in flowing black capes and dresses.
If you are into this particular 101 RVK
look, this place is gold.
23. Lucky Records
Rau!arárstígur 10
L uck y Re c ords is the punk y,
underground horse of the Reykjavík
record scene. It’s one of those shops
that is easy to get lost in—expect
to easily spend an entire afternoon
perusing their selection.
24. Pastel Flower Studio
Baldursgata 36
Pastel Flower Studio is only open on
Fridays and Saturdays from 13:00
to 18:00—so plan accordingly.
The studio uses cut, dried, and
to feel a little classier and drink
with dignity. The beer selection is
top-notch, and the handcrafted
interior tips the scales of upscale
rustic charm. You can be certain
that conversation will rule, not loud
music. You also might meet important
people, fall in love, and move to
Seltjarnarnes.
19. English Pub
Austurstræti 12
True to its name, the English Pub
offers many different kinds of lager
on tap and a whiff of that genuine
UK feel. Try the famous “wheel of
fortune” where one can win up to
a metre of beer with a single spin
while a steady team of troubadours
engage the crowd in classic sing-
alongs every night. The only thing
missing is the salt & vinegar crisps.
Shopping
20. Hildur Yeoman
Laugavegur 7
Hildur's got a fresh new boutique
on Laugavegur. As well as selling
her own designs—womenswear
characterised by flowing shapes
made from f ine fabrics with
colourful, distinctive, busy prints—
Hildur Yeoman's boutique also
features sunglasses by Le Specs,
jewellry by Vanessa Mooney, French
tea, and other interesting trinkets.
21. nomad.
Frakkastígur 8f
A relative newbie to the Laugavegur
scene, nomad. was a surprise
runner-up for the Best Design
Store at the 2020 Best of Reykjavík
awards. They have a fantastically
curated selection of books, lamps,
candles and more. Plus, the owner
is a photographer and often has
exhibitions on the lower floor.
22. Aftur
Laugavegur 39
Aftur is a mecca for Iceland’s stylish
gothy fashionistas. Whilst most of
the young Reykjavík crowd is wearing
baseball caps and 90s throwback
pieces, the older ones are often seen
Mutt Gallery
Laugavegur 48
A new gallery? In MY visual arts issue?
What are the chances? Yes, taking over
the old KronKron store is Mutt Gallery, run
by visual arts devotée Júlía Marinósdóttir.
The gallery takes its name from the fa-
mous Duchamp urinal work—which was
signed R. Mutt—and is currently present-
ing an exhibition by Úlfur Karlsson enti-
tled ‘2+2=5’. Their next exhibition (which
will open on February 26th) will be by Shu
Yi, whose artwork explores moments in
time. We say, what a moment in time for
art in Reykjavík. HJC

fresh flowers to create unique
arrangements that reference
classic Icelandic nature in an
unexpected and innovative way.
Trust us: You won’t find a florist in the
city that’s in any way comparable.
25. Street Rats Tattoo
Hverfisgata 37
Kristófer, a.k.a. Sleepofer Tattoo,
has proven himself to be a fresh,
experimental artist whose works
have become a somewhat coveted
symbol in the city. So if you’re
looking to get your travel tattoo,
go there. It’s way more interesting
than a Vegvísir.
