If you like the heat, Palm Springs is the perfect weekend getaway. The day may be spent by the pool, but as the sun starts to set, the temperature drops just a bit and, if you are lucky, a warm breeze starts to blow. It's nice to sit outside for a bite to eat and a drink. Located in the front of the Hyatt Hotel in Palm Springs, HooDoo is that spot. Grab a seat in the shade, watch the people walk by on Palm Canyon Drive, listen to live music (on Saturday nights) and enjoy the open air. HooDoo at the Hyatt Palm Springs We started with a few drinks, like the Palm Springs Hibiscus Cooler (silver tequila, hibiscus liqueur, cucumber soda, cucumber garnish), the Golden State Fig (lemon vodka, ginger liqueur, orange juice, fig preserves, saffron bitters, soda water) and the White Sangria. The drinks are made with fresh ingredients and are on the sweet side. Our favorite was the non-alcoholic Cool as a Cucumber (lemonade, cucumber soda and mint) which is perfectly refreshing on a hot day.
While in Palm Desert for work, I asked my friend who lives there where to get breakfast before my drive back to Los Angeles. I heard her say, in passing, "I always stop for a flight of bacon when I am at the Palm Springs theater." I stopped her and asked, "a flight of bacon? Tell me more!" The next morning as I was about to head back to the city, I took a little detour to go through Palm Springs to pick up my breakfast. Open everyday, except Tuesday, Cheeky's is a popular spot on North Palm Canyon Drive that serves breakfast all day (8am - 2pm). Cheeky's Palm Springs
Workshop Kitchen + Bar Walking into Workshop Kitchen + Bar, you might think you were in New York or Chicago or LA. But, it's in Palm Springs. This industrial chic restaurant made of concrete, high ceilings and long hanging lights sets a different tone for what you might think of Palm Springs - the home of spring breakers, a mecca for retirement and a weekend escape from the city.
