Get your vittles -- always good
We travel on food, it's understood
But now instead of groceries you'll find
A Skagway menu to blow your mind!
Or so the reviews say -- we weren't hungry, so just savored this sweet confectionary of a building from the street.

D. LUCCI GROCERY
27 B
1898
During the height of the Klondike stampede, between February and April of 1898, an Italian fruit dealer, one D. Lucci, built this single-story false-fronted wood frame structure. Three years later, Lucci moved out and the new owners remodelled the facade with a plate-glass front. The building's exterior has changed little since then. It is presently the Sweet Tooth Cafe, a restaurant.
Though the Sweet Tooth Cafe has no website of its own, its menu is well reviewed on several travel sites. Simply google.....
A lot of local history can also be found at the official Skagway site: (
