Greg - The rooftop of 49th State Brewery is also a great place to see Denali on a Clear Day

Hi Greg,

Following along.

Glad your travels to Anchorage went well including getting your luggage.

The AirBNB looks great!

Nice pics of your tour of Anchorage.

Love Alaska, enjoy! 😎

What is reindeer sauce?

It makes Santa's sleigh go really fast!😉

[Saint Greg]

I don’t think I mentioned it but I didn’t bring a jacket or coat at all this time. I had a heavy coat in my car ready to go but the night before I looked at the forecast for all of the ports and it just wasn’t bad. I have a couple of hoodies. And my hat and gloves. That’s the extent of my cold weather gear this time around

 

[Saint Greg]

That’s how I slept. Not that it’s hot in here. It’s 70 and comfortable. But last night it said 71 which is getting on the warm side for me. I totally turned the heat totally off and hooked the fan up. Upper 60’s. 70 max for me.

Parmesan and Asiago crusted halibut

The halibut there is delicious! I think we would do the opposite route so that we could go on a fishing excursion after the cruise to catch a bunch to bring home. My husband did that at the end of a work trip almost 10 years ago and it was wonderful. They flash freeze it and it was all still frozen when he got home.

Only during the summer.

Looking out the bedroom window that black building is 49 at brewery. And the blue building next to it is the ice cream place. It’s a pretty outstanding location.

 

 

[Saint Greg]

People use this place for free parking all weekend.

it’s a little weird. That white one pulled in at 10pm last night when I was walking back.

 

[Saint Greg]

I hear a lot of trains which had me a little concerned about sleeping. But if they blow their horns at night I slept though them.

[Saint Greg]

The blue polar bear building was the first city hall.

 

 

[Saint Greg]

Federal building now has free movies on Alaska.

 

[Saint Greg]

This street is where they start the Iditarod. And apparently they have a running of the reindeer here.

Did you have a reservation or just show up? I have been trying to make one for tonight and nothing is available.  

[Saint Greg]

Another place that everyone talks about. This is breakfast and lunch only. 6:30am-3pm

The bar is open seating. I just walked in.

 

[Saint Greg]

The streets are empty but this place is packed. People are waiting inside for tables. People are waiting outside for tables.

 

[Saint Greg]

Fortunately the counter is open seating and they had one seat open.

 

 

[Saint Greg]

That’s one thing it’s going to be a lot easier for me to eat here than it is for someone who needs a table. Every place I go has a wait. But bar/counter is open seating.

 

[Saint Greg]

Menu. I ordered the Kodiak.
