  Market day in Anchorage

Summer markets are set up near the Hilton Hotel on 3rd Ave. near 'C' Street. They are full of art and souveiners geared toward the tourist. However, good deals can be found if you look hard enough. There is also a great variety of food vendors serving all types--from Thai to Russian to halibut quesadillas.

Unique Suggestions: Go early or after 3pm when the crowds have died down. Enter with the intent to seek earnestly for Alaskan treasure. Take time to sit, enjoy the music entertainment, and indulge in some people/dog watching.

Review Helpfulness: 2.5 out of 5 stars
