Food Scene
Mediterranean Food.
New spot in Palm Springs (they also have a location in Palm Desert). The portions are huge, but the decor is boho chic. The bar is nice to sit and have a snack.
The hotel this restaurant is located in has a cute Tiki Bar in the back, check it out if you want a nightcap.

Light Italian Faire / Brick Oven Pizzas
Locals hangout that seems to get more of a food-savvy touristy crowd now, and bachelorette parties. This is our favorite spot - get the TriColore Salad and a pizza. Great for sharing!

Our favorite brunch restaurant. Amazing 270 degree views of the mountains, lovely architecture. It's situated on the Escena Golf Course, but a lot of locals go there (non-golfers). Food is reasonably priced and pretty good. We go for the views.

Entertainment & Activities
Best Golf Course in Palm Springs (proper).
Public Course.
The South Course is nicer and more challenging than the North Course. Indian Canyons Golf Resort has been the jewel of Palm Springs since 1961 (South Course was only recently built). Once a private club named Canyon Country Club, this was a favorite haunt of Hollywood celebrities like Frank Sinatra, Bob Hope, and Jackie Gleason. Former U.S. Presidents Dwight D. Eisenhower, Lyndon B. Johnson and Ronald Reagan also walked these fairways.
If you golf the North Course - check out the locker room. Men's locker room has original lockers for Sinatra, Walt Disney and a few other greats.

Parks & Nature
(Park at the end of Farrell Road, walk along the levy, it's public access, dip into the wash-basin to the mountain, you see the trails on the mountain and horseback riders).
My husband and I do a loop that starts at the levy, walk the wash, to Earl Henderson, up to Shannon Trail (where you can see Bob Hope's Estate Home from an amazing side-view). Turn west at Berns Trail to Garstin Trail (again, keep going West on Garstin). You end up at the wash and can catch back up with the end of Earl Henderson Trail....walk back east on Earl Henderson Trail. Amazing views, STEEP hike but worth it. You may spot some bighorn sheep up there. Probably 5 miles round trip.

Best views of Bob Hope's Estate, John Lautner Masterpiece.
Park at Southridge Rd & East Palm Canyon, pull into the parking lot immediately on your right. Trailhead is ACROSS the street from the parking lot. Meander on the trail past a mobile home park and condos, then back where the large homes on Southridge Drive are. Hike is a 800 ft altitude climb - from the trailhead to Bob Hope's Estate is about 1.5 miles. There's a more extensive trail system once you are back there if you want a longer or more intense workout.

The Kaufmann House was designed by architect Richard Neutra in 1946.
It was one of the last large-commission domestic projects designed by Richard Neutra, but it is also arguably one of his most architecturally noteworthy and famous homes. The home was commissioned by Edgar J. Kaufmann, Sr., a Pittsburgh department store tycoon as a desert retreat from harsh winters, and was built in 1946. A decade earlier, Kaufmann commissioned Frank Lloyd Wright to build Fallingwater in Pennsylvania.
After Kaufmann died in 1955, the house stood vacant for several years. It then had a series of owners, including singer Barry Manilow and a San Diego Chargers Owner.
