There's a good breakfast place on Tahquitz Canyon Road called Pinocchio's in the Desert...they serve a decent Bloody Mary the size of a fishbowl, and super cheap bottomless mimosas. Good food too!

Also, Elmer's in the other direction about 4 blocks from the Travel Lodge. That place has been there forever and I went there last year on Monday after the show with Big TikiDude and Crazy Al and they had some wicked german pancakes.

Completely agree with Atomic Tiki Punk on NYPD Pizza. At last year's Caliente, we saw people getting their pizza delivered and decided to order ourselves. On the phone the employee said that it would be an 1 hour to 2 hours for pizza delivery because they were busy. But, if we picked up the pizza it would be a lot faster. Ok, so we place the order with a 1/2hr time given for pizza pick-up. The following occurred at their restaurant:
- Our order wasn't even started yet when we got there. 45 minutes later it was done. This was after waiting the prescribed 1/2 hr wait for it to be ready. Also, with having other people who walked up, placed an order, and walked out with order in that time.
- Employee kept forgetting the name on the order. Sam? Carl? Pat?
- Employees didn't seem to care about what was happening.
- Pizza wasn't great at all. I should have just eaten the cardboard box instead.
When we drive by their I cringe, because it was such a pain in the a##.
On a trip out to Modernism Week our tour guide was giving a list of recommendations for eating out. When it came to pizza he recommended Matchbox. We tried that and the recommendation was well worth it!

Shermans great food. Just prepare for a wait, depending upon when you arrive. Because it is just that popular.

In Downtown Palm Springs I like LuLu's for breakfast. Only five minutes north (1.5 miles) at S. Palm Canyon & Arenas.
