The local Palm Springs socialites and the emerging Gen-X elites welcomed Summer in Summer Whites.

Believe it or not, Citron at the Viceroy in Palm Springs is the place to go for savory brussel sprouts Beignets and Lemon Custard Beignets.  Party-goers feasted on them, along with the traditional salmon finger sandwiches.
