Anchorage Now: An Opinionated Three-Buck Guide To Make Your Trip Three-Times Better.

As if written for a visiting friend, this short, but extremely useful guide tells you exactly what you need to make the most of your time in Anchorage, including:

• which side of the plane to sit on for the best view
• what to do if you have only one morning in Anchorage
• which big hotel has a terrible location
• where to go on a short road trip
• where to eat, stay, and walk downtown

Written by a long-time Alaskan travel writer, Anchorage Now is updated constantly to ensure that your time in Anchorage is, in fact, three-times better than it would have been.

Update 6-25-13: The restaurant, Maxine's, has moved from Girdwood to Anchorage. A weird location in a former Greek restaurant (complete with plaster pillars) but still the best place to eat in town.
