It is a more upscale and pricy area, so the shops reflect that for the most part. There are plenty of restaurants to eat at; Boca, Panera, BriarPatch, to name a few, there's a good variety! I love going to Spice and Tea for their selections of spices and an Iced Crème Brûlée Tea. There are also services like glasses and a Truist bank on Park Ave. plenty of services to choose from! Even a real estate agent office! There are shops for everyone! Kathmandu for Crystals and metaphysical goods. Achiest Olive for oils, vinegar and pantry items!

I really wanted to visit a Lilly Pulitzer store, and saw there was one located in Winter Park. I saw that there was other shopping options, and a Tiffany glass museum, so decided to spend my day here. I had no idea what a wonderful visit my day would turn out to be! There are wonderful places to eat, great shopping, a museum, and a park. I didn't have trouble finding parking, but I could see where it would be difficult on a busy day. I would highly recommend this area if you are in town visiting.

A large variety of dining, some shopping ( including an upscale furniture store that used to be a Borders book store) and a movie theater. I could make a whole trip out of just this shopping center. Coffee at Starbucks, go see a movie, window shopping, PF Cheng for dinner, cheesecake for dessert, then a movie. Not a bad date night idea either.

Love that it is here and there are quite a bit more stores in this section. Check it out. They also have weekly concerts which you can check out in their site.

5 Stars for a boutique on Park Ave where normal (see: no rich) people can actually shop!…read more I was leaving Briarpatch and had a little time to kill so I figured I'd do some aspirational browsing through a shop next door. Lucky for me, that shop was Forema and they have not succumbed to the Park Avenue tax (which only exists in my head and not with the state or city) so there were affordable options! There are plenty of racks of clothes and gifts but what called to me was the jewelry. Each piece was unique and there was something for everyone. Though it leans pretty boho chic, I imagine even the preppiest of sorority girls (Rollins) would find something to fawn over. I ended up buying a few necklaces, each priced at under $20, and a few tiny rings. Though the necklaces aren't real gold or silver, I see similar designs at stores nearby (and online) for ridiculously inflated prices. One necklace I wore even into the shower eventually lost its gold sheen and turned a dark silver, but I actually dig the look and am still happy with it. Overall, I'm thankful for a place on the avenue that caters to a broader economic audience at least.

I got some very comfortable Cole Haan loafers and a couple pairs of athletic shorts/skorts, plus a pair of jean shorts. They had some really cute pajamas as well, but I used self control and did not purchase them. I also love to shop here for toddler shoes for my son.
