La Jolla’s Secret Sandwich Spot

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.

Artful Cuisine at the Museum Cafe

“Whacky” is not a word usually used to describe La Jolla, but since the arrival of 40 artfully-painted full-size bovines – it’s the perfect descriptor. The colorful fiberglass cows are on display throughout the village and they make me – and a lot of other people – smile as we go about our business. The […]

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 […]
