New Year’s Eve in Iceland

read more

New Year’s Eve need not be over rated, anti-climatic and overpriced. Having spent the last six years in different cities, from London, to Orlando, Las Vegas, New York and Abu Dhabi, we love finding a new destination to enjoy the celebrations of New Years Eve. To ring in 2016 we picked Iceland. Iceland has to be one of […]

Fire & Ice -The Best of Iceland

read more

A trip to Iceland was booked slightly naively, solely to hunt for the Northern Lights. Then realisation dawned that if we didn’t see them it would be a pretty disastrous trip. Fortunately Iceland has so much more to offer, than just the Northern Lights, so much so, we almost forgot they were the sole purpose […]

Time’s Square Ball Drop, New Year’s Eve, New York

Ringing in the New Year, 2015, in New York was amazing. The infamous Ball Drop has to be the place to be in Manhattan on New Year’s Eve. It can be slightly overwhelming trying to figure out the logistics of being in the heart of it all. One million people packed into Time’s Square last […]

Kol, Reykjavík

Food & Drink

Kol has a lovely, modern Icelandic feel and serves some of the best cocktails and food in Iceland. With experienced head chef, Einar Hjaltason and Karl Porsteinsson having worked at London’s Le Manoir Aux Quat Saisons, Dabbous, and Noma in Copenhagen we had high expectations. The menu is varied and service friendly and attentive. The homemade lemonade of lemon, orange and grapefruit with a sprig of mint was rather refreshing. The warm bread was infused with fruit and served with a light, airy whipped butter. The lamb topped with barley, goats cheese and carrot tempura was divine. The cod was cooked to perfection with charred iceberg lettuce and molasses. The ambience adds to the dining experience. We would recommend this for a special evening in Iceland or before an evening to search for the Northern Lights. Kol, Skolavoroustigur 40, Reykjavik 101, Iceland

Time’s Square Ball Drop, New Year’s Eve, New York

Time’s Square Ball Drop, New Year’s Eve, New York

Celebrations

Ringing in the New Year, 2015, in New York was amazing. The infamous Ball Drop has to be the place to be in Manhattan on New Year’s Eve. It can be slightly overwhelming trying to figure out the logistics of being in the heart of it all. One million people packed into Time’s Square last year and it can only be described as organised chaos. It’s free to stand in Time’s Square but it does comes at a price. It’s absolutely freezing and once you enter a designated standing area, you can’t really leave and if you do, you won’t be allowed back in. People start standing from the early hours, as once Time’s Square is full, all the side roads leading up to Time’s Square are closed to traffic and pedestrians. Security is high and unless you have tickets for an event in the area or are staying in a hotel within the road blocks you will have to come into the area quite early to join in the party. The advantage of booking a party or restaurant in Time’s Square, most will have a designated standing area which you can join just before midnight to catch the Ball drop. There […]

Where to Eat in Copenhagen If You Can’t Get A Table at Noma

Where to Eat in Copenhagen If You Can’t Get A Table at Noma

Celebrations Food & Drink Honeymoons

Everyone knows that a trip to Denmark would not be complete without dining at the infamous Noma, voted number one best restaurant in the world for many years. Having waited years to visit Copenhagen with the hope of a reservation at Noma, we finally gave up waiting. Having periodically tried to book a table at Noma for years, it seems to be virtually impossible despite being on their waiting lists for what seems like a lifetime. We decided it was time to visit Copenhagen anyway, especially when we heard Rick Stein couldn’t get a table either. So instead we created an alternative foodie itinerary. The food in Copenhagen is excellent and actually not having to eat ants at the worlds best restaurant, didn’t seem so disappointing after all. We decided the way to go was to check out establishments run by restaurateur Claus Meyer, the co-founder of Noma. And what a genius idea that was, even if we do say so our selves. First stop- Meyer’s Bageri. From the moment you walk into the bakery, the aroma of fresh bread is just overwhelming, and heavenly. The Danish pastry is famed for a reason. The cinnamon rolls were perfectly formed, gently sweet and fragrant. The hint […]
