Home to some of the most culturally diverse neighborhoods in the United States, Anchorage is packed with mouthwatering cuisine from around the world.

5 TASTES OF ANCHORAGE
SEAFOOD – Alaska has more coastline than any other state in the union, and the waters near Anchorage teem with savory salmon, flaky, fresh halibut, buttery crab, and juicy shrimp. Enjoy seafood chilled, grilled, in chowders, tacos, crisp salads, and more. There’s always something in season.
WILD BERRIES – Blueberry patches drape the hillsides, cranberries carpet mountain passes, and raspberries line sidewalks and alleys around Anchorage. Taste them in handmade ice creams and gelatos, sweet jams and jellies, fresh tarts, and a variety of other treats.
SOURDOUGH – While other yeasts were difficult to ship and store in Alaska’s early days, sturdy sourdough passed the test, making it a statewide staple for years to come. These days, you can find it flavoring crusty loaves of bread and fluffy stacks of pancakes in restaurants and diners around Anchorage.
REINDEER SAUSAGE – In the summer, the spicy scents of succulent reindeer sausage fill the air over downtown Anchorage. Try one smothered in caramelized onions, or studded with sauteed pineapple. In the winter, warm up with a hearty bowl of reindeer stew.
BIRCH – The slender birch trees feathering Southcentral Alaska produce more than just picture-perfect foliage: Trees are also tapped each spring to produce a supply of birch syrup, a sweet addition to everything from French toast to candies, marinades, and glazes. Only a few thousand gallons of the syrup are produced annually worldwide; a large portion of it flows from Alaska.

dine in • takeout • family-owned
Take your taste buds to the peak of Himalayan dining with a visit to Yak and Yeti. This family-owned business elevates favorite foods from North India, Tibet, and Nepal from a spot in the heart of the Spenard neighborhood.
Mix and match the perfect rice bowl, selecting options including Tibetan stir fry pork, yams in a tangy cream sauce, curried yellow lentils, or black lentils with Jimbu, a herb grown amid the tallest peaks on the planet. The green daal soup’s deep color and complex flavor make the lentil and spinach dish a popular pick. With sandwiches like pork vindaloo on house-made turmeric baguettes or a gyro packed with tandoori lamb, onion, cucumber, and yogurt sauce, you might ponder how it’s possible to pick up that much flavor. Housemade chai, fruit Lhassis and Delhi iced coffee mean even the drink options span the globe.

TAKE HOME THE TASTE
The meal may end, but there’s more to look forward to than an after-dinner mint. The flavors of Anchorage travel well. Here are five of the best ways to savor bites of Alaska, even at home.
FLYING FISH – Ever seen a salmon soar? Local markets and processors can ship Alaska seafood right to your door. Pack up your catch, or select from the catch of the day.
TREE TREATS – Maple may get the glory elsewhere, but Alaskans tap birch trees for syrup. This caramel-flavored concoction goes on more than pancakes.
MEAT ME IN ANCHORAGE – Hot dog carts are an Anchorage staple, and reindeer sausage packed to go is an easy item to take home. You’ll surprise a few friends with this flavor straight from Alaska.
LOCAL BUZZ – Coffee culture is alive and well, and local roasters offer up beans ready to help you impart the coffee-shop vibe to your kitchen counter. Though impossible to prove, some also claim the drive-up coffee hut as an Alaska innovation.
GROWLERS AND CANS – Canned beer packs light and travels well, so locals love to take it along on outdoor adventures. Those same characteristics make canned Anchorage brews easy to pack up no matter your destination. There’s even a spot inside security at the Anchorage airport that fills growlers to go.

LOCAL VIBES
Anchorage knows how to have a good time, from free summer shows in Town Square Park to lively midwinter festivals and popular year-round art walks. First Friday events – held on the first Friday of every month –bring the work of local artists to cafes, galleries, bars, and breweries around the city. Throughout the year, catch traveling performers, comedy shows, and live music at numerous nightclubs, pubs, and coffeehouses.
Local theaters host everything from renowned national productions to made-inAlaska plays, while fall through spring, the Alaska Center for Performing Arts books the best of Broadway and beyond. Locales feature headlining acts ranging from the obscure to the celebrated, and area museums highlight Anchorage’s cultural heritage, past and present.
Music lovers can find regular live performances at a variety of Anchorage area establishments, and outdoor concerts get your toes tapping and fingers snapping. Celtic, blues, acoustic, R&B, and bluegrass, among others, resonate throughout the city where the scene is as diverse as the Alaska landscape.
Sports fans can catch the big game on flat screens at local pubs around town; test your taste buds on five-alarm hot wings or local favorites like halibut cheeks. Leave the remote behind and pick up some tickets for exciting live sports action. Anchorage boasts three semi-pro baseball teams, club-style boxing, a junior hockey team, and the University of Alaska Anchorage Seawolves.
MUSIC HOT SPOTS
A variety of Anchorage bars and restaurants offer live music and performances highlighting talented local artists. Check out places like 49th State Brewing, The Broken Blender, Humpy's Great Alaskan Alehouse, and Matanuska Brewing Company.
ANCHORAGE MUSEUM – In the summer, the spacious front lawn of the Anchorage Museum becomes an outdoor stage for local musicians performing for Lunch on the Lawn, a free midday event combining live music, hands-on family activities, and tasty local lunch menus courtesy of Anchorage food trucks. When the snow flies, shows move inside: On the first Friday of every month, it’s not uncommon to find a stage set up in the museum atrium, or catch a folk band performing in an elevator.
PERATROVICH PARK – Nestled on a tree-lined corner of Fourth Avenue, cozy Peratrovich Park is home to Music in the Park –a free seasonal Wednesday concert series featuring solo and group acts from around the state. On Mondays, there’s Music for Little Ones –an interactive, pint-sized performance for the youngest music lovers in the group.
TOWN SQUARE PARK – In the center of downtown Anchorage, Town Square Park is the perfect venue for Live After Five, a Thursday evening concert series featuring free performances, a beer and wine garden, and an assortment of tantalizing Alaska treats to fill your belly.
