La Jolla Shores vs. “the Village”

La Jolla Shores vs. “the Village”

In addition to dispensing La Jolla travel information via this blog, I also answer questions on TripAdvisor’s La Jolla Forum. It’s recently become apparent on this site that many visitors aren’t aware that what we locals call “the village” is not the same place as “the Shores.” La Jolla Shores vs. “the Village”…. The village […]

La Jolla Festival of the Arts – June 20-21

La Jolla Festival of the Arts – June 20-21

I just realized that in my last post I included the La Jolla Festival of the Arts in the Calendar of Events, but I didn’t point out that it’s this weekend – June 20-21 from 9am to 5pm. More than 200 artists will be exhibiting their work. Live music and a food court will add […]

La Taverna Restaurant

La Taverna Restaurant

La Jolla has lots of “destination restaurants” that serve good food – and sometimes a view – to out-of-towners. Then there are the places the locals patronize – like La Taverna Restaurant. These spots depend on return business and don’t have a vista to distract from any weaknesses. La Taverna is snuggled between a dry cleaners and a shoe repair […]

La Jolla Farmers’ Market

La Jolla Farmers’ Market

The La Jolla farmers’ market is a perfect example of a really cool thing that doesn’t get on the radar screen of most visitors. It’s held every Sunday from 9am – 1pm on the playground of La Jolla Elementary on “upper Girard.” That’s the part of our main drag that extends south of Pearl Street. […]
