The Golfers Ultimate Weekend in Palm Springs

Description:

The Palm Springs Pavilion Theater has been a favorite for performers in Palm Springs as well as visiting spectators for quite some time now. This large theater, with seating for 1,000, offers every standard amenity that the conscious theater-goer would expect including the extremely important and efficient air conditioning for those hot summer performances. It is situated directly across from the Palm Springs Art Museum for easy access after a day at the museum. During performances, the close proximity to downtown makes this spot a favorite after-dinner location for all those romantic couples.

With moderate prices and a sophisticated atmosphere, this restaurant is a destination in itself, but also has become a favorite for those planning a post-dinner visit to Muriel's nightclub across the street. The dark, intimate atmosphere is particularly welcoming to couples, who also enjoy the patio tables. There is a full bar and a wine list with many by-the-glass selections. The mesquite-grilled Shrimp Pancetta with Coachella Valley Citrus Sauce is a marvel. In addition, the steaks are all excellent and the desserts are decadent.

Our Local Expert Says:

This street can get very busy and very crowded during the middle of the day. There are lots of great shops and restaurants; if you come early you can find street parking and you will have a days worth of shopping ahead of you. If you visit later in the day it is easier to find parking off the main street just a short walk away.

Description:

This mile-long avenue in Palm Desert is often called "The Rodeo Drive of the Desert," comparing it to the renowned upscale shopping district of Beverly Hills. Art galleries, fine furnishings, couture clothing and restaurants make this tree-shaded avenue ideal for strolling and browsing. There are some bargains to be found, especially in the upscale chain stores at The Gardens on El Paseo, but most of the clientele here do not need to check the price tags. However, everyone can enjoy the free contemporary outdoor sculpture exhibits presented on the landscaped meridian.

From the moment you enter this special gallery, you are surrounded by the finest in glass art. In fact, even the doorway is a glass sculpture by Ian Moyer, and the ceiling is a desert skyscape by Gene Peebles. The items available for purchase are no less splendid, from Gavin Heath's bud vases in bold primary to Bandhu S. Dunham's fantasy goblets. Everything is selected by the unerring eye of owner Dario Jones. It is a great place to find a new heirloom or dramatic focal piece for a room.

Most pubs rely on the drinks to pay the bills, and food comes as an afterthought. Not so at the Village Pub, where the menu is extensive, international and delicious. There is a selection of three dozen different salads, each with its own special dressing. Salads range from a simple side salad to the Acapulco Breeze: vegetables and cilantro in a jalapeno salsa. Burgers come in several varieties. Specialties include curries, Pork Medallions with real Roquefort cheese and Lamb Casserole Dijonnaise. There is live music and dancing seven nights a week
