In a different corner of the culture world, e Comedy Store on Pearl Street has been the place for a good laugh since 1977, when David Letterman proffered the Store's inaugural act. Feeling brave? It hosts weekly open-mic shots for aspiring comics on Tuesdays at 7pm. Or grab dinner and a show at e Lot La Jolla, featuring new releases screened in luxury, reclining leather-seated theaters with a waitstaff on hand to serve made-to-order gourmet dishes — because don't we all deserve to enjoy a flat iron steak with our flick? Don't be the local who refuses to do touristy things just because they're touristy — some are very much worth the hype. Down at the cove, explore La Jolla's storied sea cave, dug more than a century ago and the source of local lore from Hollywood highlights to Prohibition-era smuggling. If the water is calling, rent a kayak from Everyday California. Bonus: guests of e Cormorant enjoy a 20 percent discount on rentals. And to unlock the mystery of what lurks beneath the waves here and beyond, be sure to visit (or revisit) Birch Aquarium. Beyster Family Little Blue Penguins, its newest exhibit, brings guests up close and personal with these burrito-sized cuties as they waddle, swim, and glide about their new home. e 2,900-square-foot habitat mimics the coasts of Australia and New Zealand, where these penguins can be found in the wild. For more family-friendly fun, the La Jolla Open Aire Market offers 120+ vendors every Sunday at Girard Avenue and Genter Street. Open from 9am-1pm, festivities include live music, a food court, full-time masseuses, and even complimentary dog sitting. Just Go Maybe you were just there last week, or maybe it's been a while. Maybe you're just looking for a beautiful way to spend a day or weekend. Whatever the reason, it's time to rediscover what makes La Jolla such a treasured destination for people around the world.
