I wonder if there is a programmatic way in Cocoa to get the list of
"Places" from the left panel of Finder? (by default populated with
Documents, Desktop, Home, Application, but can be customized with drag
and drop). Thanks!

There's no public API, unfortunately. You could try scraping Finder's preferences file (this info must be stored somewhere, most likely as serialised AliasHandles), or manipulating its GUI via the Accessibility APIs/GUI Scripting. Both would be hacks, however, and prone to breakage, so YMMV.
