Food + Drink is always a good place to start.
We begin at the corner of Palm Canyon and Tahquitz where you’ll find a large open-air plaza with plenty of public seating. Kick start your morning at Starbucks Reserve that sits right on the corner, within steps of everything on The Block. Not your typical Starbucks in either it’s décor, experience, or menus.
Across the plaza is Juniper Table at The Rowan serving thoughtfully sourced Southern California fare inspired by bold Mediterranean flavors. Juniper Table brings artful food and drink to Palm Springs. Nested between Starbucks and Juniper Table is Il Corso, where you’ll experience genuine Italian hospitality serving a wonderful variety of authentic Italian dishes, fresh salads, and homemade deserts.
Just North on Palm Canyon and Museum Way is the Tommy Bahama Marlin Bar. It is a relaxed refuge where you can unwind with a cocktail, light fare, and enjoy a large laid-back outdoor patio. Stroll up Museum Way and you’ll find Hause of Poke. What is Poke? It is a raw fish salad served as an appetizer in Hawaiian cuisine, and sometimes as an entree. Poké is the Hawaiian verb for “section” or “to slice or cut”. Here you build you own custom Poke in six easy steps.
