One of the few redeeming qualities that Anchorage has, is the large number of great places to eat. World wide cuisine is available , from 5 star dinning to fast and greasy. Gwennies is good and then go to Peggy's, across the street from Merrill Field for the best pie in town. I used to fly my Super Cub into Merrill for yeary inspections, often staying at the Mush Inn Motel, also across the street, and down a bit from Stoddard's Aircraft shop. I have been known to stop into Peggy's 3 or 4 times a day for pie, while waiting for my plane to be maintained. The Mush Inn seems to change names every time in drive by there with our RV, on our northern trips.
For high class entertainment, a person of sofistication and good taste may wish to check out Chillkoot Charlie's and for the real essence of Anchorage, the Great Alaska Bush Company. Anchorage has something for every taste or lack there of.. LOL especially the Spenard area of town. At one time, Spenard was a separate town from Anchorage, up until the unification of the City and Borough of Anchorage, came into existence.
