Our Guide to Palm Springs
Dinner/Lunch Spots
Favorite restaurant in PS. Make a reservation for dinner before you get here...it is very popular. They don't take reservations for brunch, but if you get there early enough the wait shouldn't be too long.

Trendy sushi and killer cocktails. Sometimes they even have a DJ playing out back. One of the best restaurants but will also require a reservation in advance.

Coffee Spot
Awesome place to grab a cup of coffee and some baked goods. They also have an amazing courtyard in the back where the locals like to hang out. Definitely a spot to recover from the night before or sit out and read a book.

Breakfast/Brunch
As a former New Yorker, I take my bagels pretty seriously. For the west coast, this place is pretty good. The line is long and the service is slow but beggars can't be choosers right? They also make fresh bread which is delicious.

Neighborhoods
If you love midcentury modern architecture, you want to check out Old Las Palmas. We suggest taking the bike, but a car ride is good too.
