A lively weekend at the Melrose Trading Post flea market in Los Angeles
Comedian Taylor Tomlinson shares her ideal Sunday routine in Los Angeles amidst her busy schedule of a 76-date stand-up tour. From making matcha to visiting local cafes and bookstores, she treasures the few Sundays she gets to relax in her city. Her day includes culinary adventures, flea market finds, and winding down with a movie, giving a glimpse into the life of a comedian balancing work and leisure in a vibrant metropolis.
Oh, Los Angeles! The city of angels and a vibrant atmosphere, and for comedian Taylor Tomlinson, it also serves as her occasional Sunday sanctuary. After spending the past nine years in this humming metropolis, this comedic dynamo finds herself on the road for an impressive Stand-Up Tour dubbed “Save Me,” racking up an astonishing 76 dates spanning North America and Europe until January. With plans for a homecoming show at the iconic Greek Theatre in L.A. on August 10, it’s no wonder Taylor has Sundays on her mind.
Although she calls Los Angeles home, Tomlinson only gets about 20 Sundays a year to revel in the comforts of her city. With a gremlin-like schedule that sees her flying out of town two to three weekends each month, Sundays often find her packing, traveling, or just dashing home in time for a cozy evening in.
When she gets that precious Sunday in L.A., you can bet she dreams of a perfect morning. First things first, Taylor is all about the matcha. For her ideal brew, she prefers the satisfaction of whisking up a creamy drink right at her kitchen counter, combining unsweetened almond milk, cinnamon, and a hint of vanilla protein for a refreshing iced treat. The simple pleasure of bubbling water and a bamboo whisk sets the tone for a tranquil day ahead.
After she masters that perfect matcha, there’s no better way to indulge than curling up in bed with a few good books. Lately, she’s been diving into works by Chuck Palahniuk, picking up tips for her own writing while enjoying the fantastical realms created by R.F. Kuang in “The Dragon Republic.” What better way to kick off a relaxed Sunday?
Next on her agenda is a feast, and Taylor loves to whip up a delicious breakfast for herself. Imagine a scrumptious scramble of eggs, turkey, zucchini, spinach, bell peppers, all topped with a generous layer of avocado. Now that’s a fill-up for a busy day ahead!
After dining, Taylor’s ideal day leans toward a social experience at the Melrose Trading Post flea market. This bustling market isn’t just a shopping destination; it’s a vibrant hangout filled with food and music. With friends by her side, she often scores incredible finds like trendy leather jackets or unique lamps while mingling with fellow market-goers. Last time, she enjoyed Thai food straight from a truck, turning it into a lively culinary adventure.
Post-market, it’s time to shift gears and head to Vroman’s Bookstore in Pasadena. This cozy independent bookstore has stolen her heart with its vast collection of must-reads and quirky gifts. Taylor is known to scoop up spiral-ring notebooks, which she uses for journaling and crafting new jokes—this gal knows the value of staying organized!
For a little tranquility, Taylor often retreats to the tranquil grounds of the Huntington, where she can read or write amid the beautiful landscapes. And just when you think her glorious Sunday is winding down, she ends on a high note with sushi at Sushi Tomoki in Studio City, preferably right as they open their doors to avoid long waits.
To wrap up her perfect day, Taylor loves catching a movie at Universal CityWalk. There’s something magical about discussing films with friends and sharing opinions over popcorn that rounds off her Sunday perfectly.
As the night draws near, Taylor indulges in her bedtime routine with a warm cup of tea, a soothing shower, and some quality reading or journaling. She aims for a bedtime of midnight, bringing her dream of a perfect L.A. Sunday to a satisfied close. With such a packed yet delightful itinerary, it’s no wonder Taylor Tomlinson’s Sundays are few and far between!
