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. My husband and I both love frozen yogurt and, while Froglander’s on Pearl Street has been our perennial favorite, a newcomer in La Jolla Shores is giving them some tough competition. Yogurt Escape, tucked among […]
Warwick’s Books, La Jolla
La Jolla is known for its beaches, great restaurants, and variety of shopping options. In fact, it’s these features that draw most visitors to our community and make it one of San Diego’s most popular places. However, in addition to seals and sand, we also offer a wide range of cultural activities. These include performing arts, […]

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) […]

San Diego Food Finds includes restaurant profiles for great places to eat all over San Diego County. Some of my favorites are: Fidel’s (Mexican) […]
Update on Sorella della Taverna
I wrote about La Taverna and its sister property Sorella della Taverna in August 2008. The former is a cute little Italian bistro on a side street in the village. Sorella is a gourmet deli that provides take-away meals and delicious picnic fare. I’m happy to report that both businesses are still going strong, and […]
News Flash – Jack’s Closes
Jack’s La Jolla, the darling of the local dining and nightlife scene, suddenly closed its doors yesterday. “The economy isn’t the only factor,” according to owner Bill Berkley. (My guess is that the economy is only a very small part of the decision to shut down. Cash poor restaurants don’t close in the height of […]
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 […]
Roppongi Restaurant & Sushi Bar
“The best deal in town.” That’s how a friend described the happy hour menu at La Jolla’s Roppongi Restaurant & Sushi Bar – so of course I had to go and check it out. And sure enough, my beloved Chinese pot stickers filled with shrimp and scallops and served with Tobiko caviar sauce, normally $14.95, […]
