Where to Eat in Talkeetna: An Alaskan’s Guide to 9 Great Restaurants
For a small Alaskan town, Talkeetna has a big personality. It is perhaps best known as the inspiration for the 90s dramedy Northern Exposure, and with few exceptions, has changed very little since the time when it served as the fictional setting for a backwoods doctor and his quirky friends.
