unique menu! Warm, industrial-chic spot offering an elevated take on American comfort food & craft brews. Our menu is based around our love for food and the feelings it invokes. Food to me is a language and if spoken correctly can be great, but with a lot of practice, a bit of courage, and some hard work I believe we can do more than just speak through our food. I believe we can make it SING through attention to detail and creative uses of products and techniques to the tune of an all American comfort ideal. – Chef Adam https://rusticgoatak.com/

Everything Else

If you’re looking for a wild oasis that’s just a 15-minute walk from downtown Anchorage, look no further than Westchester Lagoon (also known as Margaret Eagan Sullivan Park). One of the city’s most popular places, this is where locals come to play, as it has something for everyone. You’ll find access to great trails and wildlife, as well as year-round activities and events for the entire family. Activities The lagoon always draws a crowd. It lies at the convergence of two of Anchorage’s most popular trails—Tony Knowles and Chester Creek—so locals and visitors come to enjoy running, walking, biking, skate-skiing, roller-skiing. Out on the lagoon, you’ll see people kayaking and paddleboarding; while you can’t rent kayaks at the park, you can at a couple nearby sports stores (see below). Families especially love the playground, which has toys and equipment for people of all ages: slides, rocking “animals,” even an outdoor exercise station. Wildlife Alaska’s animals love it here, too. You can see moose year-round, and you may spot a beaver in the early morning or late evening. Muskrats, red foxes, otters, and minks make their home here, too, but it’s very rare to see them. And Westchester’s varied habitats make it a great place for birding, especially in the spring. Look for songbirds and raptors on the lagoon’s wooded east side, while the west side has marshes that attract ducks, mallards, pintails, wigeons, scaup, geese, grebes, and shorebirds. Wintertime Alaskans don’t hibernate just because it’s cold! You’ll always find activity at Westchester Lagoon: couples on ice-skating dates, local college hockey players, parents teaching their kids to skate, leisurely cross-country skiers on the groomed Coastal Trail, and much more. There’s even a wintertime-only disc golf course. (Buy discs at REI or Play it Again Sports—see below). You may even see people roasting marshmallows over huge metal barrels on the lake. No marshmallows? These barrels also make great places to warm up. The big activity is family skate, which draws quite a crowd for wintertime Alaska—100 people or more. You’ll find that happening every Saturday in January through the middle of March from 1pm to 3pm. It’s free to join, and there’s free hot chocolate. Each week has a different theme, with games related to that theme. Animals don’t hibernate either. Where the creek comes in, you can see waterfowl like mergansers, goldeneye ducks, mallards, eagles, and moose. And look for fox tracks. Equipment Rentals
 Don’t fret if you didn’t bring your bike or skis. Here’s where to find them. Downtown Bicycle Rental REI - Cross-country skis-Snowshoes-Kayaks-Paddleboards-Canoes Play It Again Sports, Ice skates, Cross-country skis

Ice Skating, lots of shopping, movie theater with reclining seats and much more! Dimond Center was founded by Joe and Patty Ashlock in 1977. It started out as a simple neighborhood shopping center, with just 180,000 square feet. With time and effort it has grown and today Dimond Center is home to retail stores, restaurants, professional offices, a bowling alley, ice chalet, athletic club, and movie theaters. Currently, it covers 8½ blocks. It has gone from being a modest neighborhood shopping venue to the largest Shopping Center in Alaska. A key to Dimond Center’s development is its priority to maximize the synergy from all its different facets: shopping, dining, business, and entertainment; creating a community hub that meets the needs of Alaskans. Joe and Patty wanted local families to be able to go to shop, socialize, have fun, and dine in a safe, family-friendly environment; thus the Dimond Center that exists today. Over the years, and through expansions, they have invested in the local community: creating jobs and boosting commerce. Dimond Center has also made a point of giving back to the community that has given it so much. Dimond Center remains family-owned business, run by the next generation, with the same commitment to family and community as the day it was founded. https://www.dimondcenter.com/

whats showing while youre in town? Alaska Center for the Performing Arts, Inc. (PAC), a non-profit organization contracted by the Municipality of Anchorage, manages the Center. The PAC hosts producing and presenting organizations, schedules space use in the building, provides production management and technical expertise, sells tickets, and provides services for more than 240,000 patrons who enjoy the facility annually. The PAC opened its doors to the public in 1988. The facility was built as part of Project 80's, along with the Anchorage Museum of History and Art, Egan Civic and Convention Center, Sullivan Arena and Z.J. Loussac Library. The 2018/2019 performance season marks the PAC’s 30th Anniversary. One of the PAC’s main functions is to bring community together. As a downtown landmark the facility is not only a beautiful structure against the skyline, but also a place where people come to have life-changing experiences, every day! The PAC is dedicated to providing opportunities for the community to enjoy this facility through a diverse season programmed by its 10 resident companies and other users, in addition to various annual sponsored programs and community events. The Alaska Center for the Performing Arts began as just a dream. It was the dream of community leaders who believed that the performing arts in Alaska needed a permanent place they could call home. The world-class facility they envisioned was a place where the performing arts and artists could thrive, and where all Alaskans could come together to experience the joy, inspiration and enrichment that the performing arts provide. So began the dream, which became reality nearly thirty-five years later when the Alaska Center for the Performing Arts opened its doors for the first time. Beginning in the 1960s (20 years prior to the opening of the Center), local arts organizations began advocating in earnest for a performing arts center located in Anchorage. Prior to the Center's opening, performing arts groups had all used performance spaces such as West High Auditorium, the University's Williamson Hall and the Sydney Laurence Auditorium (which except for a piece of the stage tower was razed for construction of the Center). Finally in the early eighties, funding from the State of Alaska, a vote of the people, and a site location helped their vision take shape. In the 1980s, ground was broken for the Alaska PAC in 1985. In 1987 Mayor Tony Knowles convinced local community leader, Gregory M. Carr, to lead the Board of Director for the non-profit organization founded to manage this new facility. Greg accepted the challenge and asked friends, family and many other community leaders to join him. Because of their help and his commitment to the dream of what the facility could bring the community, the building survived many obstacles to open in September 1988. The Discovery Theatre and Sydney Laurence Theatre opened on September 10, 1988, with an attendance of over 35,000 patrons. The opening of the Atwood Concert Hall and the Grand Opening of the entire facility was celebrated on December 15, 1988, with a gala performance featuring Jay Leno, Diane Schuur and the Count Basie Orchestra. Although very busy and much appreciated by the community now, the Alaska PAC was not built without controversy. Originally estimated to cost $40 million, by the time the building celebrated its Grand Opening, the cost had swelled to $70 million with some parts of the building still unfinished. The facility suffered from a controversy over its naming, inaccessibility to the disabled, a leaking roof, a serious downturn in the economy and misunderstandings over interior features, such as the poppy carpet. There was even an offer to buy the Alaska PAC for conversion into a gambling casino! Controversy aside, the Alaska PAC quickly become a very popular and well-utilized facility, even in its first year of operation. In its first full season (1989-90) over 89,000 patrons attended a variety of events at the Center, and these figures have steadily increased. Ten years later, annual attendance figures hovered above 240,000 patrons. Almost twenty years later, over 560,000 patrons have attended performances, conferences, meetings and other events at the Center, thanks primarily to the Center's Resident Companies. Alaska Center for the Performing Arts, designed by Hardy, Holzman and Pfieffer, stand on a city block bounded on the south and north by 6th and 5th Avenues and on the west by G Street. To the east, the property abuts a second city block designated as Town Square Park. Together with the newly developed Dena'ina Center and the Egan Convention Center, these facilities are the major civic center in the heart of downtown Anchorage. Close to restaurants, hotels and shopping, it is the focus of Anchorage's cultural life! http://www.alaskapac.org/about/
