Imagine building a 3,000-square-foot home with just ONE bedroom… because you love entertaining, but don’t want overnight guests!

Welcome to Sackley Sensation, a spectacular example of Palm Springs mid-century modern architecture designed by Stanley Sackley in the late 1960s.

Originally built for Earl and Marie Liever, this extraordinary home is full of architectural surprises, from soaring 12-foot ceilings and walls of glass to lush gardens and a stunning poolside retreat.

Sackley designed 22 homes in the Canyon Country Club neighborhood (now Indian Canyons), making it the largest concentration of his work in the desert.

A special thank-you to homeowners Terry Daniels and Don Huneke for preserving this remarkable piece of architectural history, and to the Palm Springs Preservation Foundation for helping celebrate the stories behind these incredible homes.

Visiting Palm Springs for Modernism Week? This is exactly why our desert is an architectural treasure

Boomerang for Modern is a North Palm Springs destination for lovers of mid-century design, with furniture, original art, and timeless pieces dating from the mid-1940s through the ’70s.

Owner David Skelley has been doing this for more than 40 years, carefully curating pieces that aren’t just beautiful—they have stories.

If mid-century is your thing, this place is absolutely worth exploring.

What’s behind this mysterious door in downtown Indio? 👀

Welcome to Italica, where speakeasy vibes meet incredible Italian cuisine!

We brought 18 of our Taste Buds for a private dining experience, complete with beautiful dishes, outstanding service, and a little friendly competition.

From crispy fried artichokes to a brand-new Chilean sea bass, the menu had plenty of surprises. But it was the Bolognese that stole the show, earning the title of overall favorite!

With downtown Indio experiencing an exciting revival, Italica is one more reason to come explore, support local, and discover something delicious.

Ocotillo Lodge is going back to 1957.

As this Palm Springs landmark approaches its 70th anniversary, the historic Candlewood Room is getting a remarkable restoration—bringing back elements of the original vision by architect William Krisel.

Original cinder block has been exposed. Terrazzo hidden beneath two layers of tile has been uncovered and restored. Period-inspired lighting, new carpeting and a refurbished bar are bringing the room back to its midcentury roots—with more original elements still to come.

The Candlewood Room is also available for private events, giving this historic space a new chapter.

Want to see it for yourself? Mod with a Twist is coming to Ocotillo Lodge during Modernism Week, with proceeds supporting continued restoration of the property.

We brought 18 Taste Buds to Low Desert Modern Mexican for a 10-course tasting, and the votes were tight. From their hearty tortilla soup to the dish that took #1 overall, here’s what our Taste Buds say you should order.

Bonus: there are plenty of vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options, too.

Les Filles Cafe is giving the sandwich a serious wardrobe upgrade. 🥐

Paola and Candice are introducing their new Haute Couture Pastries & Sandwiches — savory creations made with flaky French puff pastry that are almost too pretty to eat.

They’ve also added three new salads with Italian and French inspiration, plus new desserts including a pistachio affogato and Haute Couture Pastries layered with cream and fresh fruit.

French technique. Italian inspiration. And proof that lunch doesn’t have to be boring.

Because at Les Filles, even your sandwich is better dressed than you are.

Bird has officially landed in South Palm Springs. ☕️

Located right next door to Mr. Lyons, this new neighborhood café from F10 Hospitality is serving Onyx Coffee Lab, breakfast and pastries from 6am–3pm, seven days a week.

And that pet-friendly patio with a view of the San Jacinto Mountains might be reason enough to stay awhile.

This is only phase one. Owner Steen tells us evening hours are coming before the end of the year, with w**e, b**r, dinners, private events—and eventually pizza by the slice and whole pies.

📍 211 E. Palm Canyon Dr., Suite C, Palm Springs, CA 92264

Welcome to the neighborhood, Bird. 🐦

Lola’s at the Cove brought some serious competition to the table. 🌴

We took 16 Taste Buds to Old Town La Quinta and put the menu to a vote — from gorgeous shish*to peppers and crispy Brussels sprouts to a show-stopping paella.

But the Brazilian steak skewers with chimichurri took the win for mains and were voted our overall favorite dish of the night. 🏆

And dessert? The caramel-filled churros with vanilla bean ice cream won by a landslide.

For 14 years, Dorina has filled this tiny market with foods from Romania, Serbia, Bosnia, Hungary, Ukraine, Russia, Bulgaria, Germany and beyond — including things her customers sometimes haven’t tasted since they left home.

But what stayed with us most wasn’t what was on the shelves.

Dorina told us that when someone in her community is struggling and can’t afford what they need, sometimes she simply gives it to them.

Because to her, they’re not just customers. They’re her community.

So if you’ve been looking for a taste of home — or you just want to discover something you’ve never tried before — go meet Dorina. And if she doesn’t carry what you’re looking for, ask her. She’ll try to find it for you.

📍 4556 E Camino Parocela,
Palm Springs, CA 92264

Sometimes supporting local means making sure places like this are still here when someone needs a little piece of home.
