It was busy with all the tables taken on…read morethe first floor, but one person told me to go ahead and take a sit upstairs and then someone else stopped me at the stairs and said the section was closed because they were closing soon. So we ended up sitting on the bar by the window where the cold air would pay a visit every time the door was opened. Upon ordering drinks, we were told that the kitchen was closed so the only thing they could make was the Nachos. I looked at the menu and the nachos looked amazing so i went with it. When the nachos arrived they turned out to be just chips with salsa and sour cream on the side, apparently there is a different menu for late night food in which the nachos are just a plate of $5 chips. The beers were good and the staff was cordial, but might be better to arrive early to avoid disappointments. definitely not a late night joint.

It was jam packed here so we had to stand at the bar which was uncomfortably snug and the heat was insane but I imagine that if you came here with a reservation the atmosphere would be great. They have live music here most nights and you pay a small fee of 40k after each set. I have heard however that the place is closing in months time, end of June. So come here before you miss your chance, an while your at it try there chocolate cake! It's incredible! -1 star for the heat, really need air conditioning, or open a door.

The first thing that got my attention about iDance was that it was in English...There are a lot of…read moresalsa lessons around Stockholm but to my knowledge they are all in Swedish unless you ask if they will do it in English on a class by class basis. Not that it's impossible to figure out what's going on in the context of dancing, but it does add an added layer of processing if it's not your native language (and you're not very good to begin with [at Salsa OR Swedish]). But the thing that sold me was absolutely Andreas' personality and teaching style. I first took a lesson during one of the free drop-in weeks for bachata which happens a few times during the year and really enjoyed the class. It was A) fun! B) funny! (different words Swedes ;). Andreas has an awesome teaching style that really takes the stress out of dancing and makes it easy to laugh at yourself, which is essential if you are like me and hate being bad at things. He's also a pretty funny guy leading the class. The other great thing about this school is how many different locations it is taught in! North Stockholm, Central Stockholm, Söder -- there are classes everywhere, and at all sorts of hours! They also seem to remember what it's like to be a beginner. The most defeating part for me with other schools has been taking a lesson and then trying to practice in the socials with the regulars. Of course some people are helpful and most are understanding but it's not necessarily the best situation to learn when you're starting and for me it stopped being fun at that point. iDance has come up with the idea of holding practice sessions for the students in the beginners courses with slow tempo songs and cheap entrance. Awesome idea. Pretty clear they really want you to have the opportunity to succeed. It's a big group of people, so if you're expecting individual attention that's not really how this style of teaching works. It's all about follow the leader and figuring things out with your classmates. I'm not in any position to judge the technical aspects of his teaching style or whether what I'm learning follows this or that style of Salsa. Every time I go to the weekly class I smile and laugh and so does everyone else. That's 5 stars in my book. Recommended!

Easily the best Eritrean food (from Ethiopia) I have ever had…read more My server spoke a bit of English and brought me an English menu. When I asked I wanted a selection of various items, she recommended I get the Beb'Ainetu--the selection of spinach, curried potato, yellow lentil curry, lamb curry and chicken curry with egg on the Injera (think tangy, fluffy-spongy pancake) was irresistable. Yes, the food takes a while to emerge. So treat yourself to a languid meal and savor the love with which this spectacular food is made. Here's a pro tip: eat ONLY with your right hand and fingertips. Do not lick your fingers. Flick excess food and sauce back onto your platter. Pick up some Injera with your fingers then tear it with 1 hand by grasping it between thumb and fingers and pushing away with index finger. Then plop the piece on pancake on the food you desire to pick it up.

When I visited, the restaurant was packed with mostly Eritreans which is a good thing since it shows the authenticity of the food. I had issues communicating with the hostess who could not understand clearly my American English. I was lucky there was a table left and was seated quickly. The menu is in Swedish. I used the Yelp app to view the reviews, tips, and pictures of the food. I ended up trying the lamb with injera. It took a while to get it, but when I did, it was God sent! Be prepared to use ur fingers. They also have a board by the bar with all the specials for the day. Great food overall. I'll come and check this place out again.

We walked over to Skansen after the Vasa Museum. The weather was quite nice and sunny which was…read moreperfect to enjoy this outdoor museum. After entering we decided to walk the path up to the park instead of buying a ticket for the funicular. It took roughly 10 minutes on a slight incline. Skansen was huge and does take time to go from place to place. Initially we wandered from building to building and many were not staffed or only viewable from the outside. While it was interesting to read the posted signs it wasn't too interesting. At the Oktorp farmstead, we finally found the first staffed location and got to see and learn about dying of yarn. Here we also learned which buildings were staffed and from that point forward gave us a plan of how to tackle Skansen and made the visit much more enjoyable. We had a great conversation about politics in the People's House which was very appropriate and compared it against present day in both our countries. Many parallels. We learned more about typical farm life in the Skane Farmstead while stooping low inside the house and that led to the Delsbo Farmstead. Delsbo was quite the opposite as it was ornately decorated with detailed wall paintings paid for by the well to do family per the staff. I highly encourage anyone visiting to engage with the staff as they were very enthusiastic about sharing their knowledge of the period or activities that went on in that particular farmstead, building, church, etc. We skipped seeing all the animals they kept towards the back of Skansen as well as the aquarium. Overall spent over 2 hours here and likely could've spent more if more buildings were staffed and open. Glad the weather held throughout our visit.

The ice sculptures are beautiful. They close the place for about 2 weeks once a year to redo the ice sculptures. It really is cool- in more ways than one! Yes, it is a tourist trap but for about $30 USD - it was well worth it.

I only last 30mins and I left. Definitely something to do in case you wonder how cold and how it is at the actual ice hotel. Yup, no need for me for sure. But really enjoyed the experience.
