César sure knows his beans and makes a mean espresso. He'll give you a little Nicaraguan coffee tutorial while he's making your drink, too. The shop American Two Shot where the Cafe Integral counter is located is also worth checking out.

@Eric: It was so nice meeting you at the festival! The market looks awesome. And that is perhaps the sweetest photo any son has ever taken with his mother.

@Chris Yes, yes she will. I also love your mom.

@carriebwc: It was definitely right up there with eating Hello Kitty. Not that I have done that.
@NirvRush: Agree with you that the milk from those happy Icelandic cows makes for superior skyr. They do sell the Icelandic brand (produced by Mjólkursamsalan) at select Whole Foods, primarily in NY and LA regions.
@vikingappetite: thank you for catching those! Ok wow, puffin pizza?! This sounds like a Slice post that needs to happen...along with Hello Kitty pizza. I can't say that I saw or tried it, ditto Icelandic haggis ice cream or ram's testicles. But yes, Icelandic homegrown bananas!
@Osomatic: Ha, I was waiting for someone to ask that. Not really, though I did visit Bjork Park in Reykjavik where there were many swans. So now her dress makes perfect sense.

But do they have the Nutella-ricotta calzone on the menu at the Little Italy location? (And yeah I'd agree with Malanga, more South Slope than Sunset)

My neighborhood just keeps getting better and better. Battersby has been high on my list, now even higher. Must order that green jumble of fava beans, basil, parsley, dandelion greens, and arugula POST-HASTE.

@neferkatie: Whoops, recipe link is up there now!

@daleoliver Sure did. Went to the famous place by the harbor in Reykjavik: Bæjarins Beztu Pylsur, which translates to "best hot dog in town." Was it? I can't say since it's the only hot dog I had in town but the casing was insanely snappy, and then you have the crunchy fried onions on top. Probably the snappiest-crunchiest hot dog I've ever eaten. More Icelandic hot doggage in Robyn's post from her trip in '09. Do you know if the dogs are a blend of mutton with pork and beef?
