We want to highlight The Joslyn Center in Palm Desert. For over 40 years, this center has been a hub for seniors looking to stay connected, active, and healthy.

They offer everything from fitness classes and tech help to the Joslyn Wellness Center, which provides counseling and support groups specifically for older adults. It’s not just a place for classes; it's a place where meaningful friendships are built over coffee and shared hobbies.

If you're looking for a welcoming space to spend your mornings or want to volunteer to help with their Meals on Wheels program, the Joslyn Center is the heart of the community.

Reader Pick: Sherman’s Deli & Bakery, Palm Springs & Palm Desert

You can't talk about desert dining without mentioning Sherman’s. This NYC-style deli is famous for its massive sandwiches and even bigger dessert case.

What to order: The hot pastrami on rye is the gold standard here, but make sure you leave room for a slice of their famous chocolate cake. It’s the perfect spot for a casual lunch that feels like a celebration.
