Sur La Table

Sur La Table

Sur La Table La Jolla opened with great fanfare last summer and has won the hearts of local home cooks and foodies. They offer cooking classes focused on seasonal cuisine (“fantastic fall soups”) and are big on teaching techniques (“essential knife skills”) and international cuisines (‘tapas and paella”). I really appreciate that classes take place […]

Let me guess: When you planned your San Diego vacation, your list of things to do said “San Diego Zoo, SeaWorld, snorkel at La Jolla Cove, hit the beach, and hike in Torrey Pines State park.” However, our mild Southern California climate […]

La Jolla’s “Secret” Art Gallery

La Jolla’s “Secret” Art Gallery

Pricey galleries are easy to find in La Jolla’s main shopping area. Tourists wander in and out of the ones on Prospect Street and Girard Avenue, but I don’t see a lot of locals browsing in those stores. Which brings me to my point: the purpose of this blog is to see that travelers enjoy […]

Like other areas of San Diego, La Jolla has a plethora of stores – but there’s one very special place in our community that I’m afraid you might overlook: The St. James Gift Shop, located in La Jolla’s cultural district, under the bell tower of St. James by-the-Sea Episcopal Church, 743 Prospect Street (858-456-1105).

La Jolla’s Sweet Life

La Jolla’s Sweet Life

In addition to San Diego’s most beautiful beaches, La Jolla’s Sweet Life offers some of the city’s most delicious desserts.
