Time To Relax - Flaming Getaway

Living in L.A. can be a little overwhelming sometimes. My wondrous parents invited me and my girl-friends to Palm Springs for a weekend of repose, a necessary break from Hollywood parties and work.

We arrived Saturday morning and left Sunday afternoon. Our stay there consisted of lounging by the pool and sauntering up and down central Palm Springs taking in the beauty of the quaint little shops and invetibaly the heat.

A couple of interesting finds include:

Azul

This restaurant has two very distinctive characteristics: One, servings are tapas-inspired which gives you many options, and two, live entertainment consisting of the bandstand-like performance of old favorites! My two friends and I shared a couple of plates, while enjoying the music and chatting away. At Azul, the size of the plates are too big to actually be considered tapas but the food was very good. The tenderloin was fantastic!

The Village Pub

Now, this place is really interesting. The Village Pub has a little bit of everything: A rock band, dance floor, tables, 3 bars, smoking patio, lounge, pool tables and food. We had a couple of drinks and enjoyed the mixed crowd. The temperature had cooled off a bit and sitting in the patio was simply awesome!

*Side Note: It was 115 degrees, I've never felt so hot! If you're going to Palm Springs, this is not the best time to go... Unless of course you enjoy melting away!
