Palm Springs Restaurant Week

From June 3-12, 2011, close to 80 area restaurants, almost half of which are located in Palm Springs alone, will be providing a culinary celebration and offering three course menus at a fixed price of either $24 or $36 per person (tax, beverage and gratuity not included).
