No, Palm Beach does not roll up its sidewalks in the summer. At least, not in front of the Colony Hotel, where the Royal Room will continue its cabaret series and the Polo Steakhouse goes Motown on weekends, through Labor Day.

Though you might be able to find on-street parking in the off-season, the island remains pricey year-round. Dinner and show prices range $95-$110 per person for the Royal's summer rotation. Shows are 8 p.m. with dinners from 6:45 p.m.

Among the attractions, Palm Beach County resident Avery Sommers (pictured) will be making her Royal Room debut on Fridays and Saturdays for three weekends, Aug. 1-16. Liz Callaway comes in for the coup de grace Aug. 22-30.

The summer begins with torch singer Maude Maggart May 23-31, Baby Jane Dexter June 6-14, Jeff Harner June 20-28, Eric Comstock and Barbara Fasano July 4-12, and Sheera Ben-David July 18-26, last year's Backstage Magazine Bistro Award winner.
