I Know a Place...

 

How many times has that knowing expression, from a friend or stranger, led you to places and people you might never have come across - and experiences you might never have had - had you been left entirely to your own devices...

 

Get to know Palm Springs...

 

...the Palm Springs for GrownUps...

 

Welcome... At Palm Springs Best Places Guide - now more commonly known as simply BestofPS.com - we've come to know pretty much all the Best Places to go do, see and/or find the Best of just about anything and everything in and around Palm Springs. The Plaza MercadoOur long-time local insider-based perspectives are largely free of any real commercialism because most of our sponsors are not even the types of businesses that we list, and if they are, they know the guidelines to ensure they stay listed...

Yes, there are other destination websites (a few really good ones in fact - and we list them here) - but most of the others ONLY list the places they could talk into paying to be there. This leaves their overall content sketchy, unqualified and not a representative sampling of the whole of what Palm Springs has to offer - and not hardly anything resembling the best of the best of Palm Springs! This is how BestofPS.com is different...Jaclyn's Flourish...

Our content is  Comprehensive, very thoughtfully Culled and painstakingly Current - and this is what brings virtual travelers to us time and again. We are also the ONLY local destination website that purposefully features the new, the small, often more adult-oriented, even sometimes somewhat alternative - always gay & lesbian friendly - and typically independently owned & operated mostlyTahquitz Canyon Way non-corporate places that we feel are a big part of what ultimately makes the overall Palm Springs experience so truly memorable and satisfying...

Make no mistake about it - there are plenty of perfectly good and acceptable respectable places in Palm Springs that aren't and might never be listed here - and we truly have nothing against any of them. It's just that in our view (and we have a view here) we think that "for our audience" there are only certain places we can recommend that we believe they'll appreciate and also meet the qualifying criteria we have chosen to embrace here...

In our view - to be among the Best of the Best of Palm Springs - a place should embody a preponderance of the following values, characteristics and qualities...

  • generate a genuinely positive & dynamic energy - or what some call chi...
  • occupy an inspired sensory-pleasing & comfortable physical space...
  • be run by friendly & knowledgeable owners, managers & staff...
  • chose to attract & embrace a genuinely diverse "chosen" clientele... 
  • utilize a website as a way to entice & communicate with their clientele...
  • provide quality products, services &/or an experience that represents a good & fair value for the money...
  • have established a solid reputation for delivering consistent quality...
  • offer a uniquely interpreted sense of the new Palm Springs style...

"The essence of education is not to transfer knowledge; it is to guide the learning process, to put responsibility for study into the students' own hands. It is not the piecemeal merchandising of information; it is the bestowal of keys that allow people to unlock the vault of knowledge on their own. It does not consist of pilfering the intellectual property amassed by others through no additional effort of one's own; it would rather place people on their own path of discovery and invention."
