My last day in Juneau I took a canoe to the Mendenhall Glacier. We were paddling for a while to get to the glacier and I worked up an appetite. Usually when I am really hungry I want the perfect meal. The perfect meal would be something delicious that will fill me up and doesn’t cost too much. I decided to get my last hit at Tracy’s King Crab Shack. I have to say that is my favorite place to go in Juneau to eat. However, it may be delicious but it didn’t fill me up. I walked by a crepe stand and saw a cheeseburger crepe on the menu. That sounded interesting and I would have liked to try it but they closed by the time that I decided to get it.

My search went on as I walked around town. It was getting late in Juneau. Most restaurants close around 8:30 – 9:00 and it was pushing 8:45. I needed a quick hit that was cheap. I just spent money and I was hungry still but just for a little something more. I remembered something unique I passed by a few weeks ago. It was small and cheap and would be perfect. I just didn’t know if it would be open. Pelmeni is a Russian dumpling house that apparently stays open late because of the bar, The Hanger, that is right next to it. So I got myself some dumplings with the works. Check out the video.
