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 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.

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).

"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.
