The Rodeo Drive of the Desert

If you want to shop at designer stores, this is the only place to do it in the desert. There is a big indoor shopping mall right across Highway 111, but they don't have the really nice stores like El Paseo. This is the desert version of Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills. It's very nice and I like going here. Update Sep 2009, a few stores closed here because of the week economy.

If You are a Leather Daddy or Like Leather Daddies

If you are a leather daddy, this is your place in Palm Springs. Also, if you are into leather daddies, try it here. If you are in your 30s like me, and you walk out to that back patio area at night, get ready to get groped! I'm not saying that I minded though.

Great Gay Coffee House

Koffi is way better than Starbucks. Great atmosphere and great coffee. And now there is a second location on East Palm Canyon.

Good Sightseeing at Lunch

I live in the area and I like to bring out-of-town visitors here for lunch. Good food and great sightseeing when you sit outside on Palm Canyon. Never been here for dinner, but it looks overpriced.

Really the Best Chinese

This is a nice place with good service and really good food. Plus I've always liked the name.

Delicious Food, Romantic Evening

I live in the area, and I took an out-of-town visitor to Shame on the Moon for a special romantic dinner. My friends told me to eat in the Garden Room, which we did. The atmosphere was private and romantic and sexy. Our waiter was gay, which was a big plus to us. The food was excellent - well prepared and delicious. Entree prices were in the $20s. I would definitely recommend Shame on the Moon for a nice romantic evening.

Burgers and Atmosphere are Great!

The burgers are great here. That's all I've ever tried. The atmosphere is fun and the service is fine. Most of the customers are gay, of course.

Fun! But Dumpy!

I'm a local guy and I've been here quite a few times on day passes. The action can be lots of fun, particularly during special events. I stayed over one night, and I have to say that the room I had was pretty dumpy! The employees seemed aloof, actually bordering on giving attitude, which is the reason for my mediocre rating. The outdoor action was hot, however.

A Little too Quiet for Me

The architectural style is interesting. My room was clean, and so were the grounds. This is probably a good choice for more mature travelers, but it was just too quiet for me.
