Guidebook for Anchorage
Food Scene
Great neighborhood restaurant to go for dinner, or just an appetizer and a drink. Known more for dinner, but they also have an espresso bar and light breakfast, a convenient location to stop on your way out of town! Fun fact: some of wood in the modern building is reclaimed from a fish cannery on the Kenai Peninsula that operated in the 1920s.

One of our favorite places to eat in Anchorage! Known for their Pacific Rim Cuisine, you can't go wrong ordering anything off the menu. A fun place to go for a cocktail, pretty modern feel for Alaska.

One of our favorite places to walk close to our house. If you drive to the main park signed entrance, walk down the trail, down the big hill and follow the interpretive signs for the 1964 Earthquake. It's amazing to see how the 9.2 earthquake impacted this area.
