Pics/review?

I should have taken pics - especially of the way it was so meticulously packaged. As an example, I ordered a burger and it came with a huge burger plus sauteed onions in an aluminum tin. Then there was a warm sliced bun - individually wrapped in its own plastic. There was another container with sliced pickles and tomatoes. Two smaller containers with ketchup and mayo. And a tupperware with a fresh salad (dressing on the side.)

That was just my meal - my wife had a similar array of items with hers.

The Burger was excellent and I would highly recommend. The owner mentioned that the eventual goal is to open a sit-down place and I hope he does because even one kosher rest. in the area would make vacationing there much more enjoyable and relaxing.

Bring from LA. I wouldn't call it a schlep if you're landing in LAX, only if you were flying straight to PSP.

True, Ralphs has lots of kosher things, however LA has more. It just depends on what you're ok with or if you want something specific that you can only get in LA.

There are 5+ Hilton hotels in the Palm Springs area all going for the same 30,000 a night. Any ones that stand out or any to avoid?

Why is Airbnb not working? Just look for things near Chabad.

Anyone interested in this lovely 3BR house with walled-in private pool, hot tub, gas fire pit, indoor and outdoor eating in the beautiful oasis of Palm Springs available for this weekend?

It's a short walk to the awesome Chabad of PS.

Stopping in Palm Springs/Joshua Tree tomorrow. if there was one part of joshua tree and/or palm springs (other than coffee bean, we have that down) that you found worthwhile to stop at pls let me know (need to be in Scottsdale Sunday night, so have little time). dont think its worth it to do the full 2 hour drive through joshua tree, but unsure. also, is there no cell service for long stretches still?
