Spenard
The spirit of Spenard is captured by the winding Spenard Road—an anomaly in this meticulously gridlike city. The quieter neighborhood lies just west of Midtown (Spenard Road is considered the dividing line) and is known for its artsy, hip vibe, some of the city's most notable casual restaurants, a good farmers' market, and Anchorage's largest independent bookstore, Title Wave.
