"Another candidate for best lunch Palm Springs: Sherman’s Deli boasts top awards and rave reviews for their New-York style offerings. Founded by a World War II veteran who settled in Palm Springs in the early 1950’s, Sherman’s restaurant heritage is now being carried on by his children. Their signature lunch is the Beef n’ Latkes, which features corned beef or pastrami between two potato latkes."

"Not far from the iconic Palm Springs Tennis Club where many of the rich and famous once swung a racket, the Palm Springs Art Museum could be considered an anchor among the lovely historic neighborhoods. Previously named Palm Springs Desert Museum, it has a distinguished 80-year history, though its board didn’t approve the addition of a fine art collection until 1967. The collection has since grown to include over 12,000 objects such as architectural pieces, Indigenous art, modern and contemporary works, and Western American art."

"Get creative with your summer stay and head on over to the Palm Springs Art Museum this season. Experience a variety of modern and contemporary art pieces, stimulating exhibitions, as well as Native American works and more during your time at the Downtown Palm Springs location. Visit on Thursdays to receive free admission from 4 to 8 p.m., or stop by during the second Sunday of the month for free admission as well."

"Located in the Uptown Design District, you could easily mistake Eight4Nine for an art gallery, but it is, in fact, a restaurant. And a good one at that. The menu is wide-ranging, with everything from cheese plates to poke bowls to chicken Milanese, but just know you can’t really order wrong here."

"They have plenty of space inside, no one likes to be hot and eating a meal. The food portions are…”more"

"A hybrid between luxury rental and boutique hotel, this three-part property started with the renovation of a four-unit prototype pad designed and built in 1947 by modernist architect John Lautner. It was developed as part of a planned Desert Hot Springs housing community the brainchild of director Lucien Hubbard, whose silent film Wings won the first Academy Award for Best Picture. When 
plans fell apart and Hubbard died, the place was left to crumble."

"Situated in the Coachella Valley in Palm Springs, the Tahquitz Canyon is not only striking to view but also steeped in legend. It has been continually inhabited for a minimum of two thousand years by members of the Native American Cahuilla tribe. Over recent years, wildlife has been brought back to the area and many people now head over to enjoy taking in the surroundings, exploring the history, and for the great hiking trails."

"Plan for an early morning hike and picnic at the legendary Tahquitz Canyon in Palm Springs, one of the several sites the indigenous Cahuilla people once inhabited in the region. While in the canyon, you’ll experience intriguing rock art, ancient irrigation systems, native wildlife and plants, as well as a spectacular seasonal 60-foot waterfall at the end of your trip. You may become tempted to take the waters, so come prepared!"

"Revel Public House is part eatery, part pub, and part gathering place. Open from breakfast until late night, it’s the neighborhood joint you’ve been waiting for with an all-day happy hour — featuring draft craft beers, sangria, and an impressive bourbon selection — with a tapas menu that includes spicy lime-drizzled shrimp skewers and sliders piled high with bacon, beef, and chorizo. For dinner, Revel serves up a Killer Mac & Cheese, burgers, and a variety of pizzas."

"Everything comes full circle — even in the restaurant business. In 1975, Reed Gardner (Billy) and Robbie Lemley opened Billy Reed’s Restaurant & Bakery, highlighting the award-winning recipes from Billy’s grandmother, who taught him how to bake. In 1987, retirement called and the two leased the restaurant for 25 years to a new owner, while retaining ownership of the property."

"A wonderful place with a great bar and a broad ranging menu of excellent food. If it's not on Billy Reeds menu, you don,t need to eat it."

"In addition to their huge menu of sandwiches, Sherman’s also offers up a big selection of breakfast menu items including omelettes, lox and cream cheese, and even salami and eggs. Plus, you can always get a sandwich in the morning – since Guy Fieri made them look so good when he made a stop into the place for Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives. Sherman’s Deli and Bakery, 73161 Country Club Drive, Palm Desert, (760) 568-1350"
