Guidebook for Anchorage
Food Scene
Recently voted as the 3rd best pizza in the whole country! The Chipotle Steak Pizza and Buffalo Chicken Salad are my favs. If you’re feeling adventurous, the Mac and cheese pizza with reindeer sausage is sooo weirdly good.

Spenard Roadhouse
1049 W Northern Lights BlvdMacaroni and cheese, and tater tots. Need I say more?
An artsy cafe with oodles of vegan options and some of the best (and cheapest) espresso in town. Best in the early mornings (they open at 6 in the summer!) or for a late lunch when the crowds have died down.

Apparently, Alaskans are very into pizza. This is the newest pizza place in town, but thankfully they're doing their own thing. Everything here is amazing, and they have some outdoor seating for those sunny days.

So Thai
There’s a lot of good Thai food in Anchorage, but this one is my favorite!
Serranos has really great Mexican food and a Mexico City sort of vibe. Very artistic, big bar! My favorite thing to get is the Serranos Burrito with carnitas.

A gorgeous plant shop that also has amazing coffee and lots of gift items. In the same building is a produce shop, so you can get some fruits and veggies to keep you feeling good while traveling.

Drinks & Nightlife
This place is newer to the Anchorage restaurant scene, and still feels like a little bit of a secret. I adore getting coffee in the morning here, but it's a little out of the way. It's also the only place I really go to grab a post-work drink.

Entertainment & Activities
Anchorage's only dine-in theatre! Eat some super good food (pizzas, burritos, tacos, the list goes on) and have a beer, wine or a margarita while you watch a second-run film! Movies are $4 (3D is $5), so this is a great (and affordable) way to spend a few hours.

A meandering paved trail winds through this massive stretch of woods and eventually leads down to the beach. Lots of cyclists, runners, and active people in general utilize this area. Moose sightings are likely, here!
