Food Scene

Pastries and breads to rival those of San Francisco's Tartine Bakery (where the owners were trained); a nice place to get a coffee and a croissant or buttery scone

A wonderful wine bar with true gourmet food; you'll feel like you're in a cosmopolitan city. Try whatever seafood or fish they have on the menu - it's probably local and caught yesterday.

The BEST rooftop deck with outdoor seating overlooking the inlet. Service has been a little slow (they just opened July 2016) but the location is stunning on a sunny day. Full food menu too.

Parks & Nature

Entrances to this trail are at N Street and Virginia Ct (just a few hundred feet from the house), and at 15th Ave and S Street. Ride all or part of the trail's 9 miles to Kincaid Park to view moose, birds, and other wildlife. Do not approach moose or attempt to pass them on the trail as they can be dangerous when humans get close.

Spanning several blocks from P Street eastwards along 10th Avenue, the Park Strip is a wide open green space to play ball, picnic, read in the sun, explore the Centennial Rose Garden near 10th and N Streets, and people- and dog-watch.

Entertainment & Activities

Walk or bike up the "West High Hill" that borders Minnesota Ave (on the trail system) or the "Spenard Road Hill" bordering Spenard (also on the trail system) for a unique experience watching a second-run movie with first-rate pizza, burritos, and sandwich food and great beer in comfy theater seats with tables. The adjacent Bear Tooth Grill is a favorite restaurant with slightly more upscale Mexican, Asian, and fusion fare, often using local ingredients. Try the Banh Mi (spicy) Burger or the Mexi Combo Plate. Save room for the Chocolate Mousse!

Sightseeing

My favorite spot to watch the sunset over Cook Inlet and Mt. Susitna (Sleeping Lady) across the water. Park off to the right just above the train tracks. Or just walk.
