any tips on dining?

The Glacier Brewhouse downtown has great food. Reservations would probably be a good idea. It gets really busy.

Marx Bros. - upscale, eclectic, tasty, fun. Highly recommend.<BR><BR>Glacier Brewhouse - not quite as pricey or upscale, more casual. Good food &amp; beer.<BR><BR>Gwennie's Old Alaskan Restaurant - great, huge - very huge! - breakfasts with reindeer sausage.<BR><BR>

Agreed on Glacier Bay Brewhouse. Their seafood chowder is to DIE for!<BR><BR>Downtown Deli for good plate lunches and hearty breakfasts.<BR><BR>The small pub around the corner from the Hilton and across the street from the federal building was AWESOME! They had a big block of wonderful cheese up on the counter, and you could just go and get a slice whenever you wanted some more.<BR><BR>Reindeer sausage is on just about every menu in Anchorage. It does get old after a while...

Another restaurant I really enjoyed was Humpy's Great Alaskan Alehouse on 6th Street. I loved the blackend halibut there. Very reasonable prices and fun bar too.

Aladdin's (Middle Eastern) in a blah strip mall on Old Seward. Possibly the best Middle Eastern/Mediterranean food in the western hemisphere. Thank God for Fodor's anonymity; there are people that would come looking for me if they knew I was blathering on a public BBS over this place.

The Millenium Hotel near the Airport has a really nice Sunday Brunch!
