Looking for where the locals go in La Jolla for a great cup of coffee and to catch up on the comings and goings in La Jolla? Come visit one of my favorite places, The Pannikin. The Pannikin is on the upper end of Girard away from the trendy boutiques. But make no mistake, the Pannikin is THE hangout for La Jollans who want to see and be seen. There are wooden floors and an eclectic mixture of furnishings, cushy chairs, and even old wooden style theater chairs, probably taken from the old La Jolla "Cove" theater before it closed down years ago. There are cozy tables outside to enjoy our year round climate and did I mention great coffee? Come see for yourself!

If you have never been to a show at the La Jolla Playhouse, I encourage you to do so. Tobacco Road, the longest running Broadway show ever (December 1933 - May 1941) is playing at the La Jolla Playhouse from now through October 26th.

"Tobacco Road is no-holds-barred theater that fascinated 1930s audiences in part because it commented on their precarious depression era lifestyle in a provocative and surprising way," explained David Schweizer, Tobacco Road's Director. "Once again, now, it has intense contemporary relevance, in fact, it couldn't be more timely given our current economic crises. Yet, there is also something about the play's portrait of survival and human resourcefulness -scrappy, cunning human resourcefulness in the face of unbearable odds- that I find inspiring."
