San Diego Restaurant Week Extended
I wrote about San Diego Restaurant Week in a previous post, but since then some (not all) of the 135 participants in this popular event have agreed to extend from September 23 to 28. That means you can enjoy prix fixe lunches and dinners at some of the city’s best restaurants at great prices for a while longer. During Restaurant […]
La Jolla’s Newest Ocean View Café
The terrace at Caroline’s Seaside Cafe on the SIO/UCSD campus is a breezy, ocean view spot for breakfast and lunch. Caroline’s is perched on a sandstone bluff and serves up a 180° blue-water panorama, as well as healthy, California-style meals. Some time ago, I wrote about “San Diego’s Best Beach Breakfast,” which described Snackropolis on […]
La Jolla’s Secret Sandwich Spot
The Sandwich Club is tucked away in the sunlit courtyard of the Merrill Lynch Building. A little lunch place in the courtyard of the Merrill Lynch Building (Fay at Silverado) is a perfect example of why I started this blog. I want visitors to San Diego’s favorite coastal community to wander off the beaten path and discover […]
La Jolla’s Best Gym
Most travelers today want to maintain their work-out routine while they’re on vacation. If this includes you, head to the La Jolla Sports Club in the village. It’s the best fitness club around – and I should know, I’ve tried them all. For many years I was a member of the La Jolla Family Y, but […]
San Diego’s Best Beach Breakfast
Author’s Note: Snackropolis closed when Caroline’s Seaside Cafe opened nearby. However, the picnic tables and ocean view remain – which maks this a great spot for brown baggers or smart folks who pick up sandwiches at the Cheese Shop on nearby Avenida de la Playa. Original post: Snackropolis, tucked away on the SIO campus in […]
Lunch with the best beach view
Visitors to San Diego frequently ask about “lunch with the best beach view,”and my answer flops around depending on if they want casual or special occasion, with kids or without. However, after experiencing lunch at The Shores Restaurant in the La Jolla Shores Hotel last week, I think it really is the best choice for the […]

Where NOT to eat in La Jolla
This won’t make me popular with a couple of local restaurateurs, but I have had two very disappointing meals in the village recently. Until they mend their ways (hire a new chef?), I suggest you avoid Bistro 101 and Alfonso’s – both restaurants are on Prospect Street. I don’t like reporting negative experiences, but the […]
Artful Cuisine at the Museum Cafe
One of the most popular lunch spots in the village, the Museum Cafe offers delicious salads (shrimp and papaya is my favorite), great soups (such as country vegetable), grilled items, and creative sandwiches. As the name suggests, the cafe is located at the La Jolla branch of the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego (MCASD) […]
