we just booked iceland for the week between christmas and new years (plus a couple of days). we'll be in the northern part for 4 days sea kayaking, snowmobiling, whale watching, skiing, and sitting on our asses. we'll be in reykjavik on new years eve through the third of january (thinking of snorkling in thingvellir national park). should be prime time for the northern lights.

will be beautiful scenery

please don't die in the frigid water

We’re about a week and a half out from our Chicago trip to see Oasis.

Looking for some recs for places to eat. We’re staying on the mag mile again. My wife just made a reservation at avec. We went to Lula(?) last time we were in town, as well as some Indian restaurant that I can’t quite remember the name of.

Any places we need to check out?

i would take coffee recs too. Been to intelligentsia, and I think I want to try to get to Metric coffee.

when are you coming here?

if you're looking for a pretty cool dinner place and are willing to spend a little extra, check out this place: https://www.momotarochicago.com/ while it's japanese, it's not traditional sushi. it's pretty awesome, and their cocktails are amazing.

also, go to the west loop for lunch to this place: https://jpgraziano.com/ they have the best italian sandwiches in the city.

I never did get to JP’s for one. /:

I guarantee none of the water related stuff will happen. Maybe the whale watching.

but it's Dec / Jan in iceland ! The perfect time to go sea kayaking and snorkeling. And snowmobiling is super safe and peaceful and enjoyable because of those two things.

I was there in summer, but I think the temps don’t change much throughout the year. The amount of sunlight does, though.

that could put a damper on whale watching visibility.

It’s a magical place for sure. We’ve taken our kids to Jamaica, Mexico, Canada, five other European countries, and 45 US States, and they still both say Iceland is their favorite.

You’re welcome

how is the food in iceland?

i know lots of people who have been

they talk about the scenery

never hear any feedback on the food

food is an important element of vacation for me

sometimes island nations seem to struggle on this front

[96583UP]

This looks appetizing

Spoiler: show

"Hakarl" is a fermented Greenland shark, and it's perhaps the most infamous of all Icelandic food. Greenland sharks are poisonous when fresh as they contain a deadly amount of ammonia, but they are safe to eat after being buried in a hole and left to ferment for six weeks (and up to 12 weeks).

[96583UP]

"Hrutspungar" is pickled ram's testicles—boiled and cured in whey. It's another example of traditional Icelandic food with a rich history and reflects the ingenuity of early Icelanders in using every part of the animal.

A paté version is also easier on the stomach and can be spread on rye bread.
