Missed Connections in Alaska: The We Loved "Into The Wild" Edition

December 21, 2007 at 4:00 PM | 0 Comments

This week we finally caught up to the movie "Into the Wild," and while we still like the Jon Krakauer nonfiction book better, we were thrilled by the sweeping vistas of off-the-beaten-path Alaska captured by director Sean Penn. Since our 49th state has but one communal Craigslist page, we thought we'd offer an all-Alaska edition of Most Missed, in case you have a hankering to travel north this winter. (Read Into the Wild first!)

La Mex, Anchorage -- This three-location Mexican minichain is famous for its fresh tortillas and (better for sharing with beautiful blondes) strong margaritas. 8330 King St.

Pump House, Fairbanks -- Woo her with dessert at this Gold Rush-themed grill. 796 Chena Pump Rd.

Cosmic Kitchen, Homer -- Scrambled eggs to smoothies are on offer at this charming little indie. Get to know the guy at the table next to you, because "Winters in Homer can be very lonely." 510 Pioneer Ave.
