window shopping

“Everybody is kind of in window-shopping behavior right now,” says Bre Clinton, an assistant manager for the Body Shop at Baybrook Mall.

One of New York’s best window-shopping weekends is back, as the four-day New York International Antiquarian Book Fair returns on Thursday to the Park Avenue Armory in Manhattan.

The most difficult reservation on Worth Avenue, the town’s luxe window-shopping strip, is Le Bilboquet, an outpost of the Upper East Side French-inspired bistro, which opened in Palm Beach in 2021.

Year-round and especially on weekends, visitors clog the narrow sidewalks on Main Street, window-shopping or queuing up for ice cream cones.
