Palm Springs EATS

Palm Springs, also known as "the desert," surprisingly has a few pretty good restaurants to eat at. Three fabulous ones that stood out to me were walking distance from the cute, modern hotel called Alcazar which I stayed at.

I was told that Tyler's has the best burgers ever! They also had the best chicken salad sandwich ever! It came with a berry jam that is to-die-for!

Tyler's cheese burger slider - only $3 - the beef is delivered fresh daily from an organic farm nearby

Birba, a cute, dim-light, fancy pizzeria was right downstairs of the hotel. The burrata plate was amazing & came with an eggplant tapenade spread.

cheesy breadcrumb goodness stuffed artichoke 

prosciutto pizza

berry tart with vanilla ice cream

Cheeky's, also right downstairs of the hotel had amazing morning drinks - bloody mary in a boot glass & different flavors of mimosas (mango & tangerine)

from L to R - truffle hash browns, bacon flight, cheese scramble, cheese biscuit, maple sausage, orange waffles

bacon flight consisted of 5 different flavors of bacon, such as apple, maple, & jalapeno

swan oyster depot

Swan Oyster Depot is known for their daily variety of fresh seafood from lobster, scallops, and even live uni! WHAT WHAT! The hole-in-the-wall is made up of one long countertop that can fit about 20-25 guests, showcasing in the window all of their seafood for the day. The line is always long and if you go on a Saturday, the wait is probably atleast an hour, but it is definitely worth it! You are allowed to have a drink (or bottle for that matter) while standing in line. The staff is all super friendly. Hurry - GO!

door to heaven

fresh clam chowder - you could literally taste the clam juices

sicilian sashimi - salmon, scallops, and hamachi with olive oil, capers, onions, & cracked pepper

combination seafood salad with dungenous crab, large & small shrimp - served with a louie dressing

3 different kinds of oysters (they have a lot more to choose from!)

Caribbean Crown Princess cruise food!

Here are some of my favs & unique foods from Miami to Fort Lauderdale, Florida to the Caribbean Crown Princess cruise:

This is in Miami, Florida @ Puerto Sagua - oxtail stew, black beans, plantains, & rice

empanadas in Miami

Cuban sandwich

on Miss Crown Princess - bangers & mash, an English lunch

I had a cheese plate everyday on board!

and we had this pretty much everyday for breakfast too - lox, cream cheese bagel

conch in Roatan, Honduras - texture super chewy, made with garlic/butter sauce

most unique/weird thing eaten - WILD IGUANA - made pulled/shredded style & didn't have much taste since iguanas are vegetarians

Thanksgiving lobster dinner on board

veal with mushrooms, gravy, & truffle mash at Sabastini's on board

more cheese!

mixed plate - locals eat stewed chicken in Belize, really good!
