Snowbirds Fly Away,
As Locals Flock To Fifth For Brunch
Season is almost over, and Fifth Avenue South is so grateful to our snowbirds, who continue to support our businesses year after year. We also thank our year-round residents who keep the Avenue humming. If you’re looking to celebrate a special occasion or just want to chill on the weekend, now is the time to join other residents who are flocking to Fifth for brunch. Parking spaces are available; the crowds are gone; and a laid-back Saturday or Sunday brunch, whether casual or up-scale, may just hit the spot before the summer heat wave begins. Fifth Avenue South has much to offer.
