Guidebook for Anchorage
Food Scene
Fire Island Rustic Bakeshop
718 K StAmazing fresh baked treats.
Best price in town on fresh seafood. It's also a bar and there is no host, first-come, first-served on tables so grab one when you see one. The halibut and chips are great, as is the French Onion Soup.
