Since Stephie has been coming to Palm Springs since she was a child, the recommendations for food and activities are a bit endless. There are many other spots not listed on this page that are awesome as well. Let Yelp be your guide!
The Tropicale Palm Springs
330 East Amado Road, Palm Springs, CA 92262
A nostalgic spot for both the Kays and Wilkins at this point! Has great Palm Springs vibes, with great cocktails and atmosphere. Reservations are recommended!
Birba
622 North Palm Canyon Drive, Palm Springs, CA 92262
A great brunch, lunch or dinner spot in a cozy, outdoor setting. Reservations also recommended!
Del Rey
1620 S Indian Trail, Palm Springs, CA 92264
A great tapas style dinner spot, located in a dreamy hotel. Walking distance from the Ace!
The Tonga Hut
254 North Palm Canyon Drive, Palm Springs, CA 92262
This is an awesome spot to grab a drink and great food in a more casual setting.
Sherman's Deli & Bakery
401 East Tahquitz Canyon Way, Palm Springs, CA 92262
Sherman's is the Jewish deli of your dreams. While the food here is classic and great, the desserts are really what it's all about. Always our first stop on the way into town.
Chef Tanya's Kitchen
706 South Eugene Road, Palm Springs, CA 92264
For our vegan friends (and everyone else...) this is a stop you'll want to make for lunch.
Tac/Quila
415 North Palm Canyon Drive, Palm Springs, CA 92262
Great tacos, great margs, Michelin rated, can't go wrong!
Monsoon Indian Cuisine
555 South Sunrise Way, Palm Springs, CA 92264
A long-time favorite of Stephie's family. Great spot for takeout.
The Ritz-Carlton, Rancho Mirage
68900 Frank Sinatra Drive, Rancho Mirage, CA 92270
This is our favorite spot to grab a sunset drink and take photos. One of the very best views of the desert. Enter the hotel and walk all the way to the back exit to the lawn, you will not be disappointed :)
Palm Springs Art Museum
101 North Museum Drive, Palm Springs, CA 92262
This is an amazing museum if you find yourself with some time to kill. Stephie has been here many times with her Grandma and Bapa.
Palm Springs Aerial Tramway
1 Tramway Road, Palm Springs, CA 92262
This is a really fun trip up into the mountains of Palm Springs. There is food, hiking and plenty of sight seeing at the top.
Area Hiking
There are lots of hikes for all levels in Palm Springs, many of which are close to town. Our favorite loop is the Goat Trails loop, near the Bogert Trail.
