Sarasota is a shopper's dream holiday. Although it's mostly overshadowed by St. Armand's Circle's huge assortment of upscale shops, the city's picturesque Main Street offers a Rockwellian assortment of charming shops and boutiques. On the first Friday of each month the boutiques stay open late, and shoppers browse while checking out live performances on the street. For trendier art galleries and shops, try the blocks around Palm Avenue and Pineapple Avenue.
