- Josephines: Long gone as a restaurant. The space is still there and used occassionally, but I've not been up there for a long time.
- Crows Nest: Still there; Private Club: still there, but often opened up for other events when people buy the space
- Whales tail has moved into the basement: updated and remodeled, it's pretty neat
- The BBQ place is gone (LD's? JD's? JT's?), unfortunately, hard to find decent BBQ in Los Anchorage
- Darwin (of Darwin's Theory) has/had/is having a running fight with ABC and the Anchorage Assembly over any number of issues relating to alcohol service, hours, responsible serving ("TAM" Cards), etc. IMNSHO, Darwin's Theory is a bit of a hole-in-the-wall place.
- Snow City is a great place for breakfast...if you're a Republican Conservative, they sense that as you walk in and are obliged to give you a snarl before their usual pleasant service :)
- Moose's Tooth: Nice enough pizza and a wide variety of pizzas and related menu items. That being said, overpriced, and the physical location is overcrowded. Good problem to have if you're the owner; I haven't eaten in there for 3-4 years, when I get MT pizza, it's to go.
- Piccolini's: Great place...unfortunately located in Chicken Creek (when you grow up in Alaska, you're entitled to use mildly derogatory names for places that weren't incorporated when you were a kid)
- Sicily's: I can't help but compare Sicily's to CiCi's in Ewe-stun: CiCi's wins on decor, age, brightness. Sicily's wins hands down over any other pizza joint in Houston for the food, although some of the Italian restaurants will have better pizza and pasta.
