BEST pizza and beer in Alaska....and voted # 3 best Pizza in the US. It is quite busy in the summer season so go early or plan for a wait, especially at peak times and on the weekends.

Vegan and Vegetarian friendly. The food here is amazing! Never had anything we didn't like. And Karen, the owner, is the sweetest person. Definitely go here. :)

Great selection of Vegan, Vegetarian, and Non-Vegetarian Nepalese Food and Drink. One of favorite restaurants to visit! Great food, nice people, and reasonable prices. A bit of a drive from Downtown Anchorage but well worth it. If you enjoy good food and hole-in-the-wall great experiences, try this place! Recommendations: Saag Paneer, Garlic Naan, Daal Soup, Chicken Makhani, or Dinner Thali.

Fun wine bar and tapas restaurant inside the Hotel Captain Cook. The food is decent but go for the wine and good conversation! Within a short walk of the Suite.

Great day hike and very popular with locals and tourists alike. Please don't underestimate this hike however, as several tourists a year are airlifted off. :) Please dress appropriately for the weather (which may be different or change near the top!), treat it as a real hike and not a nature walk and you'll be fine. Great views of the city and inlet from the top!

Absolutely beautiful, especially in the shoulder seasons. This park is located several hours from Anchorage and a vehicle and extra accommodations are needed. It can be a day trip but we suggest spending a few days in the park area if you go. Always be mindful and respectful of the wildlife please!

A steep trail along one of the most beautiful stretches of highway. Best suited for intermediate hikers and folks with mid to high fitness levels (not saying it can't be done at a lesser fitness level, but lets be real...you're on vacation. You don't want to be icing your legs on the sofa for the rest of your trip :). Well worth the effort for the view!

Great easy trail with a hand-tram ride over the gorge! Gorgeous trail. Great for beginner to mid fitness level and families. Make sure to stop before or after in Girdwood for lunch or ice cream! In the fall, pick (if you know for sure what they look like that is!) blueberries along the trailhead.

Every Tuesday there is a pub run, which is free! Walk it, run it, just have fun. Everyone meets back at McGinley's Irish Pub for beer and raffle drawings after. A real local event but something to check out while you are in town if it is your sort of thing! Great for the whole family (well, maybe except for the beer!).
