Guidebook for Palm Springs
Food Scene
Hot new restaurant, very close to our house at the brand new Arrive Hotel. This gastropub has a huge selection of beers and drinks. Their food is delicious and greasy and (for the most part) tends to be a little spicy. The servings are big, so go hungry. I was disappointed by the chicken pot pie -- it was more flaky crust, than delicious filling -- but everything else we got was amazing.

Best Deli in Palm Springs. There are a couple of them in the valley, but this is the original. Wonderful staff, good hardy deli food, and amazing pastries, cakes and desserts. You can't go wrong here. Bagels & lox are classic. Pastrami sandwich is a must.

Go here in summer and find tons of bachelorette parties. There are private rooms for you and your friends, as well as big open dining areas, a nice (quietter) outdoor dining area, and a partying bar scene.

This is a popular spot. So here's a tip: skip the crowds and see a movie up the street. After the movie, come here for their half off appetizers late night menu. There's a good selection of options and it's one of the few restaurants in Palm Springs that are open late.

If Ruben & Ozzy's is too crowded, this is a good fallback option. It's decent thai food. Nothing amazing, but good when you're hungry and don't want to wait.

We love this place because it's so dog friendly and the food is good. And although it's one of the more popular restaurants in Palm Springs, it's usually easy to get a seat. The decor is fun and pop-y. Everything's pretty good.

Some of the best Mexican food in the valley. It's a tourist hot spot, so sometimes it's hard to get a table. But here are a few tips:
small groups almost always getting seated quickly.
When they tell you it'll be 20 minutes to get a seat, it's usually half that, so stay close to the restaurant.
Don't feel like waiting? sit in the bar area where there's a full service menu and waiters, but know that the service can be a little slower here. So order some drinks and relax.
Want live music? Sit on the south end of the restaurant (the big outdoor area). Want something a little quieter? Ask for the opposite side (to the right of the entrance).

The restaurant at the Parker Hotel is a must! But know that it's not cheap. What it is is comfortable, casual, Southern California, young, hip, luxury. The food is perfect. The hotel is beautiful, but fun and eclectic. Get your photo taken in front of the big iconic orange door when you arrive. And take a walk around the seemingly endless outdoor area. Just be careful, you might get lost. The way it's landscaped creates almost a maze of smaller areas.

Yes, I'm recommending a Subway. Why? Palm Springs restaurants close early and this place is close to our house and open 24 hours.

Entertainment & Activities
I've never done this, but always drive by it on my way in and out of town. It looks like so much fun. There's a course on a hillside and it looks like people of all ages can get their freewheeling off road fun here.

Palm Springs loves its big, bright doors. If ours isn't enough for you, take a door tour. Start with this famous one and make your way through this neighborhood to find the most fun and beautiful homes with front doors to match.
(And just two doors down, find the home that we modeled our front entrance after)

Shopping
The Rodeo Drive of the Coachella Valley. This strip is beautiful and has every luxury brand you'd want. For a surprising treat, eat at Tommy Bahama's — yes, the clothing brand — there's a restaurant on the top floor with great views.
