In a blog posted earlier this month, Zagat named nine “places to eat and drink in Palm Springs right now.”

Lesley Ballaname picked “new and classic standbys” that she hoped would come in handy during Coachella:

  • King’s Highway (at Ace Hotel)
  • Bar
  • Workshop Kitchen + Bar
  • Las Casuelas Terraza
  • Tinto (at Saguaro)
  • Norma’s and Mister Parker’s (at Parker Palm Springs)
  • Cheeky’s
  • Matchbox
  • Clementine Gourmet Market and Cafe*

* This is the only one on the list not actually in Palm Springs. It’s on El Paseo in Palm Desert.

It’s a good start — but I must admit I’m just a little glad most of my all-time favorites didn’t make the list.
