Frank Sinatra may have sung odes to New York, but the crooner called the Palm Springs area home for much of his life. Now fans can visit or drive by the places the Chairman of the Board dined, lived in and hung out. Sites include the Twin Palms Estate that he shared with actress Ava Gardner; Riccio's, one of his favorite restaurants; and St. Louis Catholic Church, where he worshiped.

To get a list, e-mail Mark Graves of the Palm Springs Desert Resort visitors bureau, at mgraves@palmspringsusa.com.

Where am I?

The French built this place before the Americans took it over. There are a couple of big lakes next door.
