The R eykjavík G rapevine Iceland A irw aves Special 20 18 42 Get Your Shit Together The ultimate Airwaves hangover guide Words: Hannah Jane Cohen Photos: Art Bicnick Hey guys, you know what’s cool? Alcohol. You know what’s not cool? The stuff alcohol does to you. So let the Grapevine guide you through the shame and misery of that in- evitable Airwaves hangover. We understand. Water You know that moment when you wake up after a long night out and your entire body feels like a raisin screaming out for moisture? Well, thanks to all of those Fernet Branca shots last night, you’re there. Welcome to the pain. The hangover day is here…officially. But, lucky for you, you chose to get drunk in Reykjavík, which is not only the Chlamydia cap- ital of the world—watch out for one-night stands—but also the capital of the country with possibly the best water in the world. So please, skip the plastic and drink from the tap. If you’re really hurting, down an ibupro- fen as well. Food Now that you’ve quenched your thirst, you’ll need some calories, “carb-dashian” style. So grab your wallet, dark sunglasses, barf bag and 66° North sweat- shirt, and get ready to carb-load like you’re about to run a mara- thon. You deserve this. There are two choices here, depending on the vibe of the hangover meal you’re searching for. First off, nothing hits the spot better than a greasy burg- er from Prikið, topped off with a healthy portion of their leg- endary fries and cocktail sauce. While some might opt for a beer at this point, we’d urge you to put that off and just get a large Coke instead. You need the sugar and caffeine, darling. And don’t worry, their vegan burgers are just as naughty. That said, if you’re more on the bougie side, Café Paris’ pan- cakes are the way to go. Basical- ly the fanciest way to consume carbs, we’d recommend the ones doused with caramel and ba- nanas. Sure, it’s nontradition- al, but there’s a reason we call Café Paris the dark horse of the hangover meal. A sweet, moist, luxurious reason. MORE WATER Now that you’re full, caffein- ated and hydrated, it’s time to rejuvenate your skin and soul with a long soak at the pool. While there are a ton of hot pots around Reykjavík, the down- town haunt Sundhöllin is a fine choice. Not only is it closer to your food venues and presum- ably your overpriced Airbnb, but with the new renovation, everything’s shiny and kind of glamorous. So do a few laps, sweat it out in the steam room and warm those cool bones. How much like a competent adult do you feel now? Pro-tip: Use your sauna time to work through your feelings about whatever embarrassing thing you did last night at the RVKDTR show. Beer The last step in the guide to sur- viving a hangover is, unfortu- nately, to start drinking again. Hair of the dog, you know? To do so like a pro, down- load the Grapev i ne’s Appy Hour app—woah, I hear you say, are you seriously putting a plug for your own app in the article? Um, why yes, we are. And you know why? Drinking in Reykjavík is expensive and we at the Grapevine believe you deserve the cheapest le- gal high you can get. It’s your god-given right as an Airwaves guest. So use the app to find the cheapest places around— we’re fans of the happy hours at Bravó, Kaffibrennslan and Kaffibarinn—and start crack- in’ open a few cold ones. Then continue until the shows start, part y hard, and repeat the whole process the next morn- ing. “Use your sauna time to work through your feelings about whatever embarrassing thing you did last night at the RVKDTR show.”
