Palm Desert Travel Guide

 Basaic Says:  In the El Paseo Shopping District is a nicely landscaped area called "The Gardens". Palm Desert, and various organizations, sponsor open air concerts and other fund-raising events here. When I visited they were having a concert with some food booths collecting money for a... 

 Basaic Says:  The Palm Desert Civic Center Park is a nice art park with a lagoon, beautiful landscaping, and a number of very nice statues. "Dancer" is by the Civic Center; my favorite is the fisherman (photo 3) but I also like the "dreamer". The park is connected to the civic center and... 

 Basaic Says:  This old truck is probably effective as an advertisement because it sure is eye-catching. Interesting that the antique truck is advertising elder care. This truck was spotted in the El Paseo Shopping District. 

 Basaic Says:  The Bob Hope Cultural Center & McCallum Theatre presents a wide variety of concerts, Broadway shows and other entertainment. One of the shows coming up (unfortunately after I was leaving) was "Rock of Ages". 

 Basaic Says:  I am not always a fan of modern architecture; too often it has little ascetic value. This attractive building is the local library and is run jointly by the city of Palm Desert and the College of the Desert. This is a nice place to relax out of the summer heat, check your... 

 Basaic Says:  A good place to start your tour of Palm Desert is the Visitors Center in the El Paseo part of town. The center has friendly personnel that can help you select brochures, maps and other types of information to help you plan your visit to maximize your enjoyment based on your... 

 Basaic Says:  Pacifica is my choice for seafood in Pam Desert. It has a nice balcony to sit on and watch the people on El Paseo and has a bit less formal an atmosphere than Sullivan's. Food and service is very good. They also have 142 Vodkas from 22 countries at their "Vodka Bar". Lake... 

 nyc10025 Says:  Set in a contemporary building Omri and Boni provides a comfortable setting, excellent service and great food. O & B offers creatively sauced food particularly very fresh fish and grilled meats (which you can see being prepared in their open kitchen. It was the best... 

 Agraichen Says:  Somewhat "off" the mainstream in a supermarket mall that had McDonald's as the "entre" restaurant, Locanda Toscana was recommended by the Concierge of the J.W. Marriott in Palm Desert as a "must see." I was not disappointed, and I asked to be "fit in" as a diner on New... 

 Agraichen Says:  A local favorite that I'd eaten at before in Palm Springs but didn't recall the name. The second restaurant in Palm Desert didn't disappoint either. Casual elegance is the operative word with very efficient and doting wait staff.LG's was the ONLY CA steakhouse to be rated in... 

 Robachu1 Says:  It was 9pm on a Saturday night and we had just finished a full day of sightseeing in the hot desert. Needless to say we were very hungry and not in the mood for dressing up and going out. Lakeview at the JW Marriott Palm Desert was just the thing. The had a very good buffet... 

 Yaqui Says:  Over 300 world-class shops, clothing boutiques, art galleries, jewelers, restaurants and much, more...all lined along a beautifully maintained picture-postcard floral and statue-filled mile! Known as the Rodeo Drive of the Desert, El Paseo boasts a wide spectrum of stores...
