GESCHAFTEN

Die Kunst des Einkaufsbummels. Der Duft von Waffeltüten und hausgemachtem Fudge liegt in der Luft. Bunte Schaufensterauslagen bieten große Auswahl - von feiner Seide bis hin zu funkigen Modehits. Sie werden bestimmt einen ganzen Tag brauchen, um all Ihre Mitbringsel zu besorgen. Erkunden Sie die Besonderheit des St. Armand's Circle, wo Luxusgeschäfte und kleine Boutiquen versammelt sind. Das Stadtzentrum von Sarasota bietet mit seiner Main Street das typische Bild einer amerikanischen Kleinstadt, während die Kunstgalerien auf der Palm Avenue mehr an New York und L. A. erinnern - Einkaufsvergnügen nur durch zwei Straßenblocks voneinander getrennt und doch Welten voneinander entfernt. Und die gute alte Zeit erwartet Sie wiederum hinter der nächsten Straßenecke, in der Pineapple Avenue. Hier liegen feine, erlesene Antiquitäten mit echtem 50er Jahre Floridakitsch im Wettstreit. Im etwas weiter südlich gelegenen Venice stehen Sie dann vor den Geschäften in einem der bestgeplanten Stadtzentren Amerikas. Und wenn Ihnen der Sinn eher nach Actionshopping steht, dann sollten Sie es auf keinen Fall verpassen, einmal in einer der beiden Outlet Malls, die Sonderangebote und Preisnachlässe auf Markenartikel und Designerwaren anbieten, vorbeizuschauen.
