Me gustaría que hagan más Hospitales, para personas con Adicciones, es horrible lo que yí³ personalmente eh visto en este Estado de Alaska. Hay muchas drogas en los Hoteles de la Gambell y calle 15, incluyendo la prostitucií³n de nií±as menores de Edad, Seí±oras... Etcétera, Da Vergí¼enza que hace los legisladores y gobiernos de este Estado de Alaska. Yá es hora que sé den un paseo por estos sitios. Por favor. Gracias por su atencií³n.

Really nice place to eat and is not overly priced. The sandwiches take a bit but they are worth it and the coffee drinks are always great. Love this spot, only place I'll go downtown and find parking for but if you are already in the mall just take the elevator down.

I really like the choices for the specials and the sandwiches are always fantastic. However today I waited 30 minutes for a half sandwich, salad, and some carrots. There was a miscommunication with my order and there was no follow up from staff until at least 15 minutes after I ordered. Also, no apology from staff and no apparent concern about the long wait. I haven't had any significant problems before and will probably give them another chance in the future but I was disappointed in my service today.

I can't say enough about how much my family and I enjoyed Kastle cupcakes. We bought them at the Anchorage Soltice festival. They were superb. I have never tasted better cupcakes. I bought 6 for $19 that day. They were selling for $3.50 a piece that day and down the street cupcakes were selling for $4.
This review is for the Summer Solstice Festival held by the Anchorage Downtown Partnership. I came down on Saturday to take in the events that were being held on 4th Ave. between C and L St. The place was jam-packed with people who brought their families as well as tourists from other states and countries. To avoid issues with parking, my friend and I decided to park away from the crowds over by the Delaney Park Strip on 10th Ave. There were numerous spaces available and it provides a free, safe area for your car next to a quiet residential area just a couple of blocks away. They had a number of contests and activities lined down the street which includes the Solstice Skate Jam (professional skateboarders and local competitors showcasing their skills on the ramps), the Beard and Moustache Contest (guys doing their best impression of Ernest Hemingway to characters from the Game of Thrones TV show), the Kids Zones (activities for kids that include a giant man-made sandbox in the middle of the street, a gigantic kayak pool, a petting zoo, and rides), and the Antique Auto Mushers (auto enthusiasts showing off their classic cars from 1900 Fords to 1950's T-Birds to 1960's Mustangs). In addition to the contests, they also had several beer gardens with live music playing throughout the day by local musicians taking the stage by the Hard Rock Café, Darwin's Theory Pub, and the Gaslight Lounge. However, the main reason why I came here is an annual event that has been going on for years since Anchorage first held this at the Park Strip many years ago: the Taste of Anchorage! This is an annual event when a large number of eateries and local restaurants join together to make one big line-up of tents serving some awesome dishes by local chefs and State Fair-style food from the food trucks throughout town. This event was held between Noon to 6PM over the weekend. We decided to take a conservative approach by sampling foods from as many different vendors that we could without becoming prematurely stuffed. The first item we tried were the Reindeer Hot Dogs from Smokehouse BBQ. I had mine piled with onions, sauerkraut, and mustard and my friend had hers topped off with onion, mustard and ketchup. The dogs were plump and juicy, fresh off the large BBQ grill. We easily finished these off and washed them down with a bottled water. The next stand we hit was a vendor that served Stuffed Bananas! A very unique dish and I was curious to see how they made this. Apparently they use a pastry tube to squeeze the ingredients into the banana. Very creative! I ordered one stuffed with Nutella and Cheesecake. This was very delicious. It was like holding a dessert like a banana split or Southern-style banana cream pudding in your hands but inside the banana itself. Other toppings they offered were Peanut Butter, Heath Bar, Chocolate, and fruit fillings like Blueberry. They also offered these in a frozen banana version with the same choices available. My friend ordered a fudge cupcake from AK Cake Studios next door. She said they were rich with thick chocolate icing and this was gone after a couple of minutes. (Can't blame her. I wanted a bite but I was too late.) Other food trucks and tents that were there include the Boom Ba Laddy, a regular at the Spenard Food Truck Carnival on Thursdays with offerings like the Georgie Dog (all beef hot dog with jalapenos, cheese sauce, and buffalo sauce topped with shredded cheese) and the Boomba Works Fries (fries with cheese sauce, bacon, green peppers, jalapenos, broccoli, and steak topped with sour cream....Wow!) and Kastle Kreations, a food truck that specializes in cupcakes with flavors like the Turtle (chocolate pecan filled with caramel, topped with vanilla buttercream, dipped in chocolate ganache, and garnished with a pecan), the Oatmeal Cream Pie (oatmeal spice cake filled with marshmallow, topped with cream cheese frosting sprinkled with cinnamon and oats, then garnished with a gummy worm), and the Peanut Butter Pie (chocolate on top of an Oreo crust filled with peanut b
