Where is La Jolla, California?
La Jolla is a community within the city of San Diego – located 12 miles from downtown. I started writing “La Jolla Travel Information” 3 years ago because I want visitors to get the most from the time they spend in my community. However, it recently occurred to me that while I was busy leading […]
Kind Words About La Jolla Travel Information
Elizabeth Hansen I write this blog because I really like La Jolla and I want visitors to have a good experience when they are here. For the most part, it’s a labor of love…so when someone notices and acknowledges my efforts, it really makes my day. “Need La Jolla Travel Information? Check out this ‘insider’s […]
“World’s Best” La Valencia Hotel
San Diego has some wonderful hotels, but none are better loved than La Valencia. “The Pink Lady” has been a landmark in La Jolla since 1926. For many years, I naively thought I was the only one whose heart skipped a beat at the sight of La Sala, where potted palms and traditional furnishings welcome […]

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) […]

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 […]
