Sherman’s Deli & Bakery . . . East Coast Deli with West Coast Style!

Janet Harris in their Palm Desert Sherman’s Deli

S

herman’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… and the apples didn’t fall far from the tree.

Sherman may not be with us anymore, but his presence is felt every day in every way. Sam and Janet remember bussing tables and

Key_Jan_2015.indd 8

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.

Desert Adventures – Celebrating 25 Years of Tourism Excellence! - Climb aboard the Big Red Jeeps for an unforgettable journey into the REAL desert. Desert Adventures exclusive San Andreas Fault Adventure takes you to a private 800+ acre preserve right on the San Andreas Fault where you will explore a lush natural palm oasis, tour a replica Cahuilla Village to learn about the culture and lifestyle of the Cahuilla Indians and witness extraordinary scenery as your jeep winds its way through the labyrinth of geological cuts and canyons of the San Andreas Fault Zone.

Desert Adventures also offers a fascinating jeep and hiking excursions to the magnificent Palm Springs Indian Canyons where native fan palms and more than 150 species of plants beckon travelers to the lush oases that were the ancient home of the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians.

If you prefer to travel in air-conditioned comfort, you can also choose from one of several tours in Desert Adventures eco-friendly CNG Van. Visit the stunning Joshua Tree National Park where you will spend a full three hours inside the park as you enjoy a short guided hike through Hidden Valley, visit the Desert Queen Mine and take in the spectacular views from the Key’s View Overlook. Other tours visit the windmills, Coachella Valley Preserve, Whitewater Preserve and other points of interest in the Coachella Valley. You can also hire a professional guide to take you on a customized sightseeing or hiking excursion in your car or Desert Adventures SUV.
