Paul Smith

SoHo

Fans love Paul Smith for his classic-with-a-twist clothes, and this vast, minimalist flagship is a temple to his design ethos and inspirations.

Paula Deen Store

The "First Lady of Southern Cooking" sells her wares at this shop on Congress Street. You can find some very Southern spices and sauces, such as a smokin' barbecue sauce, and salad dressings—like peach pecan and blueberry walnut—that are so sweet they could double as dessert toppings. Two full floors of Paula's own label of cooking goodies and gadgets are cleverly displayed against bare brick walls. The shop is adjacent to Deen's famous Southern-style restaurant, The Lady and Sons.

Pauwela Cannery Center

The industrial-looking building that housed a pineapple cannery from the 1920s until 1961 is now home to more than 40 local businesses that include art studios, health and beauty services, restaurants, tour operators, and more.

The Pavilion at Port Orange

Just off I–95 (Port Orange Exit), this outdoor shopping complex houses a 14-screen Regal Pavilion, numerous restaurants, and retailers like HomeGoods and ULTA beauty and cosmetics.

Pawnseum, Presidential Pawn, and The Clock Shop

Forget your preconceived notions about pawn shops before stepping into this three-in-one store, where the Pawnseum was born of a desire to display (and sell) one-of-a-kind items such as a Michael Jackson glove, JFK photos, and a piece of a 1960s space capsule. There's a little bit of everything on the walls and in the display cases of this family-owned, downtown facility.

Paws on Charles

Beacon Hill

If there is one constant in Beacon Hill, it's the number of dogs that live with residents of the neighborhood and are always walking along Charles Street or in the Common. This makes it only more fitting that there's a pet shop nearby, filled with dog food and treats, leashes, collars, and chew toys. Want to dress up the pooch? This place has you covered.

Paxton Gate

Here, science and biology mix with whimsy and imagination. You'll find everything from taxidermied scorpions and baby goats to ostrich eggs and ceramic chimes. It's a fascinating and strangely beguiling mix of goods, although not for the faint of heart.

Paxton Gate

Elevating gardening to an art, this serene shop offers beautiful vases, succulents, decorative garden items, and coffee-table books.

Here, teams from around the world are represented in a colorful array of club jerseys, including those of superstar Pelé, from both his time in Brazil and his time with the New York Cosmos.

Pendleton Home Store

At this flagship lifestyle store—the headquarters are in the same building—of the world-famous textile and furniture purveyor, you can browse the company's new products before they're available online or in Pendleton's other shops around the country. The company's classic camp blankets—many of them with patterns inspired by Native American weavings and U.S. national parks—are a huge draw, but you'll also find pillows, pet beds, hats, backpacks, totes, sweaters, and other apparel.
