Monday night was another major parking problem and my Fiance had to walk quite a way from the restaurant.
On Monday we went back to Little Italy for lunch and luckily we found a parking space a few blocks from where we ate. Sunday Night we luckily found a parking space close to our restaurant. We ended up going to Hillcrest but had the same problem, we eventually decided when we did find a parking space to just park and find the closest restaurant. We went on a Sunday and drove around so many times finally found parking but so far away my Fiance, who has bad knees, I advised him it was too far to walk to the restaurant after I did a practice walk from the car. So now not only do you have much less available parking it is also much more crowded because the restaurants are packed inside and now outside. Little Italy has very nice outdoor covered dining decks, which are built over many of the street parking spaces. Blackbook Bar strives to be inclusive to all-the opposite of the Blackbook investigations-hence why the word “Black” in their logo is backwards.ħ60.832.Little Italy is amazing and really should receive a 5 rating but unfortunately our experience with parking made our two recent visits a nightmare. Local Insight: Blackbook Bar ’s name was inspired by the Blackbook investigations into people who were excluded and not allowed into Las Vegas casinos. Order one of their crafty signature cocktails, and enjoy a cool evening with friends and loved ones on the patio. With room for all your friends and an inclusive and safe atmosphere, this hotspot is one that everyone will love. Try the Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich or the Palm Springs-Style Nachos, which come covered in two types of cheeses, tomato, jalapeño, sour cream, scallions, salsa roja and your choice of protein. Known for their delectable flavors, Blackbook is more than just a bar. Gray walls, marble countertops and black tiling create a clean and modern feel, yet the space still seems light and inviting. Sleek design meets delicious food at Blackbook Bar. Local Insight: For a refreshing drink order, Stacy’s VIP Express made with house-infused pineapple vodka! Stacy’s is not a dance club, although guests do sometimes sway and sing along to the music being performed-who can resist Sinatra’s “Fly Me to the Moon”? The bar is smaller, creating an intimate space to chat with friends or enjoy a night of great music. Smooth piano tunes and contemporary classics fill the welcoming space, and nightly entertainment sets the scene most nights. You’re going to find above-average people but not above-people people.”ħ60.778.4326 Gay Bars Palm Springs Stacy’s Palm Springs Credit: Maurício Mascaro / Pexelsįor those who like jazz music, good company and a sophisticated vibe, Stacy’s Palm Springs is the place for you.
