Sure, summer in the desert is sizzling. But slow? Think again! Because the Rancho Mirage Restaurant Association, the Rancho Mirage Chamber of Commerce, and the City of Rancho Mirage have joined forces to kick off the inaugural inception of “Taste of Summer Rancho Mirage,” an event whereby our home town’s participating resorts and restaurants have…
It’s that time of year again! Greater Palm Springs Restaurant Week is coming to an eatery near you from June 3-12. Chefs from many desert cities will be dreaming up fantastic (and more than affordable) three-course meals priced at either $28, $38, or $48 per person.
Don’t let those other city names fool you! The Palm Springs Life event titled Palm Desert Food & Wine is well-connected to the City of Rancho Mirage.
