PLACE

Cathedral City sits conveniently between Palm Springs and Rancho Mirage and has the second largest population of the nine Coachella Valley cities. Despite the general desert area being known as a vacation or second home locale, many of Cathedral City’s residents actually live there long term, giving it a true suburban feel. Conveniences are around every corner, so there is no shortage of places to grab a bite or a brew. A bit more culturally diverse than some neighboring cities, Cathedral City boasts a long list of exciting fast-casual food options. With everything from Salvadoran to Filipino eats available around town, you are sure to find something to prepare you for late nights at the casino or dancing in downtown Palm Springs. Cathedral City seemingly lays low on the Coachella Valley to-do list with limited nightlife and not as much glitz and glam as surrounding cities, but if a convenient and casual jumping off point is what you are looking for, you'll find it here.
