Shopping in Hollywood

Founded in 1977 by lovers of snow, surf, and street, BC Surf & Sport dispenses apparel, equipment, and accessories for board-riders of all types. The shop is filled with racks of long boards in dozens of colors and designs, plus surfboards and paddleboards, and various wheels, waxes, and other sundries. The outfitters also stock a wide variety of shirts, shoes, and wetsuits along with miscellaneous items such as headphones, stickers, and DVDs of famous waves crashing.

Armed with certification from the United States Cycling Federation, the bike mechanics at Atlantic Bicycle keep two-wheeled roadsters running safely and efficiently with maintenance services and help customers to select new bikes or gear. The experienced crew can perform basic services such as tuning up bicycles for warm-weather riding or more complex work such as fitting wheels with hand-laced custom wheels built onsite. The shop also keeps an extensive inventory of bicycles to meet needs ranging from everyday commutes to grocery-store-aisle wheelies, including all-mountain, urban, and recumbent styles as well as adult tricycles.

Though they now sit under illuminated display cases, Unique Eyewear’s chic sunglasses and frames are never far removed from the fashion runways of designers such as Prada, Ralph Lauren, Gucci, and Burberry. Guests in need of sharper vision or style can hand over a prescription to the store's staffers, who then order and swiftly slip single-vision, bifocal, and progressive lenses into stylish frames. They take precise measurements to ensure a snug fit and further personalize glasses with protective coatings, coloring, or etchings of your unique DNA strand.

At Bloom Nursery, owner Diego Scort and his staff of green thumbs nurture the tender blossoms and lush foliage of their palms, shrubs, and budding vines. They strive to help customers gussy up their gardens with organically and locally grown plants, as well as those that have been adapted to thrive in South Florida's climate. In addition to sending visitors off with flourishing florae, the staffers also equip gardeners with materials, supplies, and tips necessary to keep plants from sprouting rampant weeds or eloping with tumbleweeds just passing through town.

Dr. Bita Sabripour's medical colleagues turn to her when they have blurry vision. Whether it's because of her training at two of the world's premier eye centers, the Wilmer Eye Institute at Johns Hopkins and Bascom Palmer Eye Institute in Miami, or because her office is completely free of solar eclipses, medical professionals recognize the high-quality care one receives at her vision center. From basic exams to postoperative eye care, Dr. Sabripour and her support staff help patients through every step of their ophthalmologic journeys. This support extends to outfitting clients with frames and contact lenses.
