America’s poshest shopping centers are no longer just about retail therapy: north of Miami Beach, Bal Harbour Shops hosts art exhibitions, outdoor film screenings, and salsa performances. Look for lavish dinners at New York City’s Time Warner Center, where restaurants Landmarc, A Voce, and Bouchon Bakery are hosting themed menus (a recent hit: French Countryside, with tarte flambé and goose-fat fries). San Diego County’s Otay Ranch Town Center has a year-round farmers’ market and a dog park, complete with a drinking fountain for your pooch.
