Park Avenue’s seemingly endless charm, while clichéd, is its accessibility to just about anything your weekend calls for. Street performers make music under the awnings, a sweet snack or frosty beverage is never more than a few steps away, people-watching is premium and it’s not difficult to while away a lazy Sunday at a bistro table. It’s a distinctly European vibe, which isn’t easy to find in Orlando (in all fairness, Winter Park is an incorporated town of its own), so make one trip to this strip and you’ll see why the sidewalk overflows on weekends with blissful, latte-sipping loiterers.
