East Coast Deli with West Coast Style Sherman’s Deli and Bakery is a true culinary landmark in Palm Springs and Palm Desert. Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, this Kosher-style family restaurant has been the “meeting place” for locals, vacationers and celebrities for over a half a century.

Sherman Harris came to the desert in 1953 to visit a friend at Lawry’s Steak Ranch. He fell in love with the area, stayed on to manage the ranch and realized his true calling when he opened Sherman’s Deli and Bakery.

A true family restaurant, it is now run by his son Sam and daughter Janet.

Sherman may not be with us anymore, but his presence is felt every day in every way. Sam and Janet remember bussing tables and waiting on tables and listening to their father’s frequent reminders to “treat every one who came through the doors as though they were a guest in your home”. He loved his customers and his community and they loved him back. Sherman’s loyalty and dedication to customer service is as evident today as it was then, carried out by Sam and Janet in the same caring manner as always.

STEPHEN BAUMBACH LANDSCAPE AND PORTRAITURE PHOTOGRAPHER

67

Bl.

For over 40 years, Stephen Baumbach has pursued the thing that has captivated him since High School…the art of photography. He has taught in classrooms, workshops and been exhibited in numerous shows nationwide. His images range in scope from rodeos to national and international architectural icons. Now settled in Palm Springs, CA since October 2014, his eye is on the surrounding desert…the o˜ -the-grid and outlier areas…that yield an extraordinary beauty he captures with his artists’ eye and his trusty Canon. All his photographs are produced digitally and he personally ÿ nishes each print himself.

His love of the desert has him exploring the surrounding areas including the Anza Borrego, Algodones Dunes and Slab City

ART GALLERIES among others. He plans his sojourns through the use of satellite and weather maps, looking for the areas that will yield the treasures and hues he is aiming for…the browns, reds, blues, pinks and yellows, which reveal themselves at di˜ erent times of day or night. He refers to some of the images he shoots as the “Eighth Wonders of the World” and there are many who would agree with him. Stephen’s work is broken up into series, which currently include the Anza Borrego desert and Kemuri, which is a study in smoke. His works may be views at www.stephenbaumbach photography.com. 1750 E. Arenas Road - Suite 25 Palm Springs, CA 92262. 617.510.7459
