Old Harbour Area Old Harbour Depart for whale and puffin watching tours from the old harbour, a lively area, offering an assortment of restaurants and activity centres Future Concert Hall City Pond Miklatún Park Kjarvalsstaðir National Museum Hljómskáli Park Vesturbæjar Swimming Pool∆ Taxi Taxi Taxi Kringlan Shopping Center BakkusSódóma Reykjavík OSUSHI A new and welcome addition to Reykajvík’s bar scene, Bakkus serves up reasonably priced beer, a really impressive selection of international vodkas and an atmosphere unlike any other in town. An eclectic mix of patrons, regular live music and movie nights keep this place interesting and always inviting. Expect dancing on tables and to-the-death foosball battles. CF Sódóma on Tryggvagötu is quickly became a hit with party crowds and gig-goers alike. An extensive venue, filled with reasonably priced beverages and reasonably good looking people. Some of Iceland’s finest musical ventures regularly perform there, and their schedule looks promising too. Also, make sure to visit their men’s room for a glance at the “Pissoir of Absolution”. JB Great place to satisfy your craving for raw fish and vinegar rice. The selection on ‘the train’ is wide and varied and the atmosphere is relaxed. Also, the colour-coded plates make it easy to keep tabs on your budget while scarfing down your maki and nigiri. CF Tryggvagata 22 – NaustarmeginTryggvagötu 22 Lækjargata 2a 1110 Kisan This store is incredibly cool. It’s stocked with really unique and quirky clothes, outerwear, accessories and handbags, plus they have an adorable section of kids clothes, kitschy vintage toys and books and even interior design items. Wicked place; definitely worth a visit. CF Laugavegur 7 17 Babalú Located on the second-floor of a quirky little building on Skólavörðustígur, Babalú is an inviting, quaint and cosy café serving up a selection of tea, coffee and hot chocolate along with delicious baked goods and light meals. Food and drink aside, Babalú boasts colourfully decorated and super-comfortable surroundings and a genuinely friendly and likeable staff. CF Skólavörðustíg 22 13 Kaffibarinn Weekends are somewhat overrated at Kaffibarinn. Oh, of course they’re brilliant if you’re completely pissed, the DJ is fresh and the crowd is full-blooded. Still, the weekdays are evenbetter. It doesn’t matter when you pop in, you’re always treated like a pal rather than a customer, and you should always expect get caught in some shenanigans, whether it’s a crazy Monday bender or a whacky Tuesday... well... bender. SKK Bergstaðastræti 1 1812 Grænn Kostur Serving healthy organic vegan and vegetarian food for well over a decade, Grænn Kostur is the perfect downtown choice for enjoying light, wholesome and inexpensive meals. Try any of their courses of the day, or go for the ever- pleasing spinach lasagne. Skólavörðustíg 8b 16 Kolaportið Reykjavík’s massive indoor flea market is a wonderful place to get lost for a few hours, rummaging through stall upon stall of potential treasures. There are heaps of used clothing, knitwear and other yard-sale type goods from decades of yore, and a large food section with fish, meats and baked goods. Check out the vintage post cards and prints at the table near the army surplus. CF Tryggvagata 19 14 Pizza King To be honest, this isn’t the best pizza up for grabs, but it’s cheap, not pre- heated (like at SOME pizza places downtown), and the staff is rather cool. Their pizzas are always bulletproof, and they offer various offers on top of it that are definitely worth check out. SKK Hafnarstræti 18 15 6 7 8 9 10 For a map of outside downtown Reykjavík visit www.grapevine. is or the Icelandic phonebook website www.ja.is Check out our walking tour, Grape- vine Got Legs, every friday 4 pm at Havarí, Austurstræti.
