My girlfriend and I go to Palm Springs about 4-5 times a year. I do recommend Haleiwa Joe's. Go early (around 5 pm) for the happy hour. Good deal on drinks and appetizers. The architecture of the place is amazing.

As for the rest of the Palm Springs area, when you get off of the 10 freeway onto Hwy. 111... once you hit commercial buildings, just pay attention. There are tons of MCM stores, thrift stores and consignment shops. You'll first hit the M Modern Gallery and a large MCM consignment store in the same center. All of the rest of the stores will be obvious, with lots of MCM furniture on display in windows and on the sidewalks.

You might also want to check out the Palm Springs Art Museum. Lot's of great modern art.

Of course stop by Caliente Tropics.. lots of tikis.

Also, just drive off the main drag and drive thru residential areas. Lots of great MCM architecture.

Hope this helps!
