March Madness, Palm Springs Style

Mad Hatter: Have I gone mad? Alice: I’m afraid so. You’re entirely bonkers. But I’ll tell you a secret. All the best people are.  ― Tim Burton If you’re not into sports and you’re still looking for madness, we’ve got you covered 365 days a year — even more so this March. There is SO […]

A Tasty Trip Down Tahquitz

August: Summer’s Last Stand

“In August most of Europe goes on holiday.” ―Tony Visconti In Palm Springs, just like Europe, many local shops/restaurants close, and take a vacation. That doesn’t mean we roll up the streets and close the blinds – we’re not a ghost town by any stretch of the imagination. We’re still mostly open, and have a […]

First! What’s New In Palm Springs

Although Palm Springs always maintains her mid-mod aesthetic, she is in constant metamorphosis. Some local haunts are like the stars in the sky, they have been around since “5Eva because 4ever is too short.” (IYKYK!) Melvyn’s at the Ingleside Inn, Les Vallauris (now operated by SoHo House), the original Las Casuelas — they’re not going […]

And Just Like That It’s Thanksgiving In Palm Springs

Summer is over, and cooler temps are playing coy. We’ve got days in the 90s and evenings in the 60s, with a strong forecast of holidays. That came fast, right? If you need to get out of town for Thanksgiving this year, there’s no greater place to do that than in Palm Springs. The weather […]

‘Tis Season in Palm Springs: November Events

October was fabulous, but it was just the opening act to what we call “season” in Palm Springs. Not “the season,” just “season.” Batman knows. November days are sunny but not too hot, and the nights are cool, but not cold. Not only is it great hiking weather, it is also excellent pool weather — […]
