Food Scene

Located directly across the street, If you want a fast simple homestyle burger, this is the place. I've been eating Jim burgers since before I could see over the counter and I often pop in for a quick lunch when working at the property. It has been around for DECADES!

The Glacier Brewhouse is one of my favorite downtown restaurants. Great food, great atmosphere, and they offer several craft beers brewed right on site. I love their Brewhouse Blonde, one of my local favorites!

If you are looking for a more upscale meal specializing in seafood, this is a great option. They also offer very nice inlet views if you can get a table by a window. Sunday mornings the put on a large Bloody Mary bar in the bar with all the toppings and hot sauces you could ever want. It's a good time!

A small, very popular ice cream shop located on E st. right next door to the Hard Rock Cafe. They specialize in unique Alaskan flavors and offer a "baked Alaska" marshmallow topping which I highly recommend giving a try!

Essentials

This is the closest grocery store to the property, about 9 blocks away. Being the only "large" grocery store in downtown, it is also the oldest in Anchorage. It is small and a little cramped compared to modern grocers, but it has everything you need.

Sightseeing

Stop into the little log cabin visitor's center so start your Alaskan adventure off right! Also, right outside the cabin on F St is the Downtown Trolley Tours. Look for a guy wearing a conductor's hat. This is a fun little informational trolley ride and tour that runs you around downtown Anchorage and out to Earthquake Park. Trolleys run every 30-60 minutes typically in the summer. Possibly a good activity for a rainy day when you want to stay dry.

Drinks & Nightlife

Long time downtown bar, great scallops and pasta! Sample the "do not eat" block of cheese, it is a downtown staple! This was my "go to place" for a Friday night out to catch up with the boys.

This is the largest restaurant in Anchorage by square footage. It features arguably the best outdoor patio space in all of Anchorage with views of the inlet and port of Alaska, as well as a great food menu. And of course, there's the BEERS! Great home brewed root beer as well for those looking for a non-alcoholic option.

Great alternative lifestyle neighborhood bar where all open minds are welcome and the outdoor patio is a fantastic hidden gem in downtown. PLUS, they are located directly across the street from the Cottages! In the summer I frequently pop in and visit with the owners and enjoy a cold beer after a long day of work at the Cottages.
