Here is a slideshow on the "cool" side of Anchorage from the New York Times.

John and I decided to try the Cake Studio (slide 4). When we went in, John asked if they'd had a flood of newcomers since the New York Times article. She said, "Well, you know here and there." ...that seemed to be an odd response... I told her about how Pizzeria Bianco had gotten so, so busy after its Times review (and Oprah, but I omitted that). She laughed and said, "Really? I guess people read the New York Times all over, huh?"
Now that just seemed odd...
I said, "You know you were covered in the Times, right?"
"Well, yeah, the local Times," she said.
John and I clarified that, indeed, the Cake Studio was covered in the New York Times.
She was excited, but extremely skeptical (that kind of "uh-huh, whatever you say" nod). I told her I'd send the link... maybe now she'll really believe me ;)
2 things:
ReplyDelete1) maybe her excitement wasn't tempered by skepticism but by disdain for that liberal rag.
2) i have to say that a food tour of anchorage is becoming more and more tempting.
1) doubtful... the downtown crowd is pretty liberal
ReplyDelete2) that and the opportunity to have Taro face-off with Hayden at agility training ;) Actually, food here is pretty darn tasty... plus my cooking has drastically improved
