Good Food
I love to sit in the bar here, the view is fantastic. They specialize in a scratch margarita and any of the mojitos are truly refreshing. We always get the appetizer sampler and deserts. I’m sure their dinners are excellent too! If you want to sit in the main restaurant, make reservations.

This is a busy place but it’s worth the wait. The pizza is excellent and they have a good selection of local beers on tap. If beer isn’t your thing I highly recommend the root beer they have on tap.

Peter’s Sushi Spot is only 1/2 a mile from The Boothby House. We haven’t decided which roll is our favorite yet, but I personally always go for the Rainbow Roll.

Anchorage is known for its diversity. Alaska and Hawaii ave very different but we seem have a very special connection as the last two states to join the union and possibly because many companies won’t ship to us since neither of us is part of the contiguous states. Their Poke is a local favorite, but everything is delicious here.

To develop a better understanding of the immense diversity of the native cultures of our state, this is a stop worth making. Make sure to go out to the courtyard to tour each of the traditional living structures.

Anchorage Museum
625 C StreetThis is a smaller zoo, but it’s worth the drive out to see it. My favorite exhibit is the polar bears. If you are here in the winter months, check into tickets for Zoo Lights. The winter, night time zoo experience is one I do every year.

I know this seems like an odd suggestion, you probably don’t need cases of anything on your trip, but this is a worthy stop for certain local gifts. Costco carries some Alaskan made seasonings that are wonderful. There is a berry syrup made by Kodak Cakes that is deletions, I serve it on waffles or drizzle it on vanilla bean ice cream.
