West Palm Beach Train Station. It’s just a few blocks from there. If you go on a weekend, note that the train schedule is limited.
City Place is small, quaint shopping area with fabulous restaurants, an I-Max Theater, an historic theater, special events and excellent shopping. We hit all the after-Christmas sales. My favorite restaurant here is Il Bellagio. Great soups, salads, pasta and brick oven pizza. And you can sit outside next to the fountain and people watch. You’ll find most everyone to be ultra friendly here. And people come from all over the world to visit. If you do go shopping, remember that if you are taking the train, you may not want to buy heavy items to drag around. Most of the stores will ship for you if you prefer not to carry your purchases.
