Food Scene

They have an amazing breakfast. It is definitely one of the best in the area, and people wait in line on the weekends. The special German pancakes are delicious, and unlike anything you have likely ever seen.

Wang's is a hidden treasure with amazing food, a small bar, and live music on weekends outside. This is a popular spot, and the walnut shrimp is worth writing home about.

Coming from Austin, I am hard to please when it comes to Mexican food, but Las Casuelas delivers. I would have to say that this is more of a Tex-Mex restaurant, in terms of their combination plates, but they have a large menu with a lot of other options as well. The margaritas are on point, and they have live music most nights of the week. They are located on Palm Canyon Drive, in the heart of downtown.

This strip-mall-located Italian restaurant really delivers! The caprese salad, fettucine alredo, chicken parmesan, and pizza are all absolutely delicious. I have yet to try more than that, but intend to go back often as I really enjoyed what they served so far. The service has also been impeccable on the nights we have visited.

They have great pizza, ideal outdoor seating above the action on Palm Canyon Drive, and a nice selection of beverages. I would recommend this to both families and couples looking for a dining experience.

The food is excellent, the servers are very friendly, the cocktails are delicious, and the setting is worth the price of admission by itself. This is part of the Avalon hotel, and they offer valet parking. Street parking is ample if you choose not to valet.

This is a great place for food, drinks, and live music on the weekends. The peel and eat shrimp is served in buckets, they have delicious lobster bisque, and the fish tacos are the best in the area.

Sightseeing

The tram is an amazing way to get an aerial view of the Coachella Valley. The ride is relatively inexpensive, provides access to a bunch of hiking trails up top, along with a restaurant and bar, and is great for families or couples. It really should not be missed on a visit to Palm Springs.

This is one of those furniture stores that really should be reclassified as an art gallery featuring usable art. I have never fallen in love with so many pieces at the same time. Truly stunning, and worth the visit.
