Couples looking for a romantic dinner for two or singles looking to engage in a group mastication session will be pleasantly surprised by the range and variety of Palm Springs restaurants of a high dining quality.

Le Vallauris is one five star French option… Le Vallauris is often referred to as the finest restaurant in Palm Springs, and the possessor of a “extraordinary to perfection” rating by Zagat.

The Falls Steakhouse and Martini Bar will suit those looking for something rather more meaty and substantial.  This contemporary American steakhouse features dry aged mid-western beef, the freshest of seafood and world class martinis.  All in a dark-panneled, mahogany type setting sure to start any Dinah Shore Weekend party evening off right.

The Ace Hotel’s restaurant — King’s Highway — is a great choice for ladies in the mood for a more casual dining experience.   Head over to this increasingly popular spot and enjoy some causal American hipster fare in a converted Howard Johnson dining room.  The prices are affordable but the food is delicious, locally sources and well-prepared.

Stay tuned for more restaurant recommendations as the Dinah Shore weekend draws closer.  In the meantime, you might want to search around for a date to take out to eat before the parties start later in the evening.  Might we suggest the Cupid Network?

Not for nothing, but the Wine Down Winery in Chino Hills is an excellent place for a quick tasting (within legal reason .  It’s a beautiful, very small winery, that allows you to see the entire operation in 15 minutes.  It’s a great place to pick up a case of wine for your party weekend as well.

There’s a great place to overindulge a bit, if you’re able to make a quick detour, called Dowling Fruit Orchard with an incredible selection of fresh and dried fruits that are not only a great, healthy snack (remember you’ll need your stamina), but priced well.  Fresh fruit makes a great quick snack if you find yourself stuck in the room for a few hours and just need a quick bite.

A lot of couples go to Dinah Shore Weekend together to enjoy each other and to enjoy other people, so expect it before you get there, and there will be less of an abrupt surprise when someone wants to dance with your significant other.  If you’re looking for a one night “date” with a single, you find it there, but you can also find couples that are looking for another couple to enjoy the company of for a night.

Romance is at the heart of Dinah Shore Weekend but it’s all wrapped up and presented in the beautiful lure of attractive women ready to date, party, fall in love, have sex, and do it all over again the next day.  Be quick to get phone numbers, but don’t bring your phone out of your room because you’ll probably destroy it when you’re dragged into the swimming pool for a quick makeout session with a swinging single or a swapping couple.

So come prepared to enjoy each other, and enjoy others, or at the very least enjoy watching other, meeting new friends, and be happy if someone is attracted to your partner.

This is a tough one because there are so many parties going on at different hotels, resorts, motels, etc.  Some parties are guest exclusive, meaning you can only get in if you’re a guest of the hotel having the party, or a guest (date >:) of a hotel guest.

Here’s a quick list the best hotels to stay at based on the parties going on in them, and a link to discounted rates on those hotels!

1) Riviera Resort and Spa - Offers great, huge, pool parties where girls are known to frequent wearing nothing but string bikini bottoms.  This hotel is usually booked by mid-January… There’s always a great DJ to go along with the pool party too.

Each year Dinah Shore Weekends bring thousands of lesbians from around the globe to one centralized area for fun, for love, and for friendships.

A lot of people attend Dinah Shore Weekend with a friend or within a group of friends. The security of knowing a person or more is usually enough to help even the shyest goer come out of her shell and meet many new friends, and even find love…or at least love for the weekend.

If you’re looking for a Dinah Shore Weekend friend, good chances you’ll be able to find one at PinkCupid, or Chemistry that’s also looking for some support at this big weekend event.

Avoid meeting people on Facebook, MySpace, or Craigslist, as there are absolutely no checks in place on those platforms, but at PinkCupid and Chemistry, you can find people that have put their credit card on file…that shows a certain amount of seriousness. The kind that seems like the person would be less likely to stand you up. It’s a bit harder to use a fake name when your account is tied to your credit card.

Be safe, as always. Nothing is full proof. Protect your heart and yourself. Don’t put all of your stock into one person going. Remember, it’s just a bit of support…but it can go a long way.
