Every year around the beginning of July, we make a BEST OF REYKJAVÍK ISSUE celebrating some
of what makes Reykjavík-life worthwhile, posting some good entries into a hopefully neverending
discussion. The primary purpose of BEST OF REYKJAVÍK is celebration! It’s about big-upping stuff,
giving mad props to it and patting it on the shoulder. The following are some nice tips we pulled
from BEST OF REYKJAVÍK 2012, which you can find in full at www.grapevine.is
There are a bunch of nice places to
read a book, but many of them are
weather-dependent and relying on the
weather is risky at best. If it’s sunny
we agree that the botanical garden is
a pretty nice, quiet place to read. You
can find a spot there sheltered from
the wind, but if it’s cold and rainy, you
probably don’t want to be outside.
That’s why we decided to go with
Stofan, a cosy café with comfortable
couches. It feels super homey, like
grandma’s house homey, and it’s typi-
cally pretty quiet.

BEST PLACE TO START THE
NIGHT: KEX HOSTEL
Best Of Reykjavík
A lot of people like KEX Hostel’s bar for
starting their nights these days. One
correspondent remarked that “KEX
have very decent beer on tap, their
back porch is nice for soaking up the
sun on bright days and the bar food is
affordable and tasty. I also always meet
someone fun when I’m there, whether
it’s an old friend or a tourist passing
through town.” Others commend KEX
for their regularly scheduled events
and pleasant, low-key atmosphere. In
any case, it’s a winner.

Lucky Records offers scores of hard-
to-find vinyl and first editions of rare
Icelandic and international LPs. “This
is where I send my visiting music geek
friends,” remarked one reader while
another noted that the store is “world
class! I found a battered 7" of ‘Kind
Midas Touch’ by The Hollies for 1 EUR
and a pile of old electro boogie stuff.”
